Leonard Nimoy April 1, 1968 A backstage meet and greet. Backstage at KCOP (Los Angeles Channel 13 TV) taping "the Gramaphone to Groovy" show. Photo by Mary Ann Cappa. Еще четыре As a newspaper photographer, I was covering Leonard Nimoy's visit to a local Long Island, NY, mall. Here, a mom & her child seem equally astonished to meet "Spock."
When I was growing up and only had access to television reception via rabbit ears, the picture quality of the show wasn't all that great. But now that everything is digital and the pause button is at my command, subtle things that were barely noticeable before stand out like a sore thumb. Either by personal choice or by contract, the main actors apparently didn't do "dangerous" stunt work which reduces the credibility of the fight scenes. Observe...
So you think it was Shatner vs. Montalban in "Space Seed?"
The trademark Kirk drop-kick is there, but the Kirk-fu wasn't true Shatner style.
In "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky," Bones turns into a lean, mean fighting machine with a face made for battle:
"Shore Leave" had some serious Kirk-fu in it, complete with drop-kicks, double-first blows, and all kinds of other wild swings which are only seriously effective in the Star Trek world of the 1960s. However, one has to wonder during a distant camera shot who is really fighting Finnegan:
Everyone loves the classic "Amok Time." Friend against friend in a fight to the death. Kirk and Spock, human and Vulcan ... and two other mystery people. This is not Leonard Nimoy with the bowl haircut:
And that is certainly not Bill Shatner.
In "Mirror, Mirror," Spock determines that the entire landing party is suspect and attempts to interrogate them. However, a scuffle soon entails. Kirk eventually performs his patented double drop-kick on Spock. Except once again it doesn't look like Spock:
And that doesn't look like McCoy either:
The Enterprise visits Ardana in the third season episode "The Cloud Minders" where things gets tense and Kirk once again causes mayhem for the planet. Here we have Plasus and Kirk about to go hand-to-hand. Except, of course, that when Kirk puts on his true game face, his complexion changes entirely:
And in "The Savage Curtain," Kirk and Spock are once again forced to fight in order to survive and entertain aliens by using incredibly boring combat moves. For those distant shots, however, Shatner and Nimoy apparently decided a few bumps and bruises were not worth the trouble.
Over in the next century, Data goes machine-to-machine in "Descent." However ... this just doesn't look at all like the Data we know. Maybe it's that emotion being remotely pumped into him. Or maybe Brent Spiner didn't want to do simple stunt work in this scene:
Tap dancing is no doubt a skill with a steep learning curve. Just leave it to your stunt double wingman to do the heavy lifting when the time comes:
Data sure was the highlight of many an episode, eh? But for some shots, you just can't do screen-splits and have Mr. Spiner act in both places at once:

William Shatner: Captain of the Starship When William Shatner's career was on the skids.
By now everyone's heard about William Shatner's The Transformed Man -- that infamous 60's recording where he sings Mr. Tambourine Man and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds -- but check out this other Shatner LP, an ultra-rare two-record set recorded live in 1978. It's a recording of an appearance at some kind of a Star Trek convention just before the first Star Trek movie came out (probably the lowest point in Shatner's career). Half of it consists of Shatner answering questions from the audience (where was the bathroom on the Enterprise?) and recalling inane stories from his career. On the other half, he performs dramatic poetry interpretations, including "Earthbound", "The Flight of Man" and a reading from H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds".
On the artwork for Transformed Man, Shatner appeared as Captain Kirk, in his full starfleet uniform. Here, however, licensing restrictions prevented Imperial House records from using any actual Trek material. Notice how Shatner is the captain of the "Starship", not the "Enterprise", and how his shirt, while similar to the one he wore on TV, lacks the official Star Trek insignia. If you look closely you might also notice that the space rifle he's wielding is actually an upside-down camera tripod -- talk about your low-budget photo shoots!

Here's a special treat for you. This two record set features William Shatner speaking at Hofstra University sometime around 1978. For those of you who like to hear the Shat Man do dramatic soliloquies, you'll be happy to hear him perform pieces from "Cyrano de Bergerac", "War of the Worlds", and others. For those who want tidbits for the (at the time) upcoming movie, you've got that here too, even talking about why Leonard Nimoy was holding out for more money. (If I remember right, Shatner said the budget for the upcoming "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was around $8 million. It turns out that, according to the IMDB, it was really around $35 million.) And if you want some stories about how Star Trek changed his life, you've got that as well.
I think Shatner sounds sort of fun and bubbly when he's talking to the audience here. He seems to me like he's really enjoying the attention, before he became a full-on celebrity and (maybe) expected to be treated like a celebrity. Anyway, hope you enjoy this.
(And yes, the cover photo shows him menacing some off-camera alien with an upside down camera tripod!)
It all sort of meshes together, so the tracks are divided by side.

