Instead of the city guard, you had to deal with the fair guard, BUncle?

[Buster's Uncle]

They don't need security for regulating the performers, fortunately.

[Buster's Uncle]

...The sort of people who go in for playing Klingons, incidentally, are not the sort I'd consider allowing to regulate the customers, (leaving aside that they're in heavy makeup/costumes not conducive to exertion).  -But it might be different at the professional level of a Vegas show...

[Valka]

I've read of some Star Trek conventions dressing their security like Klingons. Ditto for some other conventions, except their were dressed like Dorsai.

Nobody messed with these guys. 

[Buster's Uncle]

...Klingons were security at the infamous Con of Wrath, come to think of it...

I take it from that image that Number One eventually gets her own captaincy?

If so, does it give her a real name, or is she known as Captain Number One? 

[Buster's Uncle]

She got at least as far as Commodore, actually, and Byrne has been careful to avoid naming her.

[Geo]

 

Mmm. Is Leonard Nimoy left -or righthanded?
It just striked me both Spock smilies here use a different hand to give the 'llap' greeting.

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm pretty sure right-handed; at least, that's the hand he makes the sign with in my memories of him doing it.  I had nothing to do with that green one...

[Geo]

Ah, okay. Thought that was your work too.

[Unorthodox]

I seem to remember the mind meld was lefty, though? 

[Buster's Uncle]

[shrugs] The mind meld is a complex two-handed thing, usually.  I guess somebody could google Nimoy's handedness - but my money's still on right, and not because of the odds.

[Unorthodox]

I thought the two handed aproach was post-spock.   

[Buster's Uncle]

No - casual one-hand melds were movie-era and afterwards.  The first time Spock did it in Dagger of the Mind, he was totally gripping Van Gelder's whole face in both hands and making a major ceremony of it.  Likewise with the Horta, (Devil in the Dark) sans face.  His meld-grip was slightly more casual in Specter of the Gun, but that was a sloppy episode in the third season, and he had to do the whole landing party under a time limit - and I believe it was still both hands.  I think Evil Spock used one hand on McCoy in Mirror, Mirror.  I'm not sure the time in By any other Name (and Operation: Annihilate!?) through a wall counts, but he used both hands on the wall, IIRC.

What I think of in determining his handedness is the peace sign, appropriately enough.  Unless I'm profoundly mistaken, he always did it with his right hand.  As a good OG Trekker, I can do it easily with either hand, of course.

I did think it over quickly when I was making Dancing Spock below.
