A Rather Odd Tea Party

You did Know that KK was an extra one an episode in the original Startrek, Not a lot of screen time but she was there.

Oh?! Details?!

Katherine is an extra in Star Trek the Motion Picture. Where they show the crew members getting the video screen briefing on the Veg'er attack.

You don't see her face. You only see his back.

Oh, right, where they brought a lot of fans on to be the ones receiving the briefing as a thank-you. Bjo Trimble wrote,

... the ST:TMP crew shown on the rec deck was not 100% fans. Gene Roddenberry went to the Screen Extras Guild (later to be combined with the Screen Actors Guild) and asked permission to "go on the street" for some of the 400+ people on the rec deck. SEG said OK but he had to hire an equal or better number of professional Extras. And GR had to pay the fans the same rate as the real Extras. The result was a mixed bag of bored Extras and thrilled fans. Two days were planned for filming the one scene, but Mr. Wise decided that they could do it in one day if filming went late. This was fine with the actors on salary, not so good for the Extras, and certainly not for the fans. We started our day day at 5 am and ended it at near midnight.

It's nice that KK was able to participate as an extra on a Star Trek episode.

Reading over this thread, Thinking of Star Wars, I'm reminded of the idea that a fully trained Deryni would be able to take on a Jedi Knight or Sith Lord despite all the disadvantages of technology.  Technologies can be learned, and the Deryni can do more than Jedi and Sith when it comes to psionic (i.e. magic) powers.  At least, that are my thoughts on this.
