This seems to happen with a lot of shows, look at early Doctor Who: [...]
or ST:TNG Not to mention the statutory obligation to re-make "Arena."
Arena, though, was itself a remake of an old Outer Limits episode, which IIRC was based on an older pulp story...
Not necessarily a problem. There's virtually no threat to the crew in "Killer,"
VILA: A quarter of a million volts...and you're putting your hand in?
That's just *one* of the crew, and one who does know what he's doing :).
(with their budget they could either hire one or two
extras who could act or 8 who, in the main, couldn't).
My favorite is the slave auction in "Assassin," where they had about eight bidders and only one slave until Avon's unexpected arrival.
There's a few hessian-clad extras that I recall-- but yes, it does seem that the market's looking a bit thin these days :).
