Watching Star Trek for the first time (again)

It was a matter of acting style, not script. A different actor could have been given the same lines and delivered them in a more naturalistic style.

I'll suffice it to say that I was riveted when Bill was on the screen in a way I haven't been this season so... mileage varying and all! :)
 
Jackpot!

On yesterday's episode of The Virginian, Sherry Jackson (Andrea)...

and Leonard Nimoy!

Did you miss the April 1965 episode in which Nimoy and Michael Ansara play brothers?

Sadly, I did, and since it was late in the season, it didn't get rerun over the summer. That's what happens when you live in the moment...but if you have snapshots from it, please feel free to share!

More from this week -- Michael Barrier (Vincent DeSalle) in Bonanza on the 14th:

And Mr. Dunn as a recurring bad guy in Wild Wild West yesterday:

I hope that the Galactic Journey included listening to the US version of Rubber Soul today!

You'd better believe it! My daughter (16) who has been on the Journey with me, and so is very in tune with "current" music trends, exclaimed, "Where did this come from?"

It's very now.

We also listened to The Who's "My Generation" album, which came out the same day. A few days later, "Turn, Turn, Turn" came out, which was good, too.

Alright -- a really good find today... on Gidget:

We also listened to The Who's "My Generation" album, which came out the same day.
That would be a British import at this point in the timeline; the American version came out in April '66, IIRC.

My daughter (16) who has been on the Journey with me, and so is very in tune with "current" music trends, exclaimed, "Where did this come from?"
When I was around the same age in 1987, "Norwegian Wood" was about the trippiest thing I'd ever heard.
 
A clutch of bit players this week:

From Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, 1-02-66: Kang sans hair.

1-04-66, Combat! (Felix Locher, looking all of 29)

1-06-66, Requiem for a Heavyweight was the CBS Thursday night movie last week. The wrestling promoter is a familiar face:

Jackpot with this week's I Spy! Going from least to most prestigious:

I knew the Organians were faking -- look at that tie! Clearly an advanced race.

Sorry for the delay. I haven't been watching as much TV as usual (and amazingly, it seems the Trek cast is busy with something these days...)

Here's Bill Shatner in Dr. Kildare on February 22:

And here's Sherry Jackson from the 1960 film, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (a rerun we watched because it has Tony Randall in it!)
