Podcasts about Grace Lee Whitney

Happy #FirstContactDay! Tonight we discuss the 10th episode where we find the crew halted in space by a giant Rubik's Cube. This was the first regular episode produced after the two pilots and the first to include DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy, Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura (in a yellow uniform rather than red) and Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand.[2] Because episodes were not aired in production order (a trait throughout the entire run of the original series), audiences had already been introduced to these three nine weeks earlier, in the series' debut episode, "The Man Trap".

KIRK'S TOXIC MASCULINITY is unleashed after a transporter accident involving mystery ore from a freezing planet splits him into his Negative Side and Positive Side. This mascara'd drunk sexually assaults Yeoman Rand. Meanwhile, the Positive Side winds up being the passive side and his inaction and softness begins to offend Mr. Spock! It's an episode that only could've been written in the 1960s and it should come as no surprise that its general statement about the darkness inside every man comes from a Twlight Zone writer -- it's a very Twlight Zone message. For your consideration: Bryan and Kristen play Trek Marry Kill with it and see if the episode holds up despite sexual assault, a dog in a dragon costume, and an inexplicable storyline where the ship can't send down a shuttle to rescue Sulu & some redshirts!

We're joined again by our childhood friend Kyle for the second installment of our comparison of actors who appeared on both Batman and Star Trek. On which show did Grace Lee Whitney (King Tut moll Neila vs. Yeoman Janice Rand), Lee Meriwether (Tut kidnapee Lisa Carson vs. planetary security system Losira), Frank Gorshin (the Riddler vs. traitor-tracker Bele), and Sherry Jackson (Riddler moll Pauline vs. improbably sexy android Andrea) turn in the better performance? Then, having pitted two of the same actor's roles against each other, we compare that actor's better performance to that of one of the other actors. Just call us “The Gamesters of Gotham”! Plus, Adam West answers questions from YouTube channel Cinefix in 2014, Bryan Daste's banjo/upright bass/theramin version of the Batman theme, and your mail on the 1966 snarky Saturday Evening Post bat-article! Our complete (?) list of every actor who appeared on both Batman and Star Trek TOS

