“Tailored to the most hard-core Star Trek fans, Mind Meld gets you up close and personal with the stars of the original television series. Its premise? Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner sitting together and having a quiet, earthy chat about old times. There isn’t much new information about the show–though old cast resentments are addressed–but viewers learn a great deal about the personal lives of everyone’s favorite spacemen. The two discuss the pressures of filming a weekly show and the difficulties of maintaining one’s dignity as an actor while wearing pointy ears. The personalities of both men shine through and it becomes obvious why they were cast as they were; Nimoy really is more thoughtful and reserved, while Shatner is extroverted and showy. The best part of Mind Meld is witnessing the genuine fondness the two men share for each other. It’s clear that they really were (and are) best friends, even when the cameras stopped rolling.” –Ali Davis

This contest is only open to U.S. residents and you must have existing iTunes account.
