- Is there trouble in finding a dead test planet in the first place, then why
bother?
Chris Wayne @ UNM

They wanted an ABSOLUTELY DEAD test planet so there'd be no complications.
I'm sure that Genesis would work on live planets, (so Spock said),
but they wanted a nice sterile one for the first test.

Ah ha! I've found them. Shortly after STII came out I wrote down my first
impressions, later they disappeared. I'm sending them over the net for
discussion and/or answering. Some of them I have forgotten the reason for
writting them down in the first place, but there might be something of interest
in this group.
- When Chekov and Terrell land on Ceti Alpha V, is that part of the "Guardian"
from the old set(CEF) that is seen on the right?
- After walking a distance to the remains of the Botany Bay, the "Guardian"
can still be seen on the right in the distance.
- Chekov not on Space Seed.
- Kirk's shuttle docks at port torpedo bay. The movie shows docking at the bay
below port torpedo.
- All that seems to be left of the Botany Bay is the cargo containers.
- The one they enter is on its side ("seat belts" on wall), but "max load" sign
is right side up.
- Kirk lives in San Francisco.
- Romulan ale of 2283(????)
- When is Kirk's birthday?
- Reliant looks like a tug, but is a light cruiser.
- Marking on wall on the left on the outside of the elevator is a "4" inside a
box above a "5" inside a box. What does that mean?
- Some of Khan's people look younger than those in (SS), but older than 15yrs.
- Is there trouble in finding a dead test planet in the first place, then why
bother?
- McCoy's expression about genisis - Spock says "your emotions will be your
undoing".
- Old style fire extinguisher on wall in back off bridge.
- When Khan came-on-screen for first time, there was no scream from Uhura or the
yeoman.
- Enterprise fired FORWARD at reliant as reliant flies over port quarter stern.
- Scotty brings Peter to the bridge after the battle.
- Uhura does not gasp when peter is brought up.
- Was there really a ship named the Kobayashi Maru?
- Talking while beaming aboard.
- Motari Nebula looks a little like V'ger.
- Spock tells McCoy (mind meld) "remember". Remember what?
- Mark IV Torp Casing/Coffin has four prop/thrust units.
