[edit] Orderly?

Star Trek Concordance lists a John Buonomo as an orderly in this ep, yet no orderly appears. Does anyone have any info on this? Could it have been the orderly appearing in "The Tholian Web"? --Myko 19:14, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT)

According to what I've heard, a scene in sickbay was filmed for the opening, but was then cut from the show. As to what John Buonomo looked like, have not seen his name anywhere else. -- 164.116.80.49

[edit] Da Vinci

Hey, who keeps removing the "Da Vinci" error info? It happens to be true-- I see no reason that someone keeps pulling it off the page! :( It is correct to call him "Leonardo da Vinci", which means "Leonardo from Vinci", but it is a gaffe to call him "da Vinci", using it as if it's his last name. You would not refer to William of Orange as " Of Orange" or to Robin of Locksley as "Of Locksley." People would not have a clue to whom you were referring! – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.68.250.128 (talk).

Tell that to the author of The da Vinci Code then. Everyone calls him da Vinci, right or wrong. It's acepted and while you are correct, you are also the lone voice in the wilderness.

The Da Vinci Code IS incorrect in using that term, and anyone with a cursory education in art history knows this. Trust me, "everyone" doesn't call him "Da Vinci" and I never heard ANYONE (in real life) call him anything but Leonardo or Leonardo Da Vinci until that book came out. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.68.250.128 (talk).

[edit] Nitpick removal

I am removing this error: "Kirk apparently broke his promise to Flint as Captain Kathryn Janeway mentioned the fact that he claimed to have met Leonardo da Vinci in VOY: "Concerning Flight". Although Spock suggested it, Kirk never promised it. The end of the episode suggest no secret was going to be made of his history. The end suggest Flint was going to come clean and use his knowledge for the good of mankind. I think the person who added this is thinking of "Metamorphosis" --TOSrules 02:12, 19 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reena or Rayna in credits

I have removed all references to Rayna's name being misspelled in the end credits as "Reena" since this was not true.

Is it not true? Can we get some confirmation from someone with the DVDs? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 04:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

"Louise Sorel as Reena"[1] --GNDN 04:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks muchly :-) --OuroborosCobra ^talk 04:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. On the VHS/LaserDisc prints, it's spelled "Rayna." See below. I've edited the comment to reflect the difference in the prints. Interesting the difference that pop up among the different prints, eh? -- <Ssosmcin>

Not to whip a rotting corpse, but I removed the credit listing of Rayna as "Reena" since this is pretty clearly a error in the episode's credits and not the actual spelling of the character's name. When the landing party discovers the covered prior versions of the android, the name tags say "Rayna." With this confirmation, and the fact that the earlier prints spell it "Rayna," it's safe to assume the prints used for the DVDs are mistaken. I have notated the error in the background info, however.

[edit] Rayna's name

"Rayna" (the perfect woman) is an anagram of "Aryan" 10:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Blooper Reels"

This page and several others frequently mention "the first season/second season/third season blooper reel" does this or shows that, but no indication is ever given of how to see these blooper reels or where people originally saw them. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.68.250.128 (talk).

My understanding is that they are routinely shown at conventions. I've seen some of them myself around the net. Check Youtube. 65.12.135.63 04:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
