in "The Man Trap," they were looking for futuristic salt shakers. Every one they found required someone to actually announce that it was a salt shaker for the audience. They went with salt shakers from the NBC commissary. The others became Dr. McCoy's operating instruments.
My favorite prop reuse is all the metal Klingon Blood Wine mugs for all the shows are real metal 1 Quart Bakers Measuring Cups you can buy at any kitchen supply, or Amazon.
In "The Naked Time" (with the shower curtain EV suits), the instrument that Spock is using to evaluate the situation the planet looks suspiciously like a Kenner "Give-A-Show Projector," a child' slide projector that was a big thing in the early 60s.
The episode Samaritan Snare has a AN/PRT-5 Emergency Transmitter from a NAVY P-3 as a prop, I used to repair and test the AN/PRT-5 in the Navy so it was very funny to see it as a prop on the Pakled ship.
I used to work at a sporting good store and recognized the baseball shirt worn by Ezra Dax for the DS9 episode Take Me Out To The Holosuite as being a Danskin womens workout shirt.
This was a fun video. I remember years ago, recognising a prop in Star Trek NG. I liked to decorate eggs N in sick bay I saw clear plastic egg stands (my favorite) stacked up on a lighted display. They were petal shaped (very futuristic)! 😊💖🖖
There was another prop that got reused for another show. In the ST-TOS episode(s) "The Menagerie", Captain Christopher Pike needs a futuristic wheelchair to get around. This prop was also used in series "Wild Wild West", which ran from 1965 to 1969.
Going the other way, a Klingon bat'leth was used in the Stargate SG-1 season 6 episode, "The Other Guys", where it hung on a wall behind an undercover Tok'ra.
Actually, Horta Eggs looks very similar to some sedimentary rocks. And because the race are made from silicon all instruments will see this eggs as strange sedimentary rocks, but rocks nonetheless.
Several Star Trek series have used commercially available Star Trek merchandise as props and set dressings on the actual show, including the Enterprise kit in "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Trouble with Tribbles," and Mirror Archer's phaser in "In a Mirror Darkly."
The 3D printers in Picard were so jarring! Fair enough to use the cases but seeing parts materialise from thin air, right next to the FDM extrusion mechanism was jarringly lazy! Head canon for the Flashforge on Mars was an engineer with a retro hobby. But the one on La Sirena... it's just plonked there with its logo covered!
Look at the video "The Most Important Device in the Universe - Blinking Tubes Without Function New Compilation (Part 1)" and you will know what I mean.
how crazy! I thought the christmas toy was a GIJOE plane, but it's literally "Aliens Space Marine Evac Fighter Vehicle by Kenner" not in the movie at all lol
on the "Alien" franchise, I believe IDW was going to do a Star Trek / ALIENS crossover comic-book series, unfortunately for some reason, it didn't go into production but there are incomplete drawings online.
It took almost 50 years, but I finally recognized one of the set dressings from the corridors in TOS: It's a coupling knuckle from a locomotive or one of it's cars, likely vacuum molded plastic as those things would be too heavy to hang from the walls.
The suit case that Admiral Quin used to hold the alian, was just a magnet lock 3 ring binder. I had one as a kid and everyone thought it was a laptop computer, but it was just a binder
ON THE CAPTURED BORG CUBE THEY HAD A FLASHFORGE FINDER!!! 3 3D PRINTER TYPES AT LEAST, not 2!! Lol i know because i had one at the time and when i saw it i sh*t myself laughing. I didn't catch the other 2 tho. Didn't occur to me
The Naked Time's red shirt is Tormolen played actor Stewart Moss. Who also played Hanar in By Any Other Name . Reman Viceroy(Ron Perlman) fights Riker.
