The Wild Man

Sun, Dec 28, 195826 mins

As Penny and Sky are flying, Penny watches a car leave the road and plunge off a cliff. They quickly land and head for the nearby lumber company headquarters. The car was carrying the current payroll. At the wreck site, Sky is lowered by cable to rescue the driver, Charlie, who was ejected and stranded on a ledge. He indicates he crashed after a gunshot shattered the windshield. When they send someone to retrieve the pay satchel, it's missing. Everyone suspects that the culprit is "the Wild Man" who has been shooting at the lumberjacks during cutting operations. Back at headquarters, Sky volunteers to search by air, the lumber crews will go with the sheriff on foot, and Penny will try to catch some trout to feed to the recovering Charlie. The Wild Man, Jean Turnot, bumps into Penny at the river. He tells her he did not shoot at the car and did not take the payroll money. He has been shooting at the lumbermen because they are cutting the trees where his animal friends live. He was hoping to get some milk for a baby raccoon that he is nursing. Penny agrees to get some milk and meet him later. The sheriff uses this as an excuse to capture him. But Turnot climbs onto a water tower where Penny approaches him. Sky catches one of the lumber crew aiming his rifle at Turnot. It was the fellow who shot the car and took the money. Sky stops him with a warning shot as he tries to flee.

Star Trek

3 Seasons
A 1960's science fiction action adventure series set in the 23rd century based around the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets (including Earth) on a five-year mission in outer space to explore new worlds, seek new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before. The Enterprise is commanded by handsome and brash American Captain James Tiberius "Jim" Kirk (William Shatner). Kirk is advised by his two best friends Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy) (last name unpronounceable to humans) the ship's half-human/half-Vulcan Science Officer and First/Executive Officer (i.e. second-in-command) from the planet Vulcan, and American Chief Medical Officer Dr. Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley). Spock uses logic to solve problems but because he is half-Vulcan he has no emotions whilst McCoy gives Kirk advice with his human emotional feelings. Kirk takes the logic of Spock and the emotions of McCoy uses them both in his decision making. The trio are joined by a crew of approximately 430, including the Asian-American helmsman Lieutenant Hikaru Kato Sulu (George Takei), Russian navigator Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov (Walter Koenig), Swahili communications officer Lieutenant Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), Scotish chief engineer Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan), Nurse Christine Chapel (Majel Barrett) and Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney). The series follows them as they confront strange alien races, friendly and hostile alike, as they explore unknown worlds. We see the Enterprise and her crew battle aliens, megalomaniac computers, time paradoxes, psychotic murderers, and even Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban). The series is known for looking at then (1960's) hot topics such as sex, war, God, religion, politics, and racism and other things that make up the human condition (and what it means to be Human) through a lens of the future. The 79 (eighty if including The Cage (1966)) episode television series, which was produced from 1966 to 1969, has now cult characters and has fans all over the world.
