    We’re taking our time watching The Original Series and I just saw this episode last week … I was excited to go through the episode expecting to see who the actor would be and see and hear the original Sam Kirk … then they just mention he dies, show the body being rolled over, it’s William Shatner with a moustache for 4 seconds and then that’s it, Sam Kirk just appears for that 4 seconds as a dead person. We were very disappointed but at the time, I guess, no one expected any of it to go beyond what they were creating at that moment.

      There are a lot of moments like that, where some character will mention something in an offhand comment, and it will become this huge thing in some other series decades later.
