Wait. What? When do we see JT Kirk’s brother on screen in TOS? Is this real or just a photoshop of Shatner with a fake mustache?

Sam Kirk appears on screen already dead and played by Shatner in TOS s01e29 Operation--Annihilate.

Oh my! Thanks for that info, I’ll refresh my memory.

There's an episode in TOS where Sam Kirk is dead on the floor and it's just Shatner with a fake mustache, it's one with flying parasites and Kirk's nephew is the only survivor of the family.

It's obviously photoshop.

I was 99% sure it was a photoshop but totally forgot about dead Sam Kirk in TOS Operation Annihilate, and I didn’t realize the nature of this community at the time. :)

You really haven't heard of Francisco "Pancho" Shatner? He was executed by the PRI in 1971 but till then he was one of Mexico's finest actors.

[–] DarthBueller@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ah, old Pancho. I remember now. ;)

Pancho needs your prayers, it’s true, but save few for Billy too. He only did what he had to do, and now he’s growing old.

All the green Gorn captains say, they could have had him any day…

I really wish they had used the same actor with or without a mustache in the new show.

Love the new Jim, but I wish Sam was still played by William Shatner in a mustache.
