i always thought scotty was scottish.

Scotty is Scottish, but James Doohan, the actor who played him in the original Series and first 7 films, was Canadian, hailing from Vancouver, BC.

That clip is solid gold my friend! I was at a convention around 1975 in NYC (age 12), had those blue prints mentioned. When I saw those guys you could tell they treated the show with respect, it just made Star Trek a great phenomenon. I'd have to say it was De Forrest and James, and George, and Nicole who really grew that fan base in the mid 70's because they were the ones who attended those conventions at that time. I hope there is a part two available so I can see this awesome clip some more!

That's awesome. Thanks! You should be able to find parts 2, 3, 4, and 5 either in the "Related Videos" or "More From". This is probably one of the best ST interviews I've ever come across myself.

[memoryiotia]

Amen to that.

If memory serves me, Tom Snyder appeared in Philly's WKYW TV 3 in the mid sixties...wasn't he in the news? Also remember Vince Leonard, and Bill Custer at the weather....good old times in the City of Brotherly Love.

Great Q and A!

De Forest Kelley & Jimmy Doohan - we miss you! RIP

Roddenberry's Trek is still the best, though the spin-offs did a good job of capturing the spirit of his universe. Abrams' universe is a real departure, though, and I fear for the future of Trek.

I went to my first ST con held in LA in, it think 1972 or 73. Mr Kelly was wating to get his car and I and two other people asked if we could get his autograph and he said, sure and even though his car was driven to the front of the hotel the con was at, he talked with us for around 45 mins---I was 21 at the time---very kind person.

bikeboy you and I must be about the same age and I completely agree with you this show had a huge impact on my personality--and my love of women--travel--adventure--curi­osity==etc...and what classy actors this cast had---pretty rare anywhere.........

De and Jim looked very good for guys who where 56 years old.

[Bartman954]

The thing was that they eventually showed the whole five years. The first three was of course, the original series. Years four and five was shown in the animated series.

8:07 JD is quite prophetic!
