Can Newman be ALL the red shirts? He could die every week. Maybe several times in each episode.

I think the Liz-ard should be Captain but what’s really odd is no Dr. Spaceman?!? This is the role he was born for!

Good one.

That’s Kermit T. Frog.

But I’m seeing Miss Piggy as Lwaxana. Now I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the real Lwaxana without seeing Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy has always displayed the tact and sensitivity to properly deal with any problem a crewmember brings to her. 😃

Lwaxana was just annoying. I’m surprised Wesley isn’t _her_ kid.

These are the voyages of the USS Minnow

Capt. Jonas “Jean-Luc” Grumby  
1st Officer Willie “Ryker” Gilligan  
Chief Engineer Roy “Professor” Hinkley  
Chief Financial Officer of Starfleet Commodore Thurston Howell XXIX  
Counselor “Lovey” Howell  
Operator of 10-forward Ginger “Grant” Guinan  
Ensign Mary Ann “Wesley” Summers

The ship seems woefully understaffed, but it won’t matter as it’s only a three hour mission–A THREE HOUR MISSION.

I totally forgot Nazi Doctor Spaceman. And just threw it to Jenna for the medicinal brandy and exotic STDs.
