- Of course you’ll find Lucy here- the Godmother of Star Trek!
- The ‘magic’ corridor
- Ever notice the diagonal shadows you’d see throughout the ship? They were created by this ‘snowflake’ disc with colored spotlights beamed through it (seen in The Naked Time and Space Seed) Fun Fact: they represented sky lights!
