The Menagerie Part 1 Star Trek Sci-Fi Channel Special Edition Extras

http://www.apieceoftheaction.net/

About 10 years ago, the Sci-Fi Channel acquired syndication rights for the original Star Trek television series. For years, the shows had been cut down to fit the amount of commercial time needed for current day programs (there was less commercial time during the original 60's run). Sci-Fi fixed this problem by making the time slot a full hour and a half. Dubbed "Star Trek The Sci-Fi Channel Special Edition", the episodes would be supplemented with original interviews with the cast and crew discussing each episode. The interviews and extra bits were especially entertaining since it featured more than just the standard cast but also highlighted guest actors, writers, etc.

I taped each and every episode as they aired (even though sometimes I hit record a little late and missed a minute or two). The interviews and extras really are neat, and since I've never seen them on youtube, I decided to dig out the tapes and start grabbing out all of the extra bits. I've found probably 75% of the tapes so far, and I hope to find the rest eventually. I hope it's okay with Sci-Fi if I post these. I'm just trying to get them out there for those who may have missed these years ago....

These are the extra bits from the episode "The Menagerie Part 1". Enjoy, and be sure to subscribe to catch them all. Oh, and if you have time, check out my daily blog on all things Trek: http://www.apieceoftheaction.net/

So, Bill Shatner was a pig towards women? That's not something that comes out at stories they tell at conferences.

I wonder if he tried it with the women playing the Talosians? In costume? Not *quite* sure I want to imagine that.

The story that she tells at 6:50...wow how did that GET in there? Both Roddenberry and Shatner shared this trait of banging everything that was married or not...everything in the vicinity of their dicks. Even Shatner these days can't keep his hands off women on the set. An assistant director told me that his second job on the set of a recent film was both apologizing to actresses and reining in shatner's worst offenses.
