Dr. Bellows was a fagolo?
I always felt bad for Dr. Bellows.
“Piper, played by legendary Westerner actor Paul Fix, “
Oh, the doctor from that one episode. Yeah they could have used that character too.
The unseen CMO who died in the reboot was named “Purie” as I recall. Just a stupid contrivance to get McCoy in the job.
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen the LIS movie. I remember thinking it was stupid when Oldman changed into a spider monster. And that Lacey Chabert was cute.
I had a vague recollection of where Dr. Bellows found out the “secret”, but other than letting that happen in a series finale, it would’ve killed the show.
Hayden Rorke’s “spouse”, Justus Addiss, directed many tv shows including some Twilight Zone eps (one of my personal TZ favorites, The Odyssey of Flight 33, he directed).
Re: Paul Fix. It was surprising he was hired, since he was about 65, getting a bit long in the tooth to do an action series (at least 65-year olds of that era) and three decades older than Shatner and Nimoy.
I didn’t remember the name of the unseen CMO in the reboot, though obviously yet another ill-researched gaffe in a long line (including having NuMcCoy with brown eyes, nevermind NuTeenKirk having bright blue eyes, both unforgiveable).
LIS reboot: Yes, Lacey was cute, though Heather Graham was her usual smoking hotness (though she played it as a real bitch), but I couldn’t take Joey Tribiani as Major West. They managed to make all the characters generally unlikeable, in fact, that familial dysfunction likely would’ve been a disqualifier for sending them as a pioneer family into space.