Today in the podcast, we talk about the Star Trek Continues episode "Divided We Stand" which sees Kirk and McCoy living out something of a nightmare in the American civil war. And we discuss what the mysterious nanites might represent in the greater world of Star Trek. ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd.   This is episode 99 of the podcast. Today, we're talking about the Star Trek Continues episode “Divided We Stand.” And if you'd like to check out some of my original science fiction, head over to AdamDavidCollings.com/books   I recently appeared as a guest on the Yum Yum Podcast with fellow Australian nerds, Ryan and Rachel, discussing the Babylon 5 episode “Ceremonies of Light and Dark.” If you love Babylon 5, as well you should, be sure to check out the episode, and all the other stuff that Ryan and Rachel do at Yum Yum Podcast.   The description on IMDB reads After an explosion on the bridge resulting from a failed attempt to isolate the ship's computer from a nano-virus, Kirk and McCoy wake up to find themselves in the middle of one of America's bloodiest conflicts.   The teleplay was written by Marc Cushman & Susan Osborn With story by Vic Mignogna and additional material by Todd Haberkorn It was directed by Vic Mignogna And it first aired on the 25th of September 2015.   This episode was dedicated to the memory of Grace Lee Whitney. Another of Star Trek's veterans who sadly passed away during the making of this show.   This one gets right into the action, making good use of the captain's log to skip past all the setup and throw us right in the thick of the crew's trouble. The Enterprise computer has been infected with a virus, or as Kirk calls it, a pathogen, a term I haven't heard in computer science before. This happened when they tried to make contact with an old Earther probe called Friendship 3. This is significant, because, as you may remember, Voyager once encountered the predecessor - Friendship 1 - in the Delta Quadrant.   What makes this pathogen interesting is that it is of a much more advanced technology than the primitive earth probe. It is quickly migrating through the entire ship, Spock's library computer, scotty's engineering specs.    Spock doesn't think this is a virus, and it's not singular. He says he detects hundreds of thousands of microscopic objects. So…are we talking actual physical objects? He's also seeing evidence of high-level intelligence.   McCoy shows a startling lack of awareness as he casually arrives on the bridge and berates Kirk for not keeping his medical checkup appointment. Now if the circumstances were different, McCoy would be well within his rights, but it's very obvious that the bridge crew are in the middle of a crisis. Kirk clearly has a good reason for missing his appointment and this is not the time or place to hassle him about it. That time will come later, of course.   The intelligence of whatever is invading the ship is growing.   As the bridge controls overload, Kirk finds himself in a very unexpected place and time. He's on a primitive battlefield, surrounded by men firing rifles, and wearing unfamiliar uniforms.   This scene marks “Divided We Stand” as the first episode of Star Trek Continues to take us off the ship. If you think about it, the last four have all taken place on board the Enterprise.   If I'm not mistaken, this is the American civil war. Is this a holographic simulation? A fantasy created by a being like Trelane? In Star Trek, there are many possibilities, but in their shoes, time travel wouldn't be my first thought. I mean, what could have caused it right? So Kirk and McCoy would be feeling understandably disoriented and confused. But, they're in uniform, which means they're expected to fight. At the very least, they can't just sit here and wait for the bullets. They may have to play along until they figure out what the go is. But they wisely manage to remove themselves from the situation to avoid taking any rash actions they may not be able to undo.   They wisely also choose to treat this as real, and not take any unnecessary risks.   Now, you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge about his particular event in history. Oh, I know the basics. North vs South. I believe it was primarily fought over the issue of slavery, although they may be more to it? I imagine American audiences would be able to tell immediately by looking at their uniforms, which side Kirk and McCoy are meant to be on. At this point in the story, I haven't figured that out yet.   The interesting thing is, it seems that they are both on different sides. Now THAT could make things interesting.   And it was cool to see Dr. M'Benga in this episode. It's only logical for him to step up and take on the role of chief medical officer while McCoy is missing. I believe M'Benga only appeared in two episodes of the original series, although he is, of course, a series regular on Strange New Worlds. At the time of recording, I still have no idea why, although he was chief medical officer under pike, he seems to have been demoted by TOS. I mean, he's still serving on the Enterprise but McCoy is chief. So what happened? Strange New Worlds is gonna have to address that at some point.   At first it seems strange that Spock is asking M'Benga about the computer virus. Why would  you have a medical doctor assess a computer problem? Then we pan over and see Kirk and Bones unconscious in bio-beds, their faces pale. Whatever has infected the ship has also infected their bodies.   I think this episode is lacking some precision of terminology when it comes to what we are dealing with. From what I gather, this isn't a computer virus, which is simply a self-perpetuating piece of software with malicious intent. It's some kind of swarm of small physical objects that are interfering with the computer somehow, but also invading Kirk and McCoy's bodies.   M'Benga can't prevent the spread of these things in the human bodies, he can only slow it, but in a day or two, they'll be dead.   So, what we can gather so far is that despite the episode descrition, we're not dealing with time travel here. We're dealing with some kind of mental projection from an alien entity.   Kirk refers to McCoy as a southern gentleman, so I gather his uniform is from the south. But then again, McCoy himself IS southern, so Kirk could be referring to that. A group of Kirk's team find them. They assume McCoy is Kirk's prisoner, at least until they notice Bones still has his weapon.   The leader of this group is pretty aggressive toward McCoy, but then, this is war. He takes Kirk's word for it a little too easily when he pretends to be a famous Kirk from the time, especially given his uniform has the wrong rank.   The leader is shot by a sniper on the other side. And we get verbal confirmation that McCoy's uniform is confederate, which I believe is the south. Kirk wants to bury the confederate sniper. The northerners are hesitant. Afterall, he's the enemy.   Kirk tries to preach the virtue of having compassion for all people, even one's enemies, but they're not very interested.   It's hard to judge them too harshly. Kirk is correct, of course, but it's not easy to have compassion on somebody who just killed one of your own - probably a friend.   McCoy could easily save this wounded soldier's life with 23rd century technology, but it'll be a challenge with period instruments. But I don't think it's just technology. A doctor of the time could probably do a lot more because they're familiar with the equipment.   McCoy raises the typical time travel problems. What if man is supposed to die and they heal him, or what if he was supposed to live, but by being here, they caused him to get shot? Being in the past is very risky. Of course, they don't know that they're not actually in the past. They have to treat this as if it's real.   Like the previous episode, this one had new music composed by Andy Farber and performed by the STC Orchestra.  Back in the original series, they didn't write all new music for every episode. Each season, they'd record some new music cues to add to the toolbox, and a music editor was apply them to the scenes of episodes, But when something big, special, or out-of-the-box happened, they'd write specific new music for it.   That's kind of how they did this episode. With all the civil war stuff going on, this episode really cried out for new original music. They re-used stuff where appropriate, but created new stuff where it was needed.   Some really interesting trivia. They used the melody of Uhura's song about Charlie, in the episode Charlie X, but that melody actually dates back to the American Civil war. It was a folk song about union volunteer soldiers. In this episode, it becomes Billy's theme.   Spock and Scotty have found a way to draw the alien presence out of the Enterprise computer. It's attracted to new sources of information. They can lure it into a backup module and then jettison it.   I'm a little shocked that Spock chose to destroy the jettisoned objects with the phasers. Yes, they were an infestation that caused problems to the ship, but there was also evidence that collectively, they represented an intelligent lifeform. It doesn't seem very Starfleet to just blow them up. Once removed from the ship, they were no longer an immediate danger.   In any case, the ship is safe. Now they've just got to save Kirk and McCoy.   The northerner doctor doesn't care about uniforms, he is just happy to have another set of hands to help the wounded. And as a doctor, McCoy is willing to help whoever is in medical trouble, regardless of who they are.   