It's also rare and would require a "full cap" wig to cover it.<br />OR<br />2) Shat grabbed a nap during a break and mussed up the back of head on the pillow.

Moreau, seriously, it looks like it was gonna fall over his face at any moment).<br /><br />OTOH, some of the other early Season 2 episodes I thought were really good, <b>and</b> he had a good toupee. The Doomsday Machine is an example.<br /><br />What the good toupologists at ST need to do is clear their schedules, conduct and publish Full Toupological Analyses for every Star Trek TOS episode and film.<br /><br />That would totally rule.MVPisOnlinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-15800546735834294672010-06-24T22:11:03.196+02:002010-06-24T22:11:03.196+02:00@Footstep - I looked around to see if I could find...@Footstep - I looked around to see if I could find that pic in a higher resolution, but so far, no luck!murtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-72162492052762685872010-06-24T21:50:57.997+02:002010-06-24T21:50:57.997+02:00@mvp agreed 3rd season definitely the WORST toup i...@mvp agreed 3rd season definitely the WORST toup in the whole wide world and talking about the Mudd episodes, check out the pressure that toup is under when Kirk goes off into the dust storm to look for Eve in Mudd's Women.

Also - I'm wondering exactly how bald Bill was at this point (it's taken me till now, to even begin to accept that he had ANY hair loss whatever - quite a journey) It looks from this as if he was at the billiard ball stage, unless he had two unusual bald stripes at the back, whereas I had naively assumed/could only bring myself to accept that he had a bit of "male pattern" baldness, at the front. Or - did he have "galloping alopecia"? My mind is boggling.Sea Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606855616626032312noreply@blogger.com
