Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek Memories video, and that PrimeTime video

Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek Memories video (1983)

This is purely a fluff piece, it is interesting to watch something vintage. One thing that Nimoy doesn't mention is the fact the NBC Network didn't want Spock back for the second pilot because his character looked too demonic.

Part Three: He tells the story about the origins of the Vulcan Salute.

Part Four: The Star Trek The Motion is mentioned here. Nimoy softballs the story about the transition between TMP and The Wrath of Kahn. The studio forced Gene Roddenberry out of his producer duties and brought in Harve Bennett and Nicholas Meyer. The studio demoted Gene to an executive consultant where he couldn’t do anything about the second movie.

Deforest Kelley visits the set of TNG

This is another fluff piece, but it still rather entertaining. I loved the original series, but I felt TNG is a better written and crafted series, mainly because Gene was pushed out of the show and Piller and Berman ran the series much better.

I remember watching this on Primetime live about 20 years ago.

Anyway, here is Dr. McCoy only cameo on the show.

I love the moment when McCoy checks Data's ears for points. And he says, “Androids are almost as bad.”
