I myself am not an artist, but I love them.

Exactly.

At least Connery didn’t have pointed ears.

How is it that Spock is so well versed in Romulan regulations? And why would the Romulan Commander jump into the transporter beam to the Enterprise and become a captive of the Federation? #TOSSatNight

This episode is a great illustration of just how fine an actor James Doohan was. #TOSSatNight

Costumes were great too. #TOSSatNight

Spock lies regularly.

Can’t admire enough the marvelous colored lighting by Jerry Finnerman. Tthe craftsmanship is superb: cinematography, writing, acting, directing, music…. The original series glitters with talent. #TOSSatNight

Another fine sneering performance by James Doohan as Engineer Scott in command of the Enterprise. #TOSSatNight

The Romulan Commander is a cool character with grand ambitions and sly methods. “We can appreciate the Vulcans, our distant brothers.” #TOSSatNight.

Yes, right after Spectre of the Gun.

I am going to make it tonight after all, and can celebrate the great Joanne Linville. #TOSSatNight

Sounds like a bad deal.

I may not make this excellent episode tonight, but I do dig the Romulan Commander’s chair and would still like to know how Star Fleet never seemed to master the cloaking technology for themselves. #TOSSatNight

When I meet him I’m going to ask him if it’s true that he played keyboard on the recording session for Bill Conte’s score for Rocky.

Had a chance to speak to Rod Roddenberry at Yuri’s Night at Griffith Observatory last weekend. Had not seen him since the Emmy Award ceremony where his father was honored for Star Trek. We talked about the 3-ft Enterprise studio model adventure, which will hopefully come to a close soon.

A very fine sculptor. He toured me through his studio in Denver and showed me many of his pieces, and his nation-wide civic installations. He’s worried that the administration has taken down many of his works in the Pentagon and other locations and that hundreds of his works are at risk.

Just spoke to Ed Dwight, American’s 1st black astronaut candidate in 1962. Ed was the inspiration for Victor Glover to become a pilot and astronaut, who just just completed a voyage to the moon on Artemis II. Congratulations to Victor, who carries Ed Dwight’s legacy to ever greater achievements.

Gonna miss this one. At Yuri’s Night LA. But I have to say, this is not my favorite episode. #TOSSatNight

I first saw Marina Sertis in the 1986 British production of Sherlock Holme’s THE SIX NAPOLEONS with Jeremy Brett.

Risk is our business, eh.

I too can see his point, but I do love Shatner’s delivery of this speech. It’s great. #TOSSatNight

Ralph Senensky told me that he did not prefer Shatner’s performance in his famous “Risk is Our Business” speech in this episode. He would have preferred a less dramatic performance, like what he delivered in another episode Ralph directed: Metamorphosis. #TOSSatNight

James Doohan was so versatile doing voices for characters in Star Trek episodes. Here he’s the voice of Sargon. I discovered what a fine actor he is when I was a cameraman on a film he acted in. He was splendid. It was 1980 shortly after the premiere of Star Trek the motion picture. #TOSSatNight

What a pleasure to see my friend’s name on the screen as director of this episode. How I miss conversation with Ralph Senensky, who we lost last year at age 102. #TOSSatNight

I think they sleep by dreaming of all the money.
