TOS s1e17 “Shore Leave”
gramps
FYI, DeForest Kelly was 46 when this episode was filmed.
I guess back when people married and had babies at the age of 18, he could have been a grandfather.
I just figured a pissant kid would refer to any male adult as gramps. Also smoking and lead poisoning aged people horribly back then.
True and true.
He went the Steve Martin/Christopher Lloyd route of looking old long before he was old.
I remember the 90s sitcom trope of a 10-year-old kid asking someone in their thirties if they still had dinosaurs “back then.”
Proudly snatched and Uno reversed back at you!
Shore Leave is such a great episode. It gets almost no love.
Finnegan might be my all-time favorite Trek character.
Always fight fair, don’t ya, you officer and gentleman, you? You stupid underclassman, I’ve got the edge. I’m still 20-years-old. Look at you! Heh. You’re an old man.
I’m still 20-years-old.
The IMDB tells me he was 31 and Shatner was 35. Oh well. They tried.
Dammit Bunny, I’m if fippl . . grangka . . siff . . oh man.
