Odo was originally labeled “Unknown Sample” in Bajoran. The Cardassians translated that to “odo’ital”, which means “nothing” in Cardassian. The later scientists jokingly Bajorized it to Odo Ital, as though his surname were Odo and his given name Ital.

I don’t think Malcolm does. I actually saw that episode where Hoshi was stalking him and stuff for his birthday and I seem to remember him being an only child. Who likes pineapple.
Aesiron, Liasons was the other bridgeless episode for TNG.
My source. (I hope that guy finds a new host, it’s a great site.)
Q from Aesiron What were McCoy’s peripheral tricorder scanners in actuality?
Well, they never were really anything else in TOS. They were planned to be used as futuristic salt shakers, but Gene decided they would confuse too many fans. They fit the bill perfectly when a script asked for a scanning device.
Sorry I missed all the fun last night. My friends made me go out and do something with them. Stupid friends.
Who played the human form of Isis in “Assignment: Earth.”
And if you dare say the name I think you’ll say, please supply corroboration other than some link that says it. So far as I know, this has never been credibly answered.
And. . .
Where in Star Trek: The Motion Picture where does it establish that Will Decker is Matt’s son? I had always assumed it, but I never saw any corroboration in the movie. Was that something in the script that never made it to the final edition. I think that in the novelization of the screenplay, the gal in the transporter who ended up as protoplasmic goo had had some kind of relationship with Kirk, but that didn’t show up on screen–and may have just been added to the novel.

I got it out of the synopsis for the movie in the book The Star Trek Compendium by Allan Asherman ISBN: 0-671-68440-X
Background info is commented on after the synopsis, so I’m assuming some reference was made during the film as shown. If I break both my arms any time soon, I’ll watch the movie again and see.
The female woman Isis was among the most attractive women ever to appear on TOS. My personal theory is it was the director’s girlfriend.
I didn’t expect anyone to get this. By the way… I thought they really were salt shakers. They were, right? It’s been a while since I’ve read The Making of Star Trek.
Since my three have been answered, time for three more.
What is the title of the Emperor of the Romulan Star Empire?
How was the original bat’leth forged?
What is the name of Deanna Troi’s child?
(All of these are too easy… I’m doing them from memory instead of being evil and looking up impossible questions online. :))
Aes, according to the book I listed above, the items were designed while they were working on the script for The Man Trap. They were going to have all sorts of interaction with salt shakers and the Salt Vampire. No such luck, though. They looked too futuristic. So much so that Gene thought they would never be recognized as salt shakers. So, they became scanners for the medical tricorders. As far as whether they were ever actually used at any time as a salt shaker, I just don’t know.
Viva! Enterprise trivia?!? I guess it had to be someone. I never once in my darkest nightmares thought it would be you. [sigh]
Some time tomorrow, I’ll go through and list all the as yet unaswered questions. That way, our weekday Doper friends can have something to waste time on. :dubious:
IIRC, he asked if he could appear on an episode, which he did playing poker on the holideck with Data and a number of famous scientists from history. The name of the episode escapes me.
Hawking had a cameo in Descent, which he had asked for on his tour of TNG’s set. So, I guess the q is answered. But, I was going for something else pretty significant showing he was a fan. This particular request is what led to the conv about being in an episode.
Not a huge ST fan, but didn’t the guy who plays the pilot in Voyager (Tom Paris?) play a cadet in the episode where Wesley Crusher covered up a training accident? IIRC, the Voyager guy was the acrobatic flying team leader, or something similar.
Sorry it’s so vague.
