I could have sworn Matalas cited Colm Meaney as an example of someone they didn't have the time for in this show that he'd love to bring into a new series.
Haha, I wish I could find the quote to say for certain that I'm not misremembering. It's always possible that I am. It's just... way too late right now, and/or early, for me to go digging.
Who's left? I think I'd be super underwhelmed by Dwight Schultz. Other than him or a strictly DS9 or VGR character, I can't think of anyone who'd be all that massive a spoiler. Ashley Judd as Lefler? Elizabeth Dennehy as Shelby? Robert Duncan McNeil as Nick Locarno? Tony Todd as Kurn/Rodek?
Something Short Android Body Short is shorter than Body soooo... Tasha Yar? Who else has a 3 letter last name?
Didn't they say they were going to bring back Denise Crosby for this season? wonder if the special guest is her.
I will say this, I got some warm fuzzy feelings when Levar was talking about how Mica grew up with the TNG cast being honorary aunts and Uncles and It made my heart grow three sizes.
She's already in Prodigy, so seeing her here wouldn't be a huge shock to fans. I'm expecting something more jaw-dropping.
