Watching X-Men Apocalypse tonight I noticed something I recognised.
On a TV screen in someone's room, Storm's cellar, I saw a Star Trek episode playing. It was the one with Apollo in his temple, like Apocalypse the false God. I can't recall the name of the episode but it s musical motif was a two-note fanfare, which has stayed with me. The fanfare wasn't played in Apocalypse.
Completely coincidentally the fanfare was played tonight before X-Men, in Star Trek The Original Series, in an episode about a mineral which made people aggressive. The fanfare played when the huge citadels were shown.
Do you know the Star Trek Apollo episode I'm on about?
Who mourns for Adonais.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tony!
DeleteI am the greatest fan of original Trek evah! Ask me anything. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA true Trekkie then?
DeleteWhat are the 4 letters seen in various places in the Jeffries tubes and what are they reputed to stand for?
ReplyDeleteGNDN goes nowhere does nothing
ReplyDeleteOK, you are the greatest fan ever!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that made me laugh!
DeleteName the actors who have officially played Captain James T Kirk on TV (not including stand-ins, stuntmen, fans in fan versions, or comedy spoofs).
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know Mish!
DeleteI'm only a fan of the Original Trek, so Shatner is my Kirk. :-)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Sandra Smith count, from 'Turnabout Intruder'?
DeleteCan't argue with your logic...
DeleteWasn't the pilot episode a different Kirk? Where was William?
ReplyDeleteThe original pilot was made with Christopher Pike commanding the Enterprise (he was played by Jeffrey Hunter), but the powers that be didn't like it and wanted a second go. Shatner was cast for that one.
ReplyDeleteYou are taking me where no Woodsy has gone before!
DeleteWell spotted Kevin.
ReplyDeleteThat was my test.
I think he maybe just crept ahead of you there Baron.
I'd include myself too, but I didn't know the Jeffries Tube answer.
I was also looking for the new Kirk from 'Strange New Worlds', Paul Wesley.
ReplyDeleteHere's another for you both.
From Original Trek, what is Kirk's alternative 'official' middle initial.
R ?

ReplyDeleteBang on Kevin !
ReplyDeleteIt is seen on the gravestone prepared for Kirk by the character Gary Mitchell using his 'superpowers', in the second pilot, 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'.
It reads James R Kirk, not 'T'.
R? Riberius is hard to say!
Delete"T" = Tiberias...
ReplyDeleteYes, what a name Bill!
DeleteIs the Next Generation as well loved as the original series?
