Whenever I watch Wink of an Eye I always think the dead guy looks like Keith Richards.
Whatcha think ?

Keith Richards looks more dead than that.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
Nope. But I'll give the episode another watch, and see if perhaps there is another angle (frame/shot) in which I may see the resemblance.Comment

I can see it.Looking for:
--Lion Rock "Mr Rock's" shoes/ boots (these may also be the same as the lion rock monster line boots)
--Mystery AstronaughtComment

Nah, but I think he looks a lot like actor Doug McClure of Shat's other show The Barbary Coast.Comment

I think a similar face structure is there, yes.
But Keith Richards really looks more like the Salt Vampire....

Wow, it's him for sure. The Scalosians seemed pretty callous, but making someone age AND resemble Keef is cruel and unusual.
Meanwhile, the Salt Vampire and Mick are clearly of the same species. I also noticed that Bill Wyman took time away from the Stones
to appear as Stonn in Amoke Time under the alias Lawrence Montaigne.Comment

Naahh... I just rewatched the entire episode and I see no resemblance other than a wry "aged old man" or "He's SO dead, I think he's Keith Richards, Jim!" sort of joke.
But I am reminded why I find this episode so annoying -- there are numerous continuity errors. Kirk discharges a phaser on the bridge, and no one (not even the ship's sensors) detects that? Scotty spends almost the entire episode entering the Transporter Room doorway, while several other "real-time" (un-accelerated) activities completely transpire. Scotty left Spock on the Bridge -- in the meantime, McCoy (joined by Spock) discovers the hyper-acceleration element as well as develops an antidote to Scalosian water. When Kirk "zaps" into Regular Speed, Scotty's first question is "...And Mister Spock -- is he coming, too?", indicating that he somehow learned at some point (presumably while standing in that open doorway?) that Spock had also been accelerated.
However, this episode is notable for incontrovertible proof that Kirk actually banged that woman. This remains the ONLY episode where the suggetion of Kirk's sexual relations are neither left to the imagination nor open to debate.
Also... possibly the best stand-alone moment in Star trek history, when Scotty asks in a most anxiety-filled brogue: "Was it the coffee?!?"Last edited by SentientApe; Jun 18, '14, 11:16 AM.Comment
