Star Trek (original)

What is a dunsel (sp?) and what is the origin of the word? Who is Herbert and who gets called this name?

[uberthrall]

Dunsel is someone/something that's obsolete. Don't remember who Herbert
originally was supposed to be,but Kirk is called Herbert by Dr.Severin and
his "space hippies".........."Carry on to Eden,yeeeaah brothers".....LOL!!
Always wanted to do a metalish version of that one!!

In 1978, my father was one of the power people that put on a Star Trek Convention in Oakland, CA. This is the same father that put on SciFi Worldcons in the 60's . It's the same father that gave himself a "Hugo" because he Could. Talk about a clash.:ROTF: Here are all these old school SciFi dudes and dudettes coming in contact with a bunch of Trekkies. It was funny as hell. I grew up in a household of REAL SciFi people. Damn. Those people were weird. It scared me straight.:ROTF:

In what episode did Kirk actually say
"Beam me up Scotty"?

FACT_On at least two occasions ("Miri" & "City on the Edge of Forever") the exterior Mayberry set from "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960) was used. In "City," as Kirk walks Edith home, they pass by the easily recognizable courthouse, Floyd's barbershop, Emmett's repair shop, and the grocery

never

What is Bones' nickname that his old girlfriend (aka saltsucking monster) calls him?

What is the element that the life form known as the horta is based on?

Who is the person that "Nomad" thinks that Kirk is and refers to him as the creator?

Also I believe that Herbert was a very strict ruler of some colony or something and the Hippie guys call spock or Kirk this name because he tries to make them follow some rules of his and they all start chanting, "Herbert, Herbert"

And yes a Dunsel is a term used by midshipmen at the starfleet academy to describe a part that has no use. Kirk is referred to as Captain Dunsel after theEnterprise wins a mock battle while being controlled by a new battle computer designed to replace human decisions in battles.

BTW, all this does not come from being some sort of Trekkie nerd. Its from years of Channel 11 reruns of the Honeymooners and Star trek every night, most of the time fairly wasted in the 80's. Good old WPIX

horta is a silicon based life form, cant remember the rest right now
