I'm not sure what's funnier... Tim Russ being an emotionless sperg or Garrett Wang trying to connect with him over rap.

NO TENGO SCORPIO


The kid that played Chekov in the JJ Trek movies just died of being pinned to his mailbox by his idling car.

Someone in this thread was a huge fan if I recall.

So let us all grieve together as we list off which cast members it was that we'd prefer to have died instead.

I'll start with Whil Wheatin.

There are no actors of trek I want to see dead. But I wouldn't complain if Berman exploded.

To be fair scifi in the 80s was really really really really poo poo.

in order to present its "advanced, enlightened sensibilities" image, starfleet insists that no ship may exhibit all three of the qualities from that famous saying of the Royal Navy: "rum, sodomy, and the lash"


each starship commander is therefore required to select one which is forbidden from the ship.

What shame they didn't thaw out Shane McGowan instead of the alcoholic country music star.

e: so the lash has been replaced by an agonizer or is that strictly mirror universe?

Of the whole TOS crew, I like Walter the best.
I wonder if he liked Babyon 5 or TOS the most.

I remember interviews with him saying how great Bester was to play as a character (and, really, you can tell how much he enjoys being that magnificent bastard in every episode he's in), particularly because everyone always knew him as NUCLEAR WESSELS Chekov kind of stuff.

So, probably B5.

Yeah, Season 5 is a bit rough. You've got the poor telepath arc (but it gives great Bester episodes, so...) but the Centauri arc through to the end of the season is incredible. B5's final episode is the best of any series I've seen.
