"The one with the hand". The supposed Greek god Apollo threatens the Enterprise and its crew. Basically it's an exercise on how "gods need attention". It's not terribly deep in that regard, but the pic.twitter.com/OXz32kbDMj

story works. Great costume work by Bill Theiss. Never thought it was ACTUALLY Apollo. Was always waiting for it to be a computer that Kirk could talk down or some alien tech. Scotty's a bit unbalanced. pic.twitter.com/FxxaHXCzDB
We mourn the passing of our friend, actor Michael Forest, who left us this week. Born Gerald Michael Charlebois, the man who played Apollo on Star Trek was 97. Michael indulged me by posing for this photo in 2022.
