Giving us the prime example of that small subset of Trek episodes forever filed under 'B' for 'Better Hide Those Ears, Spock'.

Does The Voyage Home film count as one of that subset? (I did the italics just for you).

Very much so. Although the headband on the bus is also part of a separate subset - 'Ill-judged Fashion Choices' - so I'd need to draw quite a complex Venn (Glynd) diagram for you.

Thanks for the italics. Do you do font requests?

Italics convey a sense of importance. Perfect for a Star Trek Original Series synopsis, then. Trek synopses are, by definition, important. Wouldn't really be appropriate for a B7 synopsis - though you might get away with the occasional bit of bold or the odd underline. I hope that's clarified the situation.

Phew - just made it. Had to find a hat. Hat-wearing compulsory for this episode, I suggest.

Hello. Just about to start. I've come back to a really great episode!

Scotty perched there awkwardly like that – not very safe! At least give him one of those dangly strap hangers they used to have on Tube trains in the 60s. (For any northerners out there, the Tube is a well-known rapid transport system in London. London is a city in the South-East of England.)

You know it's going to be a big story when it starts part way through...

Mr Chekhov still not available - probably being positively vetted.

Bones hadn't seen the H&S training video

This video is very weird. I keep getting shots of bodies without heads. Is this deliberate?

How many blue tops do you think Spock has? Two (i.e. just one to wear and one for spare)? Or a whole rack of them?

This is a Harlan Ellison script, isn't it?
