The Horrors Of “Star Trek: TOS” Teeth

[Captain Dunsel]

Ah, yes…sweet and mild Camels will nourish your “T - Zone”…

And, don’t forget, more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette…

 

[Apollo]

Smoke em if you got em!

I tried to smoke a Camel cigarette once. It tasted like what would come out of the south end of a northbound camel.

can't let a topic like this go without referencing the true horror of Balok

At least Clint had an excuse, he still had his baby teeth!

He did grow up to be a proud Ferengi, with or without make-up.

“Meth Mouth” and “Mountain Dew Mouth” have nothing on “Tranya Teeth”….

Commander Balok relished far too much of the Tranya….yes, far, far too much relishing of the Tranya, indeed…

Nice Pic from Happier Days!

Such a shame Bill and Leonard could not reconcile their friendship before Leonard passed away....

they did

 

[Apollo]

they did

No they did not .

Shatner has even said as much , Nimoy stopped talking to him 5 years before his death....

There's no smoking in Space

 

[Mottrex]

There's no smoking in Space

Yeah Yeah technically a planet.. And I've crossed the Streams

 

[The Goon]

Yeah Yeah technically a planet.. And I've crossed the Streams

Here in the real world that's really only a bad thing if it happens at a public urinal.

Yep...still not in space.

 

[Mottrex]

Yep...still not in space.

Oh he's certainly in his own personal space.. Not sure about the Death Pipe smoke though

I recently watched “Let Thet Be Your Last Battlefield” (with half black / half white Frank Gorshin), for the first time in years, and noticed something I had never noticed before—some of the Original Series actors’ teeth were a chamber of horrors. This was apparent in the extreme zooms used in the “Enterprise self-destruct sequence”.

Nimoy:

Yikes!

We have come a long way in dental care since the 1960’s, apparently.

Was not an issue when your TV screen was 23-24 inches max.

 

[Mottrex]

Nah they are just better at hiding them..

A good 60% maybe of todays actors use "Clips" either to change appearance as the role demands it or simply vanity...

 

[Orion61]

Yeah, but braces were rare back in the day when they were children

Leonard, Deforest, and Jimmy also smoked like chimneys, which is why you can see tobacco stains on their teeth

Dohan had smoked but had stopped after WW2. But how many knew he had his middle finger on his right hand blown off by Machine gun, firewhile storming the beach at Normandy. He hid it very well but there is a scene in the episode "The Trouble With Tribbles," where he is holding an arm full of Tribbles, You can see it quite well for a second.

Jimmy smoked many times in front of me in the 70’s as well as during the shoot of “Trek”

He was indeed one of the greatest generation
