No clue…haven’t seen the episode since it first aired (and it was a season one episode). Gonzoron’s description of the episode (checking IMDB, it seems to be called Oasis) sounds about right.
Ok, one more guess and I’m done with this one. There’s an episode of DSN where most if not all the prior incarnations of the human hosts of Dax inhabit the crew. So, Dax, in a way, was portrayed by the entire main cast.
Yep. Thomas Riker was very impressed with the starship he just stole.
Yes (along with a voice actor in TAS and IIRC we saw newborn Spock in ST5).
It’s not “Dax” because each person played a different incarnation of the host/symbiont. The series makes it pretty clear that when the host is joined to a symbiont they’re a new conjoined entity and is distinct from the previous host, symbiont and joined pair.
American Earth Thanksgiving. He caused real turkeys to appear in the food replicators.
Khan,
Your saying that Tuvok was a member of the Excelsior’s crew in Star Trek VI is stretching it a bit. Yes, he was retconned into the crew by the VOY episode “Flashback” (filmed five years after the movie), but we never saw him in Trek VI (though we can assume he was on the ship).
In “Charlie X” Gene Roddenberry played the voice of the cook, don’t know what stand-in played the “body” (from an angle behind him, iirc) of the cook.
Marla McGivers’ was Khan’s (common law? or did Kirk marry them?) wife. Joachim was his right-hand man in TWOK (On “Space Seed” there was an older character, Khan’s age, named Joachin)
And to answer some of my own unanswered questions.
Montgomery Scott was named for James Montgomery Doohan’s son, Montgomery. James Doohan got the middle name because it was his mother’s maiden name.
The first draft of the TNG series outline (as reported in STARLOG) had one Captain Julian Picard.
Walter Koenig wore a toupee for the TOS films as well as Shatner.
Couple more:
F. Who was originally cast to play Lazarus in the TOS episode “The Alternative Factor?” Robert Brown was hurriedly cast when this actor failed to show up for work on the first day of filming. Fairly recently deceased, he had a more famous father (and aunt and uncle) and a daughter who is named for his middle name.
G. Name as many actors as possible who were on TOS and one of the spin-offs, doesn’t matter if it was the same character. Or has this one been asked?
H. Eddie Albert’s daughter-in-law was in a TOS episode. Name her and the ep. What other member of Albert’s family was on a DS9 episode?
I. Name a member of the Bangles who was in a TOS movie.
Sir Rhosis
As noted above, you’re wrong here. Russ played an unnamed, apparently human officer (and definitely not Vulcan – ears in plain view) in Generations. The Voyager episode where Tuvok was retconned in to a movie had him serving under Capt. Sulu of the Excelsior during the events of ST: VI, although Russ, to the best of my and IMDB’s knowledge, did not actually appear in ST: VI. They did, however, get Jeremy Roberts, who appeared in ST: VI, to reprise his role along with Takei.
It was based on the make-up worn by Famke Jansen in the TNG episode where she played a woman who would bond with her intended husband using her empathic powers to become his ideal mate. I think the character’s name was Kamala.
w00t!
From my casual reading of the OP, this allows me to ask up to 5 questions. We seem to have abandoned numbering, but I’m reintroduce it with the arbitrarily picked #83.
-
Ignoring appearances in the movies, what recurring character had the longest amount of (real-world) time between two appearances played by the same actor?
-
ST guest actor and supreme potentate. Name him. (Hint: His wife is really hot.)
-
Kevin Bacon never did a ST guest spot AFAIK, so we have to play Six Degress of Christian Slater instead. Enobran Tain (sp?) to the I believed unnamed character played by Christian Slater – six steps or less.
-
Explain the context of the best line of Star Trek dialogue ever: “Sorry, neither.”
-
OK, I can’t think of anything else good to ask.

In “The Naked Time” Sulu is infected by the long-chain water molecules or whatever, and is dashing around the ship flashing his tight torso and his sword (not that one). He grabs ahold of Uhura and calls her “fair maiden,” engendering the response, “Sorry, neither.”
