Fans Never Noticed These Things About Star Trek 

True fans notice every little thing about Star Trek.

I was old enough to remember the original series. I was 5 years old when it first came out. Then when it came out again in syndication I watched it all over again and have been a fan ever since.

It's not De SULU Productions It's Desi-Lu after Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. If you're going to talk about Star Trek history, know you history.

Your robovoice needs to learn how to pronounce Desilu.

It's Desilu not "de-sulu". Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball created Desilu. You also have other incorrect "facts" in your video.

The original number One was Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was an American actress and producer. She was best known for her roles as various characters in the Star Trek franchise: Nurse Christine Chapel, Number One, Lwaxana Troi, and the voice of most onboard computer interfaces throughout the series

Fans have noticed everything about Star Trek. Please don't project your ignorance on to fans of the show. You're the one showing up to the party empty-handed.

The kiss is in PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN, not A PRIVATE LITTLE WAR.

Did you ever notice that Scotty's right middle finger had been shot off at Juno Beach on D-Day? A nervous sentry opened up on him with a .303 Bren machine gun. He was hit six times. BEAM ME OUT OF HERE!

Desilu used to buy locally for costumes, bolts of red yellow and blue fabrics were purchased from Orbachs department store, some of the gowns were from I.Magnin & Joseph Margin department store- the white and blue dress the romulan commander wore in the enterprise incident was from liberty house department store the fur mini dress in the conscience of the king was a full fur bought from I.Magnin and designed by William Ware Theiss. Desilu also bought most of the costumes for I love Lucy from Orbacks as well

Yeoman Janice was my favorite ❤❤❤

Lost me at De-Sulu.

Shatter and Nemoy played off each other very well.

DeForest Kelly wasn't the first Chief Surgeon on the Enterprise, he replaced actor Paul Fix in the series!!!!!

Difficult to watch since the pictures shown have nothing to do with the narration, except that they are from some series in the Star Trek franchise.

I was 9 or 10 when Star Trek came out. As a Trekie, I knew almost every item you mentioned. No surprises. Better luck next time with a video of 'surprises.'

Why does he show a picture of Patrick Steward when he says William Shatner?

1:37 - As Roddenberry said (paraphrased) on record, *"I kept the alien and married the girl. It worked out better that way."* 3:57 - Harlan Ellison's script HAD TO BE rewritten! In his story, there was a drug pusher in the crew! Imagine that. And a random crewman ODed and jumped back in time, not McCoy. In the end *SPOILER* it was Spock who stopped Kirk from saving Edith. The rewrite gave us a much more emotional sacrifice.😱😢

What a handsome man William Shattner was. He is also very funny in real life.

I doubt there was a local "sweatshop" near the studio and it was more of a cottage industry for producers looking to cut budgets. Likely those who'd worked in the industry at one time.

At 5:06, that's Susan Sackett on set of TMP as "uncredited crewmember" talking to Spock. Rodenberry reportedly had an ongoing affair with her during his marriage to Barrett

Fans actually knew many of these things before this video was publishe.d

Even without the makeup spoke had the right anatomical features to play the part.

You also left out the importance of the letter writing campaign spearheaded by Bjo and John Trimble when they wanted to cancel the series after the second season. Prior to that time, there had been no other TV series that had been saved by the fans. This has gone on to be a Star Trek legacy, as evidenced by the salvaging of the animated series, Prodigy, and that series has been picked up by Netflix.