Spock clearly values McKenna's services. He knows that this will be a stressful time for the crew, with the captain and doctor incapacitated. But he naturally assumes he is immune. McKenna not-so-subley makes it clear she is available to him as well.   It raises the question of Vulcan mental health. Vulcans have emotions, strong ones, so it would seem that counselling and psychology would be needed, and a logical people would understand their importance. But because of their mental disciplines, Vulcans are so good at suppressing their emotions. They don't let themselves be controlled by their emotions.   Does this negate the need for counselling? For a human, to suppress everything you're feeling is not healthy, but Vulcans aren't humans.   Doctor M'Benga has discovered something interesting. While their bodies are still, he is detecting high levels of neural activity in Kirk and McCoy, very unusual for patients in a coma. And they spike at the same time, showing that they're linked. He's well on the way to uncovering what's actually going on here.   Checkov has found that at the time the computer was shut off, the entity was reviewing a particular battle in the American Civil war, as part of its analysis of Earth history. So while they don't have solid evidence, the Enterprise crew have pretty much figured out what is happening to Kirk and McCoy.   One of the soldiers is no longer sure what he's fighting for.  Just to free some slaves? He doesn't know the victims of slavery so it doesn't feel personal to him. Kirk suggests that they're all slaves to something, and this war is about freedom for all.    They're all having doubts. One of them wants to be there for the birth of his grandchild, but instead, he's here taking lives. And he's right to see that as a tragedy. But Kirk explains that what they do here will be remembered. He knows this as a matter of historical fact. They can't understand that, of course. So his words fall flat for them.   I'm really struck, in this scene, just how much Vic looks like William Shatner. It's almost uncanny.   Bones is horrified by the brutality of it all. The wounds, the lack of proper anaesthetic. It all feels barbaric to him. But it's not about technology, it's about the human suffering he's seeing.   Kirk blames himself. If he'd gone to his physical, McCoy wouldn't have been on the bridge. But as I said, in this case, he had a good reason. But I like what Bones says back to him. “The only thing worse than being stuck here with you, is you being here all by yourself.” Now that's friendship.   McCoy raises an uncomfortable reality. It's one thing for him to be saving lives, even lives that history says should be dead, but tomorrow, Kirk has to go onto the battle field and kill people. He can't do that.   Despite that, he's on the front line with the other men. Kirk has formed quite a bond with Billy, the young kid fighting for the first time.    I've got to give it to this episode, the scale is something else. The many actors, the horses, the canons. For a period piece like this to be done on a fan production's budget is very impressive.   Kirk was fighting, but he's badly wounded. I wonder if that's because he held back from doing his best in an attempt not to kill. With the equipment of the day, all Bones can do is amputate Kirk's leg below the knee. That's a pretty big deal. We know that even in the 24th century, Star Trek medicine can't just magically grow back a limb. Nog was given an artificial leg in Deep Space Nine. This is a loss Kirk is going to have to live with for the rest of his life, if this were real, of course, which we know it's not, but Kirk and McCoy don't.   Can you imagine what it would feel like to have your leg cut off with a saw, when all you have for pain relief is a piece of wood to bite down on?   I can't. The thought absolutely horrifies me.   Even if it's not real, the pain Kirk experiences is real. But it's even worse. M'Benga finds that back on the Enterprise, Kirk's real leg is dying. I'm not even going to try to make sense of that. There's no reason that should be a thing, so let's just accept that and move on.   M'Benga has managed to extract one of the pathogen objects. Turns out they're nanites. Not a big surprise. The episode was clearly leaning in that direction.   Spock has an idea. They can help Kirk and McCoy the same way they cleared the Enterprise computer. Shut down their brain functions temporarily to starve the nanites, then lure them away with a trail of new information sources.   M'Benga can do it for a very limited time, but the while feasting on a biological brain, the nanites might not be tempted by an inorganic source. They need something cybernetic. Nurse Chaspel suggest a prosthetic limb. There's a crewmember with a bio-mechanical arm but confidentiality prohibits her from disclosing who it is. But with the captain and doctor's lives at stake, Spock asks her to forgo her principles. The ideal way to handle this would be to approach the crewmember privately and ask if they were willing to help, but what if they said no?   Another thing you wouldn't normally see in a fan production is a practical effect for a soldier missing half his arm. It's just a background detail, but it's another example of this show's professionalism.   Billy is in bad shape. Not physically, the bullet just grazed his head, but emotionally, he's suffering from what was once called shell shock, a form of PTSD. McCoy doesn't blame him.   Turns out, when the shooting started, he turned and ran, crashing into a tree. Now he feels like a coward. Kirk's words touched him last night, but he's questioning it all. He noticed that Kirk didn't shoot anyone.   Kirk can't properly explain his reasons for not firing, but he can say  that his freedom was taken away. Taken by the alien entity. Once again, Kirk tries to inspire Billy. When Spock explains the situation to Lieutenant Drake, he's quick to volunteer his cybernetic arm.    I was confused when M'Benga said that if this fails, he'll lose all three of them. Kirk, McCoy, and Drake. So …. Why would they lose Drake? Are they not just going to remove his arm and use it as a tool? Worst case scenario, he doesn't get his arm back. And he has to wait until a new one can be made for him, maybe on a Starbase.   But apparently, Drake's arm cannot be removed. He's sitting there in a chair between the biobeds holding a device. So….I guess that means there's a risk the nanites could enter Drake's body.    Kirk must have been asleep for some time. When he wakes, Billy isn't in the next bed anymore. Turns out that Kirk's words had a big impact on him. When all hope seemed lost, Billy led the charge, inspiring the other men to fight for freedom. He lost his life in that battle.   I think Kirk is feeling both proud and guilty. It was his words that led that boy to his death. That's got to be a heavy thing to live with.   When someone announces that the president is here, Kirk jumps out of bed onto his crutches, despite his injuries. He doesn't want to miss the chance to see a famous historical figure like Abraham Lincoln. Although, he's already met him once. That was a pretend Lincoln, of course, manufactured by aliens, but then, so is this one. Kirk just doesn't know it yet.   There's a historical photo I've seen of Lincoln talking to some soldiers outside a tent. The staging of this shot looks very similar to that photo, and at the end of the scene, we see someone taking a photo. So I'm assuming this was meant to be the moment in history when that real photo was taken. It's pretty special for Kirk to be there. McCoy points out that while Kirk only has one leg, he still has purpose, and that can allow him to stand just as tall. M'Benga successfully draws the nanites out of Kirk and McCoy, then gives them stimulants. Their skin returns to normal colour. Drake is escortedto the transporter room for some reason. It's still not clear exactly how this whole plan is working. But I think the nanites are not so much in Drake's artificial arm, as they are in the device he was holding.   Except when Drake enters the bridge to see Kirk, he's missing the arm. So …… I'm really confused. None of this was clear to me.   McCoy points out there could be more of the nanites out there. Kirk says God help anyone who encounters them.   This sounds like the episode is suggesting the nanites might be something we've seen before.   The obvious place my mind goes is the Borg. We know they use nanoprobes. The Enterprise wasn't assimilated, and neither were Kirk and McCoy, but their skin did go gray. So maybe these are early Borg nanoprbes. I'm sure they had less sophisticated ways of assimilating before they developed nanotechnology properly. Perhaps in Kirk's time, they've only recently assimilated that technology and have yet to perfect it.   It's all speculation, of course, But that's half the fun of science fiction.   I felt the script was a little lacking in this one, when compared to the previous 4 episodes. Some things weren't explained as well as they could have been. But it was still a good story. And the production with all those extras, costumes, location shooting, was very well done.   This is hardly a bad episode, just not as the good as the ones that have preceded it. But still well worth watching.   Next time, on what will be our 100th episode, we'll be talking about a special episode that gives us some practical creature effects, and a special guest appearance by an Australian actress of Farscape fame.   I'll see you for Come Not Between the Dragons.   Until then, have a great two week Live long and Prosper Make it so.  

