Wideo Wednesday –Spockboy’s Latest: Sepia Trek

TOS Trek fan Spockboy has made many funny and marvelously intricate TOS video in the past and here’s his latest Sepia Trek (Episode 1)  He and his crew do a fantastic job here and re-imagines the plot of   The Search for Spock as both in the original series and as a silent movie.  It’s brilliant, as usual, and also a touching tribute for Leonard Nimoy ❤  Note the tiny details, like how the Constellation ‘Crew’ had their  insignias  all  modified to match Commodore Decker’s. and fans of the first Science Fiction movie ever made,  Melies Trip to the Moon (1902)will appreciate a particular reference… The blending of old and new footage is seamless, and just wonderful.

The whole idea of remaking Trek episodes as sepia silents opens a a universe of funny possibilities — Thanks to Spockboy (Paul) for letting me know about this, and lets hope this is the first of many ‘silent’ episodes!

Hey Kids,

Sorry I’m late today with this — busy day!  This week’s Fan Art is a lovely tribute to Leonard Nimoy by artist Paul Hanley — I like that he presented two sides of Spock, the ever so logical and the softly emotional.  I think Leonard would have loved this. Bravo Paul.  🙂

BTW, have you guys donated to Celeste Yarnall’s cancer Fund yet?

My Weekly Spock: Hey, Professor!

I’ve come across several pictures of Mr. Nimoy looking very professorial!  Must be the glasses.   I know he taught acting, and I bet he was a wonderful teacher.tumblr_ldifo7vlgG1qes00so1_500 tumblr_lxyuxzLmHB1r9wx7so1_500 tumblr_m83jvfUAp71r9wx7so1_500 tumblr_mqnltxzP0p1qj4li6o1_500 tumblr_n2h6xj4eu61qj4li6o1_500 tumblr_nkju4xkVra1qj4li6o1_1280 tumblr_ngtv4fQDBr1qj4li6o1_500 tumblr_ngtv648Vg01qj4li6o1_500

My Weekly Spock — I Was a Teenage Spock

Sorry I didn’t post much last week, kids!  Busy with work, my son being away for a school trip, Easter, and rescuing a stray cat! It has a new home now  ❤ )  But here’s this week’s Nimoy appetizer.   🙂   I came across these sweet pics of little and teenage Lennie! (The first one I Photoshopped a little since it had a huge crack across the right side).

Here’s the wonderful mystery pilot Nimoy made in 1973 — A shame it didn’t become a series, it would have been terrific!

Wideo Wednesday: A Very Rare Interview with Leonard in 1967, KGW-TV.

Still from Nimoy’s 1967 interview with KGW-TV

Prepare for a treat:  This is an extremely rare and long-thought lost interview with Leonard Nimoy in 1967 for Portland,Oregon station KGW-TV news.  Leonard talks about being Mr. Spock, and the interviewer must be entranced because she asks him questions as if the Enterprise and Spock are real!   (She likes his hair too!)

Kudos to reader John Webb for alerting me to this!

My Weekly Spock: Man of the People

Going through some files, I came across many pictures of Nimoy with fans, and these were back in the before time, you know, the 60’s and 70’s, before the expensive meet-and-greets of modern conventions.  When you think about it, there must have been thousands like these, and Leonard never forgot where his fame came from, and was always nice and generous with his time to the fans, even when it was overwhelming!   I hope I’ll find more candids like this, and if you or anyone you know has a story of photo of themselves meeting Leonard Nimoy, please join my new Facebook Group here  https://www.facebook.com/groups/833569276690890/ and you can post them there.  We have over 50 members already!

At a music store, @ 1967 or ’68. I love the sales girl’s smirk.

I believe this photo was taken at the same event, (Leonard with Sandi) from his groovy outfit!

I’m believe this is mid-70’s — note: Nimoy is wearing the famous Spock Tee shirt with “Who is Leonard Nimoy?” on it!
