#Thelev
Happy TOSS Birthday to William O'Connell. He did a great job as Thelev. I'm used to seeing him in comedic roles, but he's quite menacing in Babel. #TOSSatNight

Thelev was the first Orion seen on screen. Sort of. #TOSSatNight

William O'Connell, who plays the villainous Andorian Thelev, died last year. He was 94. #allstartrek

If the antenna was that fragile, Thelev would have broken it off putting his shirt on. #TOSSatNight

#StarTrek #StarTrekOnline My Andorian Captain - Thelev and his ship the USS Wolverine (Friendship Command Flight Deck Carrier) I first made him because of the wonderful lady @korbian.bsky.social and her Andorian posts.

Perhaps "Thelev" was one of the blue Orions? Or would that be O-ree-ons? #TOSSatNight

Journey to Babel is one of my favorite episodes of TOS, but does it actually live up to the memory that put it on that list?

I couldn't think of a joke for the ep art so I did my default & made a realistic portrait instead; this time of Thelev, the assassin "Andorian" just cause he looked psycho

Did Thelev have to eat a lot of corn to turn his green Orion skin blue? #TOSSatNight

#SecretTreks Identity

Thelev conceals his Orion identity while attending a diplomatic mission on Enterprise as an Andorian. His mission: to thwart the Coridan admission into the Federation.

Yo si que vi problema con la ficha de Elric, Yyrkoon, Thelev K'Arnaak (creo que se escribe así) y Stormbringer en el libro homónimo. Y el problema fue que se saltaron las reglas de creación para poder representarnos. Yo creo que al menos, sigue las reglas...

a really great Gorn and superb Thelev, really captured that Andorian’s shiftiness 👍👍

A random Star Trek thing I love for #StarTrek60.

Yes, we are at home to primary coloured facepaint (see also Orions) but Andorians just *work* thanks to subtler-than-you-think makeup and being played with conviction and/or an amazing Viennese accent. Plus Shrann is the best thing in Enterprise.

Why Kirk is better than Picard, Pt. 6 in a series:

Ambassador Sarek comes aboard Kirk's Enterprise: Kirk saves Sarek's life at the risk of his own, gets Sarek to reconcile with his estranged son Spock, solves a murder, and catches an Orion saboteur, resulting in Coridan joining the Federation.

💯 Also, it is implied that Thelev is an Orion too, albeit in disguise - but he is blue!

there are some exceptions, of course:
KIRK: <winded> "I thought Andorian men didn't fight."
THELEV: <William O'Connel leers malevolently while drawing an alien knife that was originally the weirdest barbecue fork the prop guy could find> "You'll find I'm full of surprises, Captain."
