YOUTUBE - Hippocratic Oath | Star Trek Fans First Time Watching DS9

You have seen vorta before. Its the purple guys with the weird ears. The middle management

We now start to see that they are changing things up with Worf. On TNG he was a junior office that offered opinions, that usually turned out to be correct, but he had to bite his tongue. Now that he's in a command position, and the one making decisions, we're seeing him start to struggle. While his actions might have been correct by the letter of the law he missed the big picture. And that's the difference between a good soldier and a good commander.

46:00 - knowing you two's fondness for Nicholas Meyer ;) nonetheless, the "who am I (a director) to tell you (an actor) how to do your job" stuff here made me think of one of my favorite TREK behind the scenes stories, from Nicholas Meyer. Meyer said that during the filming of STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN, he didn't get to meet co-star Ricardo Montalban before shooting started, because Montalban was off doing FANTASY ISLAND, and that the day Montalban came in, the first scene they were filming was the scene in the crashed Botany Bay ship, where Khan reveals himself to Chekhov and to us. Meyer said that he decided that he'd film it as a set piece, where he had multiple cameras rolling from different angles and the characters would just play the scene without cuts start to finish. So, Meyer said, Montalban came in, hit all his marks and knew his lines backwards... "but he BELLOWED every line. It was way over the top." So Meyer called CUT and said "Let's take a break" and then walked over to Montalban and said "we haven't had a chance to even chat yet; let's go talk," so they went back to Montalban's trailer, and Meyer said he was sitting there in the dressing room with Ricardo Montalban, who was this veteran character actor with more credits and props than everyone else in the cast combined, "so what do I say to him? Because the way he played the scene was too much." Meyer took a breath and said, "You know, one of my favorite lines from an actor is from Lawrence Olivier, who said 'Never start out by showing the audience your 'top,' because if you start all the way up there, you have nowhere to go but down and you have nothing left to give them.'" Meyer said that Montalban nodded slowly and said, "Ohhhh. So you are going to DIRECT me?" Meyer said from there on they got along great and Montalban was a gem to work with.

QUESTION: Alex: where did you get the shirt with the cat silhouette in the logo? I need to get one of those for my brother...

They appear to have hit their stride…
