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!)

Today’s Toon: Awkward Elevator

Sorry, just the way Bill is looking at Leonard here, I couldn’t resist!

#57 Spectre of the Gun

In a most surreal episode, Kirk and Co. find themselves as the Clanton Gang at the O.K. Corral.  A Wanted poster seemed most appropriate here! Get a load of Kirk’s’ hair’! A fairly good episode for season 3, although I found the end a tad contrived. At least it let Scotty and Chekov into the action.

Wideo Wednesday: Star Trek 2nd Pilot Intro – Unaired Version

If you haven’t seen this, it’s pretty neat! Different dialogue for the opening.  Taken from a 16mm print!

#53 Patterns of Force

At first I wanted to feature Kirk and Spock in their Nazi uniforms, but I figured it was better to have the novice viewer wonder why they were being interrogated by Nazis. Boy, Kirk sweats a lot!

FArFri: Some Fun Trek Gifs by iwanttorentawombat

For this week’s fan art, I found some fun Gifs  (I understand it’s pronounced ‘Jif’, but whatever!)  These are by artist iwanttorentawombat  and she’s picked some prime moments!  Hope she does more!

#52 Return to Tomorrow

Not nearly enough Mister Spock in the last few posters!  Here’s his moment to shine!  (Didn’t you love him as Henoch?)

#51 By Any Other Name

Let’s see, is it a Star Trek poster or a Kotex Ad?!  I admit, as I watched Kelinda ‘bloom’ the whole time I was creating this, all I could think of the the old Kotex box (of feminine products) that we used to get as teenagers.  Must be all the roses!

My Weekly Spock: On the Trek set with Joan Wilson

Hey All,

For this week I found a great group of personal photos from Joan Winston, who was the author of The Making of Star Trek Conventions, and the co-author of Star Trek Lives!. Joan was a legendary superfan and Trek fandom was a lot happier because of her!  Enjoy these candids of Joan with Leonard, De, Bill, and Jimmy on the Star Trek set during the filming of Turnabout Intruder! (Funny how flat the sets look without the right lighting!)

#49 The Immunity Syndrome

As Star Trek carried on into it’s 2nd season, it began airing more stories set on board to save on it’s paltry limited budget.  Immunity Syndrome was definitely one of the better ones.  For this poster I preserved the ‘amoeba’ used in the original broadcasts.  The new CGI one is okay, but this one seemed more sinister.
