<< odo was cool... >>


Odo rocks! He was the commencement speaker at Carnegie Mellon University last spring. At a geek school like that, you can bet there were tons of people shouting, "ODO, YOU ROCK!"

--yes, I was one of them. :)

<< Tuvok was in one of the TNG movies playing Tuvok. >>


I don't think you're correct on this one. I remember seeing him, but I believe he was playing some human extra. Look again and I think you'll see he wasn't playing a Vulcan.

edit: Apparently Balt agrees. Cool!

<< << Tuvok, Janeway and Geordie were also in "Roots" -- think they even were on-screen at the same time. >>

It might be that episode, but Tuvok was in the TNG episode when the enterprise was going under a barion sweep, and Tuvok and his people tried to steal the enterprise.

Uh, I'm talking about sharing screen time in "Roots."

More Trek trivia:

The actor who plays Ben Sisko's father was in Star Treks 4 and 6 as a Star Fleet Admiral. The actor who plays Odo was also in Star Trek 6, also playing a Star Fleet Admiral. The actor who plays Dr. Phlox currently appears in New York State Smokers Quitline commercials.

But I have one question:

I was always under the impression that Tom Paris plays the same character he played in TNG. Both are great shuttle pilots. Both were expelled from Star Fleet academy... He's about the right age too, for the continuation of that character.

<< Actually I just remembered seeing that Tuvok guy and assumed he was playing the same character since Vulcans live so much longer than humans don't they? Anyways, if they do, then it's entirely feasible that he was playing the same character as he does in Voy except someone messed up in the makeup dept. >>



nah, it was the same guy but he was playing a human, not a vulcan, not a makeup mistake

Merely a coincidence.

I suppose some parts were just "written" for a particular character and the actor that Duncan just fits the bill, numerous times.
