11 Nifty Little Visual Details You Never Notices in “Star Trek”
Me-TV presents 11 Nifty Little Visual Details You Never Notices in Star Trek. Here are three of my favorites…
THE KLINGON’S BELT BUCKLES ARE BUBBLE WRAP.
Yep, that’s just gold-painted bubble wrap. That’s not so strange. Batman’s utility belt was once made out of sponges.
D-DAY HERO JAMES DOOHAN WAS MISSING HIS RIGHT MIDDLE FINGER.
Doohan served in the Canadian Infantry in World War II, landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. After taking down two snipers and holding position on higher ground for the evening, he was hit by six rounds of friendly fire, including one in his right hand. His finger was amputated. As an actor, he tried to conceal this, but you can spot his war wound here and there, like when Scotty carries a platter of Tribbles.
KIRK AND SPOCK VISITED MAYBERRY A COUPLE TIMES.
As it was a Desilu production, Star Trek often shot outdoors on the studio’s Forty Acres backlot, also home of The Andy Griffith Show. Thus, you can spot the familiar landmarks of Mayberry in “Miri,” “The City on the Edge of Forever,” “The Return of the Archons” and “A Piece of the Action” — but Mayberry can best be seen in the first two.
