CatLass007Have any of you seen the movie? I think I walked through the room when someone else was watching it. Alexei is played by William Shatner.12mo
dabbeI can't remember when I've read a book where the author tells us in his opening notes that Alexei is the hero of the story numerous times as well as the narrator in the story saying the same thing, while both also say similar words like “I know you may not like him as a hero, but...“ The being-talked-to style also reminds me of the narrator in VANITY FAIR.12mo
CatLass007@Aimeesue@AllDebooks I don‘t think he did that in roles other than Captain Kirk. He played Spencer Tracy‘s aide in Judgment at Nuremberg. And Denny Crane didn‘t talk that way either.12mo
BarkingMadRead@CatLass007 didn‘t be kind of pause right before he said Denny Crane? Omg I can hear him in my head 🤣12mo
CatLass007@BarkingMadRead Hmm. I just remember that he liked saying his own name and hearing others say his name, especially Candice Bergen.12mo
Aimeesue@CatLass007 I‘m a Trekkie, so that‘s pretty much all I know him from. It‘s a definite thing in TOS!12mo
CatLass007@Aimeesue Oh yes! I was raised on Star Trek. I know it‘s a thing on TOS. Years ago I had a student worker who did a great Captain Kirk impression. I never much cared for Jim Carrey‘s Kirk impression.12mo
mcctrishBetween his mother wailing and holding him out for the saint to see and the den of iniquity trying to corrupt him he‘s just gonna be #holdmybeer from here on out12mo
willafulThe outside, often unidentified narrator is an interesting technique we don't see a lot anymore. I wonder when it died out.
I'm seeing a possible Brothers Karamazov inspiration in Maggie Stiefvater's “Dreamers“ trilogy. Also in something else that I'm forgetting at the moment.12mo
BkloverAlexei seems a little too good to be true. And definitely not William Shatner!!@CatLass007 Oh, and I‘m still finding this book a bit funny. Is anyone else? Maybe it‘s my translation. I think I have the #dostoyevskyfordummies version. (MacAndrew). Definitely fun to read though!!12mo
CatLass007Let‘s see… The Brothers Karamazov was released in 1958. Judgment at Nuremberg was released in 1961. So they both were several years before his Star Trek days. There was an episode of Boston Legal which featured flashbacks to Denny Crane‘s younger days. It used footage of some legal drama in which Shatner appeared. The episode involved a man taking members of the law firm hostage. Denny regrets what he did in the past. Rambling. Sorry.12mo
