Star-Trek 'Gadgets'

[marinyork]

'Star Trek' (1966 - 1969) pre-dates the film '2001 A Space Odyssey' (1968).

Yes and no.

Star trek wasn't aired in the UK till 1969 a widely known fact that leads to a lot of confusion on topics like this.

Maybe so, but my point was in relation to this from PK99,

It goes back further than Star Trek. Samsung won a patent case against Apple by arguing that the Tablet form was first shown in 2001 space oddesey.

I doubt if Samsung were basing their case on when Star Trek or Space Odyssey were aired in the UK

To be fair, the ones shown in Odyssey were much more like the modern tablets we know today, although it must be said that Star Trek did indeed use tablets too.

On a, presumably gadget filled series, I'm eagerly awaiting this!
Seemingly complete with added 'Seven'

Well, Rom, was Quarks brother, & a bar-tender/waiter in his bar on DS9

Actually, that picture is from the short lived Canadian Dr Who rip off.

To avoid being sued by the BBC, the time ship was called the TURDIS.

Time Und Relative Dinners In Space!

I can't remember which one it was, but there was a Philip K Dick story in which the protagonists find an alien artefact. They find it has a number of very useful functions. Unfortunately, the last was a nuclear self-explosive.

A five year mission and not a toilet to be seen

If you have transporter technology that can move people from orbit to a planet, it's quite easy for it to transport the content of your bowels or bladder. You wouldn't even have to visit a transporter booth, it could lock onto the signal from your comms badge.

Did William Shatner have a role in that as well?

They did originally film the toilets, but the doors kept going whoosh mid meditation, too embrassing to show on TV, but watch the out takes video if you get a chance.

Yes, he was the the Doctor...of gastroentology.
