Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock
Also Brent Spiner broke his mandible during the filming of ‘The Game’ and had to be taken to hospital dressed as Data
an earthquake happened near the DS9 set once and Armin Shimerman went racing home to his family in full-on Quark makeup
Andy Robinson also went home after that earthquake in full Garak makeup and the traffic lights weren’t working so people had to make eye contact at the intersections and he says everybody always let him go first
This post has been circulating around for a couple of years and this is the first addition that I genuinely didn’t know about and gOD HOW DID I NOT KNOW
Now I want to draw ALL OF THESE events. Particularly Garak sitting there at a traffic light.
Kirstie Alley went out on a blind date set up by her friend after being on set shooting all day – she was in a rush to get out and meet up with the guy on time. While they were sitting chatting over drinks, she was casually flirting with and pushed her hair back behind her ear and he went all wide eyed – at which point, she realized she’d left the set with her Vulcan ears still in place.
“New Zealand’s government wants the Maori language to be taught in all primary schools alongside maths and science, with the prime minister saying she wants to be one of the last generation that wasn’t taught. While te reo Maori is one of three languages officially recognised in New Zealand – alongside English and New Zealand Sign Language – it’s currently not compulsory and not taught at many schools. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern – who wants to raise her daughter, Neve, speaking both Maori and English – told reporters the language was “part of who we are as a country”. “I have an aspiration that my generation will be last generation to regret not having the chance to learn te reo Maori in our learning and education journey,” she said. “I am still, if it’s not obvious, at the beginning of my journey to learn te reo Maori.” Government ministers have avoided using the word “compulsory” – which has proved controversial in the past – in favour of “universal availability”. While the use of words and phrases in Maori is now common in New Zealand, 2013 census figures suggested as few 50,000 people spoke it at a high level, while about 150,000 were conversational. There’s also been a recent surge in interest in beginner Maori courses across the country, with providers saying they had to leave hundreds of people on waiting lists this year.”