1966! Unmarried woman declaring she’s not a virgin on national television! Good stuff!
–Cliffy
P.S. Correct, obv.
I’d guess Kor, the Klingon officer played by John Colicos - from first season TOS to second season DS9.
Nope!
Hmm. Since you specifically say to disregard movies, it must be someone who appeared in at least one of the movies. Was Rand on the Excelsior? If so I’m gonna guess Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand, from TOS season 1 to whatever ep of Voyager it was where Sulu and the Excelsior appeared.
No whoosh, it was indeed invisible/cloaked
Joachim IIRC.
I see you’re right. Did they have any member of Excelsior’s crew in STVI that they could retcon into being Tuvok?
Yep. I thought she was played by Teri Hatcher, though. Having learned that, I remember that she played a yellow shirt at some point in TNG, I forget when.
Do you mean TOS or are all the series fair game? Whatever the case, I’ll take a stab and say F. Lee Bailey as the “friendly angel” in “And the Children Shall Lead.”
Going with actors:
[Enabran Tain] with Rene Auberjonois as in DS9
Did you want characters or actors?
Assuming you meant characters:
Enabran Tain with Bashir in DS9
Bashir with Data in TNG
Data with Kirk in Generations
Kirk in STVI with [Christian Slater]… Y’know, I think in the encyclopedia his character actually was named [rank] Slater, but Sulu did call him “Mister.”
4 degrees.
Narrowing it to characters who shared a scene:
Enabran Tain with Worf in DS9 (Dominion prison along with Bashir and Garak)
Worf with Guinan in TNG (conversation over prune juice in Ten-Forward)
Guinan with Chekov in Generations (escorting her from the transporter room on 1701-B)
Chekov with Sulu in… lessay… STII (on the bridge during the nebula fight)
Sulu with “Mister” in STVI
Assuming he was on the view screen when Kirk thanked Sulu in STVI, you could go Worf-Picard, Picard-Kirk, Kirk-[Slater], and knock off a step.
Narrowing to characters who exchanged lines:
Tain with Bashir - DS9
Bashir with Data - TNG
Data with Picard - STFC
Picard with Kirk - Generations
Kirk with Sulu - I’ll go with TWOK again
Sulu with [Slater]
We can use individual episodes too:
Tain with Garak “The Die is Cast”
Garak with Sisko “In the Pale Moonlight”
Sisko with Picard “Emmisary”
Picard with Spock “Reunification”
Spock with Sulu “The Naked Time”
Sulu with Slater
I’m having way too much fun with this.
Only one more, I promise. Going by episodes and shared scenes:
Tain-Worf, Worf-Scotty, Scotty-Sulu, Sulu-Slater
This is the most complete answer so far; in fact I didn’t know some of those names. There are at least two more actors though.
Ha, thought that was her alright, the episode was an early TNG show, “The Outrageous Okuna (sp?).” A vagabond comes on board the Enterprise and finds himself hounded by wronged fathers IIRC.
No-one’s yet enumerated the ToS time-travel episodes.
Compare and contrast the keyboard skills of those two accomplished musicians, Spock and Uhura.
Yeah someone did, about two pages ago.
But I still have two open questions:
Name all of Kirk’s known relatives.
According to Uhura, what color is the ball?
Janice Rand is correct. I only said to disregard the movies because I couldn’t be arsed to do all the math, and also I have this vague notion that Rand/Whitney may have appeared in an early movie as well. Anyway, I believe Rand was the officer on the Excelsior who, after the Praxis force wave knocked the ship stern-over-teakettle, asked Sulu if she should report it.
I don’t think so; one assumes that Tuvok was just in the boiler room during the scenes we saw of the Excelsior bridge during ST: VI.
Any actor in any official Star Trek production.
As for your answer, either you or I don’t know the meaning of the word “potentate.” [Looks it up] It’s you.
Re: Your Six degrees answer: yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
–Cliffy
Gah. Post #108. He got 'em all, including the very brief time jump in “The Naked Time”. :smack:
Yes, she was in The Motionless Picture. She was there when Xon got wasted in the transporter accident.
