I couldn't have told you a single thing about GL prior to watching this other than he's some sort of superhero with a ring. I'd never heard the names Hal Jordan or John Stewart in this context and had no preconceived notions about their personalities or character traits. It was probably worse for people invested in the IP but it wasn't good regardless.

---

You never watched Justice League or Justice League Unlimited? John Stewart was the GL for that.

You never watched any of the animated movies produced by DC that featured Hal Jordan?

So why did YOU watch the show if you had never heard of any of these characters?

quote:

---

That said, I think the secret 4th actor is likely a big name that doesn't want it known if he loses out, like Hemsworth or Cavill or, god help us, Tom Holland.

---

Holland is too baby-faced to be believable in the role.

Cavill or Hemsworth definitely could pull it off though. Cavill especially, considering his British accent is natural.

That's a pretty good trivia question - name the episodes McCoy is not in. I can only think of one.

---

Memory Alpha has a site dedicated to this very question for the entire primary cast:

TOS Regular Cast Non-Appearances

They don't list every episode if a cast member wasn't present for a season (like how Chekov wasn't added until S2), but rather specify the season they came onboard.

Here are the episodes he did not appear but was otherwise a member of the cast:

quote:

---

"What Are Little Girls Made Of?" (Season 1)
"The Menagerie, Part II" (only in recap, recycled footage)
"Errand of Mercy"

---

He was not part of the cast for either pilot episode:

quote:

---

DeForest Kelley was not a cast member for "The Cage" or "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

---

Interestingly enough, the doctor in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was played by Paul Fix. He, like Kelly, was a veteran actor of westerns but is probably best known as playing the presiding judge in To Kill A Mockingbird (the classic from 1962). He was born in 1901, so he would have been, by far, the oldest cast member if he had stayed on.

But the others, no fricking clue.

I think I know who we've got playing QB in this one... :lol: :cheers:

LSU has played much better on both lines of scrimmage, but the O-Line is still a bit of a weak spot at LG. But I think they've played better the last couple of games.
Alabama's O-Line on the other hand, is porous. There are defenders in the backfield every play almost bringing Russell down, and if not for his athleticism, that O-Line would have given up better than 30+ sacks so far this season rather than just 22.
I have a feeling Russell and that O-Line is going to struggle most of the day, but will probably hit a couple of busted coverages.

I am still taking LSU by double digits to win

How do you feel about Leavitt vs a not-so-great by HIGHLY opportunistic secondary?

quote:

---

Nimoy (debut 1951 - age 20) had been in H'wood almost as long as Kelley (debut 1947)

FWIW I was in the same room as DeForrest once!!!

---

Kelley had 107 different shows and movie credits by the time Star Trek started; Nimoy was 49. It should also be noted that Kelly often appeared on multiple episodes of shows while Nimoy was typically present for just one episode.

I'm not trying to knock Nimoy, just acknowledging that Kelly was the senior member of the cast, screentime wise.

I did find this interesting tidbit about the cast and how many episodes each actor was in (only Shatner and Nimoy appeared in all of them, or only Nimoy if you include the pilot):

Main Cast
* William Shatner as James T. Kirk, commanding officer of the USS Enterprise: 79
* Leonard Nimoy as Spock, first officer and science officer: 80 (including the unaired The Cage pilot)
* DeForest Kelley as Leonard McCoy, chief medical officer: 76
* Nichelle Nichols as, Communications Officer Uhura: 68
* James Doohan as Montgomery Scott, chief engineer: 66 (plus several voiceover roles)
* George Takei as Sulu, helmsman: 52
* Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov, navigator and security/tactical officer: 36
Recurring Cast
* Majel Barrett as Nurse Christine Chapel: 25 (34 including her appearance as Number One in the unaired The Cage pilot and her computer voice-overs)
* Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand, Captain's yeoman: 8
* John Winston as Kyle, operations officer: 11
* Michael Barrier as Vincent DeSalle, navigator and assistant chief engineer: 3
* Eddie Paskey as Leslie: 34 (~60 episodes including “non-Leslie” appearances)
* David L. Ross as Galloway, various positions: 7 (8 including Lieutenant Johnson, Operations Division)
* Grant Woods as Kelowitz, science and tactical officer: 3
* William “Billy” Blackburn as Hadley (uncredited): 25 (not including dozens of other uncredited appearances as non-crew. He was called Hadley by name only once)
* Bruce Hyde as Lieutenant Riley: 2

Does any sport actually have full time referees? I genuinely don’t know. I thought they all had other jobs.