_____________________________________________________________________________ _ ON BEING A VULCAN "To be Vulcan, means to adopt a philosophy, a way of life which is logical and beneficial. We can not disregard that philosophy merely for personal gain - no matter how important that gain may be." (Spock to Amanda - Journey to Babel) "I too am a Vulcan, bred to peace." (Spock - Savage Curtain) ON LOGIC "Logic is the begining of wisdom not the end" (Spock to Valeris STII) "Logic is a little bird tweeting in meadow; logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which ... smell bad..." (Spock - I Mudd) ON EXISTENCE "Change is the essential process of all existence." ON DEATH "I would remind you, though, that the word for 'decide' is descended from older words meaning to kill; options and opportunities die when decisions are made. Be careful what you kill." (Spock, "Spock's World" by Diane Duane) "Is death truly a curse? There is little logic in condemning something one has not experienced...or does not remember experiencing." (Spock - Wounded Sky, Diane Duane) "Accepting death - by understanding that every life comes to an end, when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted." (Spock to younger Spock in Yesteryear - STA) ON KILLING "It is illogical to kill without reason." "If there were a reason a Vulcan is quite capable of killing - logically and efficiently." (Spock - Journey to Babel) ON THE WARRIOR MENTALITY "Shakespeare understood the warrior mentality:'Witness this army, of such mass and charge/ Exposing what is mortal and usure/To all that fortune, death, danger dare/ Even for an eggshell.' or as a Klingon poet might put it, Captain, any excuse for a fight." (Vulcan Academy Murders: J. Lorrah) ON INTELLIGENCE "A world without intelligence is a primitive place, Doctor, not an enchanted place. Intelligence is part of the advancing scheme of evolution. Without it, nature reaches a plateau very quickly and does not progress beyond raw survival. The full flavor of possibility goes un-savored. And that... is a true shame." (The First Frontier: by Diane Carey & Dr. James Kirkland) ON FEAR "Irrational fear is a construct of an undisciplined intellect" (Spock to Chekov in Deep Domain)* "Fear is among the strongest and most violent of the emotions." (Spock - Wolf in the fold.) _____________________________________________________________________________ _ ON VEGETARIANS (SORT OF) "In a strict scientific sense, Doctor, we all feed on death - even Vegetarians." (Spock - Wolf in the Fold). ON COMPUTERS "Computers make excellent and efficient servants - but I have no wish to serve under them." * "...that computers are more efficient - not better than human beings" (Spock - The Ultimate Computer) ON EMOTION "However, I have noted, that the 'healthy' release of emotion is frequently very unhealthy for those closest to you." (Spock - Plato's Stepchildren) "Emotions are alien to me - I am a scientist." (Spock - Paradise syndrome) "What you do not yet understand is that Vulcans do not lack emotion. This is an all too common misconception. It is merely that our emotions are controlled, kept in check. This adherence to principles of logic offers a serenity that humans rarely experience in full. We have emotions. But we deal firmly with them and do not let them control us." (Elder Spock to young Spock in Yesteryear TOS-animated) "Humans smile with so little provocation." (Spock- Journey to Babel) ON KNOWLEDGE "Not even Vulcans can know the un-known." (Spock - Immunity syndrome) "If I drop a wrench on a planet with a positive gravity field, I need not see it fall, nor hear it hit the ground, to know that it has in fact fallen." (Spock - Court Martial) "I object to Intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose." (Spock - Squire of Gothos) ON HUMANS BEHAVIOUR "I do not mean to offend, sir, but it behaves with an almost human pattern." (Spock - The Ultimate Computer) ON HUMANOID BEHAVIOUR "It is the lot of 'man' to strive, no matter how content he is." "Each of us at some time in our life turns to someone, a father, a brother, a God and asks Why am I here? What was I ment to be?." (Spock - ST-I) ON FASCINATING "Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected." (Spock - Squire of Gothos) ON DIPLOMACY "We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis." (Spock - A taste of Armagedon) "The entire key to diplomacy is sincerity. Once that can be faked, the rest is simple." (Spock - The Rift:Peter David).
