Think Tank - Fun Facts
Posted: March 5th, 2015, 3:04 am
Making you stretch your brains and pull your hair from Cadet to Fleet Admiral... This is The Think Tank!!
Taking a break from the bigger questions of the fleet and getting back to what we love... Staaaaaaa trek!!!!
(Yes I spelled it wrong on purpose)
Although I knew some of these I found others online which you can also find, but the point is to figure it out BEFORE you decide to google it. Take a look and see what you know :)
1. Star Trek TOS broke a boundary that had never been done on television before when performing this scene. It was retaken several times without the controversy added but then added in the last take and then used in the episode making it iconic. What was it?
2. Is a person is the Only person who portrayed himself throughout the franchise, who was it?
3. In the 2009 Star Trek reboot film, Zachary quinto (Spock) couldn't do the Vulcan salute. JJ Abrams did this to get Quinto to do it correctly.
4. Star Trek TOS didn't have the budget to land starships on planets, so this device was used instead.
5. The first movie sequence that used only computers for their sequence was during the genesis device on this movie. The company that did it later became Disney Pixar.
6. This actress who played a regular Star Trek character originally quit after season 1. Before it was known publicly, Martin Luthor King approached her and said "you can't quit, your an inspiration to so many people." Because of the talk with her hero, she resumed her work on Star Trek
7. During season 1 of TNG, male officers had this to show equality in the future, though it was taken out in season 2 and never used again through any series.
Think you know the answers, post em up!!!
One added fact about Hoss, I have a communicator pin from voyager, and often wear it under my shirt onto another shirt when I'm out either in school or work or even just going out. Actually when I go out I just display it, but for the most part I feel like the franchise has such an impact on my life, it's a part of me, and I wear it when I can.
