Freaking hate it when shows do this.

So he grows some pointy ears and is a security officer, a step up for a thief :confused:

Kind of how that blonde girl in CHiPs was a thief, then a few episodes later a cop :confused:

Or in Adam 12 when they bust that dude stealing a bicycle, and the next season was a cop :confused:

Grrrr

What kills me is Tim Russ delivers his lines the exact same in both series lol

i guess the actor who portrays tuvok was in a TNG episode as a thief?

Starship Mine

Picard is carrying his ass to an elevator. He took him down with a neck pinch

He also played in one of the Deep Space Nine episodes where Obrien teleported into a parallel dimension.

That happens a lot in Law & Order too. Det. Brisco was a lawyer in one episode, and Lt. VanBuren (sp?) was the mother of a murder victim.

Naw, he's talking about something different.

Tim Russ (real name) played a thief in a TNG episode. Picard kicks his ass.
Russ then played a dude in a DS9 episode.

Russ finally ended up playing Tuvok (security officer) in Voyager.


Triva: Tim Russ was the #2 guy to play Geordi LaForge... LeVar Burton got the part though :)

Wow didn't know that. LeVar kicks so much more ass than Tuvok (though Tuvok was great at being a Vulcan, but it's unfortunate every part he plays is the same delivery)

Plus Geordi LaForge translates from French to Geordi The Forge :D

This happens a lot. Dr. Palanski <sp?>, ya know the old lady that replaced Crusher for a bit on TNG, was a babe in an episode from TOS.

If Tuvok is a security officer, why can Picard kick his ass?
A: "Because its in the script."

The same answer explaining the other few thousand logical fallacies in Star Trek (and most other Sci-Fi productions).
