"Hyakumeruge gouges out eyes" (Toei, 1972)

[countesspetofi]

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars: Walter Koenig in "Gidget's Foreign Policy," an episode of the Gidget TV series that originally aired December 15, 1965. Koenig plays Gunnar Mälström, the stuffy fiancé of an international student who comes to stay with Gidget and her father. His Swedish accent in this episode has some similarities to the Russian accent he used in Star Trek.

NOTE: The character and the episode, while par for the course in 1965, come across as pretty damn sexist by today's standards. There's a whole "What she needs is a good spanking" scene that I didn't even bother to screencap because, ugh. Guys, if you sincerely believe that the woman you're dating is truly too mentally or emotionally immature to be treated as a fellow adult human being, the answer is to end the relationship and find someone you can respect as an equal.

Another Trek connection: Koenig's love interest in this episode is played by prolific film and TV actor Brooke Bundy. Bundy went on to appear as Lt. Sarah MacDougal, the chief engineer of the USS Enterprise-D in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “The Naked Now.”
