New blog post from director Ralph Senensky

[Talos IV]

TOS director Ralph Senensky has written very interesting tales of his time on Star Trek, on his blog.

He's posted a new one HERE -- it's an overview of his time on the show, start to finish and beyond.

A good read!

Why does his [blog post] read like a paid sponsorship for the podcast in question?

Even if it were, he's such a major voice for us with regard to getting a peak behind the scenes, all would be forgiven.

A peak behind the scenes would stick up over them, so you'd not need anyone to give a peek at them.

Pique is a whole 'nogther matter.

No sponsorship here. I just really like Senensky's posts. And since he's one of only three original series directors still with us (along with Robert Butler and Marvin Chomsky), his insights are valuable.

I didn’t mean to suggest it was you. I tweaked the post to address this.

Damn, I didn't realize there were only three still with us, though of course as soon as you point it out I realize, how could it be otherwise?

I was once at a funeral of a friendly business contact of mine, and one of the speakers mentioned how the deceased always loved to regale Star Trek fans he knew with behind-the-scenes stories of the original series episodes he had directed.

Which I had NEVER known about until this moment in the eulogy! Over the years we had had many conversations about other (more recent) jobs of his, but neither he nor I ever brought up Star Trek, and I didn't know the original series directors by name the way I would have the Berman-era roster. He was a lovely man, but sometimes speaking with him I was really reaching to find a topic of shared interest. This huge one was there the whole time, undiscovered until immediately after his death.

Who was he?

Who was he?

Detective: "I know who the murderer is!!!"
Family Member: "Who?!"
Detective: "It doesn't matter. What matters is there was a murderer."

Audiences aghast...
