There were no muslims I can recall in the original Star Trek series,

That's because it occurs in the future.

Ah, the NSEA Protector:

Never give up, never surrender!"

"Full speed ahead Tommy; peddle to the metal!"

"Computer, is there another bryllium sphere on board?"

Voice of Computer: Negative, there is no replacement Beryllium Sphere on board. 

Gwen DeMarco: [to crew] No, there is no replacement Beryllium Sphere on board. 

Tommy Webber: You know, that is really getting annoying! 

Gwen DeMarco: [shouts] Look! I have one job on this lousy ship, it's *stupid*, but I'm gonna do it! Okay? 

Tommy Webber: Sure, no problem."

Love Galaxy Quest, sorely miss Sir Alexander Dane/Alan Rickman:"By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged!"

It is fiberglass resin, not just “glue”. That is what resin does, one minute it is a non viscus liquid, then it cures in quick time to a solid. It does not dry like glue.

I hate the majority of that episode, though the Scotty - McCoy corridor conversation during the “court proceedings” was some of James Doohan’s best work. Pity that the network pulled the plug when it did, that was a lousy episode to end on.

My oldest son is a serious model builder, and competes in model shows. He’s done the Enterprise in detail, with his own lighting. Thanks for posting this. I sent him the link to the article. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. I think we saw this model years ago when it was in a special Star Trek exhibit at the Air and Space Museum. We made a special trip to D.C. just to see it.

Just like the hardened resin that's on Tut's mummy.

Hubby and I watched an episode together and were in awe of all the technology from the original Star Trek that is in use today.

No question who your favorite crew member is.

... face-pulling (in the style of Star Trek 's Pavel Chekov), as well

Pavel Andreievich Chekov (Russian) is a fictional character in the Star Trek universe. Walter Koenig portrays Chekov in the second and third seasons of the original Star Trek series and first seven Star Trek films.--wikipedia

I thought the Smithsonian was all about real things, not poorly acted science fiction. Definitely not logical.


Well, they’ve got Archie Bunker’s chair and Seinfeld’s Puffy Shirt, so WTH’s wrong with having the Enterprise there too?

They spent several months and got it off, glued the beard back with beeswax like it was originally.

I’ve bought a couple of kits after decades of not fooling with scale models.

Next month I hope to get an airbrush rig. I never had one before.

That is not wasted glue.

Those are the di-lithium crystals.
