I would like to dispute the neutrality of this article. "Overdubbed"? Really? 98.221.86.124 (talk) 00:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, yes, really, "overdubbed." It is a technical term meaning that a sound (more often than not a voice, as in this case) is dubbed over the one that was recorded during filming. Child actor Clint Howard's voice was deemed inappropriate for his character, a mature specimen of his extra-terrestrial species, so Walker Edmiston was hired to provide an alternative. That's all it means. Don't know where you're coming from. --Tbrittreid (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think he misunderstood the meaning of overdubbed (or was/is pulling our leg). He took overdubbed as an editorial comment (i.e., the episode contains too much dubbing.) --Just1thing (talk) 04:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to be more technically correct you'd say: Voiceover added in post with ADR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.149.244 (talk) 11:24, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Upon meeting the sphere vessel, Kirk introduces the Enterprise as being a "United Earth ship" vessel. Later it is a "Federation" vessel. Either very rapid political change, or a blooper. Considering the crudity of the "rocking corridor" set (fire service fittings on the wall?), and the repetition of the "seek out" mantra to the senior officers, it really does look like a first episode. Another script oddity :

• Spock : "it must be over a mile in diameter" ; Bailey : "it's over five thousand metres away"

Someone who asserts to be a liver disease reverted this as 'personal opinion. ". They also assert to be a trekky of some water, in which case no doubt they gave a bucket full of scripts and can verify this. Or the interesting thing would be if their bucket of scripts disagrees with what I heard on the new wonderful digitally remastered version yesterday. Regardless, if that I'd how trekkies respond to non trekkies, I'm glad this I'd my last contribution to trekky-dom.

I suspect they didn't realize you were editing the Talk page rather than the article page proper, where this wouldn't belong without proper citations. Why not assume good faith? DonIago (talk) 15:21, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't need the hassle. It's easier to not edit Wikipedia errors than put up with that sort of bullshit. I remember when I was on the Nupedia mailing list and exactly this sort of thing was predicted concerning the then nascent Wikipedia project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A Karley (talk • contribs) 17:39, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
