Of note, look at the second picture of the series. They've moved the location of where that scene took place from the officer's lounge on the back of C Deck, to oneo fo the aft windows where the rec deck was supposed to be. Well, at least now the windows match more properly...

What your friend has on VHS is the 1980s "Special Longer Version" of TMP that has lots of little extra bits cut into it making a long film even longer, and introducing many continuity errors because it includes footage the director decided to scrap.
The version on DVD hasn't been seen outside of reviewers, and I don't think there's been an announcement about putting it on VHS.

Why would Sulu show Ilia how to Navigate the ship? He's the helmsman. Chekov should come over and give her a hand. If he's not too busy "taaaaaaarrrrrrrgeettttttinnnnnnngggggg asssssttttterrrrrroiiiiiddddssss".
God, did Chekov not like his seat? During TOS and the films, he managed Navigation,. assistant science-officer (for reasons that escape me), chief of security, pseudo-captain (in STV. Thank god Sybok couldn't tell motion-picture rank pins apart), and whatever he was in ST V and VI.

I personally think that new shot is beautiful and does fit perfectly on Deck 6, to one side or the other of the Recreation room. Certainly resolves an age old debate amongst Trekkies.
A release of this product in the theatres would be great!

Regarding the view from the Rec Room, Andy Probert wrote to be the other day and commented that the angle was wrong and that the room would have to be jutting 4 feet out the bottom of the saucer to get that perspective. Being that he heped design the darned ship, I guess he oughta know. LOL.
Unfortunately this is a case of fixing one continuity error and creating another, because while the only windows of that shape are on the rec deck, and the view from the lounge is roughly from that position...but the rec dec takes all 8 of the windows seen on the outside of the ship...so maybe they swap rooms into that part of the ship as neede? HAHAHA

Well, the rec deck may have been meant to take up that area of the saucer, but the set windows weren't really visible in the one shot we could possibly see them (with hundreds of extras in the way). The rec deck could therefore easily be elsewhere on that deck.
So it's really not a contnuity problem per se - other than screwing up a bunch of fandom blueprints made over the last two decades.

Since Probert's blueprints from that film do label the rec deck location, I take him at his word.
MrNeutron (by the way, I know you ), am I to understand that Robert Wise or someome else from the production team didn't consult Probert, as to how best to place the room set?

Is there any reason that the room can't be a lounge within the perimeter of the rec dec? After all, doesn't the complete rec deck take up two decks, and a much larger section of the saucer, than just that small room?

Dax, All depends upon reviewing TMP already on video. During the crew briefing, prior to Enterprise's departure, the back of the room showed the second level. It was full of crew members. Until I review this myself, I can't be certain of how many windows can be seen behind them or how I really feel about the topic.

It's been a very long time since I've seen TMP but I vaguely remember the crew briefing taking place in the cargo bay. Can anyone with the movie on video confirm (or refute) this?
