Frasier himself, Kelsey Grammer. Captain of the Bozeman, IIRC. Managed to blow up the Enterprise four or five times, if memory serves. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aesiron \* > \*\*Corbin Bernsen was Quinn, wasn’t he? > > Kirk’s middle name is Tiberius and his late brother’s Sam. \*\* Actually arguable. In TOS I don’t think he ever actually used the middle name (it came up in the animated series) and in the second pilot his middle initial was R, IIRC. What was his brother’s REAL first name? ---

I think he did use James “T” Kirk in TOS, although I think you’re right about an actual name being used in the animated series. However, I think “Tiberius” was used in one of the movies. The “R” in the second pilot was just an error on Gary Lockwood’s part. His mind had not yet recovered after having spun out of control in the year 2001.😃 ---

ESHT, He did use the intial in TOS. He just didn’t use the full middle name. ---

OK, there’s my three wrong answers (Zek, Zek, and Steve) Trick question: The Grand Nagus’s given name is Rom! (The FORMER Grand Nagus was Zek.) 😃 **Aesiron** : Wrong on Alexander Siddig/Siddig El Fadil. That would’ve been too much of a trick question, even for me. 🙂 It’s one of the others. Right on Jadzia, Worf, Sisko, and Miles. Wrong on Julian and Ezri. They didn’t marry. (on the show at least. I dunno about the books.) 2 more. ---

Benjamin Sisko - Avery Brooks Kira Nerys - Nana Visitor Jadzia Dax - Terry Farrel Odo - Rene Aburjoinos (or however the hell it’s spelled) Worf - Michael Dorn Quark - Armin Shimerman Ezri Dax - Nicole De Boer Julian Bashir - Alexander Siddig Jake Sisko- Cirroc Lofton Miles O’Brien - Colm Meaney 😕 Oh, yeah… didn’t Quark marry a Klingon chick? I don’t remember the last. ---

Yes, sorry I should’ve said 10, not 9. I was looking at a season 1 cast list on [startrek.com](http://startrek.com) to double check the number, so it didn’t have Ezri. Yup, Quark marrying Grilka the Klingon is number 5. One more point. Process of elimination leaves: Kira, Odo, & Jake. Any more guesses? ---

Jake? I give up on the multiple actors question. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aesiron \* > \*\*Jake? > > I give up on the multiple actors question. \*\* Odd, since you just inadvertantly answered it. 🙂 Older Jake was played by Tony Todd in the amazing episode “The Visitor.” but no, Jake was not the other wedding. it was… Odo marrying Lwaxanna Troi in the bizarrely forgettable episode: “The Muse” ---

_What Are Little Girls Made Of?_ wasn’t it, **Helena**? Another TOS question: **A work, previously unknown, by what famous composer was found by whom on what planet while seeking what for what reason?** (If you know the episode, this multipart q just answers itself.) ---

Still unanswered: _From gonzoron_ \*\*1) Dr. Bashir once said a version of McCoy’s famous “I’m a doctor, not a …” What was he claiming not to be? 1. Of the 9 main DS9 characters, 6 of them have had weddings on-screen. Which ones?\*\* * * * _From Fouccalt_ **What does Q claim his own IQ to be?** * * * _From NoClueBoy_ \*\*I’ve got my choice of either a chess tourney, or one of my ex girlfriends’ wedding shower. Not a personal shower. The kind of combined thingy for the couple that they do around here in the heartland. Which one should I do? They are both on the same day. More Gene stuff: Postwar, what significant event occured during a Calcutta to Istanbul Pan American Airlines flight? who has compiled a list of Star Trek nits including several books, a web site, and hundreds of newsletters? What actor, later famous (sure, famous) as a TV cop, had a minor role in TOS’ _The Apple_? A work, previously unknown, by what famous composer was found by whom on what planet while seeking what for what reason?\*\* * * * _From Icerigger_ \*\* What were the names of the original complement of runabouts on DS-9 and which one survived the series (at least I think it did)?\*\* * * * _From Mephisto_ **For how long did Data consider defecting to the Borg (for him, it was an eternity)?** * * * \*From Mjollnir (apparantly the hardest yet) \* **Who played the human form of Isis in _Assignment: Earth_?** * * * _From Aesiron_ **How was the original bat’leth forged?** * * * _From Wearia_ **How many fist fights has Archer been in since he left space dock?** * * * Some of these have been _partially_ answered. If I missed any Qs or As, let it be known. Let’s get some answers, y’all! ---
