The video tape of STII is out, at the unheard-of (low) price of $39.95, including a Dolby stereo soundtrack. Some comments after a close examination ... The video display in Kirk's apartment is in fact a Commodore computer. However, as one of my guests pointed out, remember that the interesting thing about that apartment was that it was full of *antiques* ... Spock's coffin did *not* have a crack in it. Six people examined this sequence frame by frame and came to this conclusion unanimously. However, it did not have a perfectly smooth surface, there were (aerodynamic?) grooves, and only on the planet's surface was there enough off-angle light to reveal them. Perhaps this is the source of the "crack" rumors (not unlike the Martian canals). -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!teklabs!tekmdp!laurir)
