From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Vic Perrin

The only source I've seen indicating that Vic Perrin dubbed the voice of The Keeper is the first edition of the Star Trek Compendium. Since the release of "The Cage", as well as other references, it has become clear that Malachi Throne's original voice work was simply altered but not replaced. --GNDN 23:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• I disagree. IMDb credits Perrin with the voiceover for the episode. Also, given the technology available in 1967, not to mention budget limitations, it would have been far easier and cheaper to hire a new actor to re-record the dialogue than filter Throne's voice through some kind of elaborate filter. Even if it were possible, it would have been cost-prohibitive. --Tombstone 00:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed the reference to Vic Perrin's credit in Part I, because The Keeper does not actually speak until Part II. --Tombstone 00:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed

I removed the whole kit 'n caboodle:

However, for "The Menagerie, Part II", the vocals were performed by Vic Perrin, who has a much higher pitched voice than Throne. When "The Cage" was first released on VHS, the film cut from "The Menagerie" was reintegrated, but only in black-and-white. In the non-color footage you hear Throne's voice, and in the color footage, you hear Perrin's. {{incite}}

Because we shouldn't be relying on IMDB. --Alan 17:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Compendium and Logic

Vic Perrin did the re-dub, and should be credited as such. Even if you discount iMDB, there's Asherman's Star Trek Compendium, not to mention simple logic. 1. Perrin was doing voices, for Star Trek, at the same time. 2. Given the time, expense, and difficulty involved in running Throne's voice through some sort of elaborate filter, your suggestion is very unlikely. Furthermore, no source has been cited that this audio processing ever actually took place.

Obviously, I am not going to engage in an editing battle. Instead I am going to ask that you objectively acknowledge the implausibility of what you are suggesting and restore the Vic Perrin re-dub credit on all pages referencing the Magistrate. Thank you. -- Tombstone 21:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
