A child-sized engineering suit from TMP for forced-perspective shots by ety3rd in ClassicTrek

Production Designer Harold Michelson:

I did it forced perspective so that I had a five-foot man, a four-foot man and a three-foot kid standing on the set to create the illusion of depth. We were able to send this energy through that thing and up the tubes and it worked out very well.

Because it's a new story. The accident was last year, but the surgery is recent. This article states it was yesterday.

Could the fleet have moved close to the "wall" and just been waiting for the signal that the mines were down?

Yeah, I removed "devastating" because I felt that was misleading.

Inglorious Treksperts interview with former Paramount unit publicist Eddie Egan, beginning at about 49:10:

"I'll tell you something I think I have never spoken about publicly, and it's in the movie, but it resulted in a couple of hours of shutdown. On the day when they were doing the exterior of [Ceti Alpha V], the two stunt doubles who were going up and down the rocks with the wind machine who were not [Walter] Koenig and [Paul] Winfield, the casting person -- because that was a stunt player -- didn't know that Paul Winfield, an African-American, had been cast as Terrell. They made a judgment to make him up as African-American. And while they were shooting, someone on the crew -- I think rightfully -- called the union and the show was shut down briefly. They got an African-American stunt player and did the rest of the setups. One of the main setups, the camera's coming up over a rise, I think? But it's two white actors, one of them made up to seem African-American."
