I think that green wraparound thing is his ballet practice top - he forgot to change. Perhaps he and the Klingon captain are going to enter Strictly Come Dancing? |

'Shore Party - avoid trouble with the Klingons'? But trouble is what being a shore party is all about. |

Chekhov's got a big comb-forward combover. How's that going to stand up in the fight scene? Actually, maybe it WILL stand up in the fight scene. |

The man with Scotty and Chekhov in the bar was apparently Kirk's stunt double - in the DS9 episode O'Brien mistakes him for Kirk. |

Scotty as the voice of moderation - until they start dissing his beloved. Aren't we all? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I know why everything is back to front, compared with the episode I saw last night - the Dailymotion videos are all back to front: why? |

That 'assistant' chap in the background is struggling not to laugh.

How do the tribbles stick to the walls? Blu-tac feet? |

Loving the random tribbles falling on Kirk. They overdid it in the end, but then they are Americans.

I love the way the odd tribble still occasionally plops out of the grain store In the DS9 episode, Sisko and Dax are searching the grain store for a bomb hidden in a tribble, tossing them aside when they turn out not to be bombs. A few of them hit Kirk . . . |

Klingon spy shaved off his goatee and fooled everyone. Simple but effective ruse |

How would you clear up tribbles? Got to be a black bin liner job. |

Well, that was world-class entertainment all right. Wasted on Horizoners, of course... A bit like 'Waldorf Salad'. |
