The Great Paris – Mission: Impossible

I was aware that Leonard Nimoy was also in Mission: Impossible but to be honest I only knew of the role in passing. So when The Great Paris was requested as a commission* piece I did manage to sneak in a couple of episodes featuring him as The Great Paris – actor, magician and master of disguise.

I will 100% admit that I struggled with wanting to sweep those eyebrows and point those ears.

*Commission pieces are back on the drawing table – I’m working my way through the list again – and I thank everyone for their patience and understanding during what’s been a continuing nightmare LOL.

30 Days of Red Shirts – Day 30: Beamed into space

I didn’t really think about this one being the last in the set, I was just randomly throwing any deaths from Star Trek TOS into a list of 30 themes. I think that it worked out quite perfectly with poor Ensign Todd beamed out into cold bleak space.

I want to thank everyone who has been cheering this little series along and for Matt for suggesting it in the first place.

The full set is still available and any orders received over the next 24 hours will still get the bonus horta print included but after that that exclusive will close.

The original is up for grabs if no one has snapped it up already.

You can order the complete set of 30 cards featuring all of the Red Shirt days in one collection.

30 Days of Red Shirts – Day Twenty-nine: Computer defence mechanism

Ensign Todd transfers down to the transporter room with expected results.

I used a proper silver pen for Losira’s costume which never gets picked up by the scanner but does look cool in real life.

30 Days of Red Shirts – Day Twenty-eight: Hyper-acceleration

Whilst Ensign Todd died all the rest of the crew could hear was a buzzing noise…

I admit that I had to watch this episode and the episode related to tomorrow’s to refresh myself on these deaths and for some reason I had convinced myself that neither episode was very good.

They were both quite enjoyable to watch and I have no idea why I had that misconception.

Showing Todd succumbing to the ravages of hyper-acceleration presented a challenge but I think it came out not too bad.

30 Days of Red Shirts – Day Twenty-seven: strangled

As I mentioned over on Twitter I got very excited about there being a character with the same first name as me which doesn’t happen all that often (even Lee Adama is a Leland). And of course in the prime timeline poor Lee Kelso was strangled by Gary Mitchell.

But we’re in the Ensign Todd multiverse where he accompanied Lee to help rig the base to explode and foolishly he wore the brand new red tunics that came in and became an easy target of Mitchell.

T he original is up for grabs if no one has snapped it up already.

There’s something odd in the barn…

So I launched the Weekly Creative Prompt on Monday and it’s was exciting and a little disappointing. Exciting because people actually want to do it which is so cool and a little disappointing because I think a lot of the emails hit spam folders or weren’t delivered at all due to the unfortunate timing of a Google server outage.

But hey that’s all good because I’ve had four or five people sharing their work which has been really exciting to see!

The above is of course my contribution for this week which was:

30 Days of Red Shirts – Day Twenty-six: Galactic Barrier

Todd picked up the new red tunic and the Enterprise crossed over into the galactic barrier. Todd’s head exploded.

Some people have begun to point out that Ensign Todd wasn’t in certain episodes and it wasn’t him who was killed in whatever the theme was on the day.

Yes.

Ensign Todd was in none of those episodes and he lives in his own 30 time lines which are all loosely connected to the events in the prime timeline.

Sometimes Todd will appear with rank braids and then without – Ensign Todd is a concept more than a canonical entity that conforms to any strict rules.

I hope that helps 🙂
