Here’s today’s flashback: From September of 1979, a flyer from Pocket Books heralding all the new Star Trek merchandise. You see, in the before time of no internet, one would be on something called ‘a mailing list’. Surprisingly, there are no flashy graphics here, just a basic list. Pocket smelled money…
The Stare
Just think of your agent
I was envious of Nichelle here…
I remember having a magazine pin-up of this exact shot, but I accidentally left it in the copier at the post office…
Your move.
Seriously what are they doing with those stage lights?
The basic stage direction for most of these shots was “Just stand dramatically and stare…” I wonder what was going through their heads while posing, and if they ever cracked up while trying to appear so serious!
It’s been a long week of Spring cleaning for me, I need a neck

Here’s today’s flashback: A planetarium program a relative sent me from Rochester – notable because Leonard Nimoy narrates one of the shows (highlighted). (With that rich voice and “alien” background, Nimoy did a lot of voice work, usually for something related to space or mystery) A mention of In Search Of… meeting Vincent Van Gogh, and a snippet mentioning how Star Trek is still popular in it’s common syndicated time-slot of 6-7p.m. (My mom hated me bringing my dinner into the living room to watch Trek (ah, the days before DVRs!)

Here’s today’s flashback (and the first from Volume III of my Trek scrapbooks). From Starlog Magazine (boy, I bought that a lot when I was young!) the latest Star Trek Report by Susan Sackett. Happenings around the Paramount lot as things wind down on the set of ST:TMP, but there’s a lot a noise on the set, from burly workmen hammering down the walls of an upstairs production company. Meanwhile, poor Persis Khambatta endured minor injuries in a car accident in Germany, and was on the mend.
If you missed it, here’s the extended interview (two parts) with J.J. Abrams on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

Having another jab at a Trek/Beatle crossover 
If you think this looks different form what I posted earlier, you’re right! I upgraded to better shading and a much better picture of Scotty!
