<<< Excuse me sir, but didn't you mean "lock transporter on landing
	party", and not "lock phasers"? >>>

	We all realize that the sets for S.T. were minimal, and done
on a small budget, and unlike Star Wars, were not the star of the
show, but the controls have always bothered me.  Do you realize that
not a single control or indicator on the entire ship was labeled? 
Okay, so the regular man at that post would know the controls, but
how about someone filling in during an emergency?  Not even the
emergency type equipment was labeled!  Everyone would have to know
every single control on the ship!!!

	That, and the three slides on the transporter controls.  Has
anyone ever seen a show were all three were not slid together?  Why
not one slide control?  (I know, they built the set with three.)  So
why not slide just one on an occasion.

	Actually, other than the controls, I never noticed any
inconsistencies during the first runs.  (That rules out the problems
of not using second season technology in the first season.)  In
fact, the only other thing that bothered me was "Eden".  I almost
get embarrassed for G.R. each time I see it.  I mean, just because
SPOCK has ears...
