Hunter gave us a much more serious captain than Shatner's Kirk -- you can imagine him displaying grim amusement in a scene, but not lightheartedness. I don't think I've ever seen Hunter doing something that could be called comedy, from John Ford's The Searchers and the King of Kings movie through to "The Cage." However, his relationship with the ship's doctor, as played by John Hoyt (was that man ever young?), was very much like that of Kirk/McCoy. On the other hand, Laurel Goodwin's Yeoman Colt was much cuter than Grace Lee Whitney's Yeoman Rand -- a forerunner of WKRP's Bailey Quarters, but in space."The Cage" - Svengoolie played the uncut, original pilot. I'd seen it years ago when Rodenberry had visited the Syracuse University Campus back in about '75 but hadn't seen it since. Great fun. Jeffery Hunter wasn't all that bad.
Worf
I hate to burst your bubble, but Sirna Kolrami was played by Roy Brocksmith. David Lander played a tactician in that episode, not Kolrami.Last night, the ST:TNG episode "Peak Performance," in which Picard's Enterprise participates in war games. I had never realized that the actor who plays the sniffing master strategist, Sirna Kolrami, was David Lander: "Squiggy" on Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley! On ST:TNG he is as totally subsumed within the role as my other favorite acting chameleon, John Leguizamo, has been in things like To Wong Foo and Moulin Rouge.
Good story too.
And soon, you will be looking forward to next season.Episode ten of Preacher.
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
Looking forward to the finale.
We too loved the scene with the cat. It got a big laugh out of us.Last episode of "The Night Off." Overall - despite enough plot holes to make Swiss cheese - a really well-done, intense show. The acting and character development overcame the plot holes. And absolutely loved the cat trotting by as the final shot - yup, John's a softy at heart.
One more comment: Naz's parents might be the most forgiving people in the universe. Had I done all the stupid and illegal things Naz had done to land in jail and, effectively, destroy his family's modest finances, my father for sure and (probably) my mother would have let me rot in jail. Which, as we know from former posts, means I would have been dead five minutes before I actually made it into the prison itself.
