Nerded out this evening with some stupid Trek videos. This Star Trek sitcom would be even better if the editor had spliced together a montage of slow-mo smiling faces for the title sequence, almost like this dork did.

The 16-page first draft of Gene Roddenberry’s pitch for Star Trek.
STAR TREK is a “Wagon Train” concept — built arround characters who travel to worlds “similar” to our own, and meet the action-adventure-drama which becomes our stories. Their transportation is the cruiser “S.S. Yorktown”, performing a well-defined and long-range Exploration-Science-Security mission which helps create our format.

Angelique Pettyjohn was a Star Trek alien babe featured in only one episode in the second season. She was known to attend Star Trek conventions selling posters of herself in and out of costume, answering everyone’s question of whether the carpet matched the drapes.
UPDATE: One note? Bullshit, guys.

Tell me Riker isn’t stealing a glance at that lady in the skant Starfleet uniform. He totally is.
He’d like to reroute the power for his phasers through her navigational deflector, if you know what I mean. I bet she brings his shields up to maximum power. Gets his collar up to four pips. Opens a channel on all of his hailing frequencies. Separates his saucer section and stardrive. Remodulates his shield harmonics. Something about Jefferies tubes. I’m running out of euphemisms.
The sculpture is composed of a series of very familiar characters in the process of beaming up. Spock, Kirk and McCoy are actually made up of semi translucent beads as the close ups here show. When viewed up close the image blurs somewhat but from a distance are almost photographic in their realism.
Captain Kirk in bead form: still smooth.
