Didn't they film that in the Philippines?

a running hot tub full of it

I was adding the part about recycling actors.. The other Trek shows do plenty of the other as well.

I do indeed: Voyager is trapped over a planet in some sort of temporal vortex, with the result that time is moving much faster for the organisms on the surface than for the crew of the ship.

Well, I was 13, and also remember I could only see the exact same point of view, not go around to points of interest, etc…

Even worse:

I think I'd suspect that TNG Doohan might have eaten Sixties Scotty.

I was suck for nearly two weeks at the Grand Canyon on vacation with my family as kid when the car broke downa nd then two tires exploded… There's only so much you can do…
Visit the trading post.
Hike down.
Camp.
Hike back up.
Repeat.
Repeat again…

I love all that shit, used to have the AMC models of them as well. And think the TOS Phaser II (with the little Phaser I that pops in on top) is the best sci-fi ray gun of all time (at least on TV)

Which I took to be a riff on the 'GotEoF' quip about Spock getting his head stuck in a Chinese 'rice-picker' as a child…

Zack goes commando for all DS9 write-ups.

With that pronunciation could we call Keiko 'Fauxy Lady'?

Ah yes, "Ambalappuzha"…

TNG Ferengi couldn't risk having crappers on their ships- Not because tey were so ferocious and terrifying (as we were constantly informed) but for fear of being flushed away their crappy selves…

Give me nerdy and nitpicky or give me head!

"Spock Messiah" is one of the only Trek novels I have read (It's been thirty years, though…)

Prior to that, The Motion Picture, actually.

The joke still works because it is funny, and superior to the explanation on Enterprise…

God did Dax rock that uniform!

I think this aspect i a direct result of sixties studio-lot mentality/