I'm just going to give big props to the writers of this episode wow this is why I watch Trek culture. Excellent voice performance by the presenter and I just really like this stuff. Peace and be well
@@AndrewD8Red Why? They were miners, not necessarily scientists, especially biological scientists (other than whatever technical support and medical staff they had). And they had no idea that the creature attacking them was silicon-based until *after* the _Enterprise_ arrived.
@@AndrewD8Red Which isn't to say that a silicon-based lifeform from a different planet might not mistake them for something that has nothing to do with reproductive processes.
I haven't checked if anyone else pointed this out, but, the TRIBBLE has a similar and funny story about being an innocuous car/truck mirror decoration and keychain thing. But after being purchased by the truck loads, and used in the episode, "THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES", TV & MOVIE HISTORY, was forever changed.
Remember the alien bugs that took over star fleet command in TNG? That plastic case the admiral carries one in was actually a trapper keeper made by a brand called Class Act.
I was gonna say, what ship are they looking at? That funny looking toy is not a UD-4 Utility Dropship. anyway "The transmitter is on the APC it's wasted" man
I think I saw a gadget that looked like a car steering wheel lock clamp thing - a couple of feet long and probably yellow and grey. Was that in a TNG episode or one of the movies? I think Picard was holding it. It's a vague memory that might be mistaken?!
Some of the strange electronic things and components I found amongst my Dad's stuff could have been props for something - maybe more like Doctor Who than Star Trek! It's a shame I took a load of boxes with knobs and dials on to the tip. Some of them might have sold on ebay. At least I sold a few smaller ones!
Sent to the Nexus? Granted the choice was either follow Tolian Soran into the energy ribbon or get blown to atoms by the Level 12 shockwave, but being "sent" is not a way I would describe it.

Mid-century modern salt shakers made by Stelton in Denmark. They were originally wood around the bottom.
I remember reading this story in Shatner's Star Trek Memories
I think a salt shaker, or part of one, was also used for Lt. Uhuru's ear piece at the com station.
To know Short Circuit, Aliens and Buffy have connections to Star Trek warms my heart. Thanks Ellie!
I agree completely 😃
and there's a double connection with Buffy: the school principal mentioned in this video was played by...Armin Shimerman!
Based on Johnny 5's arm being used, someone clearly didn't listen to Johnny when he said, "No disassemble."
@@arbjbornk at least we know why he kept talking about the Nova class ships in Short Circuit
TOS transporter pads were the emitters above on TNG transporter.
I believe that was also the case in TMP too.
nerd
Honorable mention: a Starfleet scanning device seen in Star Trek VI that was previously Egon Spengler's "Giga Meter" in Ghostbusters II.
Wow you noticed that too!
Noticed that one immediately!
@@kagomecc461 *think that was also used in the John Carpenter film They Live as well*
My favorite prop reuse is all the metal Klingon Blood Wine mugs for all the shows are real metal 1 Quart Bakers Measuring Cups you can buy at any kitchen supply, or Amazon.
I think the Cardacian Kanard decanters are a fancy vase and the Kanard is molasses.
TOS the little scanner with the medical tricorder was actually a salt shaker from the studio commissary!
In "The Naked Time" (with the shower curtain EV suits), the instrument that Spock is using to evaluate the situation the planet looks suspiciously like a Kenner "Give-A-Show Projector," a child' slide projector that was a big thing in the early 60s.
Good job Ellie, we want more episodes with you!
You forgot about the famous "dual generators with rotating neon lights inside an acrylic tube; light-controlled panel with knobs and buttons" thingy.
The episode Samaritan Snare has a AN/PRT-5 Emergency Transmitter from a NAVY P-3 as a prop, I used to repair and test the AN/PRT-5 in the Navy so it was very funny to see it as a prop on the Pakled ship.
Did it help them go fast?
I used to work at a sporting good store and recognized the baseball shirt worn by Ezra Dax for the DS9 episode Take Me Out To The Holosuite as being a Danskin womens workout shirt.
Geordi’s visor was a hair clip.