I’m a big fan of Star Trek…Always will be. Ever since it first aired on TV, I have been interested in space and space exploration, wondering if something like this could actually be possible. As it is now, there is NO WAY for that to happen, humanity is lacking in the qualities it takes to survive such a venture. So what’s left is left to the imagination, hope and dreams of a future where people can actually get along without having a war monger society or where everyones hatred towards fighting against each other is left far behind in the past. Our society needs to grow up if it ever wants to accomplish anything, and that includes taking better care of this planet…if it wants to explore the universe. This is so much far more important than what our society is currently doing today. How can anyone think about going elsewhere when all they do is continuously contribute their contamination and destruction of habitats, messing up this planet with its garbage, chemicals and corruptive processes and selfish behaviors with their own planet’s resources and ecosystems? This is on a genocidal level, whether going to another planet, or eventually bringing something back from the another planet, which causes further damages to our ecosystems and water resources. Life in space is quite complex and quite unlike what our planet is capable of sustaining…all the life as we know it, upon it. Example: how many species on our planet are living everywhere upon it? Unless in a zoo, these specific species occupy only certain areas where they can survive and thrive….Koalas indigenous to Australia….Panda species basically in China….Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos, Gazelles, etc. basically Africa….Anteaters and other species are in South America…. Komodo dragons are located on certain islands without people’s population on them. This goes for all birds and insects, including various types of plants which have a distinctive existence nowhere else than the habitats they occupied for eons. Marine species also have various places they exist and like all others, only occasionally will something happen to include a new species unknown from those already found. The point is…humanity doesn’t handle this problem let alone trying to solve something like spaceship problems or space travel issues. Society is a baby playing with dangerous toys it knows NOTHING ABOUT. FIRST…It needs the knowledge and the wisdom to understand the hidden dangers and consequences of its own actions upon the planet it calls home. SECOND…. It needs to correct its mistakes and behaviors before making any decisions or changes in its policies for future space exploration. THIRD… It needs to address the real reasons for going elsewhere in space. From what I’ve seen so far, it is NOT for knowledge, but the real reasons are those for greed and selfish, egotistical values and politics, motives for personal gains and power. One sided motives will NEVER work in space travel scenarios. It will fail and be doomed from the very beginning. 🖖

"Spock seemed satanic . . ." which they even used in an episode 'The Omega Glory'.

This needed a different voice over person.

Spock WAS perfect in that roll. He did not look demonic... I am also sure that he had more fans than Cptn. Kirk. Although Kirk.... kissed fantastically! By the way, I was looking up info. on those two. They had birthdays VERY close to one another.... A matter of days really.. SAME year also. Both were Jewish. I enjoyed reading about Nimoy....and his life growing up, and at his home, with his Jewish family... "FASCINATING"... Shatner never mentioned his upbringing, that I know of. I would like to know how he was brought up.

3:35 City in the Edge of Forever was not rewritten by Roddenberry. It was ultimatelly rewritten by D.C. Fontana as the original script was thought unfilmable.

De-Sulu? Desilu! Ok, this is bogus.

It was what it was.Thank Lucy Ball for letting them make the show at her studio.And i would like to point out that Alfred Hitchcoks show monologues were at times as provocative.

So, the studio was Desilu, this is short for Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball. So it's pronounced Dez-ee-lou.

Its a miracle StarTrek ever aired at all...considering all the "taboo" subjects they covered..i.e. ( the us of an interracial crew..the interracial kiss....the scantily clad women..and the use of violence.( shooting people with lasers and the variousfight scenes was not what people were used to...also the Science fiction genre was not a popular subject to air on t.v. back in the sixties... Thank goodnes they got three years of production in before it was shut down.. Kudo to Mr. Roddenberry for his tenacity to press on... It changed t.v. forever... Thank you .. ❤ 👽...

Some of the content and the concepts of the show are still ahead of its time.

At 2:20 seconds that scene was from Plato's Stepchildren, not a Private Little War

I'm surprised yeoman Rand's hairstyle didn't catch on.

Some of the common household twinklets are often overlooked in TOS. This list include recycled coffee cup lids, jelly beans, and altered sets. Check them out. 😅

Love the show

Despite the controversies, Star Trek's enduring legacy speaks to its cultural significance and enduring appeal.

It's long time common knowledge that Shatner was a bit of a Prima Donna.

De Sulu ....... I didn't know Mr. Sulu manned the helm and produced the show.

Incorrect aspect ratios are all over the place in this video

Drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic drinks is not logical.

Yes, it was Desi Lu, after Desi and Lucy Arnez (or later Ball).

