Charles Napiers 2 Star Trek appearances

and DS9

The Hollow-deck. Seriously how many times some freak accident happens causes the safety protocols to go offline leaving our heroes in jeopardy

I find it kinda of strange that they hired actress Susan Gibney (best known on TNG as Dr. Leah Brahms) to be cast as another character (Commander Benteen) on DS9. Yes other actors have played different characters (like Charles Napier as I mentioned earlier, or Tim Russ who played 3 roles before joining Voyager) but she plays another human.

Hoshi was the killer on IZOMBIE

Loved Ro in TNG and was wishing she went to DS9 but I'm all team Kira now, she fit that role to a tee.

^ Became the best of friends to the point that O'Brien really preferred hanging out with Julian more than his wife.


^Ended up becoming one of those mutual respect friendships even though they are 2 totally different people.

^mm, very nice kind open smart no-bs person knowing the other is a complete rattlesnake relationships


^ well I guess it is hard for an outsider and non-believer to be chosen by your gods as protector of your people, yet your gods won't even talk to you. That was a very cold-hearted woman.


^ Again decent smart person meets rattlesnake relationship.

I have not heard this, but what's making me laugh is that's a tripod he's holding. *snort*

35 Actresses You Forgot Appeared In ‘Star Trek’

Most of these people I knew starred in Star Trek. Most of these people were already famous when they appeared in Star Trek. UPN made a big deal in their promo's when the Roc was going to be on Voyager. I like it when they are relatively unknown and become famous later like Kirsten Dunst

Iggy Pop made a great Vorta.

TNG never had an alternate universe episode but at least we found out what Worf was like, and yes he was a bad guy

Remembering Dr. Stephen Hawking, 1942-2018

http://www.startrek.com/" href="http://www.startrek.com/">StarTrek.com is saddened to report the passing of Dr. Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s greatest scientific minds and, yes, a Star Trek guest star who appeared as himself in the “Descent, Part 1” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. According to his family, he died peacefully this morning at his home in Cambridge at the age of 76.

A ground-breaking physicist and champion of the rights and potential of those with disabilities everywhere, Dr. Hawking was stricken in his early 20s by a progressive motor neurone disease that is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He nonetheless completed his research and degree work in theoretical physics and cosmology, then shot to fame with his groundbreaking 1988 bestseller of lay-readable cosmology and quantum science, A Brief History of Time, and several follow-ups.

A longtime Trek fan, Dr. Hawking planted the idea for his scene after visiting Paramount to shoot a promotional film for his book, which went before the camera on the Enterprise-D’s engineering and warp core set. While on a tour of the other TNG sets, he asked to be taken from his wheelchair — a rare request — in order to sit in the captain’s chair and, as relayed through host Leonard Nimoy, wondered if there was any way he could appear on the show. The search was on for a “profound” scene for him when executive producer Michael Piller suggested the innocent premise of a poker game.

And so it came to pass that Data (Brent Spiner) played poker with Dr. Hawking, Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton. Beyond his on-screen appearance, TNG fans could hear references to a shuttlecraft called the Hawking on more than one occasion.

And, in the alternate future that played out in the series finale “All Good Things...,” it was revealed that Data holds the Lucasian Chair of mathematics at Cambridge University. Dr. Hawking held from 1979 to 2009. Sir Isaac Newton, Hawking and Data's holographic poker oponent, held the position from 1669 to 1702. Dr. Hawking later visited the set of Deep Space Nine, during production on “The House of Quark.”

The Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge for 30 years, Dr. Hawking was born in 1942 at Oxford to escape the "blitz" in wartime London, then moved back and grew up there, enjoying horseback riding and coxing a rowing team until his ALS began rapid onset in college. Early diagnoses predicted only 2 or 3 years to live. He later became completely paralyzed, requiring the trademark voice synthesizer that allowed him to speak. The technology evolved over the years, but he retained the original, familiar voice.

At his 65th birthday in 2007, Dr. Hawking announced plans to fly weightless on a Virgin Atlantic high-altitude plane three months later, and he did so, a first for a quadriplegic. The weightless event allowed his paralyzed body to move for the first time in 40 years. He remained at Cambridge as director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology and counted the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 among many medals and awards he collected from around the world. Dr. Hawking also appeared on The Simpsons, Futurama and on The Big Bang Theory, and was the subject of a telemovie, Hawking, in which he was portrayed by future Star Trek Into Darkness star Benedict Cumberbatch, and the award-winning feature film, The Theory of Everything.

His children, Lucy, Robert and Tim released a statement today that read, "We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years… He once said, ‘It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever."

Everybody is a bad guy in the alternate universe, except O'Brien, and Quark who got killed off. Jennifer wasn't technically but since she's dead in "our" universe it's hard to tell.

Well Tuvok didn't seem all that bad. Guess it's better to say Worf was anti Terran. Curious how Data is in the alternate universe, maybe more like Lore???

Well Keiko mentions she's pregnate. Kira is not showing yet.

What episode is it? I didn't realize Kira (Nana) was pregnate so far into the series I thought it was about season 3 or 4 not like at 5. But then they met on the show so I guess they had to date, then marry before babies.
