VOY Medical tool = Dr. Who sonic skrewdriver

[thegreatgalling]

I know Voyager isn't the most popular topic in the known world, but I have enjoyed a recent marathon. Here is something I thought was interesting. The Doctor uses the following tool often throughout the series:

Does the main part look familiar?

A gentle nod, or blatant plagarism ?
Excelent find , 10/10 for observational vocation.

 

[Chronos]

Wow, how about that? Good eye!

Yup, they also used two TOS Phaser "ten turn" knobs on the side of the piece. There was another prop from Voyager that used a TOS Phaser "nozzle". I'll see if I can find the picture from the IAW auction.

The doctor uses something that looks like what the Doctor uses. Funny.

Hey SurferGeek, I actually posted about it in a different thread. It's a medical scanner that I am actually scratchbuilding at the moment!

EDIT: And YOU posted about it on another forum two years ago! (Found it tonight when looking for some other pics, ha!

I still havn't found the right shaped cone and it looks like my tube was a tad big. I will prob just have to settle for the inaccuracies since its just a "filler" for my VOY medkit.

Yup... at Propfixs. I think the first prop you posted was in that same thread.

Your scratch build is looking great!

Agree - great find and I go for the gentle nod. Wasn't there a computer screen in TNG season 1 that featured the names of Harntel-McCoy as someone's ancestoers?

Well I def. know that most of the cargo inventory labels had some funny references in the small print including the lyrics to Gilligan's Island.

TNG was loaded with little in-jokes, subtle visual gags and nods to this or that. Here's a list of some of them, including the Doctor Who names shown in the link above.

Damn good find!

Now, if only we knew for certain what the sonic was built from...

Thanks - I'll check that out...

Actually that reminds me of a rumour I heard around the time of Trek's 25th anniversary - a TNG/Hitchhicker's Guide crossover... now, i wonder why they didn't make it

Cheers
