In the Inside Trek book and audio…Bob Justman or was it Herbert Solow? clearly speak about Bill’s toupee needing repair. But it was to hide his top front, not his full head like a wig. Full wigs were worn by Nichols & Barrett and Whitney, as well as Koenig intitally.

That brought back some wonderful memories, since I was quite fortunate to have been in the audience at the Chicago Conrad Hilton that weekend in 1975 (when I was just 12 years old!)

Not only was the TOS cast there, but so was Mark Lenard and Gene and Majel Roddenberry.

Here’s a much better pic, taken by a friend, of Shatner on the Bridge set that weekend: http://www.box.net/shared/svnp2z84af

Very nice. Very reminiscent of the old New York Trek cons. I loved them. So many guests. I remember running into Isaac Asimov a number of times.

Interesting idea on what I’d bring back.

For me, it would be a very close race between TOS Season 4 and Phase II.

I think Phase II would have had a VERY successful run – more than 1 season – because the *only* reason TOS was dumped was because Nielsen didn’t do demographics in the 60’s. NBC never knew they had hit gold with the kind of demographic the networks would kill for these days. Given the intensity of popularity of Trek in that mid-70’s timeframe, I think it would have to have been one awful train wreck to only go one season.

Then again, we probably would never have gotten ANY movies…….

We’ll obviously never know…unless somone can get Chris Pine to check it out in the alternate timeline (har har har)

Never been to a convention myself but the whole time I was watching the vid I kept thinking about the scenes from Galaxy Quest when they were all talking about the “commander” behind his back. Bet there was a lot to hear behind the scenes that day in Chicago.
