You saved the ship. You saved us all. Don’t you remember?

So unknown to me until recently, I am now apparently taking Star Trek GIF requests.  Why unknown to me until recently?  Because I did not know I would be doing such until one of my Tumbly-friends sent me such.  LOL.  Hence this set, which is the first requested.

So feel free to send me other such Star Trek GIF requests.  I can not promise if I’ll be able to do them, and if I do it will take me a good week or two before they are posted because I queue everything, but… yeah.  I’ll try!

On that note, check out my prior GIF sets.  They’ve been pretty well liked.  One of them even has over 700 notes! =O

George Takei as Lieutenant Sulu and Walter Koenig as Ensign Chekov in the only publicity still of just the two of them from the Original Series. 

It was also one of the first ‘buddy shots’ that convention organizers started to produce after the multitude of requests they got about such.  In the earlier days of conventions, vendors would produce such knowing the fan desire.  But in the late 1990s Paramount waged war on such ‘unlicensed’ photos and for about a decade, you could only get the handful of photos that got licensed (and usually sucked!)

I’ve always liked such photos.  Thankfully, in the past decade though, if such doesn’t exist of a specific pairing of characters, the company will make such.  Which is how it should be, damnit!  I’d like to take some credit for such, having made numerous requests during the years before they made such, but I imagine it would take more than one annoyingly persistent fan…

Captain Hikaru Sulu, U.S.S. Excelsior.

Little known factoid: Sulu’s promotion to Captain of Excelsior was originally written for “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” before ever seeing said ship.  The scene was even shot - but according to George Takei’s autobiography, Bill Shatner kept giving an even worse-than-normal (or acceptable) performance of said scene.  To that end, it eventually was simply scrapped due to time and budget.

Some might say, “oh, it’s just old colleagues being bitter” when they hear of such nonsense on Shatner’s part.  But if you’ve ever met him, you find it much more believable.  He’s funny on stage or on camera, but absent said spot-light, he’s a prima dona all the way.

The rarest variant Original Series cast photo.  All the other versions of this one where taken from off to the right, with the cast looking ahead off into nothing.  This is the only one of them straight-on on the bridge.

There are more cast photos from Star Trek: The Motion Picture then there are Star Trek feature films.  I could only fit this many into this post.  It really sucks, too, because for some films (like The Voyage Home) we got no cast photo, and for almost all of the other ones we where lucky to get one.  A few of them got two or even three, but not many…

The cast and creators of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.  In addition to Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura, we’ve also got director Leonard Nimoy (who technically did not star in the film; he only appeared in the end scenes and was not in the opening credits) producer Ralph Winter, producer Harve Bennett, and Trek overall Creator Gene Roddenberry.
