I feel like we are pals, I'm calling you Ken.<br /><br />Ken, bless you for saying about the third season what so many forget these days! Like the second <i>Highlander</i>, like the <i>Matrix</i> movies after the original, Like the <i>Star Wars</i> prequels, season three of <i>Star Trek</i> was pretty damned sad. Some are memorable, but even the best have a certain cheesy scent.<br /> Prof. Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575880031145705761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247002493176705100.post-85636685017821176022014-10-21T18:05:23.262-07:002014-10-21T18:05:23.262-07:00I was going to pre-emptively vote for Dunn, but I ...I was going to pre-emptively vote for Dunn, but I guess I'll just push for it now. Interracial kissing (Kirk was forced to hold a woman for the first and only time in the series, unless you count the grotesqueries with Yeoman Rand), the hit single from Nimoy's second album ("Maiden Wine"), and a perfectly representative good-thing-they-put-a-stake-in-it third season episode.Ken Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440837287933536370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247002493176705100.post-55113768814132228722014-10-20T12:30:08.913-07:002014-10-20T12:30:08.913-07:00Damn, I forgot to write it in when I finished the ...Damn, I forgot to write it in when I finished the post.<br /><br />Of course, you are correct.<br /><br />My five possible choices are John Anderson from <i>Twilight Zone</i>, Michael Dunn from <i>Star Trek</i>, Rex Ingram from <i>Thief of Bagdad</i>, Anneke Wills from <i>Doctor Who</i> and George Wyner from <i>Spaceballs</i>.<br /><br />That's an embarrassment of riches.<br />Prof. Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575880031145705761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247002493176705100.post-62763791470848739202014-10-20T10:34:53.933-07:002014-10-20T10:34:53.933-07:00The Canadian is Niall Matter, probably best known ...The Canadian is Niall Matter, probably best known for his main-cast role in "Eureka."<br /><br />My vote for next year: John Anderson, a great "Oh That Guy" actor and a 4-time "Twilight Zone" actor. I best remember him as MacGyver's grandpa which, while not genre, had a lot of genre fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
