    Little TOS intercom infos I've noted:

     

    In "Space Seed" Khan tapped the Enterprise intercom system and was listening to the chatter from Engineering. Tapping's not a normal function, so I suppose it really doesn't count, but it was interesting that PM intercoms were listenable on a single channel. Of course, most everyone was knocked out w/ nerve gas, so it would probably be more confusing normally.

     

    After almost every battle you hear continuous chatter over communications. I suppose one of Comm's jobs is sorting out all the messages, though I believe other stations around the bridge were recieving messages as well.

     

    Jorahl pointed out the "Balance of Terror" incident, were Kirk tries PM to phasers, and then goes shipwide when they don't reply.

     

    I've also seen Kirk push different buttons on his chair to get different sections on comm. E.G., engineering, security, sickbay. This also applies to personal screens in quarters. One button always asnswers.

    March 22nd is International Talk Like William Shatner Day!

     

    1) Pronounce all your A's flat. (Note how he says "sabotage".)

    2) Pronounce "you" as "eww". (That's because he's talking about you, not him.)

    3) Act like you are the most incredibly important person in the world.

    4) Start the first few words in your sentence, then say the rest of the sentence really fast.

    5) Pause - your sentences - in the strangest places.

    6) Inhale at the end of your sentences. This makes it sound like you're about to say the most profoundly phenomenal thing, but you decided to leave it at a cliffhanger.

    7) Make little karate chop motions with your hands at times, sometimes before you say anything.

    8) Sometimes repeat words.

    Okay, I looked up statistics and the facts are that:

     

    1) Redshirts die LESS than blue and yellow shirts in season 1.

    2) Redshirt deaths spiked into slaughter in season 2.

    3) Redshirts were EXCLUSIVELY massacred in season 3.

    4) Redshirts tend to die in groups.

    5) Redshirts tend to die if there is a fight.

    6) Redshirt fatalities drop if Kirk gets a girl.

    7) Redshirts die more on landing parties than onboard.

     

    So, I suppose it'll be safer if the Enterprise visited peaceful, women-dominated cultures by bringing them onboard.

    Okay, downloaded the hour-long episode and dug the ten minutes of redshirt meat out of it. Sum of it is:

     

    42% Redshirts die onboard due to some "alien" attack or whatnot.

    Over 60% Redshirts die because they went on a landing party with Captain Kirk.

     

    Redshirt deathrates drop to 16% when Captain Kirk meets an alien woman.

    Redshirt deathrates drop to 0% when the alien woman is green.

    Eyes tend to be rather large in anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head.
