Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday…Now there’s been a lot of ‘shipping’ between Spock and Chapel, Spock and Uhura, Spock and Kirk and even Kirk and McCoy –but for a change, here’s a workplace romance between Nurse Chapel and Dr. McCoy. Yeah, I could see that; he’d be much better for her than (android) Dr. Korby!

Here’s Today’s Flashback: From December 4, 1979, a local review of George Takei’s visit to BInghamton at Broome Community College. Funny when you thing that as promotion tours go, it’s surprising how often we had Trek stars come to our little upstate haven. Why Bingamton and nearby areas? My theory is that at the time, it was still an IBM town, and Paramount had a targeted audience with all the computer geeks there!

I admit, I’m not a country music fan, and really don’t like how most of it’s been produced in the last few decades, (I’m more in to folk and bluegrass). However, I’ve always enjoyed Randy Travis’ sweet honeyed voice. So sorry the man is sick and hoping he’ll recover from his terrible heart trouble and stroke. Good luck and blessings to him and his family. Here’s ‘Forever and Ever, Amen”

Here’s today’s flashback: From December of 1979, a poster I snatched from the halls of Broome Community College to nab the signature of visiting George Takei! George was promoting the new Trek Movie, and as I recall, the college gymnasium got pretty full! I still have an old audio cassette of George’s talk somewhere, and when I find and figure out how to convert it I’ll definitely post it here. I recall George talking about director Robert Wise, and trying to recall some of the pictures Wise had directed. Being the seasoned old movie know-it-all at the tender age of 18 as I was, I remember listing them out loud to Mr. Takei, (just to help, you know!) “Sound of Music, West Side Story, The Day the Earth Stood Still…” (Man, what a wise-ass big mouth I was!) Ah well, just chalk it up to my fan girl tendencies at the time. George was as effervescent and delightful as usual, and it was a joy to see him. (love his smile!) I do remember having a camera (for once) at this particular event, but don’t know if I have the one picture I took of him signing autographs! Note how the designer of the poster clumsily (or intentionally?) added the picture of the Enterprise completely upside down!

Here’s today’s flashback: From November of 1979, a quick blurb about the Star Trek comic coming soon to our daily newspaper and an ad announcing a visit at my local community college by Mr. Sulu himself, George Takei! (I was a new student at BCC at the time, and my enthusiasm for Trek hadn’t dimmed)

Here’s today’s flashback: From November 23rd, 1979, Gene Roddenberry recalls to The New York Times the long, hard trek it took to get Star Trek to the silver screen:
Here’s today’s flashback: From November of 1979, Newspaper Ads for the Star Trek Daily Comic that would soon premiere in our local paper, and an ad for an ad in the Sunday paper to see the special color ad in the Sunday Parade insert! (Mind you, newspapers were mostly in black and white back then, so no color in the movie timetables) This was the first time I saw the poster for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and I couldn’t imagine the promise of the shiny, rainbow drenched poster! 
I came across these splendid pictures from photographer Armando Gallo on Fanpop, and they’re so well taken you can almost hear the conversation during the shoot! This was a Star Trek photocall from 2009 (hence the crew-cut). I love how Gallo’s photos totally capture Nimoy’s engaging personality,and I’m sure Mr. Nimoy was pleased with them. Enjoy, and I congratulate Mr. Gallo on these delightfully animated photos!
