I think ALL the heavenly bodies must have had some Styrofoam on them, judging from what went on in the original Star Trek series.
Maybe the universe isn't populated by shiny black monoliths, as "2001" would have us believe, but by pieces of Styrofoam dropped off by alien space travellers a few millenia ago.

Speaking of movement: There is some obvious movement among the people who are supposed to be frozen in time in "Timelash." Most obvious is the woman in the red leather minidress who is standing next to a guy who's taking a long hard look at the dress, or what's in it.
I don't have a large quibble with that. I'm just surprised they didn't try to reshoot that scene. I guess the movement wasn't obvious to them.

One thing I could never get about that ep, is how some of the stuff was
frozen and other things weren't. I think they tried to explain it by saying
whatever was (or wasn't) in motion at the time of the freezing wasn't
affected. But clearly that doesn't hold up.

The chair in the air was in motion and was frozen. The stick Straker
struck it with wasn't, and thus would move.

But the smoke from the guy's cigar was frozen, yet the air it was
contained in wasn't, and obviously both would have been in motion at the
time. That means the air itself should have frozen....

With the air frozen, it would have locked everything up inside of it as
if encased in acrylic; chairs, trees, the buildings, and Straker and Lake.
They would not have been able to move, let alone even live, as the air
inside their lungs would be as a solid, they'd suffocate and be dead.

Timelash is one of my favorite episodes. I first saw it in 1974 at 3am in New Orleans. I got in trouble because I was supposed to be asleep because it was a school night. Then I did not see it for 25 yrs but I remembered the dead man in the car going around in circles. Speaking of movers and shakers. I watch CSI and sometimes they make up the actors to look really gruesome . When the camera is supposed to be on the medical examiner sometimes you can see the "dead" body move. LOL
