Thanks for the new thread Tracey.

The OP here has really shaped up nicely.

[crazy_diamond]

It has and no problem

[Meliana]

Thanks for this. I've been watching a lot of TOS recently, and it's amazing how often episodes end with Captain Kirk getting into a fist fight with someone.

[crazy_diamond]

It sure is

[Chris]

Yeah, Kirk had no problem getting physical and routinely wound up with a ripped shirt.

[Meliana]

He always did! The stunt doubles made me laugh as they were on screen for so long, you could see they were nothing like the actors! They did it differently in those days!

[Chris]

Yes, they did. Special effects in particular have come a long way.

TYFTNT, Tracey! The OP looks amazing!

Every time I watch classic Trek, I notice Shatner's stunt double, and it's so obvious. Of course, I'm watching the show on a big TV, not a thirteen-incher. I think Shatner's stunt double might have filled in for Bones in "Bread and Circuses," too. It sure looked like the back of his head. But maybe a different stunt double had the same haircut as Shatner's stunt double?

[crazy_diamond]

and I must admit Shatner's acting sometimes got me , basically in the fight scenes...

[Chris]

What about all the 'dramatic' pauses in his speech?

[crazy_diamond]

Oh yes, I forgot about those

[Chris]

Shatner certainly has his own style, but he really brought the character of Kirk alive.

[crazy_diamond]

Certainly did..

In some episodes, they're spectacular ("Why ... must Spock die?"). In others, they're hardly noticeable.
