I also am a big fan of Steve Ihnat’s. He certainly does play this role very flamboyantly…perhaps because there was a brand new director at the helm who let the actors do whatever they wanted. Watch any other Ihant performance, he’s usually much more subdued. His Mission Impossible episodes are classics. There’s a tribute website to him, called Brief Candle.

As for Yvonne Craig’s “chunkiness” – get real. There was a funny news article a couple of days ago. Pot bellies are “in” for men, now. But of course if a woman isn’t a bag of bones, she’s fat.

I can’t figure why folks have it in for the third season. The worst show of all the original series is ‘The Alternative Factor’, which is just embarrassingly stupid. Misused terms, completely pointless
and meandering logic-free script. Whom Gods Destroy used to annoy me when I was a kid but now I kind of like it because Steve Ihnat is so charismatic. I remember watching it and thinking, “how come this guy isn’t a bigger star?” The answer was because he was DEAD. He died in 1972 or something. Ed Asner made some speech about him at the Emmy Awards that year, what a great guy he was. People out in the audience dabbing their eyes: oh we lost another genius. Screaming pot smokers at the after-party: “He was brilliant” (imagine the word ‘brilliant’ in italics cause I’m too lazy to see if I can do it on this web page)

95.

If it’s Paul Baxley, he looks a lot more like Shatner in this episode than he did in “Trouble with Tribbles.”

80.

Shatner’s stunt double in this episode was Paul Baxley, a regular stand-in for Shatner who played Ensign Freeman in “The Trouble with Tribbles” and other smaller roles throughout the series.

Carlos, I understand you. I can sympathize to the nth degree.

For courtmartial they should have had a moranda class vessel with the old style warp nacelles. Also they should have had a small fleet leave during the klingon versus federation battle that those organians stopped.

What’s the purpose of remastering if they aren’t going to add to it?

Also I noticed that omega glory episode lost the 2nd ship after awhile. You would think they would have kept it in the shot.

Also you could shoot phasers from other places.

I just don’t see the point if your aren’t going to do it right.

Your comments are all very magnanomous! These comments are mildly amusing/nostalgic and remaniscent of child like statements. I’m sorry but I doubt all of you, no doubt, because you have not as of yet had your coronations.
