My Weekly Spock – Triple Dose — 1969, 1973

Hey Kids, Sorry it’s been a while since I posted my Weekly Spock — so here’s a trio!  I love all of these and you can read about the first picture here

Another pose from the “Go!’ session. “Go!” was a half-hour show for kids shown after Saturday morning cartoons, and it highlighted adventurous occupations. Leonard’s was about The Coast Guard, and I remember watching it, not really caring about the speed boats but just watching it for Leonard! (My 12 year old heart leapt for joy!)

My Weekly Spock: At the Premiere of ST:TMP

This week marks the 35th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (and let the franchise begin!)  Here’s a rare shot of Leonard and Bill at the premiere that was held in (interestingly enough) Washington D.C.!  The tuxes really reflect their personalities; Disco Bill is in his ruffles while Suave Leonard in in his traditional, fine tailored threads.  Marcy and Sandy look sweet too!

True, the movie may have not been the best, but I’m glad they had a fun night!

My Weekly Spock: Skyping with Leonard.

Sadly, but understandably,  Mr. Nimoy doesn’t do conventions in person anymore, but isn’t it nice to know that the Trek technology has caught up with reality and now he Skypes!   Who wouldn’t want to Skype with Grandpa Leonard? Here’s some candids of him at recent events, including a shot of him enjoying his doppelganger (and trekkerscrapbook follower) Paul Spock Vegas Forest! (Hey Paul, want to do an interview? 🙂 )

Just like the old days, eh? 😀

My Weekly Spock Something to be Thankful For

Hey Kids,

I meant to post this the other week before Election Day but couldn’t find it!   I just love his smile here, and looking so sharp!  Mr. Nimoy, thanks for all the joy and talent you’ve given the world! Wanna come over for Thanksgiving? 😉

My Weekly Spock – Profile in Courage

I’m happy to report that TOS gallery of  images is back on TrekCore! (thanks for the update Cory!)

While searching for images for my next poster (And the Children Shall Lead) I noticed that this episode featured an abundance of side shots of Spock.  Enjoy the epic profile!

My Weekly Spock: Leonard, the Youth.

What a fine young man!  Is it me or is his right ear sticking out more than usual here?

Rigoletto Looks Awfully Familiar…

This weekend, our local Opera company, Tri-Cities Opera is presenting their first opera of the season —Rigoletto.   I’d love to see it if I had the time (and money) yet, oddly, the thing that struck me immediately about its poster art was the main character.   Does anyone else see an old Leonard Nimoy under the clown makeup here? (Blue eyes notwithstanding)

My Weekly Spock: Some on-set silliness

I’m always happy to find candid stills of TOS production!  Here’s some gems from all three seasons.   Love the lollipop (it was hot on those sets!)

That Shirt.

Makes sense, right?

My Weekly Spock: Nimoy as Freddy in Bonanza “The Ape”

Leonard appeared in this 1960 episode of the classic Western Bonanza as a sleazy bartender who makes fun of Arte, the Cartwrights dim-witted, but incredibly big and strong ranch hand.

Nimoy’s scenes are few, but he adds t another in a line of ‘heavies’ to his resume.  At least he’s a sharp dresser!

You can see the whole episode here.  🙂
