who is this guy in the background (star trek cast photo)

I would expect a much larger person then. And kind of frilly.

Shatner looks constipated.

And isn’t 2 feet about right for a woman’s arm?

I don’t see much of a resemblance. But damn, Frakes sure has some road miles on him! He looks older than Shatner.

Marina Sirtis looks sozzled.

It’s Etihw Trihs

I laughed.

That’s Kate Mulgrew.

She hasn’t aged well.

Thanks. I was afraid it was too subtle. :slight_smile:

OK, so I keep reading it is legit. What are the artifacts that establish it is fake?

I guess I can’t get past Marina’s right arm and left hand, also how sharp the edges are around Patrick Stewart’s head. I could be wrong of course.

Hey, the guy’s bald. Cut him some slack.

Could be a dodge/burn artifact, if it’s really an artifact. Large areas of head are often over exposed when everything else looks good. So maybe they tweaked that.

The hand/arm looks normal enough.

Sharp edge on Dorn’s face, too. Again, probably exposure related, if an artifact at all.

Spiner’s hair is completely blown out, as is most of the background.

Not at all; it’s the Official Café-Society In-Joke! (If you hadn’t used it, I was agonna.:p)

The most suspicious feature: that the guy above Frakes’ head is so indifferent to the momentous nature of the gathering. THESE ARE STARS, DAMMIT!!!

Seriously, though, Burton’s eyes probably contain the key to authenticating the photo (a reflection of his own arm and his phone, presumably).

Okay. Abby, expand and enhance the relection in the eyes. We need to find the brand of phone he used. [/gibbs]

[Abby] It’s an iPhone 5S, but … HIS MEMORY CARD IS FULL! How did he take this pic? [/A]

I see a Tribble behind Spiner and McFadden.

Presume this was taken this past weekend at the Chicago Wizard’s World Comic Con. AV Club has a report.

That guy and possibly his twin/clone in the background are just civilians, I think.

That is the guy that Shatner hired to always stand behind him and guard his butt from sneak attacks by George Takei.
Is it that Shatner is that paranoid or have there been real threats made? Who’s to say? It’s been a stormy relationship.

No. His shirt is either white or light blue.

Well, something is behind Gates. Look at her expression.

Surprise Trill Sex!