Jeremy Roberts, Cmdr. Valtaine from Star Trek VI and Voyager Very few actors in Star Trek can reprise a role they did from one series to another, let alone a role that debuted in a film. Jeremy Roberts is one of those rare people who first played Commander Valtaine in the sixth Star Trek film serving on Captain Sulu's Excelsior. Roberts reprised the role for the third season Voyager episode "Flashback," working again with George Takei and this time Kate Mulgrew and Tim Russ. Roberts literally followed a dream to become an actor. We learn all about his unusual path towards performing, his first gig on "Hooperman" with John Ritter, working on "Murder, She Wrote," "Sister Act," "Diagnosis Murder," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "The Mask" with Jim Carrey, his celebrity run-ins with John Wayne and Frank Gorshin, and an embarrassing day on the set of Xena. And of course, plenty of Trek talk as we discuss his on-set memories of George Takei, Grace Lee Whitney, and his time on Star Trek VI and Voyager, along with his third role as a Jem'Hadar soldier in the DS9 episode, "Hippocratic Oath," which was a bit of a nightmare since he was incredibly sick during filming! Jeremy has had quite a career, and we dig deep in this episode to find out all about it!

We continue our "Best of the Doctors" series by looking into the happenings on Earth 2 and the race to cure a virus that affects all GRUPS. Captain Kirk kicks up the charm in a race against time to find a cure for the virus that has now affected him and the away team. Join in as we review Star Trek: The Original Series, Miri.

