[net.startrek] Those little cassettes to order food

weutil@ih1ap.UUCP (David Pope) (08/08/84)

[]
	I'm surprised that nobody has recalled the episode where
the enterprise rescues a group of children who's parents have been
mysteriously wiped out. The Episode name eludes me, but while on
the Enterprise the children are offered ice cream by Nurse Chapel
who is wielding a fistfull of 'cassettes'. One child reels off his
concocted delight and the Nurse selects a cassette, but when the 
kid adds an ingredient, the Nurse grabs a different cassette. The
cassettes are colored, striped, etc for uniqueness, therefore a very
cumbersome system is implied. If I decide at the last minute to add
a salad, i have to run back to my billet for a modified cassette.

The original article does mention that episode

>> 2) The episode where the kids get ice cream.


Now for my comments --

	I remember that episode distinctly, it was what prompted me to
ask about those cards.  In that episode (someone save us and tell us the name),
Nurse Chapel DOES change cassettes when the kids change their minds

			BUT  !!!!

There were five kids and six cassettes and by the time she got to the last kid,
she (I think it was a girl) changed her mind and Nurse Chapel switched to the
last cassette.  Now you can't tell me that she had just the right cassettes
(plus one) with her !!!!

The title of the episode with the fake angel, the kids, and so forth,
was ``And the Children Shall Lead''.
