[edit] Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS episode)
Hello. Thanks for the work on Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS episode). You may have or may not have noticed that I've requested Wikipedia:Peer review on it, with an eye to nominating it as a featured article in future. Any comments you might have on it, or leads for more information I could add, would be great. Thanks! Morwen - Talk 16:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] To boldly go
My understanding is that the narration in the February 1966 cut was basically an extended version of the "Captain's Log" entry that made it into the final cut.
Now, this narration :
- "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds... to seek out new life, and new civilizations... to boldly go where no man has gone before."
There are memos in Inside Star Trek detailing how was developed, in August 1966.interweb has it
I think the article used to be saying that the credits narration was a cut down version of Kirk's initial narration in the Feb 66 cut : this also seems to be what you are implying in your last edit. The textual history presented in Inside Star Trek doesn't support that idea. Morwen - Talk 10:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, this edit changed
"The episode's name is the first usage of the phrase "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in Star Trek. The phrase would be incorporated into the opening credits sequence in following episodes, as part of a longer voice-over given by Captain Kirk"
to have "shorter" instead of "longer".
My intent behind this sentence is to note that
- the episode coined the phrase "Where no man has gone before"
- then in August when they were scrabbling around for a catchy credits voice-over they used the episode name "where no man has gone before" as part of the phrase
- this is not in any way linked with any of the narrations at the start of "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
The 'longer' in my version is comparing the voiceover in the subsequent episodes to the episode name. I don't know what 'short' compares with : it seems to be saying that there "Space: The Final Frontier" speech is a cut-down version of some other narration, which it patently isn't. (it has somewhat similar thematic content to Kirk's log entry at the start of the Executive's cut, I'll grant, but none of the wording is the name, and we get a cut down version of that log entry in the final episode anyway) Morwen - Talk 21:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ok. By the way, may I note that is an excellent resource you have there. I noticed the other day that we had acquired a list at List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes of unproduced scripts/stories - it seems entirely genuine and fits with material I have read elsewhere but was uncited - I wonder if you could help find a source for it? Morwen - Talk 23:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
If roddenberry.com is selling copies of unproduced or other people's that's certainly good enough for me (although he it may not be good enough for Harlan). Morwen - Talk 23:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tania Lemani
Hi, what's your source for Tania Lemani being in STOGAM, please? She's not mentioned in the reference you cited, nor have I found any other corroboration. Fayenatic london (talk) 20:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. I have trouble with these Ref tags too. They have to be <ref name="my name"> ... </ref> around the first ref. <ref name="my name"/> to re-use it - note different positions of "/". Hope this helps! - Fayenatic london (talk) 22:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

On July 2, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Charles W. Lindberg, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Well done. Great work. Kindly nominated by Capitalistroadster. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] penultimate
I full well know what the word means. I refer you to the Talk Page of the article in question, where I explained my position in full. Dogru144 04:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Albeit, incorrectly. Sir Rhosis 05:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please be civil
I know that editing can get everyone hot under the collar sometimes, but it's important to remember to be civil, even in your edit summaries. This] will only inflame matters. --Haemo 07:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Cloud Minders
Thank you for your revert of my edit and your explanation. I was so silly not following the link Star Trek: Enterprise when I made my edit, otherwise I would have noticed myself that not TOS was meant. Maybe I was a bit confused because here in the german television, TOS was broadcasted under the title "Raumschiff Enterprise", literally "Starship Enterprise" – it took some time before I learned that its real title was "Star Trek", and I still sometimes mix it up... --Cyfal (talk) 15:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- No worry, Cyfal, I can't count the number of little mistakes I've made. Best. Sir Rhosis (talk) 16:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please
Please stay away from my liver! Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 00:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] re: your note
I saw the note you left on the Gordon Scott page about the photo. If you'd contact me through the email link on the left side of my talk page, I'll send my regular email address and be glad to upload the photo for you. I'll need a bit of where and when for the free use license notes. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] re: Houlihan vs. O'Houlihan
Maybe it's just me then.. I guess I don't pay enough attention to the dialogue. Maybe I need to listen closer next time I watch it. Thank you for your explanations. (Professor2789 (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC))
[edit] Tarzan Films
(copied with reply from my own talk page.—BPK2.)
Hi, glad to see another fan of the movies has been creating articles. I've done quite a few myself recently, including all three of Mike Henry's. Hey, I was planning to do articles on Buster Crabbe's "Tarzan the Fearless" and Glenn Morris' "Tarzan's Revenge" in the next couple days. I wanted to get with you and make sure I didn't step on your toes in case you were planning to do them. Let me know. Thanks. Sir Rhosis (talk) 07:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I went ahead and created the articles. Again, hope you weren't planning to. Sir Rhosis (talk) 12:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, me again. I'm getting ready to do the article for Tarzan and the Huntress, so by the time you're up and read this, hopefully that link won't be red. Wanted to run a couple things by you. One: I'm considering writing an article for the cheapie 1999 Sony Wonder animated film called "Tarzan of the Apes." Yes, it was cheesy and has no voice credits and would be a skimpy article, BUT it was made with ERB Inc.'s permission and is an "official" release, just like the other animated Tarzan films. Would you consider putting it in your Tarzan film box if I do the article? Two, have you ever considered doing a film box (I'm talking about that big blue box you made and attached to all the Tarzan film articles, in case my inaccurate language may confuse you) for the various Tarzan TV shows. There'd be the Ely series, the "Lord of the Jungle" Saturday morning series, the Joe Lara Tarzan in Manhattan telefilm, the Tarzan the ecologist series with the tick mark over the second "a", the Joe Lara 1996 "Epic Adventures" series and finally the early 2000s animated series based on the Disney film. Just thought it might be something you would like to do. I could give it a go if you don't want to, but I'm fairly slow at these things -- whenever I create a film article, I just copy and paste an old one into the new article's blank box and go through and change the names, dates, casts, plot, etc., by hand. Anyway, I enjoy your articles. Your plots synopses are so much better than mine -- I just put enough in there to get by with, meaning to expand them someday. Best to you.

- Hi, Sir R. To answer your questions in turn:
1. Yes, it does sound like the Sony Wonder film ought to be in the film box. If you notify me when the article is done, I will see to it.
2. I think I will leave the box on the TV shows to someone more knowledgable on them; if you want to do one, it's fine with me.
Thanks for the kind comments. When I've done Tarzan film articles I've usually looked for information on the films on the net, starting with the IMDb, gone through all the plot descriptions, and written a new one based on all the relevent material. I may go back and give similar treatment to some of the articles others have created where the plot descriptions are skimpy.

- Hi, Sir R. To answer your questions in turn:
- As promised here is my review of the Sony Wonder animated film: Tarzan of the Apes. Sir Rhosis (talk) 17:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, I've added it to the film box, and also corrected the preceded by/followed by links in Tarzan and the Lost City and Tarzan to take it into account. BPK (talk) 18:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
