apantherfrommd Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 William Shatner, who for many years played Captain Kirk to Nimoy's Spock on the TV series and in subsequent films, crowdsourced pictures of fans doing the Vulcan's "live long and prosper" salute and made them into a mosaic photo tribute.Shatner kept his intentions under wraps when he made his initial request for fans to send in pictures, asking only that they send in selfies of themselves performing the gesture.

IpMan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Who woulda thought Shatner will most likely be the last man standing of the original ST crew. I figured his liver would have exploded decades ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured his liver would have exploded decades ago. LMAO. The things you say, IpMan. Bill has a decent heart. I honestly believed that he wishes he would have attended Nimoy's funeral. He tried, but he got there late. He could have left earlier. IMO, he's a man that stays the course on his obligations. But, Dammit Jim, you should have honored Spock then and there.

in_the_evening Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Had no idea George "played for the other team" til he came out. He's done some great stuff with it though since coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpMan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wasn't George Takei one of the original ST crew? He's still living. yes indeed he is, I love George, great human being. What I meant was he will "likely" be the last man standing, not that he was the only man standing. Walter Koenig is alive and well and still doing sic-fi. If you never saw the Babylon 5 series check it out. Koenig play a character called Al Bester, a Psy-Cop, and it is a wonderful, deep character. Much better than his role as Chekov.

Disco Duck Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 IIRC, this Star Trek episode was inspired by the flower child movement of the Sixties. The brunette female in the background was an old flame of Mr. Chekhov. The fact that I remember this stuff is proof positive that I spent way too much time watching Star Trek reruns in my youth.
