Lwaxana got the Deanna question. Somethin’s not right about that… :dubious: ---

I think one question was what job Gene Rodenberry had when he was trying to break into showbiz (as a scriptwriter). Answer: Cop. Years ago, at a Star Trek con, I heard him tell the story of being summoned to a script conference, and going there straight from work, still in uniform. So, he said, he’s probably the only guy to ever go armed to a script conference. ---

Boy, and he needed to, too! Actually, it was 89 combat missions, WWII. **Aes** , Lwaxana _is_ Deanna’s mommie. Seems fair for her to get that question right. ---

Here’s some more DS9 ones: \*\*Name a species of Bajoran Spider. Name a Cardassian rank other than Gul. An episode of Enterprise has an actor from DS9, and a similar story to an episode of DS9. Name the actor and both episodes. What actor had two recurring roles on DS9? (and one non-recurring role) Which Trek actor has appeared as the most number of species? (this one, I don’t know the answer to.) \*\* ---

**gonzoron:** 1.? 2.? 3. Gotta be Jeffrey Combs from “Cease Fire”, as far as ENT goes. 4. Jeffrey Combs again, as Weyoun and Brunt. 5. Probably Jeffrey Combs. ---

The Jeffrey Combs fiesta wasn’t my intent… 🙂 But you’re right on #4, and maybe #5. I count 4 species: Ferengi, Vorta, Andorian, and whatever Tiron was. The best I had were Patrick Stewart (Human, Borg, Romulan) and Brent Spiner (Android, Human, Romulan), with 3 each, but the Romulan disguise is kinda cheating. wrong on #3 though. I can’t think of any DS9 episode that had a similar story to any of the Andorian episodes. If you can find one, cool, but not the one I was looking for. Anyone else? ---

Yup, 1.5 points for **Aesiron**. (I believe it’s actually Legate) ---

New question: Which recurring or main characters have had a (non-cosmetic) body part removed and replaced (with either the original or a new one). (I count 7, but I may be off.) ---

If you find it, post it. \*\* I finally waded through my bookmarks and here’s the one I had 'marked. I don’t drink often so I don’t know how good this sounds. Romulan Ale - 3 oz Tequila - 3 oz Blue Curaco - 3 oz Apple Or Peach Schnapps - 3 oz Midori Melon - 3 oz Lime Juice - Fill glass(es) Club Soda Directions/Comments: Take the first four ingredients and place in a largish bottle. Put it in the freezer and chill overnight or 8 hours. When the ingredients are well frozen, pour 12 oz of liquid into a pilsner glass. Add lime juice and club soda to fill. The inspiration for this drink comes from a late-night drinking session combined with a bunch of Trekkies and a lot of leftover booze.
