Friday, February 27, 2015. Leonard Nimoy's first close-up as Spock in "The Menagerie" (1964). Frequent readers of this blog will know that I'm not usually at a loss for words, but on the subject of Leonard Nimoy's death, I am almost speechless. For as long as I can remember, Star Trek.

http://startrekfactcheck.blogspot.com/2015/02/on-pickups-and-lifts-in-man-trap.html

Who writes, "In 'The Man Trap' chapter in These Are The Voyages. 8212; TOS: Season One. Marc Cushman and Susan Osborn say a shot of Nimoy in the command chair was postponed and done as a pick-up while shooting 'The Naked Time.' Isn't it possible that it's just a lift from 'The Naked Time' that was edited into 'The Man Trap' at a later date?
