I mostly riff on Original Series Star Trek (and also run @misterleslietos) Occasionally live tweeting #AllStarTrek and #TOSSatNight (mute to avoid logorrhea...)

I love old interviews like this, before Star Trek became widely popular. What strikes me is that Shatner and Nimoy are both very thoughtful, but not about the same thing. Shatner is more attentive to his *performance*; Nimoy is more attentive to his *character*… 1/

Walter Koenig’s Chekov was an eager young officer who often provided comic relief. But we see glimpses in Day of the Dove and Mirror, Mirror at how good he was at playing threatening characters. A good example is his gang leader role in Alfred Hitchcock’s Memo From Purgatory…
