I ❤️ Star Trek, every incarnation of it. Period. Don't try to read any negativity in my posts - it's simply not there.

Kaelon III in the original ⬅️ and remastered ➡️ versions of #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". For the remastering of the episode, a CG planet with modified Earth masses was used, explaining why parts of Australia seem to be appear on the surface. Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development?

There are tribbles in Kirk's chicken sandwich and coffee in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles" and Kirk wants them off the ship!! I don't see a chicken sandwich but ginger roots, watermelon (a first!), something yellow and something green. No proper blue food cubes, it seems. 😅

Troi's office on the Enterprise-D was one of the earliest places where the large pastel wall discs were first seen (#StarTrekTNG's "Data's Day"↗️, "Sarek"↙️, "The Loss"↘️). In "Half a Life"↖️, it also appears in the bedroom of Timicin's guest quarters.

The shot of the USS Enterprise-D (the 4-foot model), that appears in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life"⬅️ when the ship fires torpedos at Praxillus was originally created for the approach of the Talarian observation craft in "Suddenly Human"➡️. It was retinted here due to the proximity to the sun.

Most of the guest in the starbase bar on Deep Space Station K-7 in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble with Tribbles", including all the Klingons and Cyrano Jones, are seen drinking a red liquid, most likely red wine. Definitely not Chateau Picard, I would guess! ;-)

Pillows (sometimes the exact same one) made from the same shiny colourful material are seen several times aboard the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG's "The Child"↖️, "The Survivors"↗️, "The Offspring"➡️, "Night Terrors"↙️, "Half a Life"↘️) but also on Rutia IV ("The High Ground"⬅️).

Betazoid oskoids, as seen in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life"⬆️ and one season earlier in "Ménage à Troi"⬇️. The replicatied ones in the former episode have some added white spots. According to the script to the latter episode, oskoids are "something yellow with purple veins."

Scotty is drinking some scotch whisky in the Deep Space Station K-7 bar in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles". Scotty really doesn't believe that "It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad." 😜 Scotch experts: what do you think about the color of the drink seen here?

In several crew quarter scenes in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life"⬅️ ↘️, the replicator back wall is covered with a non-reflective dark material, so reflections of the filming equipment would not be seen. When Lwaxana uses the replicator, however, the regular reflective black back wall is seen.↗️

Sometimes, the ready room only appears as a brief glimpse from the bridge through the open door and there's no actual filming inside the set, like here in "Skin of Evil"➡️. In those cases, the regular decoration, seen on the table next to the door ("The Naked Now"⬅️, "11001001"⬆️) is sometimes missing.

Here are a few screenshots and a set plan, showing how the senior officers' quarters set was redressed as Dr. Timicin's guest quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". As can be seen, he has an unusually large bedroom, twice the size of regular bedrooms seen on #TNG.

Chekov is drinking vodka in the K-7 bar in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble with Tribbles". This is the only time, so far, that straight vodka is seen being drunk in a #StarTrek episode or film.

In this shot in Timicin's guest quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life", the set border and some lighting equipment is visible ever so briefly at the top of the screenshot. Also see "Hi" to Michelle Forbes in her first #StarTrek role as Dr. Timicin's daughter Dara.

Here's an animation that better shows the rare occasion of a red alert indicator being visible in the crew / guest quarters, as seen in Dr. Timicin's ⬆️ and Lwaxana Troi's ⬇️ quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". I understand the original post was rather confusing. 😅

Here's a shot of the USS Enterprise-D approaching Praxillus in the original ⬆️ and remastered ⬇️ versions of #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". Notice how the flashing position lights on the back of the nacelles and the secondary hull are orange now and now longer washed out / white.

Two pieces of square pastel-y wall art are making their first appearance in the Enterprise-D crew + guest quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". When all of the space art (created by Rick Sternbach) used in season 1-4 is removed for season 5, these pastel art pieces will be seen much more often.

Early in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles", Kirk is seen drinking some opaque (alcoholic) drink in the bar on Deep Space Station K-7. Could this be an anise-flavoured alcoholic drink like outo or raki?

In #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life", some lighting and sound equipment is briefly visible when Lwaxana walks back and forth in front of the large mirror in her guest quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-D. 😅

We can see the red alert lights in Timicin's ⬆️ and Lwaxana Troi's quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life"⬇️ but the source of these lights (we usually do not see red alert flashes in crew or guest quarters) is unknown. On the bridge, sickbay or in the ready room, the red light sources are evident.

When Spock and Dr. McCoy study the Tribbles in the medical lab in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles", they are fed some unknown food (definitely not blue quadrotriticale) to see how rapidly they procreate. I wonder what this is.

When Lwaxana goes through her dresses in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life"⬅️, looking for one to wear for Dr. Timicin, some of her dresses from earlier seasons are seen: We can see the dress she arrived in ↗️ and the one she wore for Picard in "Manhunt"➡️ and the one DaiMon Tog gave her in "Ménage à Troi"↘️.

Here's a comparison of the blue quadrotriticale in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles"⬆️ and #StarTrekDS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations"⬇️. The futuristically blue grain got a lot more screentime in the #DS9 episode, even though it only appears in this one memorable shot of the Tribble bomb.

There's a curious combination of familiar objects in Dr. Timicin's quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life": ⬆️: Inside one of the bowls that held the meal worms for the alien parasites in "Consipracy"➡️ is the blue Edo ball that got Wesley into lots of trouble on Rubicun III in "Justice"⬅️ . ;-)

Before I talk about the food and drink seen in #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles", I need to point out the blue quadrotriticale seen three times in the episode. On #StarTrek (and many other sci-fi series and films), futuristic food and beverages are usually blue. I 💙 blue gummi candy! :-)
