Heh. Hadn't spotted that before.Anybody who'd wear blue, green, and turquoise plaid pants like that should be thrown into a looney bin.

Maybe Harvey has the budget for this episode and how it compares to other third season outings?
The numbers I have place the estimated actual budget of the episode at $179,778.35. Ten third season shows cost more than that; the rest cost less. In the cost-conscious third season, "Whom Gods Destroy" is in the middle of the road.
Can you see which were the highest line items? Were the guest stars big enough names to warrant higher fees? Batgirl premiums?
Kick starter doesn't seem like it would work to do that. What, after all, would be the incentives you'd offer people to donate?
Yeah, that wouldn't be at all legal.

Two words: Super Velcro!. . . Case to point - Dr. Whats-his-name suspended against the wall in the detention area at the beginning of the story. For the first timer watching Trek, it smacks of something extra, a detail that hints at something beyond our ability today, but no issue is made of it in the episode itself.
Yvonne tells the story that the makeup artists ended up using spray-on liquid bandage to keep the green makeup from rubbing off on everything she touched. When she sweated under the hot studio lights, the stuff melted and formed cobwebby strings. In the scene where she's dragged out into the planet's poisonous atmosphere and she's pleading for her life with arms outstretched, it looked like green moss was growing from her armpits! Fortunately it didn't show up on film.The Orion makeup caused lots of problems because Yvonne Craig, as Marta, had to keep touching Shatner's face and uniform but not leave behind green streaks. They tried about three types of green makeup during the filming, but each one photographed very differently, making continuity and editing extremely tricky.
He also wears his long coat with one arm in the sleeve and the other side draped over his shoulder, further reinforcing the impression of an unbalanced mind. Or maybe he's trying to start a new fashion.Also love that Garth wears one gold boot and one silver boot. And watch his ring explode and fly off his finger during a tantrum!
If I was the guy that had to do Yvonne's body makeup. I'd forego my salary for that job. I'd probably pay them!
Hey, that's my line!They say once you've had green, everything else is routine.![]()
My problem with WGD is that it's concerned with psychiatry, without criticising it as DotM did. It appropriated the chair from DotM, then did a sort of comment-free story on a disturbed former commander, without questioning the advisability or feasability of trying to "cure" people with such a ham-fisted, simplistic sort of device.
Still, even faulty season 3 Trek is well worth watching, and a special thing to be treasured.
Depending on who else is in the living room, some S3 episodes can also be quite embarrassing.
The correct answer to that episode would have been "Barbara Babcock".
Actually there was some discussion of Barbara Babcock's closeups and the old Vaseline-on-the-lens trick - the women of TOS often were shot in very soft focus - but that sounded a bit... naughty.
