The greatest value of YouTube that it serves as an archive for old things.

Until YouTube declares that it's verboten.
Yeah, just wait until all the TOS cast dies, so Viacom, or whomever owns the IP, could just remake the original crew as deepfakes, then the likeness of the cast themselves would belong to the company.
Got any examples? im curious.
Deforest always seemed like a rather wholesome guy. The story's I read of him brushing off his admirers and sticking to his wife were sweet.
Nothing that wasn't anecdotal heresay.
Some say that the Biography written about him, From Sawdust to Stardust: The Biography of DeForest Kelley is a good read.
That's a rog. De's bookis great and Shatners memory books are essential and hilarious stuff.

Her daughter Amy picked up the role in an episode of Star Trek Continues. The resemblance is uncanny.
I do miss the asymmetrical uniforms they wore. Sort of reminds me of the Vorta costume.
So why did they change Sisko's actor to him part way through?
Were romulan people ever revealed in TOS? I don't think they were until TNG IIRC.
They didn't. You're thinking of Voyager.
Yes, they were introduced in TOS. According to canon, the Federation never got a glimpse of the Romulans' faces during the war. They always wore helmets.
Hence why ENT had such a difficult time with the Romulans. They could never share a screen with Archer.
They had at least four different ppl audition , two of which were the leads from the Alien Nation TV show even.
It was way more than that, if Avery can be believed. At a convention appearance (the one with Cirroc and Terry), he says there were a hundred people auditioning from all over the world, including one guy from Belgium. Looks like Sisko was not explicitly written to be black.
Honestly with all of the DS9 cast that seem to be social media spergs , I'm willing to bet Brooks is the sanest one.

I cannot seem to find the "Raw Nerve" episode where Shatner interviews Walter Konenig. If you find it I do recommend watching it as it reveals Shatner was not exactly the diva/asshole we have come to know and love. There is one moment when Walter recollects when Shatner did, in fact go to the writers to give him more lines for quite a few episodes..and they did give him more lines. This meant the supporting cast got mostly or entirely shut out of epsiodes. Walter realized years after that he never spoke up to stop that. Shatner said that he's pretty sure if Walter came up to him and said: "Cut the shit out, Bill" - he would have. But no one spoke up until well after the chance to do so.
That moment was rather illuminating as I suspect Shatner and Brooks had similar takes on the show...
Just something to think about.
I've read similar stories about Doctor Who. Another show with a parade of difficult leading men.
They have to be the big swinging dick on the set, stealing lines, getting drunk, throwing scripts at peoples' heads and calling it "whippet shit." Until finally, one of the co-stars has had it. Louise Jameson is a famous case. Tom tried to bully her off the show. But she grew a spine and told him off in front of everyone. Only then did he show courtesy.
It's a big risk to take. Like, you would never stand up to a middle manager at your shitty-ass job. Nine times out of ten you'd be out on your ass.

Shatner responded to Koneig's take on not saying anything 50 years ago... that most people do not do a 180 turn.. Shatner stated that if Walter had said "cut the shit out, Bill" 50 years ago.. he would have.

If Brooks doesn't use social media, that automatically makes him the sanest one.

No sorry he was a sperg when alive. He was the first star trek actor in fact that I found out was a sperg by simply going on his Twitter account.
