huh, I actually thouht Philip Anselm played he part rather well. ~shrugs~

Not sure about the "Jewish" bit... according tothe writers themselves, at least, the Ferengi were meant to represent an OTT version of 21st Century humanity in general; what with profit and the markets being the measure of everything. The name "Ferengi" itself is a play on Arabic "farang"...

I agree that it would have been nice to have some more interesting Bajoran males that didn't get killed off or just appeared for a couple episodes. I don't think it strictly necessary; but it would have added something interesting. With Kira such a stong and fiery character, and Winn a poisonous...

hahaha I LOVE the bit where he finds the Grand Nagus in his closet! I read the actor was fetting in retrospect that maybe he'd overdone the "WTF" reaction in his facial expression a bit, but I think it was spot on. I mean how would YOU look if you found your head of state in your wardrobe?!

One of my all-time favourites too! As has already been said, the acting is simply outstanding on this one; as is the writing. Actually, I find that those episodes that put two strong actors together and just let them ping off each other are consistently among the best and most captivating to...

Personally, I think the first three shows were all great. The first Trek for introducing the original concept and some great characters, Next Gen for taking up the baton and running with it in its own way - staying faithful to the idea without becoming a mere spin-off, DS9 for daring to take a...

If you go with the Terok Nor novels, then Dukat is round about 19 or 20 in 2318, when taking part in the first contact with Bajor, as he is a junior officer. That obviously makes him much older than the actor's real age by the time of the handover of the station. But I think it works if we...

THREE CHEERS FOR GOOD OLD MARTOK! HIPP-HIPP... All together now!!

Thanks, Melakon. That's what I meant to be getting at. It just seems so... prissy is probably the word. Like, "oh, we can't possibly suggest these people are actually going to do it". There shouldn't be any problem with them being together, they're mad about each other anyway. And personally I...

I don't exactly see where it's rape when she's practically begging him on her knees and she fancies him anyway, even though it's taken her being off her head to admit it.

I know!! I've posted an entire rant on it some while back!

There's this extremely annoying scene where both the characters scramble about in some underground passage, B'Elanna has been affected by Vorik's mating drive since they were partially linked, and she's practically begging Paris on her knees to have it off with her. He refuses. What please is...

I'm also a Quark fan. It's a very juicy part for an amazing actor, and I think he succeeded almost single-handedly in making the Ferengi believable. Of course they're comical but when I look at Quark, that's not all there is to him. Armin Shimerman gives the character a substance that makes him...

What frustrated me is exactly what they did with Dukat in seasons 3 and 4! That was the bit that never quite rang true for me, that seemed out of character. I was worried they'd just water him down so much in subsequent seasons you couldn't take him seriously as an antagonist anymore. When he...

Best male actors in Trek... quite a few, but my top 10 choices would be these (in no particular order): Patrick Stewart, Marc Alaimo, Jeffrey Coombs, Leonard Nimoy, Armin Shimerman, Casey Biggs, Andrew Robinson, Robert Picardo, Colm Meaney (may "only" play the everyday guy but he's solid...

It didn't go wrong, it was all wrong from the start. The original series has the charm of, well, the original, and introduced some exciting ideas into sci-fi. Next Generation brought the concept back to life and gave it a nice new identity. DS9 developed it further with an entirely new take and...

There's a lot of comparison to the 7 of 9 situation. In my opinion the same principle applies both times, and that's why the decision is correct both times: 7 of 9 was born Annika Hanssen, a normal, intact human being. She was assimilated against her will and her entire being subsumed and...

I sometimes get the impression that certain characters come in for a lot of undeserved stick for basically just being human. Riker gets called a bastard and other unflattering things by some apparently just because he's got a bit of a temper, can be rash and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Kira's...

they did?! I must've missed that particular episode...(grin) One word on the original subject, it's incensed me that there was even a debate about what to do with "Tuvix". He wasn't some kind of new life-form, in fact he wasn't even an individual in the true sense. "He" was the mere result of...

I know you're clearly not meant to. You're obviously meant to react to him exactly like O'Brien and think he's a stuck-up so-and-so at the start, and then warm to him gradually. I must confess he was one of my favourites straight off. Yes, he was arrogant, which usually isn't an endearing...
