United Federation of Style: Ep 7 - City on the Edge of Forever
🕑 Added 2022-11-23 17:00:13 +0000 UTCThis week we’re concluding the United Federation of Style podcast with one of my favorite episodes, “City on the Edge of Forever,” which features some particularly unusual set decoration purely because someone in the prop department misheard their instructions. Also, Joan Collins (the mean mom from Dynasty) as a pacifist with a wonderful collection of hats, and Kirk and Spock get to live out their lumberjack roommate fantasy.
Also: Now that we've reached the end of this fun little podcast series, I've made the first episode of UFoS public, so anyone can listen to the introductory episode for free. (The other episodes will stay Patron-exclusive for now.) If you've been enjoying the show, please share with friends!
Thanks for listening to this fun podcast project – I hope you’ve been enjoying all of our silly ruminations on the fashion of the future! Live long and wear sensible shoes!

Awe. I was wondering where the new episode was. I really think this should be a YouTube series as we do need visuals.

I'm so looking forward to more of this series! And thank you for talking about one of my top 3 ST: TOS episodes. This allows me to mention my favorite ST novel, which is related to CotEoF: Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows by David R. George III. After the events of the episode, McCoy starts having weird dreams about an alternate timeline where Kirk & Spock never found him, he saved Edith Keeler, and history was changed. He tells Spock about the dreams and Spock theorizes that he is experiencing "bleed-over" from the alternate timeline that Spock recorded on his tricorder. He helps McCoy research the alternate timeline to find out what happened to his alternate self in that changed history timeline. The novel follows that alternate version of McCoy as he lives out his life in Depression-era America. Very unusual for an ST novel and highly recommended!

The Next Generation was still so dedicated to self-contained episodes that Picard almost never showed any aftereffects of being Locutis, or living an entire lifetime on a long-dead world where he had family via the time capsule mind projection.

The observation that the injector looks like modern ones (why have a lethal overdose in the hypo in the first place?), Star Trek gets that a lot- from cell phones to tablets. But the reason isn't so much Star Trek predicting the future, but kids who grew up watching Star Trek became engineers and thought "I want to make this portable phone like the one I saw on Star Trek". The inventor on the Razer flip phone admitted as much. I bet somewhere at Apple is a guy who loved Dick Tracy and pitched the Apple Watch.
