Pacino. Just to see how much he would ham it up with his trademark quiet to screaming transition. Actually Pacino would make a terrific villain. Get me J. J. Abrams.
:: hops to feet, removes Glock from desk drawer & places it in holster, heads to armory for appropriate gear ::
Gotcha. Okay if I send him by UPS?
Jack Nicholson as a Cardassian captain might have been interesting. I can just see him personally killing a hostage to make a point while onscreen talking to Picard or Sisko, and enjoying it way too much…
Bring me the head of Gul Dukat.

I loved Jeff Hunter as Captain Pike in the pilot of TOS. As soon as I saw him in the role I preferred him as the captain of the Enterprise and I wish he had stayed on as captain.
And whenever I see Hunter shirtless in The Searchers, I think of all the torn-shirt-Pike missed opportunities.
Janeway got me with “Break out the compression phaser rifles.”
I’d wear her red shirt in a minute.
Captain Edmund Blackadder. And his faithful aide, Yeoman Baldrick.
Captain Flashheart could give Kirk a run for his money with the ladies.
Oh, I’m not denying that Kate Mulgrew was a hottie, for she was. When she was fighting the flying space virus alone on the ship, her hair down, stripped to her undershirt and all sweaty & crap, she was quite winsome. It’s the writing that vexed me.
Look, keep this to yourself, OK?
I don’t want anyone to know that you and I agree about anything.
Humphrey Bogart.
On Star Trek: TOS.
For that matter, Cary Grant would have made a great slightly harried starship captain.
Audrey Hepburn.
As a starship Captain.
Wouldn’t the term be “watches”?
I can recall both terms being used in the various TREK series, though TNG was good about saying watch. The fanwanker in me thinks that, by TrekTime, each term was considered appropriate; it was a change of language, like the term “flagship” meaning most prestigious ship to be posted on rather than ship carrying the commander of a fleet and bearing his flag.
Well, there are certain areas of Qu’onoS that I wouldn’t advise anyone to invade.
Red Shirts? We ain’t got no red…we don’t need no stinkin’ red shirts!
Fuel for the fire: Kate Mulgrew used to start every week’s filming on Voyager by asking on Monday morning, “So, who got laid this weekend?” and raising her hand.
I have this straight from Garrett Wang.
Mrs. Columbo. Jesus, that’s frightening.
Wasn’t Wang almost fired for being a prima donna, however you spell it?
As long as our acrimonious Trek fandom is posted for everyone to see, (Thanks, Knead. Why don’t you just give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?) what the Hell happened to New Zeland?
I was supposed to be Governor General, President for Life, Beloved Tsar, send you a couple of billion of whatever the hell they use for money over there a year and get all those babes that played Elf Maidens in LOTR.
Pony up!
The obvious choice: Nathan Fillion.
Gina Torres would be interesting as well.
Or Adam Baldwin. I wanted to see this scene:
Captain Baldwin: “Fire photon torpedoes!”
Troi: “Captain, are you sure that’s wise?”
Captain Baldwin: “Do you know what the chain of command is? It’s the chain I’ll BEAT you with until you understand who’s in ruttin’ command!”
Troi: “Aye aye sir!”
