Just off the top of my head from Cheers there's: Kelsey Grammer (Capt of the Boseman in TNG's "Cause and Effect") Bebe Neuwirth ( Kirstie Alley in Wrath of Khan John Ratzenberger in Empire Strikes Back Ted Danson in the Orville

Watching TNG for the first time ever and had to stop season 2's The Emissary and look up the full cast because an out-of-focus Diedrich Bader has a couple of lines and my brain could NOT let go of the fact that I knew him from something, unlike literally everyone else to appear on the show where it's a constant game of "Oh! It's them! From thing before/after this!" Gotta say, it's drat good sci fi, I'd seen the movies in the VHS era but as someone who previously liked SG1 best out of all the Star Something franchises I had no idea what I was missing out on.

I like DS9 better but DS9 only works as well as it does when it's in conversation with the baseline that TNG established. It wouldn't be nearly as good if it didn't play off of what came before.

tng at least had a better finale than ds9. for the rest, i'd put it down to personal preference.

It wouldn't be nearly as good if it didn't play off of what came before. This is also my take. DS9 is higher quality, but it wouldn't work without familiarity with the world (and more importantly, worldview) of TNG.

I'd be fine with Sisko coming back for a family reunion on Lower Decks. Bring back Cirroc Lofton, Penny Johnson Jerald and Avery Brooks to do sone voicework and give them a happy ending away from the Star Trek: Picard misery hour.

Has anybody here ever seen Roots: The Gift? It's a Christmas special with the cast of Roots, featuring both Kate Mulgrew and Avery Brooks in prominent roles, as well as LeVar Burton reprising his role of Kunta Kinte. (Tim Russ also appears, but his part is much less prominent). It's quite good if you're at all fans of those actors/Roots generally.

picard season 3 ep 1: We open on Picard's android body being horribly tortured by those weird new Romulans. He wakes up screaming, in his quarters, on the Enterprise-E. Sweaty and bleary-eyed, he puts on his blue uniform complete with his lieutenant pips and heads to work in astrophysics. Because that timeline still kept going, all timelines still keep going. and every night old Lieutenant Picard dreams of different Picards, dying. He has always done this. He always wondered why. He has tried everything, that isn't too dangerous. Psychotherapists. Neurologists. All baffled, and saddened, at the burdens of this nice scientist. But today he will find an answer. A flash, just as he is about to leave his quarters. Q: Picard. JL: [spins around, terrified] Who are you? What are you doing in my quarters? [he taps his commbadge] Security to deck 4 section 13! [no reply] Stay back! Q: They aren't going to hear you, Picard. I am... your father. Of a sort. JL: My father? Q: Those dreams, you see. [Picard is shocked] Q: The only universe Jean Luc Picard was timid would be one where the universe tortured him, every night, of absolutely realistic visions of him and and everyone he loved, dying. JL: Timid? Q: I... needed that universe to exist, you see, because I... [embarrassed] needed to prove a point. Picard said something WRONG, you see, and I needed to... show him. It was funny, I thought, or at least a bit artful. So I just made a timeline, exactly like his but where he – you – had a psychic ability to see through the infinitudes of possibility, to pierce the infinitesimally thin sheet that separates what is, and what would have been. JL: To prove a point. Q: Yes. JL: I see. Can you stop the dreams, please? Q: I'm afraid not. It's your entire universe's reason for existing. I could end your universe, of course. My point HAS been proven. You wouldn't feel a thing. JL: NO! No. No. Please. What do you want. Q: Well I did sort of... forget about you. Here. To be fair, I've been very busy. But in retrospect, after some soul-searching, I can't help but feel a little bit of remorse. JL: For creating a torture universe to torture me into proving a point to some other version of me? Q: Well put. So I am here to try and make it right. I have decided to give you a wish. Since this entire universe is about you, after all, it only seems fair that you are comfortable in it. Name it. JL: A wish? [by this point he is red with anger. he takes a second, after which he takes on a familiar ice] All I ever wanted was an answer. You've given me that. All I ever needed was safety. Which doesn't exist. [a beat.] All those nightmares, they're all real. There are Picards out there in danger, dying. And I'm linked to them, by you, by the rules of this universe. So I am going to go out there and [deep breath] save them. Q: [looking ashen-faced] Hey, now, Picard. There's rules against that sort of thing you know? JL: And there aren't rules against creating universes? Q: Wouldn't you prefer to be emperor of a hedonistic palace of earthly... JL: No I wouldn't. I've seen how those types of emperors end, remember? Q: Come now, Picard. This isn't you [gesturing to his uniform]. You're no hero. JL: It's all me. It was all me. And you? I remember you from so many dreams... Q. [Q sharply inhales at this] Your wishes and your presence are not required. I have some... quantum physics to research. And some people to save. We pan down to his bookshelf, passing classic literature and technical treatises until we land on a dusty spine of a Starfleet Academy graduate thesis TAPESTRY OF THREADS: THE PHYSICS OF WORLDLINES by one Jean Luc Picard. And below that, a device concealed underneath the lip of the bookshelf starts blinking, and after a few seconds, dissolves away. chaosbreather fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Aug 9, 2022 |

Nah, it's not the door that's confusing it's the nonliminal space of going through the door as expected and winding up back in the hotel. It's just shown poorly with a static shot and the transparent doors.
