----Of course, any crew member joining us in this adventure named Ensign Smith is sure to DIE so you might as well start building his casket now.----

Great analysis, sir; that was what I was getting out of it (I never paid much attention to television)--some sort of story with a moral to the effect that we should do what we have to do, rather than what we wish to do, or like to do.
<<never seen any washed up old farts here.
Maybe perhaps possibly not young, or maybe perhaps possibly not redolent of pleasant perfume, but definitely not "washed up."
The difference between a FReeper and a DUmmie is that a FReeper is an optimist, a person full of hope, while a DUmmie wallows in his own swill of regret that his "time" passed more than 30 years ago, and he is rapidly becoming extinct.

Played evil Brewmeister Schmidt in the funniest of all movies, Strange Brew!
It ALWAYS happened. Kirk, Spock, Bones, and an Ensign Smith would beam down to a hostile planet. Guess which one ALWAYS got killed?
Man, no kidding. The themes of responsibility, duty, and honor, the question of "what maketh a man?", were at the very core of "The Cage", and yet the only thing these snickering jackasses get out of the episode is "man, I'd abandon my ship and crew to get some from the hot chick on Talos!" Not coincidentally, this notion of pursuing personal gain at the expense of the people one has served with exactly sums up John Kerry's career.

.STAR TREK
VOYEUR
While I don't know if it was "hardcore" Dyanne Thorne, who was in the episode "Piece of the action" ,appeared in the Illsa She Wolf of the SS series of films.
The reason I don't know if it is "hardcore" is becaue I never seen it...really, I didn't! I PROMISE!!!!
He also had emotions.Remember the scene when the landing party is exploring the area before they find the "survivors".There is a plant that chimes like bells when you touch it,Spock looks at it and smiles.
Yeah, that was because Malachi Throne, the guy who did the voice of the head Talosian, came back later in the series to guest in "The Menagerie", which of course repackaged "The Cage".... so they had to go back and re-re-dub the Talosian's voice to avoid confusion. Later on, the original color print of "The Cage" was lost, so they reconstructed the episode using the color footage from "The Menagerie" sandwiched together with the footage from Roddenberry's original black-and-white workprint of "The Cage". So what you ended up with was the Talosian's voice changing back and forth in the reconstructed "The Cage".
----Also Spock, while serving under Pike, seemed to have an ATTITUDE problem. Very unlike the calm Spock who served under Kirk.----
Spock WAS pretty freewheeling during the Pike years.

"I bet most of these are old washed-up farts."
===
There you go again with the old farts...or was it me talking to you yesterday, asking you not to call me an old fart, until you knew me better......?
Tee hee, franksolich! ;-)
I thought I was the only person in the world that remembers that movie.
Madam, I would never call a lady an "old fart," even if she were a DUmmie; it goes against the grain.
Too bad the DUmmies don't understand what keeping faith means. It's why Pike returned to the Enterprise. But then, they backed Kerry and loved him.....and he didn't understand either.
"They're DUmmies Jim."
