And now I'm here.
I firmly believe Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was an outstanding ST:TOS third season episode.

Star Trek TOS blooper!
In "The Corbomite Manuever," after Balok has given the Enterprise crew 10 Earth minutes to make peace with their deities McCoy enters the bridge wearing a standard uniform tunic. Then, in close-ups, he's wearing his medic tunic. Then when Bailey freaks out McCoy is back in his standard uniform.

@Still_Nimmy@starbase80.wtf @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Eeveecraft@dragonscave.space I've been considering moving from mastodon.social for awhile, I just never could figure out out which server to switch to. I guess I should start looking more seriously now.

@anachrocomputer@mastodon.social I wish I had thought of this years ago. I'm now adding compasses to my next shopping list.
According to "The Changeling," Nomad's weapon packed the punch of 90 photon torpedoes and reduced Enterprise shield power by 20%. The shields could withstand 3 more attacks and the 4th would "shatter" them.
So the Enterprise could take 360 torpedo hits before the shields were weakened to the point of failing. Somewhere between 360 and 400 torpedos would take them down.
I don't think the shields were ever this powerful in other episodes.
RPN FTW!

I am serious about playing Star Fleet Battles. Apparently Amarillo Design Bureau produces the game now. Anyone know anything about them?

@Phangurl@vmst.io @startrekgifs@friendsofdesoto.social I kinda wish it had been a first or second season episode. It is a creepy image.
