    I'll be honest folks; I'm too hot and uncomfortable to write up much of an introduction this month. I miss winter. Summer is yuck. So lets skip to the chase... ;)

    My Favorites:
    1st Row, Right: 1968, when fandom had teeth. Once upon a time our Trekkie fore-fathers stood and gathered and demonstrated to save the Original Series, thus ensuring we had a third season and enough episodes where made to put the show into reruns, leading to... everything else. Damn inspiring. Kind of poetic to be in the Fourth of July edition.

    4th Row, Left: Quintessential James T. Kirk.

    5th Row, Left: One of the rejected Tom Paris promo photos I mentioned last month. ;) I spaced them all out so the next is October. Props to my flatbed scanner -- the original image is at best 2x3 inches from a contact sheet.

    6th Row, Left: Brent Spiner studies his script on the back-lot of Paramount. Love the hat.



    Which Ones Are Your Favorites and Why?

    That protest shot is great - you're right - they're an inspiration!

    I absolutely love the picture of the Big Three and that lady, 2nd row, right. Don't know who she is, but that is such a nice pic!

    The Brent Spiner one is great as well. It's always interesting to see actors in full costume hanging around the lot. Also love that closeup of Shatner as Captain Kirk. He really was perfect for the role.

    I do wonder what's bothering Captain Archer, though. He looks like he's sitting on a pain stick or something.

    That picture shows the craziness that must go on in movie studios. You have Brent in his Data costume wearing a LA Dodgers cap while a women in what looks like an Old-West period dress is coming down the stairs.

    Love, love, love the photo of Kate Woodville and the Big Three from "For the World is Hollow..." Spontaneity creates such great pictures. And Natira's costume is classic Theiss Trek, a marvel of construction and just beautiful.

    And from the look, some of them were baby teeth. ;)

    I like the one with the Crusher family. Gates/Bev has a look on her face like "I'm action mom!" and Wil/Wes is like, "whatever!".