This was a fun video. I remember years ago, recognising a prop in Star Trek NG. I liked to decorate eggs N in sick bay I saw clear plastic egg stands (my favorite) stacked up on a lighted display. They were petal shaped (very futuristic)! 😊💖🖖
I think you forgot about Skeletor's mask being repurposed for those monsters in Worf's holodeck training program.

I can find the Star Trek pics, and ones from the unrelated movie with Will Smith, but can't seem to find any from the 60's show...
Going the other way, a Klingon bat'leth was used in the Stargate SG-1 season 6 episode, "The Other Guys", where it hung on a wall behind an undercover Tok'ra.
Actually, Horta Eggs looks very similar to some sedimentary rocks. And because the race are made from silicon all instruments will see this eggs as strange sedimentary rocks, but rocks nonetheless.
McCoys „Scanning-Device“ is a salt sprinkler 🖖🏻
The skids on TOS shuttlecraft were disposable razors
@@nimblehealer199 They look similar but... in that era?
@@Pygar2 yes
8:41 "I will have order in my school!" -Principal Quark
You! See me after Graduation!
Dr. Crusher and Counselor Troi's workout clothes (yes, from "that" scene), are one piece women's swimsuits worn backwards.
Have you noticed how your boobs have started to firm up? not from that scene but i though an honourable mention was deserved
Several Star Trek series have used commercially available Star Trek merchandise as props and set dressings on the actual show, including the Enterprise kit in "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Trouble with Tribbles," and Mirror Archer's phaser in "In a Mirror Darkly."
The Doomsday Machine was a Airfield windsock
@@arielfilmsinc1926...stiffened with Spraycrete, the same goop they sprayed on the canvas rocks on the planet set.
Sounds like how Power Rangers will use officially licensed Sentai merchandise for their reshoots.

Omg yes. And the didnt even mention my fav prop. The laser thermometer from ENT.
The good old "useless machine" with four blinking lights that have no function at all.
Look at the video "The Most Important Device in the Universe - Blinking Tubes Without Function New Compilation (Part 1)" and you will know what I mean.
That line wasn't famous enough to reach me so I had no clue.
@@Skaitania you know, in the end i actually believed to see five lights
When you wonder why there is a kelvin era phaser just floating in the background 😂
Awesome addition to the team
Hearing "Buffy" described as a "classic show" makes me feel old!
It is a classic, though.
how crazy! I thought the christmas toy was a GIJOE plane, but it's literally "Aliens Space Marine Evac Fighter Vehicle by Kenner" not in the movie at all lol
Agreed, obviously not a Dropship
I always heard that the 'Oscillation Overthruster' from Buckaroo Banzai was used as a prop in Next Generation.
on the "Alien" franchise, I believe IDW was going to do a Star Trek / ALIENS crossover comic-book series, unfortunately for some reason, it didn't go into production but there are incomplete drawings online.

I think it's more likely that Quark's gun was made from the, then available, Exo Squad toy rather than an older toy.
I still have the box and what was left over for when we made the org. prop.
I remember Exo Squad, loved it
The charging alcoves for the Borg in Star Trek Voyager had a circular lightning green led light above each Borg that was a spencer gifts toy
I didn’t care for that.
The suit case that Admiral Quin used to hold the alian, was just a magnet lock 3 ring binder. I had one as a kid and everyone thought it was a laptop computer, but it was just a binder
A Trapper Keeper. I think it was reused for another episode.
ON THE CAPTURED BORG CUBE THEY HAD A FLASHFORGE FINDER!!! 3 3D PRINTER TYPES AT LEAST, not 2!! Lol i know because i had one at the time and when i saw it i sh*t myself laughing. I didn't catch the other 2 tho. Didn't occur to me
Lt. Tormorlon in "The Naked Time" was actually a blueshirt.
Wasn't he gold?
@@Proudtrekkie96 those gold shirts were actually green.