But that's only if we're talking about American television. Great Britain was ahead of the United States in this department by almost a decade. Rebecca asks when the "first consensualinterracial kiss" (kiss between dark skinned and light skinned actors) aired on American TV, since the Uhura/Kirk kiss was technically coerced by way of alien mind control in this particular episode. That's a harder question to answer. With these qualifiers, I couldn't find documentation of the "second interracial kiss" or the "first consensual interracial kiss." (If anyone out there has more on this, I'd be very interested to know the answer). Wikipedia has a fascinating entry on televised interracial kisses, documenting earlier examples (than the Uhura/Kirk kiss) of kisses between Asian and white actors and Hispanic and white actors (all light skinned actors) and examples on British television of kisses between actors with dark and light skin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_interracial_kiss_on_televisionTribe of Creepy Children: It's interesting to note that the actor who plays Jahn, Michael J. Pollard, was 27 at the time. He was pretty short, so he was able to play a teenager throughout his 20s. He played a lot of memorable side characters, including CW Moss in Bonnie and Clyde (which came out in 1967). He was in lots of other movies and shows, like Dick Tracey and Scrooged and Roxanne, the Steve Martin movie. You can google him.  The other kids are mainly the children of actors in Star Trek: William Shatner's daughters Lisabeth and Melanie, Grace Lee Whitney's son Scott, Vincent McEveety's son Steven, and Gene Roddenberry's daughters, Darleen and Dawn. Two other children, Phil and Iona Morris, were the children of Mission Impossible actor Greg Morris, and they later appeared in other Star Trek shows. Phil Morris was in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock in a bit part and then was a guest star on Babylon 5, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. Iona Morris was in a 2 part episode of Voyager but is mainly known as a voice actor. She was the voice for Storm in the animated X-Men series and in Spider Man: the Animated Series. 

