Always loved the bit of trivia of Sam Kirk's only appearance in the Original Series was after he died ... and the image they show of him is the actor William Shatner with a moustache

Was the only TOS image I could find of him, that explains it!

There are literally dozens of frames of TOS Sam!

We're taking our time watching The Original Series and I just saw this episode last week ... I was excited to go through the episode expecting to see who the actor would be and see and hear the original Sam Kirk ... then they just mention he dies, show the body being rolled over, it's William Shatner with a moustache for 4 seconds and then that's it, Sam Kirk just appears for that 4 seconds as a dead person. We were very disappointed but at the time, I guess, no one expected any of it to go beyond what they were creating at that moment.

There are a lot of moments like that, where some character will mention something in an offhand comment, and it will become this huge thing in some other series decades later.

Ha! I just saw the ep for the first time and missed that completely. Thanks! Thank you, Sam Kirk. Your stache, the lighting and makeup were very effective. RIP

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