Since these things were behind the scenes, and non-show events, how could a fan notice? I thought maybe the video would be about things I could have noticed but missed. Things such as royalties paid to a composer are not what I was expecting.

I was wondering if "Star Trek" started out in black and white or color.

Why in a video about incorrect facts and things, do we still get pictures that have been flipped, for some unknown reason.

Spock wasn't everyone's favorite..Whatever Mr.Shatner is real life he a space age sea dog on his way to his next big adventure. He supplied the real energy and everyone else reacted.

So many inaccuracies in this. Thumbs down.

The rest as they say is history 😊

The greatest anger I ever experienced as a child (or one of the greatest anyway) was when Star Trek was cancelled to cover a Gemini launch. Sort of ironic I suppose to react in such a way to having a piece of science fiction delayed in order to cover some actual science. For those who do not remember the time before cable, we only had three channels plus PBS and if there was a manned launch it was covered on all three networks. Not sure about PBS, it rarely had anything worth watching.

Your facts are uncoordinated:

Network executives were idiots that couldn't see a billion dollar franchise sitting right there in front of them. We can only imagine the episodes they would've produced if allowed to continue with a better budget.

Desulu Studios???? You mean DESI LU Studies a combination of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball.

So what if Gene had extramarital affairs? Heck, that was years ago!

What always puzzled me about Star Trek was that I never saw any toilets (restrooms) on the Enterprise. What exactly did crew members do when they needed to relieve themselves? This problem intrigued me for years, until 1979, when I availed myself of the lavatory in the library at Cardiff University. There was graffiti on the toilet wall that stated: 'Captain's Log, star date 23031979: beamed down for a shit'. Problem solved!: they defecated on the nearest planet. There was even a postscript to the graffiti: Checkov had added: 'Captain, shall ve use da bog paper to vipe out de klingons?'

Oh dear STILL not getting your facts right. For goodness sake do some proper research.

If you'd like to read the Harlan Ellison original script for The City On The Edge Of Forever, see if you can find the book [paperback] Six Science Fiction Plays edited by Roger Elwood.

@ 0:23 "inelectually intriguing narratives"?

"Fans Never Noticed These Things about Star Trek" (Maybe fans born after 2020) because we TRUE fans already knew all of this and then some..... 8 minutes you should skip....

Man, your voice is kind of unique.

This video seems to be narrated by AI, hence the Desilu mispronunciation.

Mentions "A Private Little War" while showing a still from "Plato's Stepchildren"... really?!?

bizarre ending to your video...

Why are you making the comment about Spock's saying to Janice Rand about evil Kirks attraction? It was episode in a TV show. It was written in the script. Whether he approved it or not he had to say what was written. Back in the sixties was a time when sexual innuendos weren't taken as seriously as now. People today have got to quit judging things from past by today standards, they were different then. Oh, don't call me a male chauvinist, I happen to be female & proud of it.

Shatner did explain he had a big charity event scheduled for that day of Nimoy's funeral that would have destroyed the event if he cancelled. Certainly was a believable story. In the final year of Nimoy's life he didn't want his son to watch him die although allowed him to visit in the final days. I think that makes sense more than a sudden division between the two. I met Leonard Nimoy in 2010. I was so star struck I could barely look at him and only spoke about Shatner returning to Star Trek, not Nimoy at all. He was very kind and didn't treat me like many would, negatively or put off. I believe kindness was the reason for the separation between these good friends. In contrast I also met the actor Malcolm McDowell that murdered the Kirk character by saying Shatner should be returned to Star Trek. He looked at me like I was some sort of freaky fan that believed his character was really his personality. Well, it was true but why does he almost always take roles of the villain like in Clock Work Orange? He didn't like me because I didn't want to talk about him I would say. Met Brent Spiner and said the same thing also complaining about Data being killed off. He played right up to me saying," Ya they are killing us all off". I later read Spiner wrote and put a great deal into the movie Nemesis of when Data was killed off. It was his idea basically. He was still very nice to me, the poor fool I was.