Yeah and it didn’t even rip when he stabbed himself with a butter knife
The Naked Time's red shirt is Tormolen played actor Stewart Moss. Who also played Hanar in By Any Other Name . Reman Viceroy(Ron Perlman) fights Riker.
Also the IKEA lamps on Coppelius in Picard!
Janeway's famous coffee mug was an actual coffee mug made by Thermos in the 90s. Surprising isn't it?
I have to say... Ellie's hair and makeup for this video was very nice and well done... Gives her a 40's Hollywood look...
It wasn't Shinzon who cut Rikers arm but his Reman Viceroy
Korob's robe from TOS was an old costume from Gilligan's Island.
I'm just going to give big props to the writers of this episode wow this is why I watch Trek culture. Excellent voice performance by the presenter and I just really like this stuff. Peace and be well
In an interesting reversal, a klingon disruptor meant for Star Trek Phase II ended up finding a use in Mork & Mindy as an orkan ray gun.
I always thought the red EV suit was a hazmat suit.
It was a hazmat suit.
The Horta was a silicon based lifeform so the eggs were like rocks, described by the miners as silicon nodules, so they thought they were rocks.
That always bothered me. Life on Earth is carbon-based, but nobody has ever mistaken a chicken's egg for a gemstone.
@@AndrewD8Red Why? They were miners, not necessarily scientists, especially biological scientists (other than whatever technical support and medical staff they had). And they had no idea that the creature attacking them was silicon-based until *after* the _Enterprise_ arrived.
@@AndrewD8Red Which isn't to say that a silicon-based lifeform from a different planet might not mistake them for something that has nothing to do with reproductive processes.
If anything they look like giant pearls.
Either the miners scanned them, and they weren't valuable minerals or they're morons.
@@tetravega567 I think we can go with "not morons" lol Vanderburg said they had a few trace elements in them, so someone scanned them.
Decades later people spend years trying to make replicas.
The Doctor's holoimager from Voyager was made from an Airtronics Avenger RC transmitter. It amused me greatly when I spotted it
I haven't checked if anyone else pointed this out, but, the TRIBBLE has a similar and funny story about being an innocuous car/truck mirror decoration and keychain thing.

INVID Shock Trooper! Dude, I knew it! LOL
More Ellie Littlechild please
Is this a re-upload I could have sworn I already saw this video...
Sometimes 2nd hand isn't the worst
First "Trek culture" video I've seen you in Ellie. Welcome to the family. Love this channel. You seem awesome and sure you'll fit right in. :-)
Remember the alien bugs that took over star fleet command in TNG? That plastic case the admiral carries one in was actually a trapper keeper made by a brand called Class Act.
the hypo shot on TOS was a fancy salt shaker
The shinzon knife had a lot in common with the jaffa knife from stargate which is also in star trek picard as the jad vash knife
McCoy’s handheld scanner in TOS was a salt shaker.
Don't forget the visor for Geordi. It was just a hair clip. ☺
i cant believe that i miss the buffy/nemesis knife connection
The Aliens Evac Fighter is only from the toy line; it does not appear in the film(s).
I was gonna say, what ship are they looking at? That funny looking toy is not a UD-4 Utility Dropship. anyway "The transmitter is on the APC it's wasted" man
Nearly flipped my table over when I saw MY salt and pepper shakers in Enterprise
More Ellie on TrekCulture please 😍
Robotech! That’s so cool!
I still proudly use the same Bodum tea glasses Picard had in TNG...
Ellie is phenomenal 😃
Great job Ellie! Good to see a feeeemale fronting the show!
That Aliens toy always bugged me. I recognized it the first time I saw Generations!
The device McCoy puts on Chekov’s forehead in the hospital in Star Trek IV has parts from the Klingon D7 plastic model kit.
Ellie, you're awesome 🥰 keep up the great work!
