Empath Blooper 7.29.68 - On Minara II the Vians tell Kirk and Spock that Star Trek's high quality third season will enable the show to be renewed for a fourth season. Shatner and Nimoy find it difficult to film the scene seriously, and are still laughing on the sixth take. Clapper from the TOS episode The Empath. This shot is scanned from a printed image sold by Lincoln Enterprises in the 1970s and not from an original film clip, hence it is fuzzier than other images...though I would love to locate an original 35mm of this one!

Starbase 11 Menagerie Version - A matte painting of Starbase 11 as shown in the beginning of the two part wrap around TOS episode The Menagerie. Another Albert Whitlock painting. This Starbase was mentioned in two episodes, The Menagerie and Court Marial, though the details shown and the sky are quite different in both treatments. They were later harmonized to some extent in the CGI remasters.

Thanks for these. Great for reminiscing. I remember watching ST over and over (& over and over!) until I finally got saturated on them.
I always got the impression that the cast & crew had as great time creating them as I had watching.