---

The sports where games are played all week (NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS) all have full time referees.

The NFL does not; however, they DO make 6 figures and are usually in other, high-performing / high-intellect jobs (attorneys, educators, engineers, financial advisors, etc.)

SEC refs make between $3,000 and $5,000 per game, so even if you worked a game every weekend you would need to be at the top to clear 6 figures. It also seems that some conferences reimburse for travel and some do not, so that would make a pretty significant impact on what you take home.

I think it's less about being full-time and more about compensation, especially if the SEC also does not reimburse for travel. Can you imagine being willing to get screamed at and hated for that kind of money, especially starting off and being on the lower end of the compensation?

I could be the greatest, most accurate ref in history and some one will still blame me for their team losing and probably throw shite at me as I leave a stadium. No thanks.

Kiffin and Ole Miss last year were mostly a product of having the easiest schedule in the SEC, he still managed 2 losses and couldn't make the SECCG.

#4 Alabama - 2.97
#5 Texas - 2.82
#7 Florida - 2.72
#8 Auburn - 2.57
#10 Arkansas - 2.50
#11 South Carolina - 2.42
#12 Kentucky - 2.38
#15 LSU - 2.29
#17 Miss St - 2.23
#20 Missouri - 2.13
#21 Oklahoma - 2.09
#22 Tennessee - 2.05
#23 Georgia - 2.04
#36 Texas A&M -1.70
#39 Vandy - 1.57
#48 Ole Miss - 1.35

Alabama's schedule was more than twice as difficult as Ole Miss last year. Alabama this year thus far has the #2 most difficult schedule played as well, but that may change today when they get updated. I'm not sure which direction.

DeBoer inherited a team that needed a 4th and 31 to beat a team with a losing record. The only reason Alabama made it to the playoffs was because of beating Georgia in the SECCG. Oh, and Deboer made it to the playoffs with Washington and beat Texas in the semi-finals before any of you start that "But ole Miss" response.

He was hired in Jan, most of them announced and committed to other teams before he was even hired. Even then it would have been a matter of wanting the guys around and if they fit his scheme.

He's having better seasons in transitions than your teams are elsewhere. There is a reason why you want to compare him to Saban rather than your own glass houses.

You're wasting your time trying to engage in something even remotely resembling an intelligent debate on the subject here.

quote:

---

Shatner was notoriously self-centered and would ignore other actors, blow lines on purpose in scenes where the opposite actor was getting too much attention, etc. Almost everyone had a beef with him. His relationship with Nimoy was very hit or miss over the course of the years. Takei was probably the most vocal, but Koenig also made public comments. Maybe Shatner got along with Kelly perhaps?

---

Kelly got along with pretty much anyone, and he was - by far - the most experienced actor on set. He knew how to blow stuff off and get the job done.

Arch almost assuredly has more talent surrounding him than Mateer.

My Asus Zenpad is like 50% more now so that tracks.

Which reminds me I randomly bought 32GB of DDR RAM for $100 years ago and need to sell it

---

I have a PC I bought in August of last year has these specs:

Intel Core Ultra 9 285
Nvidia RTX 5080
Nvme WD Blue SN5000 4TB
Crucial Crucial 32GB DDR5 RAM, 4800MH (x2)

Ran me $3000 after taxes

Similar items with the full 64GB of RAM, 5080 card, and Ultra 9 285 run over $5000 now, just a little over a year later.

Hell, I could probably sell what I have used and make a profit.
