There is no way that that chest is real - maybe for a 25 year old weightlifter, but not for a ~60 year old actor. And if anyone noticed, there was always the convenient "breaks" in his skin so a chest could be attached as unobtrusively as possible - like a heavy, thick necklace, and those things he wore on his upper arms. We discussed this while watching TWOK on the VCR and rewinding - NO WAY. His chest wasn't even close to that developed on Space Seed. 2. There was discussion a few months ago about Star Trek episodes on VHS tapes. Last night on Channel 38 in Boston, there was a commercial offering STIII:TSFS and the first 10 episodes of the series, complete and uneditted. The movie was $29.95 and the shows were a rip-off - $14.95 each! I know that I'll start taping my favorites for myself at approximately $1 per episode (1 tape for 6 episodes approx. Oddly enough said commercial was not shown during Star Trek, when you'd think interest would be at its peak. What's more, Channel 38 doesn't even carry Star Trek. By the way the store that I rent tapes from has a limited selection of episodes to rent, all commercially produced, and they've had them for at least a few months.
