[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I think I mentioned this in another thread, but given that the phasers in "Balance of Terror" acted like torpedoes, I've always wondered if there was some confusion somewhere along the script development stage. Like, they handed some version of the story over to the FX people and it read "The Enterprise shoots futuristic space torpedoes, hoping to catch the Romulan ship within the blast radius," and it was later when they were sitting around thinking "What are we going to call their weapons anyway?" that 'phaser' was introduced and inserted into the script without maybe much thought about what it would look like. And then further down the road the phaser guy writes one with beam weapons and people were like "Dude, I thought phasers were the torpedoes?" I don't know. When does the word phaser first get applied to the sidearms? [/QB][/QUOTE]