De pensar que o filme de hoje foi inspirado em uma história real, mais precisamente um massacre encomendado por Al Capone. Alguns gostam disso quente, é verdade! O nome original do filme é  "Some Like It Hot"  "Some Like It Hot" é um filme americano de comédia romântica em preto e branco de 1959 dirigido e produzido por Billy Wilder, estrelado por Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis e Jack Lemmon. O elenco de apoio inclui George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Joan Shawlee, Grace Lee Whitney e Nehemiah Persoff. O roteiro de Wilder e I. A. L. Diamond é baseado em um roteiro de Robert Thoeren e Michael Logan do filme francês de 1935 Fanfare of Love. O filme é sobre dois músicos que se vestem de travesti para escapar dos bandidos da máfia que testemunharam cometendo um crime (inspirado no Massacre do Dia dos Namorados). "Some Like It Hot" estreou com sucesso comercial e de crítica e é considerado um dos maiores filmes de todos os tempos. O filme recebeu seis indicações ao Oscar, incluindo Melhor Ator, Melhor Diretor e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado. Em 1989, a Biblioteca do Congresso o selecionou como um dos primeiros 25 filmes para preservação no Registro Nacional de Filmes dos Estados Unidos por ser "culturalmente, historicamente ou esteticamente significativo". Foi eleito o melhor filme de comédia pelo American Film Institute em sua lista na pesquisa 100 Years ... 100 Laughs da AFI em 2000 e foi eleita a melhor comédia de todos os tempos em uma pesquisa com 253 críticos de cinema de 52 países realizada pela BBC em 2017.   O filme foi feito na Califórnia durante o verão e outono de 1958.   Muitas cenas foram filmadas no Hotel del Coronado em Coronado, Califórnia, que apareceu como o "Seminole Ritz Hotel" em Miami no filme, uma vez que se encaixava na era dos anos 1920 e estava perto de Hollywood. Havia muitos problemas com Marilyn Monroe, que tinha falta de concentração e era viciada em comprimidos. Ela estava constantemente atrasada para definir e não conseguia memorizar muitas de suas linhas, com média de 35–40 tomadas para uma única linha, de acordo com Tony Curtis.  A frase "Sou eu, Sugar" demorou 47 tomadas para ficar correta porque Monroe continuava a errar na ordem das palavras, dizendo "Sugar, sou eu" ou "It's Sugar, me". Tony Curtis e Jack Lemmon fizeram apostas durante as filmagens sobre quantas tomadas ela precisaria para acertar.  Três dias foram programados para filmar a cena com Shell Jr. e Sugar na praia, já que Monroe tinha muitas falas complicadas, mas a cena foi concluída em apenas 20 minutos.  A treinadora de atuação de Monroe, Paula Strasberg, e o marido de Monroe, Arthur Miller, tentaram influenciar a produção, o que Wilder e outros membros da equipe consideraram irritante.  Billy Wilder falou em 1959 sobre a filmagem de outro filme com Monroe: "Eu discuti isso com meu médico e meu psiquiatra e eles me disseram que estou muito velho e muito rico para passar por isso novamente."  Mas Wilder também admitiu: "Minha tia Minnie sempre seria pontual e nunca atrasaria a produção, mas quem pagaria para ver minha tia Minnie?"  Ele também afirmou que Monroe desempenhou seu papel maravilhosamente.  A icônica linha de encerramento do filme "Ninguém é perfeito" está em 78º lugar na lista do The Hollywood Reporter das 100 linhas de filmes favoritas de Hollywood, mas nunca deveria estar na versão final. Diamond e Wilder o colocaram no roteiro como um "espaço reservado" até que pudessem pensar em algo melhor, mas nunca o fizeram.  Mais informações sobre cursos e palestras sobre teatro e cinema : no site do Ricardo Napoleão

Star Trek and Sexual Assault, Part 1. In 2017, the #MeToo movement brought stories of sexual assault and harassment to the forefront of public consciousness. Some of the key figures in the campaign are part of the Star Trek family—most notably Ashley Judd and Anthony Rapp. Their willingness to share their stories played a major role in bringing many uncomfortable truths to light, particularly in relation to appalling behavior in the entertainment industry. But Star Trek is not itself immune from such shocking stories, as anyone who has read Grace Lee Whitney’s autobiography will know. The circumstances surrounding Janice Rand’s disappearance from The Original Series more than 50 years ago offer a sobering glimpse at the treatment of women by powerful men in Hollywood. In this episode of Primitive Culture, the first of a two-part discussion of sexual assault in Star Trek, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Clara Cook for a look at some of the links between the franchise and the #MeToo movement. We also speak to Marina Sirtis about her own experiences as a young actress working in Hollywood in the 1980s, and some of the difficult storylines she performed as Deanna Troi. Tune in next week for Part 2 of the conversation as we explore the various ways—some literal and some allegorical—in which Star Trek has presented these important issues on screen.

