    Always loved the bit of trivia of Sam Kirk’s only appearance in the Original Series was after he died … and the image they show of him is the actor William Shatner with a moustache

        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.

      Ha! I just saw the ep for the first time and missed that completely. Thanks! Thank you, Sam Kirk. Your stache, the lighting and makeup were very effective. RIP
