that they missed the point of the thing. AND its importance to Trek.

I wasn't the poster, but the unusual phaser action was multiple beams emanating
from one phaser (I think there were three.)  Shooting rocks with a phaser was
later used in the episode "Spock's Brain," but only one beam came out of each
phaser.

It sounds familiar to something else as well: Isaac Asimov's Universe.
There is a self-appointed robot who takes care of Humanity...
Of course the robot was made by human beings... then lived - if I can say
so - to see a galactic empire rise and fall...

Those of you Asimov fans, if you still have not read the last book of the
Foundation series - not the one he was writing when he died lately - then
you can't understand what the hell I'm talking about and I'm guilty of a
HUGE spoiler...

So the reason for the spoiler warning...

As the final question at a med-school interview, a friend of mine was
asked if a certain statement meant anything to her.  It consisted of
three words which were not recognized by her as English.  The interviewer
vaguely explained it was a line from ST The Wrath of Khan that had to
do with a computer near the beginning of the movie.  It sounded latinate. 

Now worried about being "culturally ignorant of Star Trek" she would
appreciate any further information.

The commercial is for the game Trivial Pursuit, which is celebrating

   The Star Trek animated series can be seen on the Sci-Fi channel. I think
   they package it with a whole bunch of other animated stuff on Saturday
   mornings, but check your local listings for the exact time.

   I don't know if the series is available for purchase.

"The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek" should still
be available on VHS from Paramount.  I was fortunate enough to get
them on LaserDisc before they went out of print.

I think the answer is:  it fires a pulsed beam.

Personally, I think it's just good trigger control; however, you
never see Sulu's finger move.

    No, he's South African!  Of course he's Irish.  He is from
    Cork, on the southern tip of the island, and this has been
    print many times as I recall (certainly in STARLOG).  My
    best friend's fiance went to school with Meany in the 60s.

     It is true as well.  The Dublin Times and some of the local
     papers, ran open calls for THE COMMITMENTS audition.  You
     had to be a musician first, actor second, and above all,
     you had to be a Northsider (northside of Dublin, that is),
     or "you needn't apply."  That pissed a lot of people off
     and caused a scandal, but the ad was in deference to the
     same line in the fictional ad placed by Jimmy Rabbit in 
     Roddy' Doyle's novel THE COMMITMENTs (which spawned the
     film.)

     Nearly all the cast were musicians before actors, but
     Meany who was living at home for a summer, decided to
     look for a couple of local roles.  The result is 
     COMMITMENTS as well as FAR AND AWAY.