Geordis VISOR could be on this list -- though most already know (or could guess) it's origin
*Giggles* I just pulled my hair back with mine that I bought at the dollar store in the 80's. Its held up pretty well for only a buck!
I used to take my aunts and put it over my eyes when I was like 4.
There’s a Dyson hand drier in the Enterprise sick bay 2009 Star Trek.
Ever notice how much those 90s UPS sign in computers look like TOS pads?
As a Trekkie my self, I commonly refer to my 3d printer as my “replicator”
Re: "The Naked Time" Along with the shower curtain EV suits, Spock is using an actual 1950's radiation scanner.
The other shower curtain wearer is not unnamed. He is Joe Tormolen.
@@rangersmith4652 that’s what I noticed, too! And he wasn’t a red shirt either!
Yep. Seen several times throughout the series.
Are they EnVironmental suits? Or Extra Vehicular suits?
@@FirstDan2000 More like HAZMAT suits.
I think I saw a gadget that looked like a car steering wheel lock clamp thing - a couple of feet long and probably yellow and grey. Was that in a TNG episode or one of the movies? I think Picard was holding it. It's a vague memory that might be mistaken?!
The Anime series Space Cruiser Yamoto/Star blazers made between TOS and TNG had a replicator like device called the dynamic do all.
It also had a holographic training and R&R room. :) (IQ-9 dancing with the hula girls)
@@cherokee43v6 Forgot about that.
Shizon used it to injure Commander Riker? Did he now.... I'm sure that was his Viceroy....
The original Klingon belt buckles were bubble wrap cut as a parallelogram and painted gold
Shinzon didn’t injure Riker, that was Viceroy
Still have the Knife. It wasn’t the only Gil Hibbon knife used in the movie either.
I can't believe I didn't recognize it as a Hibbon. Now I can't unsee it.
That was neat. Thanks.
EV is extravehicular. In TOS it’s the silver one with red and blue bits.
I only clicked in as an obsessive Buffy fan but Ellie, how'd you do that hair!?
Fair to say tv was “less sophisticated” in the 60s, 😂 but I still remember vividly the Horta terrifying my 9 year old self!
Joe in the naked time was not a red shirt and shinzon didn't fight Riker in nemesis.
The furnace filters that weren't even disguised in Enterprise on the alien repair station in season 2
Ellie is killing it!
Red Head Ellie is making it even better.
Some of the strange electronic things and components I found amongst my Dad's stuff could have been props for something - maybe more like Doctor Who than Star Trek!
It's a shame I took a load of boxes with knobs and dials on to the tip. Some of them might have sold on ebay. At least I sold a few smaller ones!
Dyson hand dryer can be seen in Star Trek (2009)
And the Symbol 2D laser barcode scanners on the bridge...
Sent to the Nexus? Granted the choice was either follow Tolian Soran into the energy ribbon or get blown to atoms by the Level 12 shockwave, but being "sent" is not a way I would describe it.
More like pulled into the Nexus against his will?
4:42 that guy was a BLUE SHIRT...and it didn’t even tear when he starved himself with a butter knife
It's always been a little game for me to figure out the props. Like the Doctors holo-imager... a twin stick rc controller on its side.
Ellie looks like a red head peggy carter
There is a kid playing with a Veritech Robotech/Macross fighter in the DS9 2 part ep Past Tense
picards stylis in first contact is a mini gas blowtorch
The "unnamed redshirt" in "The Naked Time" turned out to have a name. Joe Tormolen.
... and a red shirt only in the figurative sense because he actually wore blue.
What if you put your hand in the replicator just as it materialises ya raktajino?
1.comm LaForge - visor( banana hair clip)
2. Worf's 2nd sash ( drink tabs)
About the Horta eggs...if they were supposed to look like rocks, why didn't they just use rocks?
Couldn’t we have included the Johnny 5 one at 5th place just so we could have had “number 5 is number 5”
I think a certain Planet Coaster TH-cam channel would agree.
