Worst Overacting

And the hot chick in "Spock's Brain" trying to speak alien baby talk. Brain and Brain! What is Brain?"
Sometimes an actor has no choice but to deliver the lines as written and directed.

Right. The actress Marje (?) Dusay has been pretty good in everything I've seen her in, so it must be the script.

Skip Homeier as Dr. Sevrin.

I rather liked him in that. He was good at those borderline zealot parts. heck, he did enough of them! Unlike Liam Sullivan, Homeier at least gave his parts slightly different characters...
 
Wow! The 3rd Season Love Fest. Kirk falls in love (again). Scotty falls in love. McCoy falls in love. Chekov falls in love.:guffaw:
 
You're just mad because Spock's love interest made him mind meld with her other boyfriend, which drove him insane.
 
Haha, The Squire immediately comes to mind, but so does Daystrom from "The Ultimate Computer." A subtler interpretation could have hammered home the "Oh God, I've created an electronic Frankenstein" idea. But that episode is so overt in its message that I'm not surprised that he's kind of nuts from the beginning.

I've often wondered about Trelane. An immature Q would be a reasonable interpretation.

Sevrin was a much better part for Skip than Melakon. Melakon's simply evil because he's an ambitious Nazi. Sevrin has the internal motivation of technology making him an outcast to society.
 
Dr. Dehner: NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT HAVE THEY!?!

And Boma for just being an insufferable jerk. I wish Spock nerve pinched him.
 
@ beaker: One trick I learned when cutting radio commercials was keep the microphone close to the mouth and don't put a lot of volume in the voice. But inflection is tricky, because with some words you might overmodulate or pop the mike. That might be what's happening with a lot of television and film, since sometimes whole scenes might be looped on a dubbing stage.

Actually, I think the role of severin was well played. Just my opinion, mind you
 
After Kirk on crack, I would have to say that Lazarus kills it.



KILL!

KILL!

KILL!

KILL!

KILL!

I still have trouble sometimes figuring out if Lazarus A or Lazarus B is on the screen. :confused: What a convoluted episode.:wtf:

"That was he! He's death, anti-life. He lives to destroy!":guffaw:
 
The worst acting, the worst acting in probably all of Trek was the man wearing the shower curtain.
But maybe that was underacting. I don't know.

It was even worse than Riker's poncing around.
