Book Covers - Payment?

In the early days, no one imagined that TV shows would go beyond one play-and-two-repeats.

Well, when it came to Star Trek, the actors signed contacts for five showings including the first run network broadcast.

And when Nimoy tried to renegotiate his contract after season one, one of the things he went after was residual payments in perpetuity. He didn't get it.

By the late '60s, I think it was less that no one imagined long syndication runs and more that the production companies didn't want to give actors that money.
 
Or how about the “Star Trek Nemesis” DVD disc art? The phot of Data is from the movie, but the image of Picard is from Season 6 or 7.
I know exactly the photo you’re referring to...It used to drive me crazy...it doesn’t look like anything available of Patrick during the series run (or match any of the sessions)...based on the angle/lighting I *think* it’s a shot from either Generations, or possibly First Contact (there were photos taken of him in the TNG uniform for the flashback)
