Corrections:

As promised, here’s an excellently researched piece about the prevailing and incorrect belief that Ship’s Captains get to officiate for weddings: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/fashion/weddings/a-marriage-at-sea-get-me-rewrite.htmlThe treaty between Earth and the Romulan Star Empire was not officially named in any episode of Star Trek.Tor.com’s review of “Balance of Terror,” which is mentioned in this podcast: https://www.tor.com/2009/05/21/lemgstar-treklemg-re-watch-balance-of-terror/How close is close enough to fire a space torpedo at a Romulan ship? Does anyone have the answer? I don't.As far as I can tell, the first appearance of the streaky star effect (where all the stars blur into lines streaking past the Enterprise when it goes into warp) was in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, the second Star Trek movie. Wrath of Khan came out in 1982, five years after Star Wars debuted in 1977. Which means Star Wars did it first, as far as I can tell (someone correct me if I’m wrong). In the opening credits for the Original Series, we definitely get a whooshing noise as the Enterprise zooms through space, but no streaky star effect.
