The Star Trek: The Original Series episode “The Empath” was in front of the cameras 58 years ago today. Here is a photo of a slate from that episode (left) and a screenshot (right). Note that they flopped the shot in the episode because they broke the 180-degree rule of filmmaking.

This rule states that the camera must stay on one side of an imaginary line between two interacting characters to maintain spatial continuity and correct eye lines. Flopping the shot of Lal and Thann saved the day, else it would appear as if Kirk and Lal were not looking at each other while talking
