The Nitpicker's Guide for Classic Trekkers - (Nitpicker's Guides) by Phil Farrand (Paperback)

About the Book

A companion to the bestselling Nitpicker's Guide for Next Generation Trekkers, this fun and fascinating unauthorized book of bloopers and goof-ups covers all 79 episodes of the original Star Trek series as well as the first six movies.

Book Synopsis

Six feature films, the wildly successful television spin-off Star Trek: The Next Generation, endless reruns, videotapes, conventions, a line of best-selling novels, and William Shatner's New York Times best-seller Star Trek Memories have kept the Star Trek spirit alive and well, even 25 years after its cancellation. Now this must-have book for all Trekkers -- which covers every episode of the original series, the pilot, and all six movies -- reveals all the bloopers, continuity errors, plot oversights, equipment malfunctions, and goof-ups that discerning, die-hard fans love to spot, but may have missed. Written especially for all those who find themselves thinking, "Hey, if the transporter is broken, why don't they just use a shuttlecraft?", this nitpicky volume includes Kirk's toupee watch; an examination of the logic of the miniskirted female crew members; number of times Kirk violated the Prime Detective and lots of trivia questions, fun facts, quizzes, and more. Live long and nitpick.
