let's talk about how "Errand of Mercy" in Star Trek TOS is literally "evolved beings are anarchist and anarchy is the perfect society, humans are shit because they have a government" and I can't love it more

Gary Mitchell's Eyeballs
Aka more Star Trek History
Because I'm me, I needed to know how they did this in the 60s.
Turns out it's really interesting.
To begin with, for those of you youngins who don't know about old contact lenses, they were literally glass back in the day. That's why in some old movies/tv shows, when someone loses a lens and they're panicking looking for it you hear a crunch when they inevitably step on it.
They also had to soak in these crazy ass things:
That's to give you some context about old contact lenses.
In the show, they took two of these lenses and sandwiched foil with a pinhole in the center between them. And then just made the actors wear them.
Apparently they were VERY hot under the lights (I'd imagine so) and it explains why the actor for Gary is tilting his damn chin all the time, I bet the director was constantly on him about it to get the best reflection.
PS, hot damn, that man was fine.
