This is a fun thread. I coulda been a contender! I thought of Edith Keeler right away, and started writing a post to add her to your list...... only I was embarrassed because I couldn't think of the name of the episode, only that Bones had gone nuts and jumped through the time portal. But, perhaps she shouldn't be added, technically, because McCoy had a thing for her too?

"She who bore me was killed in a freestyle match". Whew..........tough neighborhood.
City on the Edge of Forever, is the title of that one.
Awww don't be embarrased... jump right in ... I don't remember all the episode names either ;)Quote:

lmaoooo.... I never drugged any man .........
Well..... except maybe intoxicating him with my charm and witty personality https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im.../2007/04/7.gif
I didn't say THEY drugged me.............
ooooooooooh!!! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im...2006/12/12.gif
I'm out at my folks house and just went through a bunch of old photos. What a stroll down memory sewer. Man, am I depressed now! :D
I have a love/hate relationship with looking at old photos :D
Yeah, it really brought back some happier times. Old friends, old girlfriends, the whole crowd of us that's all scattered now.
We can continue tracking Kirk's escapades....but a quick question in the meantime..... ;)
How long did Anan 7 have to comply before implementation of general order 24. And what was general order 24?
2hrs, and gen. order 24 meant laying waste to the entire inhabited surface of the planet.
Wow....what were you doing...watching me post? That was fast...... :D
BTW....I'm a huge fan of general order 24. There is something so "complete" about it....LOL :D
Nope just luck. I'm sitting here talking to my pal in the UK and I just happened to refresh the page at that time :)
Good job...... :)
Just barely a minute between posts :D
Hey...ask your UK buddy if they get the old Star Trek shows over there....
Yeah he knows the show. They got it back when and they get the new one now. He knows the show.
He just mentioned "The Trouble with Tribbles" and the fact that the klingons changed over the yrs.
Cool............Trek belongs to the whole world anyway. :cool: :D
Well come to think of it, there were no english officers on the ship. You heard the odd brit accent on a planet or 2, but none on the ship that I can recall.
By the way, did you know that Nichelle Nicholls was going to leave the show, but was talked out of it by Coretta King?
Scottie is as close you get there......
I do think that Tralane, the Squire of Gothos was making an attempt anyway. :D
I had heard that....Quote:

Also....I heard Rodenberry was sniffing around her pretty good..... :D
Yep, Coretta considered her a major and visible triumph, in that the future was being painted as a fully integrated one. So Nichelle stayed with the show after their talk.

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im.../2008/10/3.gif Something tells me that too :D
Didn't mention that in the book. All it mentioned was, that producing the show was SO draining because of the constant fights with the network, and the incredibly tight budget they were forced to work under (overtime was VERBOTEN) that it drove both Genes (Roddenberry and L. Coon) into collapse.
No matter how you slice it...Roddenberry was way ahead of his time. Like Star Trek or hate it.....it had a major impact not only on entertainment, but the real world as well. Think "communicator" the next time you flip open your cell phone. ;)
Well I don't have a cell but I know what ya mean. He was brilliant, yeah. And he and Gene Coon did SO much on that show you have no idea. Getting scripts was near impossible, and they usually had to do extensive rewrites because of the budget.
City on the Edge of Forever was written by legendary sci-fi writer, Harlan Ellison. His original script has so many extras and was so elaborate that there was no way it was ever going to make it to the tv screen. The 2 Genes rewrote it, much to Harlan's dismay, and that's what we got to see. Harlan submitted the original it to some major sci-fi writers contest and won best script with it.
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im.../2009/03/3.gif NO CELL PHONE!!!
:D
No, no cell. I hate em.
I don't have a land line anymore - so its just a cell..... but I never have been someone to spend every minute on the phone... even when I had a land line ;)
I'm here visiting my parents until tomorrow. We're about to have a toast for independence day with my pal in Northern UK. Now THAT'S what I call a sport! His country gets kicked out, and not even provided a lunch (like we do now) and he's willing to celebrate with us.
Of course I know it's really just an excuse for him to get another pint of bitter from the fridge..............
