Hi! Come Read My Journal

[Apr. 21st, 2008|12:44 am]

Being one of the dinosaurs of Star Trek fandom (I came into this fine madness in 1974), I've been using my LJ to chronicle my personal memories of the Golden Age of fandom, and would like to hear from others, too, who've been on this path a long time or a little while. If you've ever wondered how things were or how they came to be, pay a visit and read and add your own stories. I've just posred a new entry.

Thanks for your attention.

I just made a huge update on my graphics comm. I broke the posts up by episode; some episodes into mulitple posts, roughly 160 icons apiece. Links to each post are under the LJ cut below. Usually I make link tables with teasers of each episode when I do an update this large, but I've decided that link tables for icon posts take too long given current time constraints. I might start doing them again this summer. Apologies to anyone who isn't familiar with the ep names. It's the only practical way I can think of. X-posted various places.

Star Trek Actors' Early Appearances

[Feb. 29th, 2008|10:30 am]

I think we all know that Star Trek actors appeared elsewhere before acquiring their most famous roles, good aspiring actors that they were. And I think we all know of William Shatner's famous turn on The Twilight Zone in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". (He was also the star of another good Twilight Zone episode, "Nick of Time"). Well, yesterday I watched the Twilight Zone episode "Valley of the Shadow", one of the hour-long episodes, from 1963.

This episode of The Twilight Zone features not only James Doohan, looking young, thin, and fit, with his real (non-Scottish-accented) voice, but David Opatoshu, who played the antagonist Anan Seven in the Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon". Perhaps not accidentally, he plays the exact same type of role in "Valley of the Shadow", that of the leader of a flawed society, perpetuating its flaws to the detriment of the hero, with hard-to-believe professions of sorrow and regret for the pain his administration is causing that hero. His voice is the same, as are his benign, fatherly facial expressions.

James Doohan's role is less significant (he is only in one scene), and I didn't recognize him at first, though he appeared normally (not as an alien or anything masking his face). The combination of youth and his real voice threw me for a moment. But his performance was as good as anyone else's in the episode, quite convincing and enjoyable.

I recommend this treasure to all Star Trek fans, and I invite you to let me know of other such gems, regardless of series. These are talented performers in and out of Star Trek, as I am sure we would all agree.

No one can figure out why this was not included on the DVD. All praise to YouTube.

I don't know if it's allowed to post fanart, so forgive me if I break any rules of this com :)

I'm pretty new at this fandom, only watched the first season so far, but loved every second of it, and naturally I had to draw something.

Uhura is such a darling!

TOS/TNG icons

[Feb. 17th, 2008|01:39 pm]

so_out_of_ideas

Going through a bit of a nostalgia streak and ended up making a ton of icons. Then I had no internet access, so I ended up posting about a month or so worth of icons at once on my graphics comm. Also a couple of older posts that I hadn't shared anywhere else yet. I'm making one post to communities with updates listed and linked to. Sorry the post is long; there are a lot of icons and I had to break them into several batches to post.

What do you consider canon?

This has been bothering me for a week now.

On the Star Trek yahoo!group there was a discussion about whether it was possible to have a human/Vulcan hybrid, so I posted the 'interview' Gene Roddenberry did with 'Ambassador Sarek' (Mark Lenard) in 1976, which talks about the origins of Spock.

SAREK: "... I will say, that Humans and Vulcans mate in... somewhat similar fashion--in quite a similar fashion. But physical contour, mass, duration and energy do vary. Since we are deprived of our reason, during this time, the rest depends upon the woman. Not just her strength, but also her wisdom. Her patience."

GENE: "And Spock was the result. The first Human-Vulcan mixture."

SAREK: "No, not the first. But the first to survive. As you must know, an Earth-Vulcan conception will abort during the end of the first month. The fetus is unable to continue life once it begins to develop its primary organs. The fetus Spock was removed from Amanda's body at this time--first such experiment ever attempted. His tiny form resided in a test tube for the following two Earth months, while our physicians performed delicate chemical engineering, introducing over a hundred subtle changes that we hoped would sustain life. At the end of this time, the fetus was returned to Amanda's womb. At the ninth Earth month, the tiny form was again removed from Amanda, prematurely by Vulcan standards, and spent the following four months Vulcan term pregnancy in a specially designed incubator. The infant Spock proved surprisingly resilient--there seems to be something about the Earth-Vulcan mixture, which created in that.. tiny body.. a fierce determination to survive."

("Sarek's Son Spock", 'Inside Star Trek' 1976. - the audio file of the 'interview' is also there)

It was immediately dismissed as 'non-canon', even 'anti-canon' as it conflicts with ST: V (and apparently I've disrespected the list by suggesting it could be considered canon as the creator happened to write it)... so obviously including tv series and films, what do you consider to be canon? I generally consider canon as everything we seen on-screen plus things that the creator tells us (or people like D.C Fontana). For example, it's not said in the Harry Potter books that Dumbledore is gay yet this is canon because the writer told us.

Is McCoy having a daughter canon, since it was written into the show 'bible' but never appeared in an episode?

Was Robert April the first captain of the Enterprise (NCC-1701)?

Even though the animated series has been declared 'non-canon', events of 'Yesteryear' are referenced in 'Unification Part I' (TNG, series 5)... can 'Yesteryear' be then considered canon?

In 'Sarek' (TNG, series 3) Picard says about Perrin that "like his first wife, she is from Earth." - does that conflict with ST: V? (You could argue that Picard wouldn't know about the whole Vulcan priestess marriage... unless they weren't married and it was a indiscretion on Sarek's part).
