	The "phasers coming out like photons" was a mistake.  I believe the
	episode was an early version (in their first season).  I'll try to
	find out which episode.  But, I do recall reading that it was a 
	mistake.  (After reading this book, I found that there were many 
	other interesting tidbits of trivia)

	For instance, in "Space seed" (the episode that "The wrath of Kahn" 
	was based on).  You will notice that when they open up Ricardo M.
	(Kahn) chamber that Kirk knocks his phasor off his belt and on to 
	the floor.  The interesting part comes when you watch McCoys eyes.
	You'll see him continuously look at the floor, then to Kirk, to the
	floor, ...  McCoy was waiting for the director to cut the shot so
	they could refilm it, so he was debating whether or not to pick up
	Kirks phasor.
