Corrections:

Bruce Maddox was played by Brian Brophy in Next Generation and by John Ales in Picard.I mistakenly said that the soft lighting treatment that Kirk's love interests receive in The Original Series is due to "gel lighting" (I meant to say, "gel lights.") This is incorrect. Gel lights provided the striking and colorful lighting used in The Original Series. But the soft focus that female love interests get was achieved with "thin layers of plastic, or diffusion filters,"  "placed before the lens for those shots." "No, as far as we know, Vaseline was not smeared on the lens. The technique came to be known as "The Gaussian Girl," named for the Gaussian blur." (Learn more here: https://www.metv.com/stories/ever-wonder-why-the-women-on-star-trek-appear-out-of-focus)The episode I mentioned where Scotty is on trial for murder is called "Wolf in the Fold" (TOS 2:14).The episode Ben mentioned, where the Doctor's holonovel is published without his permission is called "Author, Author" (VOY 7:20).Vulcans were referred to as Vulcanians as well in the first season of Star Trek. The terms were used interchangeably, until the simpler "Vulcan" won out. "Vulcanian" was heard in five episodes of The Original Series: "Mudd's Women," "Court Martial," "A Taste of Armageddon," "This Side of Paradise," and "Errand of Mercy."Leonard Nimoy was the only actor to star in all 80 episodes of The Original Series, including the first, unaired pilot, “The Cage.” William Shatner starred in all 79 episodes of the original series that aired on TV. “The Cage,” the first Star Trek pilot made, starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike and had a different bridge crew, with the exception of Spock.
