psquare75 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 This may have been mentioned thousands of times before, but I was watching Star Trek II with Khan. (the best IMO), And during the scene in Kirk's house, there is a very distinctly shaped PET computer with the screen sitting waiting for a command. It's visible in the blu-ray ed of the movie quite clearly. Never noticed it, and I've watched this movie dozens of times. Anyone else confirm?

erd Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 ... I was watching Star Trek II with Khan. (the best IMO), And during the scene in Kirk's house, there is a very distinctly shaped PET computer... Never noticed it, and I've watched this movie dozens of times. Anyone else confirm? Yep. I confirm. The PET makes an appearance in a number of places, even the second season of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", when Buck is in the sickbay with a fever - he uses a PET (with a cheezy 1980s video overlay) to watch events unfold in the docking bay. There's also a 12" PET in "Terminator 3" in a pile of old computers at the end of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquare75 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Huh, I have Buck Rogers on DVD but I haven't made it to season 2 yet. Kinda cool. It fit in nicely with all his other 'antiques'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Commodore PETs in Battlestar Galatica (the original), with the Commodore logo taped over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk clearly liked antiques... but that he was also a vintage computer collector makes him all the cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Red Dwarf had C= 64s as keyboards for the first season or two. They were replaced with Amiga keyboards. from http://www.richardlagendijk.nl/cip/article/item/spot_the_commodore_2 - they also have a capture of the PET in ST 2.
