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.”

More to come in Part 2!

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

I've slowly been chipping away at drawing scenes from that imaginary Muppet retelling of the Princess Bride, figured it was about time to share what I've drawn on Tumblr!

honestly the confusion over exactly WHOSE souls got snatched did get me confused for the exact same reasons you said above. Honestly I keep trying to rewrite this and the "plothole" is full of contradictions.

Medic now has 9 souls - so he had to get at least a full team of mercenaries (made up of 8 others) to get that number - and reading the comics it's implied he stole them from his original team, but that still doesn't explain why both Sniper and Scout went to "heaven" because usually only souls would get there? Maybe it was some sort of stasis like in the "Sound of Medicine" MVM short that was released. (I think I saw a post a looooong time ago talking about that)

But as for the "pregnancy" thing, I don't want to give spoilers especially since the reading ahead was accident, but the person who actually got some use out of the baboon uterus was one of the "classic" mercenaries, The Heavy. (You were right!)

Another thing to do with the "pregnancy machine" that Redmond and Blutarch suggested before meeting Gray Mann was that it was for an heir....and in the comic "Ring of Fired" (1st one) Gray Mann shows up with a child. (And asks Saxton Hale to fight them).

How did he get the child?

I would like to think Medic had something to do with it, since a MACHINE was "a crime against nature" in his opinion.

(I realize now I went on a tangent and answered completely 0 questions

google: how to talk to people?)

wait did medic steal everyone souls as the ones he surgically implanted in himself and now the devil has to trick him out of them in 50 years time????