I saw the 1st episode

drivel

The studio name is NOT "de Sulu". My god. It is pronounced, [deh zee] (as in Desi Arnez). [lou] as in Lucille Balle

George's Run is a wonderful new book on Star Trek and many related subjects, primarily The Twilight Zone. I highly recommend you check it out. I'm a Star Trek expert, at least to some extent. Always something new to learn, I'm sure. This is a great video!

Google Lucille (LUCY) Ball & Star Trek - she saved the series - surprised it's not mentioned in the video.

what is mad is that Eddie Paskey gets ZERO mention? he did 60 episodes. Sulu 52, Chekov 32. i'm not sure how they count it? films and tv cartoon. but Eddie Paskey is INVISIBLE? i recognize him. and can't remember a big scene with him. Sulu and chekov had almost extras roles? Yeoman rand had 8 appearances. we tend to think they are in almost every episode?

Yeoman Janice Rand Till this day you have been and always will be remembered in a special way just a few reasons why I thought there was no power in the galley I grabbed a hand phaser and zap hot coffee You always look great in uniform I hope it's ok to say this I very much like the scene where you are adjusting the trycorder strap on your left shoulder your smile that happy look you would have , the way you talk I never did just watch Star Trek .

WTF are you mixing different generations of the series (?)

DeSULU Studios? Combine all sorts of mis-pronounciations like that with the total lack of awareness of Aspect Ratio changes and what we have here is just schlock.

Whats at 5:04??? Interesting!

video is an excuse to monologue...

"sabatage by NBC" I don't say sabotage

It’s videos such as this which are a complete waste of space on RU-vid. It assumes viewers are not observant, it suggests the video is about STAR TREK, then shows clips which are not from STAR TREK, and everyone who starts to watch this will see straightaway that it’s unwatchable due to DISTORTION by being presented in the wrong aspect ratio.

Desilu

The video footage that is not Star Trek is out of place.

According Herb S. one of the Executive Producers, NBC never objected to Number One being a woman. They objected to Majel Barrett playing the part because one they didn't think she go enough in the role and two they knew Gene was having affair with her and at that time didn't want it to apart of the cast. Gene told people NBC didn't want a woman in the role instead of wanting to tell the truth. Later he re-cast Majel to be nurse Chapel with a blonde wig thinking the execs wouldn't recognize her. But really by that time the execs didn't care because they knew the show wasn't going to last much longer on air. Funny.

I wonder if that scene with Sulu and Uhuru is as close George Takeii ever came to a woman. He looks uncomfortable in it. LOL.

Self-contradictory half truths, gossip and outright misinformation

DE-SULU Studios @ 3:03? Really? REALLY? Get narration that knows how to pronounce names correctly!

Old stuff here...nothing new.

So much here that is incorrect foisted on the unknowing. Please don't take any of this as fact.

"De-Sulu Studios"? Stupid robot.

Poorly put together + multiple errors = AI crap.

❤ ❤ 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤

Unwatchable for lots of reasons but, fucking up the aspect ratio of the video is sin number one.

Dezzy loo

The voice of the narrator is far to raspy. Annoying. Only watched a few minutes.

SO MUCH B.S. ON THE INTERNET . SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE COMES UP WITH THESE : "SCENE THAT ENDED IT ALL!" NEED TO KNOW YOUR SOURCE TO VARIFY SUCH INFORMATION.

The inter racial kiss happens in platos children and not a private little war . You aren't very familiar with the episodes

I love Shatner, but he was a jerk.

Interesting though not very informative video. Next time at least make some effort to choreograph your narration with the run of still-zooms. Poor job altogether. Did the creators of this ever watch Star Trek, TOS? Somehow I doubt it.

I'm sorry, but these poorly scripted, ineptly narrated videos make me appreciate Trek Culture SO much more. This idiotic narration hasn't seen an ounce of grammar editing and it makes me want to remove my eardrums.

Imagine trusting your life in a star ship not built for quality but for diversity inclusion equity rules.🚀🛸

for f****s sake. Want a video determined to bore you and never show "things fans never notice"? This is for you.
