Best TV science fiction ever! As a child, It influenced me to become an engineer.

Just be sure to keep the haggis out of the fire.

That was my favorite show. I knew all the writers and most of the stars. It sure made for an interesting childhood for my son. It's hard to believe it was that long ago.

...some of the story themes are great .... This Side of Paradise was a good theme ...wasn't it about that having no problems, no hardships, status quo, etc will not allow you to live with emotions--live life ?
Shatner was a ham actor

Shatner was universally disliked. Leonard Nimoy never spoke to him. Their feud was legendary.

Hi guys, I'm new here, still trying to figure out the damn thing,! He he.
The Next Generation changed my life, it showed me what people who really cared for each other looked like, what they said and what they did, the respect, the dignity, ahhhh... Of course coming back from such a perfect world was not always easy, reality is such a waste of time, sometimes... ANYWAY, my fav episode? "The Shining Light" when Jean-Luc plays flute on a planet and he has a wife and children who grow really fast and friends who really love him and then... : )
Cheers, Rosalie.

Yes, and Shatner was free on that day but he didn't go to Nimoy's funeral, some people are not human I think.

That episode was one of the best shows ever broadcast on American TV.

On the original series the episode called "City on the Edge of Forever" was excellent.

Harlan Ellison won a Hugo award for that one. Those were the days when real writers wrote screenplays. Now they are all written by committee.

Where does the crew sleep, where is the mess hall and hospital?

Where does the crew sleep, where is the mess hall and hospital?

Mostly those sections that aren't labeled ("empty boxes") in the illustration. This appears to be one focused on engineering, sensors, communications, and weapons details.

I read where they originally wanted to spend a ton of money on that episode and do it up right but the producers wouldn't let them. They ran over the budget a little bit but not to the extent they wanted to do it.

Also, the city scenes were shot on the set used for the Andy Griffin Show during off hours.

Rosalie Welcome to the board! I liked that episode and the Next Generation, but being old school my favorite episode is The Menagerie from the original series.

He also never spoke to Gene again because Gene and Dorothy had to do a serious rewrite of Harlan's story to make it into a 'Star Trek' episode, and Ellison was furious. But you can buy and read how "City" originally went and it is even better than the TV show.
