Plato’s Stepchildren– The look on Philana’s face perfectly captures the their sliminess! But of course I always watched this one because Chapel finally got to kiss Spock! (Does that make me as repulsive as Philana? 😉 I always loved Michael Dunn’s performance here too, wonderful actor.

Friends, I’m sad to confirm that indeed, Grace Lee Whitney has passed at the age of 85, at her home on May 1st. I’ll be writing a longer post soon — sorry about the confusion. Rest in Peace, Sweet Grace. ❤ http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/grace-lee-whitney-yeoman-rand-original-star-trek-dies-n353001
Friday already? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, kids. Thanks for your patience. Here’s a funny Series by artist Jessie Avarian . Spock and the crew puzzle over the human fascination with bacon! I bet even the Vegetarian Vulcan was tempted by its heavenly aroma! I hope he does Kirk gobbling it all up! Jessie’s whole series is available on Etsy here.
Something for the Whovians… Inspired by an actual Spock quote from The Galileo Seven, this came to me as I was dozing off the other night; glad I remembered it! (My mind works in crazy ways, folks!)
p.s. I don’t think the weeping angels actually hiss, but it made for good creepiness here!

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!

I admit, growing up this wasn’t one of my favorite episodes, but watching it now, it has a delicious darkness about it. Michael Ansara’s Kang is a sympathetic Klingon, and ever so cool. I still think the end is kind of goofy, but in reality, wouldn’t it be nice if we could laugh away all our war and destruction? Here’s to the pursuit of Peace.

Here’s a beautiful watercolor of Spock by Jonathan A. Reincke on Deviant Art. I love the splatter of paint around the edges.

Hey Kids, Here’s my latest poster! (And it just turned out to be green enough for St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoy.
Beaming up this chestnut from 2012! Have a Lucky Day! ❤
These two videos were brought to my attention by reader “Supervisor 194” (David Thomas) who created these two splendid opening sequences to the series that never was: Assignment: Earth. I love the music to these; the first being the original arrangement, and the second, a jazzier, ’70’s version.
I think Assignment: Earth would have made a wonderful series. A lot of people see Gary Seven as an American version of Dr. Who, and I can see that quite easily. Now if only someone in Hollywood would make this real — I think Benedict Cumberbatch would made a fine Seven!