Hatalmas játszótérré változott a Föld poszt-apokaliptikus másolata, miután a felnőttek az örök élet utáni kutatás közben felszámolták magukat. A háromszáz éve randalírozó gyermektársadalom napjai meg vannak számlálva: a serdülők sohasem érik el az alkoholfogyasztás korhatárát, és a korábbi időkből fennmaradó élelem is fogytán van. Az Enterprise fertőzött leszállócsapata kizárólag a gyermeki mivoltát éppen maga mögött hagyó Miri közreműködésére számíthat. Hírszekció: - Isten éltesse Karl Urbant (Dr. McCoy, Kelvin), Zachary Quintot (Spock, Kelvin), Jason Isaacset (Lorca, DSC), Malcolm McDowellt (Dr. Soran, Nemzedékek), James Darrent (Vic Fontaine, DS9), Suzie Plaksont (K'ehleyr, TNG), Gary Grahamat (Soval, ENT), Anthony Montgomeryt (Mayweather, ENT), és Nikki Coxot (Sarjenka, TNG). - Patrick Stewart úgy érzi, hogy jó oka lesz megtekinteni a Discovery folytatását, a széles mosolyból pedig arra következtetünk, hogy olyan dolgot tud, amit mi még nem, de az is előfordulhat, hogy egyszerűen csak hecceli a rajongókat. - Mennyire ismerjük a Csillagflottát és a Föderációt? Hogyan védi meg magát a bolygóközi szövetség anélkül, hogy katonai ereje fenyegetővé válna? - Az Óceánok Világnapján Jeri Ryan (Hétkilenced, VOY) többször használatos szívószálak beszerzésére buzdít, Michelle Yeoh (Georgiou, DSC) pedig az újrahasznosításról beszél. - Hosszabb lesz és több programból fog állni az Űrszekerek második közösségtalálkozója a Vault 51-ban, a június utolsó napjára eső rendezvényről Ádámmal beszélgetünk. A kibeszélő tartalmából (16:10): - A Miri volt Grace Lee Whitney utolsó leforgatott epizódja az eredeti sorozatban, de a sugárzási sorrend miatt párszor még látni fogjuk a színésznőt. Vajon milyen lett volna a Star Trek, ha Rand segédtiszt állandó szereplő marad? - Miri bolygója tökéletes másolata a saját anyabolygónknak: vajon hogyan kerül az Enterprise elé egy szakasztott ugyanolyan bolygó, mint a Föld? - A legyek ura az űrben: milyen társadalmat hoznak létre a gyerekek, hogyha a felnőttek végleg eltűnnek a képből? - A gyermekszereplők megjelenítése sokszor rizikós vállalásnak bizonyult a Star Trek történelmében, ugyanis ritkán sikerült jól. - Egy egész világon végigsöprő fertőzés bemutatása Az Androméda törzs mozgóképes bemutatkozása előtt: a Star Trek első szezonja élen jár a scifi témák televíziós megjelenítésében.

Az Enterprise felderítőcsapata egyszarvú kutyákat talál az Alfa 177 felszínén, de a sziklákon megcsúszó geológus olyan anyagot juttat a transzporterbe, ami megkettőzi a felsugárzó Kirköt: a meghibásodás miatt bolygón rekedő csapat -120 fokban várja a döntésképtelen kapitány intézkedését, miközben egy agresszív módon randalírozó alteregóval is számolni kell a fedélzeten. Az aktuális elemzésben a The Enemy Within című epizód. Hírszekció: - Május 18-án lenne 72 éves Andreas Katsulas, a Babylon 5 felejthetetlen G’kAr nagykövete. A színész Az új nemzedékben is többször feltűnt, méghozzá a romulán Tomalak szerepében. Május 20-án pedig John Billingsley, az Enterprise Phlox dokija ünnepelte a születésnapját. - Nicholas Meyer egy új Star Trek trilógiát lát maga előtt, az ötlet a Netflix filmek kategóriáját célozná meg. - Ki töltheti be Chekov hiányát a Kelvin idővonalon? A korábbi nyilatkozatok alapján tudjuk, hogy a balesetben elhunyt Anton Yelchin karakterére nem keresnek új színészt, a megüresedett navigátori pozíció azonban mindenképpen egy új vendégszereplőre vár. - A 31-es szekció, ami a Discovery második évadában is tevékeny lesz: a szükséges rossz, amely életben tartja a Föderációt? Ki őrzi az őrzőket? - A Star Trek rajfilmsorozat negyedik részéhez is elkészült a rajongói szinkron: látogatás a nők bolygóján, magyar szöveggel. A kibeszélő tartalmából (20:03): - Grace Lee Whitney felhívta rá a figyelmet, hogy Spock utolsó mondata mérhetetlenül érzéketlen Rand segédtisztre nézve: a Roddenberry-utópia bizonyos esetekben döcögve bontakozik ki a hatvanas években. - A transzporter meghibásodik, de vajon hol vannak az űrkompok? A bolygón rekedt felderítőcsapat krízishelyzetét az eredeti verzió még nem tartalmazta: elhanyagolható mellékszál, vagy fontos drámai kellék? - Kirk a hajónaplóban spoilerezi el az epizód fő mozgatórugóját: a történések megértésében a néző messze a legénység előtt jár. Talán túlzottan is? - A kapitány tekintélye mindennél fontosabb? Spock mindent megtesz, hogy az Enterprise parancsnoka a legénység előtt abszolút tökéletes legyen. - Szemtől-szemben a gépházban: az alteregó felkutatása a kihalt díszletek között akár egy westernfilmben is történhetne.

