Luckinbill played the older Vulcan half-brother of Spock who was on the hunt for Sha Ka Ree and God. It was said that Sean Connery was up for the role of Sybok, but Luckinbill got it due to his work in a play, Lyndon. “Bill (Shatner) told me that he was watching Public Television one night and he said, ‘That’s the guy to play Sybok.’ They looked me up and they looked at my filmography, without the Lyndon makeup on, and Bill was even more convinced.

R.I.P. Charlie Washburn
4 May 2012 | 5:10 pmAnother veteran of the original series, this time a behind-the-scenes name, has passed off the scene. Charlie Washburn, assistant director during the the second and third years of the program's run, died at age 73 on April 13th of this year. Here is an article written by Mr. Washburn himself, recalling his memories from his time on the show, scanned from the Trek 20th Anniversary issue of Starlog, #112, published in November of 1986. (See the cover to the magazine here.)Here is a great blog post by Larry Nemecek about Charlie that does a good job of eulogizing him.For some odd reason, the… -

1987 Cracked Star Trek IV Spoof
13 Mar 2012 | 12:30 pmFrom the July 1987, issue #228 of Cracked magazine, comes this spoof on "The Voyage Home," published significantly later than when the movie came out, which was in December of 1986. The cover is rendered by Severin (who passed away recently) but the inside art is by Bill Wray, whose style takes humorous caricature over into plain grotesquery. First, the cover, then the spoof.Bonus: from the same issue, a page of Trek Hurry Ups...Bonus: a publicity still of Bones in makeup from "The Deadly Years." He was only slightly more crotchety in this episode.A rare costume test photo for the un-made… -
"Shatner: Then And Now" 1977 Article
6 Mar 2012 | 2:01 pmFrom issue #3 of the "All About Star Trek Fan Clubs" magazine, published in June 1977, comes this loose filmography that features some photos of Bill from his various appearances. The feature runs out of steam quickly, as the last two pages switch to a nonsensical "biorhythms" article that takes up space (we'd learn more from a chart on his bathroom habits), but has some good photos from his "Barbary Coast" stint.The cover art (scanned, as is everything on this site, from my own copy) is about the best the magazine ever featured, in my opinion.(Click on images to enlarge.

REVIEW: Enterprise - Season One - A Voyage Begins
14 May 2012 | 6:26 amEnterprise (later titled Star Trek: Enterprise) had a difficult time during the four years it was on the TV screens. It was produced at a time when Star Trek was at its highest saturation point. It was the fourth spin-off from the original series of Star Trek and by the time it had finished its fourth year, the Star Trek spin-off shows had been on for 18 years. Enterprise was a prequel of sorts to the original Star Trek series. It told the story of the first human warp capable starship that left the confines of the Solar system. The show can be easily be broken down into several parts. The… -
Dark Shadows Movie...Ain't So Bad
14 May 2012 | 6:00 amJonathan Frid at Lockwood Matthews Mansion in Connecticut, Fall 2001. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Dark Shadows, along with Star Trek, kept me interested in something through many of those long hours of pain and unhappiness. True, being so young, I didn’t understand everything that was happening in Dark Shadows then, but it was spooky and there was something about Barnabas Collins that made me feel funny in the pit of my stomach. He was coool in a way no one, except Spock (of course), was coool. When I heard there was going to be a re-make of Dark Shadows in movie format, I was dubious, to… -
