Lord Garth

Remember Lord Garth & his consort Marta?



Steve Ihnat played Garth. He was one of my most favorite guests on the original series.
He really was a fine actor, born in Czechoslovakia . He was a TV staple in the '60's & early '70's. Unfortunately he died in 1972.

First Post: Organia

Today I am launching the new Sci-Fi Word of the Day Blog!

The word today is Organia - a non-aligned planet featured in the TOS episode "Errand of Mercy" for which the Federation and Klingons battle for control. The seeming primitive inhabitants reveal themselves to be powerful beings and threathen to neutralize both the Federation and Klingon's means to conduct war unless a truce is resolved.
