Entire episode playlists available on my youtube channel page!
Science fiction/Action adventure/Space. Created by Gene Roddenberry. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley (Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy) - Norway Productions and Desilu Productions produced the series from September 1966 to December 1967. Paramount Television produced the show from January 1968 to June 1969. Star Trek aired on NBC from September 8, 1966, to June 3, 1969. It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada's CTV network. Star Trek's Nielsen ratings while on NBC were low, and the network cancelled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. Several years later, the series became a hit in broadcast syndication, remaining so throughout the 1970s, achieving cult classic status and a developing influence on popular culture. Star Trek eventually spawned a franchise, consisting of eight television series, 13 feature films, and numerous books, games, and toys, and is now widely considered one of the most popular and influential television series of all time.

I don't think she could get ny with that in 2024. Somebody, with their kid, would record and post it on social media, and your neighborhood would be inundated with visitors.

[@mizkomunikation9478]

For those who aren’t getting it: She’s not just walking a few steps. She’s walking without looking where she’s going. On a tv/film set, actors often have to walk along a specific path, sometimes with marks on the floor. Scenes are often meticulously planned in terms of where everyone needs to be, because all the cameras, lights, actors, etc are set up so the director can get exactly the shots they want. Especially on a small tv set, you have to be careful not to walk anywhere that might cause a camera to show things it shouldn’t, or film you in weird angles. The clip isn’t suggesting this was epic. It’s more like an example of how actors, can reach a point where the technical stuff becomes 2nd nature, and they can focus almost entirely on the performance.

[@KidRunnerH]

She probably just used her peripheral vision to move around the set. None of the cast are gonna intentionally get in her way to mess up the scene. For those who don’t know. How periphery works is that your field of vision is wider than the direction your head is facing. Some people can process that entire field without looking directly at the things they notice. Or in other words: She sees things out of the corner of your eye without looking right at it. Backwards up stairs is difficult but you see her use the handrail to keep her balance. It’s subtle… your eyes are constantly moving so it’s tricky to look transfixed at one thing but it’s totally possible.
