Does McCoy really break the fourth wall in "Babel"?

[plynch]

Mostly I whipped out that fan film to provide amusement.

We need to be careful whipping things out here, people.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

In other words, not breaking the fourth wall, but leaning on the fourth wall.

My opinion too.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Works for me.

 

[romanticzombie]

i always just assumed he was talking to himself

Uhura's "bluey?" comment in The Changeling is another close call.

 

[Basill]

Good one.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that one...

Also, doesn't the "Imposter" Kirk look into the camera just before the fade-out to the opening credits of The Enemy Within ?

In the James Blish adaptation, McCoy delivers his "last word" line to Amanda.

This scene was parodied brilliantly on "Family Guy" last Sunday.

Actors looking almost into the camera are not "close calls". There's a general rule in closeup that the more intimate the shot, the closer the camera is to the actor and the closer it is to their eyeline. This because you can read the expression better in such angles than others.
