About the whoosh and the music during space scenes, in The Making of Star Trek it is pointed out that ships in space should not make nois. They therefore, originally had the Enterprise fly by with no noise. This was found to be very boring so the woosh was added for dramatic effect. I believe that in Where No Man Has Gone Before there are some shots of the Enterprise flying by without the whoosh. Anyway, who says that ships in warp drive don't whoosh? They fly in a different environment than normal space. I seem to have noticed a whoosh the last time I was floating around hyperspace. Eugene Rosenthal npois!ejr I'm an engineer, not a doctor!

The first ST ever filmed was definitely The Cage starring Jeffery Hunter. I have this on the personal word of Gene Rodenberry himself when he was in NY for a Star Trek convention in the Roosevelt Hotel. In fact he showed the entire film, The Cage. It was, howver, in black and white. He said that he was in the process of building a color version. The original color copies were lost or destroyed. The bw copy was his personal property. I think the plan was to integrate the shots from the menagerie with other color pieces that remained. There are several cute scenes with the female yeoman whom Captain Pike finds a disturbing presence on the bridge and orders her no to come to the bridge unless absolutely necessary. Of course it seems that it is necessary for her to come to the bridge just at the wrong times and she is bumbing into the Captain. She also asks oike whom he would have chosen.

Don't you know the Enterprise travels in WARP space? The Fantastic Four travel in hyperspace. Next you will have Kirk and Spoc visiting subspace and the negative zone. How gross!

Star Trek is a DC title and the FF belong to Marvel. :-) -- --rick heli (... ucbvax!ucdavis!groucho!ccrrick)

And the Proteus (from `Fantastic Voyage') travels in innerspace while Buckaroo Bonzai travels in the 8th dimension! Sounds like a crisis in infinite gridlock! --- Kevin Thompson {ucbvax,ihnp4!nsc}!voder!kevin "It's a sort of threat, you see.
