Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the people on Eminiar VII also serve colourful food cubes as little snacks to the Enterprise landing party in #StarTrekTOS' "A Taste of Armageddon". A clear case of Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development! :-)

This is an excellent question. I decided they were just meant to look otherworldly.

Shooting the brief but meaningful scene in which Spock ponders the image of young T'Pau in his quarters.

#StarTrekTOS' "The Man Trap" is the first episode in which we see the colourful food cubes which appear in many later episodes. Notice how the bowl of cubes ⬆️ (on a small plate) is suddenly a large plate of cubes in the close-up ⬇️. All the blue cubes are also suddenly gone in the close-up... ;-)

There are things to like and things to dislike about Harlan Ellison’s script for City on the Edge of Forever.
One great element: his Rand is a badass. #startrek

Possible evidence that an editor was covering both his a** and Mr. Shatner's during post-production for "That Which Survives". Modesty was not preserved, as the "Wardrobe Malfunction" made it into the final cut. Editor's job security?...unknown.

#StarTrek trivia: In The Corbomite Maneuver, the transporter is used to test the air before beaming over.

KIRK: Transporter ready?
SCOTT: ...We're locked on what appears to be a main deck.
KIRK: Air sample?
SCOTT: Breathable. In fact, a slightly higher oxygen content than our own.

He played Commodore Stone in Court Martial, he voiced many movie trailers, notably for Jaws, and he was was Canadian. Percy Rodriguez was a lucky man.