Grace Lee Whitney was an experienced actress before she came to Star Trek.  She had roles in several movies including Some Like It Hot with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.  She also guest starred on many TV shows in the lat 1950s and early 60s. She was hired to do Star Trek in 1966 as a lead character, not a featured character. In fact, she was one of the first actors signed after Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.  Early publicity photos feature Whitney Shatner and Nimoy together. She was signed to act in 13 episodes and had considered roles in several.  Then, after the episode Conscience of the King, her character Yeoman Rand disappeared and wasn't seen again until Star Trek: The Motion Picture. However, it was on a Friday evening in August 1966 that Whitney says she was sexually assaulted by a NBC executive.  Then four days later, she was informed that her character was being written out of Star Trek.  Her time on the Enterprise was over. The experience started a downward spiral for Grace that lasted nearly 20 years.  She discovered she had an addictive personality, and during these two decades, she gave into them. The story of Grace Lee Whitney's life is one of success, a long fall to the bottom, and then one of redemption as she finally was able to get help and eventually help others.

Star Trek had a large regular cast for its time with seven regular roles.  It also had a group of characters that made more than one appearance and in some cases, then just disappeared.   Some of the faces you see again and again, but we never get to know who they really are.  These include characters like Lt. Kevin Riley, Mr. Kyle and Mr. Leslie.  One character we did get to know pretty well was Yeoman Janice Rand.  But she disappeared suddenly in the first half of the first season. On this episode of 70s Trek, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at actors Bruce Hyde, Booker Bradshaw, John Winston, Bilie Blackburn and Eddie Paskey in Part 1. Next week, we take a look at actor Grace Lee Whitney and her character, Janice Rand.

For some reason, Star trek actors have felt the need to record albums both during and after their tenure on the series. With the help of JD Ryznar from sister podcast Beyond Yacht Rock, Mike, Kim and Matt "Stompie" Thompson play Star Trek Idol with these celestial crooners. Leonard Nimoy, Grace Lee Whitney, Tim Russ, Brett Spiner, Chase Masterson, Avery Brooks and, of course, William Shatner all get sampled, then roasted. But what JD thinks about the theme from Star Trek: Enterprise may SHOCK YOU!

This time, they're focusing in on folks who have passed away that should have gotten more work while they were alive. Grace Lee Whitney, Kevin Smith (the other one) and Don Knotts are among those we employ in the great casting couch in the sky.

This week: McCoy talks to his junk in "Mudd's Women," Kirk goes on the shittiest carnival ride ever in "What Are Little Girls Made of?" and Jake foreshadows how much he hates Nazis. Also a serious discussion of Grace Lee Whitney's biography, her forced exit from the series, and the aftermath. Content warning: adult language, humor, discussion of sexual assault.

Bennett, Part 1: Trek.   On February 25th, 2015, the Star Trek family lost one of its most significant members, Harve Bennett. Bennett is largely responsible for revitalizing the Star Trek film franchise after the creative and financial missteps of The Motion Picture. It is impossible to imagine what Star Trek would look like today, had it not been for the work of Harve Bennett. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John begin a new series on Bennett, looking the television shows he created over a career spanning three decades. In the first part of our series, we examine his work on Star Trek, looking at all of the movies he produced and wrote, including The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, and The Final Frontier. We also remember Grace Lee Whitney.   Running Time: 49 minutes 28 seconds   Hosts Mike Schindler and John Mills     Editor and Producer Mike Schindler   Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen   Associate Producer Become one!

We know that as a writer David Gerrold has always got at least one more interesting story to tell. For his return to Mission Log, we dig deep into the circumstances around the first two seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and what led to David's departure. It's a personal and sometimes difficult look at what makes or breaks a TV show in production. Plus we kick off a new segment by welcoming Larry Nemecek to discuss Discovered Documents from the Roddenberry archive. Visit Larry at  Finally, we take a moment to remember Grace Lee Whitney who played Yeoman Janice Rand.

Did you know they made another Harry Potter? They did! It’s a fitting conclusion to the big saga, as Jeff and Eric convey in this week’s episode of “Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider.” Also terrific is “Winnie the Pooh,” an innocent and whimsical throwback to the old Disney shorts. Jeff reports that “A Better Life” is awfully hard to watch on account of being depressing; Eric reports that “Terri” is a vulgar “Napoleon Dynamite” clone that’s only so-so. There’s also a nice round of Interquel. New QOTW: What movie best represents/symbolizes/encapsulates America? Plus! Portland DVD/Bluray shop Disc E. Business is hosting appearances by Walter Koenig and Grace Lee Whitney from the original “Star Trek” series! They’ll be there signing autographs and stuff on Aug. 20 and 21, and “Movie B.S.” listeners can get a discount on merchandise! Go to DiscEBusiness.net, click “events” and then on the Movie B.S. logo.
