[edit] Ruk sentence

The first sentence in the fifth paragraph seems a bit odd to me:
The enormous machine Ruk had been tending the machinery in the ruins for longer than even he could remember.
I'd like to restructure it, but I have not seen this episode and am not clear as to the correct meaning of the sentence. Upon first reading the first seven words the first time, I thought Ruk had been tending to an enourmous machine. However upon further review, I've come to the conclusion that Ruk is himself an enourmous machine that tends to other machinery. Is that right? If so, this might be re-worded like this:
The android Ruk had been tending the machinery in the ruins for longer than even he could remember.
Please advise. -- Tom 07:22, 22 Aug 2004 (CEST)

A good point; I have edited the text to clarify it. The last sentence of the previous paragraph should have described Ruk as an android (since that is the first mention of him), so I have removed the first three worlds of the sentence in question.

Wonderful. Glad to have that cleared up. -- Tom 02:00, 23 Aug 2004 (CEST)

[edit] New background note

A new background note was added:

• By contrast, Andrea's revealing costume never failed to get an enthusiastically apppreciative response whether it be stunning a noisy commisary into silence when the actress showed it off there, or when it was displayed at a SF convention and the model for it found herself having approached by a large number number of men, including Harlan Ellison, trying to secure a date from her.

Can we get a source on this? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• I wonder if the phallic appearance of the rock formation that Kirk pulls from the ceiling was intended as an inside joke?

More than one person has stated that it appears to be a large dildo.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.183.164.250 (talk • contribs) .

Um.....I don't think it was a joke.

Next time I'd probably use a smaller image, or one that was actually on this site.--31dot 11:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
