After being helped several times with my various community issues by our kind site-runner, I would like to make a useful donation at this time. Oy, but there seems to be a problem:

Now, I use an add-on in Chrome called "uMatrix," which is a script-blocker. This add-on forces me to hand-enable whatever necessary java-scripts there might be on sites, but it's not perfect. Okay, fine, so in Ko-fi's case, I wound up having to turn the tool completely OFF in order to get to the final payment-step, for anyone reading who had issues with such.

Now, to the final step:
My donation / pay options are evidently these: iDEAL, Bancontact, Przelewy24 and EPS.

New problem: I have utterly no idea what those are.
Is there a way then to donate via PayPal, perhaps?

EDIT: Sorry, I guess this should have gone in "Support." Please do move as necessary.

At one point Dunn was considered by Gene Roddenberry for the part of Spock in The Cage. He was also originally considered for the role of Balok in The Corbomite Maneuver, but that part eventually went to Clint Howard. (source: These Are the Voyages)

Me, I really enjoyed Michael's work on this ep, as well as on Wild, Wild West, in which he evidently appeared ten times across four seasons!

In his lone appearance on Star Trek, he played Alexander to perfection, a chronically-abused 'runt-of-the-litter' who famously turns the tables on his abusers.

Sadly, he seems to have lived in constant pain across his life due to physical problems, ones which ultimately killed him at 38yo. This dude was an absolute boss as I reckon it.

I'm going with William Windom:

Finally, one of the most nail-biting scenes ever:

Personal notes: across all TV and media, I've rarely seen a character go from totally sympathetic, to total heel-turn villain, to total martyr like that.

In terms of ST series, maybe Dukat from DS..?

Runner-ups?

• Mark Lenard as the Romulan commander

• Robert Walker as "Charlie X"

• Roger C. Carmel as "Harry Mudd"

Daggit, I know I'm forgetting some actors, here...

Looks like it hasn't been posted here yet, so... I'll do the deed.

CONTEXT: the original version was evidently made for an ailing Gene Roddenberry's birthday, and later appeared on the Season 5 DVD. Later, it appears that a fan took the original and tweaked it up a bit, adding music, and producing the crazy masterpiece in the link. I believe there's also a 'behind the scenes' segment with more info, but I wasn't able to find that just now.

And... that's all I know!
Feel free, anyone else, to provide more context / background info. 😊

At turns fascinating, insightful, heartbreaking, heartwarming, infuriating and even savage, it's certainly the most interesting ST-themed interview I've ever watched / listened to.

For me, it also tied various ST lore and insider info together (thanks, Memory Alpha!), especially DC Fontana's book, which I recall as being pretty scathing when it came to Gene Roddenberry. But after watching this two-parter, I get the sense Gene's lawyer and the network itself had a pretty disastrous, and even cruel influence on the "Great Bird of the Galaxy."

Part two is here:

Get the heck out, could you please?
Or not...?

His birth father died when Brent was less than a year old, so he took his adopted father's name "Mintz" from 1955-1975 before finally reverting back to "Spiner."

AFAIK Spiner wasn't actually a photographer as he claimed, but a stage actor living in NYC at the time. Twelve years after the above appearance, he moved to LA and began playing a recurring character on Night Court, "Bob Wheeler," as well as other roles.

This game show is definitely showing its age, and I do find it amusing that they used not just such an ordinary-looking host, but one who also looked about ready for the retirement home. But he does in fact do a fine job I think, and the show itself has a very interesting premise, one in which a panel must try to pick between two imposters and a genuine person.

Well, this was a whole lot better than I was expecting. Bonus pts for the creator sourcing his green screen reference vid.

I do kinda wonder how many modern SW fans remember the hilarious Naked Gun movies. I guess this might look pretty ridiculous if not.

Title: The Monster that Haunted the Sewers.

Inspector Lestrade (joyfully sarcastic): "Is that your gigantic monster, Holmes? It's just a big rat!"

Watson: (hears something a trifle alarming just behind)

(visual: a giant spider is seen emerging)

Pardon if this doesn't quite belong here. I searched Lemmy explorer for a Holmes community, but saw none. It doesn't quite fit my own community, either (Euro Graphic Novels), so I figured maybe here?

In any case, this little cartoon is by Nicolas Barral, and is part of a bande dessinees series called Ex-Libris, published by Fantasmagories.

Note: if someone wanted to start up a Holmes community on Lemmy, please tag me so I can subscribe, thanks!

For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there's a ways to go in terms of 'critical features,' yeah?

So then, here's two of mine below. What are yours?

• I'd still very much like to HIDE threads I'm not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That's not good, frankly.

• I very much want the ability to create *more* custom streams. On Reddit, those streams are called "MultiReddits," and let me tell you, they rock! For instance, my one "Series" multi-reddit consists of these:

/r/1950sx /r/1960sx /r/andykaufmanx /r/Asterixx /r/blackadderx /r/CoenBrothersx /r/Comics_Studiesx /r/DepthHubx /r/fathertedx /r/FawltyTowersx /r/Flintstonesx /r/FoolUsx /r/HannaBarberaCUx /r/Holmesx /r/InconvenienceStorex /r/jimjefferiesx /r/lettermanx /r/ligneclairex /r/Muppetsx /r/newsradiox /r/OldSchoolCelebsx /r/peeweex /r/pennandtellerx /r/philipkDickheadsx /r/postapocalypticx /r/silentmoviegifsx /r/TheAdventuresofTintinx /r/TheFlintstonesx /r/TNGx /r/tosx /r/venturebrosx

So that's just /one/ of my 12+ stream groups ("MultiReddits"), and I love how one can parse them so specifically by community, you know?

I'd absolutely adore it such functionality could extend to Lemmy / the FV, one day.

• Asterius - Terrific, sprawling, puzzle-ish roguelike, easy to play but with lots of secrets to discover, and a long learning curve to win. (note: I've written a guide with hints, which I'd only recommend using as a last resort)

• Bounty Hunter Space Lizard - Ah, so delicious. It's a fun roguelike, a bit like Pixel Dungeon, but with more condensed runs, and loads of character. As with PD, you'll move through different stages and battle different end-bosses.

(thanks for reading; the other 18 are in the link)
