Best guest star

Fake news and alternate facts.

 

No fake I personally saw a Klingon called Krell giving weapons to The Hill people and one called Kras trying to get the mining rights on Capella! I never caught the name of the Klingon Captain who attacked The Enterprise in The Tellun star system though!

What episode had the most "guest star power?" I nominate "Dagger of the Mind": Woodward, Gregory, Hill.

 

Krell annd Kras were involved in legitimate deals with the people of those worlds when the Federation sent their Starfleet thugs to disrupt the negotiation. The Federation is truly without honor. The Klingon Empire is a great friend to the peoples of the Tellun Star System. And is appalled by the Federation's interference in it's internal affairs. The petaQ Kirk's seduction of the Dohlman shows the contempt the UFP has for the people and traditions of the Tellun System.

 

John Colicos from "Errand of Mercy"
Montalban from "Space Seed"
Willliam Campbell from "Squire" and "Tribbles"
Elisha Cook from "Court Martial"
Sabrina Scharf from "Paradise Syndrome"
Mariette Hartley from "All Our Yesterdays"

 

Well you could have that viewpoint I guess, Nerys! But you wait until those Klingon jackboots are marching down your streets and shooting people with their disruptors for fun!

If there were a few Klingons doing such things in isolated incidents, they were renegades acting as rogues without any official sanction from the Empire.

If the brave soldiers of the Empire shoot someone, it is for a good reason!!!

 

Well considering they're your own people, Kor, me old son, you would say that wouldn't you!

Hah! Next you'll be saying that Sherman's planet belongs to The Klingons!

Elinor Donahue--Nancy Hedford
Likewise Glenn Corbett... That companion episode isn't one of my favorites, but I will always think Corbett was the best Cochrane.

 

Sherrman was a claim jumping petaQ. Everyone knows the Klingons discovered it first.

 

William Marshall as Daystrom and Arnold Moss as Karidian.

 

I concur with those choices. I liked the gentleman who played "Kodos/Keridian" in "Conscience of A King". He had a haunted dignity. John Colicos from "Errand of Mercy" was splendid.

"You speak of courage. Obviously you do not know the difference between courage and foolhardiness. Always it is the brave ones who die. The soldiers. I hope you will continue to savor the sweetness of your life. You disgust me!"

 

I agree with many of the suggestions here, but let me put in a good word for Steve Ihnat. He really made the most of that role, roaring "LORD Garth!" in exactly the manner required. The role was silly, and he let us viewers know that he knew it was silly - while at the same time exuding menace throughout.

Oh, Yvonne Craig too. ",,,and the anger in the sky!"

 

Like when Garth said...."You wanted to see me, captain. Well....here I am."

 

I was going to say Steve Inhat! Epic performance.

I can never take my eyes off of :

Joanne Linville in "The Enterprise Incident". She's amazing.

Skip Homeier and Charles Napier for "The Way to Eden". Yay brother!

Michael Forest and Leslie Parrish in "Who Mourns For Adonis?" They make that episode.

Joan Collins in "City on the Edge of Forever". Perfect.

Kate Woodville in "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". So Beautiful. Yes Natira, indeed!

After 50 years, the guest stars and their characters are as iconic as any part if Trek. I love them all. So great.

 

Melvin "Gorgan" Belli.
No one else has ever rocked a shower curtain the way Belli did in And The Children Shall Lead.

 

Who were the crew and name the ship that made planetfall then, Nerys! Spock told us it was John Burke that discovered the world though and you know what, I kinda believe him!

Commodore Decker just posted his reaction to Melvin Belli's funny looking dress...



"Straight out of Hell. I saw it!"
