Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Part 1 of a double feature! Like the last episode of The Outer Limits, this episode had too many good shots and too many Trek connections to fit comfortably in one post. Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "I, Robot," episode 9 of the second season of The Outer Limits (original air date Nov 14, 1964).
Nimoy plays a journalist covering the story of a robot on trial, accused of the murder of his creator. The story has elements of a space-age retelling of Frankenstein, as well as the ethical issues surrounding the creation of artificial life that Star Trek has been exploring for nearly sixty years and human society is still wrestling with today. As Nimoy's character says at the end of the episode, “It's not the end of the story. It's just the beginning.”
Other Trek Connections:
In flashbacks, the scientist who built the robot is played by Peter Brocco, who played one of the Organian elders in the Star Trek episode “Errand of Mercy.”
The scientist's niece, who hires an attorney to defend the robot, is played by Marianna Hill, better known to Star Trek fans as the flirtatious Dr. Helen Noel in “Dagger of the Mind.”
If the Mass Effect tv show staring Henry Cavill as Shepard rumor is true, who would you like to see play Kaidan? They likely wouldn’t make M!Shenko a thing on the show, but we can always dream.
My dream cast for Kaidan is Rafael Silva. Look, he already has the biotic aura thing!
And who wouldn't want to see Rafa and Henry having hot gay sex on a spaceship?
I keep rewatching this video, Ruben is such a bully and really annoying around Bernie (and other players) 😭
I'm always amazed seeing his legs especially on this video, such perfect tanned skin, and he's wearing regular outfit like a normal person too though he's super abnormal with those perfect features
as a stonesdias shipper, do you think he can be annoying too around John? Idk sometimes Ruben seems more mature, sometimes John does
