Hey, Mystery Science Theater 3000 raised more than six million in that same amount of time. (Admittedly, that was to bring the show back for a new season, not just to make a documentary.)

Marc Alaimo was clearly not straining himself to play that role, either

e: And I think Odo looked like that in the episode where the Romulans were denying him bucket time

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

I would pay $1000 to be able to dress down Armin Shimmerman and Rene Auberjonois for not taking my question when I was a kid at the Sacramento Star Trek convention during their Q&A

At a certain point I feel like every actor who goes to cons would want to just wear a t-shirt listing all the FAQs about them that people ask them on panels.

I think it's the actor who played Biff Tannen in Back to the Future that carries around a print-out with all the most common questions and answers on it.

Saw the episode about Nog dealing with his war wound.

I'm glad they got around to making a serious Ferengi episode and a PTSD episode. I'd say the way it was handled was really well done and using the holosuite addiction as a metaphor for the various other addictions people get into I'd say was well done. It's also pretty trippy to see that punk kid from Season 1 grow up into a proper Starfleet officer who ended up losing his leg in battle.

Aron Eisenberg and Nog are, in general, an underappreciated part of DS9. He never got a ton of main plot work, or at least the main plot work where he is the main plot, but he was always great when he did. "Valiant" RED SQUAD RED SQUAD RED SQUAD may not on many favorite lists but that isn't because of Eisenberg. "It's Only a Paper Moon" sits entirely on his shoulders and he handles it as well as any of the main cast would. And it's not just the late seasons either, he has a great scene in "Heart of Stone" before Nog joins Starfleet which shows that he had those kinds of chops all along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcATQUFsz68

Continuing my DS9 run through, got to Trials and Tribble-ations, one of my favourite Trek episodes ever. God I love this episode. :allears:

Nog's conversation with Sisko about choosing to join Starfleet is a fantastic scene. I love how he just keeps trying to give Sisko the bribe over and over again.

He and Jake on the runabout during the first Jem'Hadar episode was also great. And of course him stretching out his stereotype muscles in the episode where he travels the river of commerce and sells Sisko's desk for a day.

The Voyager cast usually gets back together for conventions and stuff though. They all genuinely seem to enjoy it.

Tim Russ is a loving treasure, Garrett Wang seems like a really nice dude, and Bob Picardo is a healthy mix of the two and is incredibly funny. Everyone on the Voyager cast seems really happy and I'm glad they survived as friends and as actors through that terrible awful writing :unsmith:
