[net.startrek] Another Star Trek goof

burton@inuxe.UUCP (06/21/83)

There was an interesting error which occurred in the episode
with the Children of Ba'al (you know, the one with the big
demon idol which controlled the entire planet's ecology?).
You remember that all the 'children of Ba'al' were dressed in
skimpy white outfits and had white hair (obviously wigs). Well,
when Ba'al ordered them to kill the Enterprise landing party,
and a fight ensued, there was a scene in which Kirk decks one
of the men, knocking him down. Because the scene was shot from
above, you see Kirk hit this guy, which knocks him down such
that his head goes out of sight off the bottom of the screen.
If you watch carefully, the guy attempts to sit back up just
before the scene cuts away, and he is no longer wearing his
wig! Yep, you see his head go off the bottom of the screen
with white hair, and when it comes back on (only for a second)
it has black hair. Not a physics error, but an interesting
editing error.

		Obviously watched this Star Trek episode
		too many times,
