Star Trek: TOS question
Jul. 25th, 2010 07:00 pmI was doing an image search, and google showed me a bunch of TOS pictures in which we see them use circular slide rules. <3!
Unfortunately the page these came from was about slide rules not about Trek, so it didn't say which episode or context they were used in, and I actually haven't watched any TOS in ages, and then not even all episodes. (And in fanfic the apparently canon slide rule use seems to get fanwanked away in favor of technological progress. At least I don't think I've ever seen a TOS fanfic with slide rule use. Alas.)
But I'm sure someone on my f-list will know which episode(s?) this is. *hopeful look*
( three pictures with the slide rules of the future behind the cut )
ETA: Found! The first is from Who Mourns for Adonais, the other two from The Corbomite Maneuver. Fandom is awesome.
