The Borg are dead. Long live the Borg. Mr. Mack, I just finished finally reading Destiny. Took me forever to actually get started, then I read each one in a single night over three consecutive nights. My boss will be billing you for the loss of productivity due to sleep deprivation. Can I...

I'd kind of like the opening title to say: STAR TREK Deal With It :devil:

I would assume that the Second Officer has some routine administrative duties in addition to "be available and alive when the Captain and XO aren't here".:shifty: In that case, it's unlikely that a major dept. head like a CMO or ChEng would be assigned such a position. Their primary duties are...

The last time we saw Lore, he was disassembled in the Enterprise-D's engineering section. It stands to reason he may still have been there when the stardrive section of the Enterprise was destroyed in Generations. In that case, considering his proximity to an exploding warp core, I doubt there...

But in the future, won't everyone do everything the correct, American way? ;) Thanks for reminding me about not discussing story ideas on the board. I haven't posted here in forever. The previous post has been edited. I understand your frustration, though. More variety and diversity...

Well, that certainly makes it easier. I may elaborate an explanation of my own, then. [Edited for TOS compliance] Thanks!

Just a quick question -- I'm working on a story and planning to include a Tellarite as my XO, and I rather like the naming patterns used in the novels, but I'm stuck on one point -- I have no idea what the uncapitalized middle word means. "Chim", "glasch", "jav" and "bim" -- at first I thought...

He just looks like, in another time, he'd have been some crotchety old farmer out in the middle of nowhere, meanest sumbitch in town.

I always hear him with very feint midwestern accent. Though, since he grew up on Berengaria (IV?) there's no telling what sort of accent he might have.

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch I'd been pondering the possibility of Christopher Lee as Vaughn myself, but I'm not sure Lee (82) could handle that kind of physical work. Then again, since reality isn't actually a concern... ;) Though he could certainly pull of Akaar's just-this-side-of-rude...

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch I concede both your points, though I still think an older actor with less makeup needed would be preferable. Also, if Picard is supposed to be in his early 70s, think about how even he'll look in 30 years. A fair bit older and more weathered than the gentleman on...

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch ^^ Bruce Boxleitner for Vaughn? Vaughn's supposed to be over 100 years old. Even being in prime physical condition for his age, he should look decades older than Boxleitner. IMHO, he should look a few decades older than his pictures on the book covers.

As a latecomer to this thread (and in the interest in dragging it back on-topic) I'd like to reiterate congratulations for Sean. While it may look something like the lovechild of the Sovereign- and Akira- classes, I love both so it's hardly a problem for me. One thing I'm curious about...

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch Speaking of Alexander, Brian Bonsall is in his mid-twenties at this point... he might make for an interesting Shar.

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch That's Darrell Hammond's Sean Connery, actually. Will Farrell plays Alex Trebeck :)

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch We've seen "black" Vulcans, Romulans and Bajorans, "Asian" Romulans, "white" Klingons (TOS-style, anyway) -- are we to take this as an indication that these species also evolved along similar racial/ethnic lines to humans? Are these superficial differences of any...

Woohoo! My first post winds up stickied! *Regains composure* Ahem. Cool. And for other characters -- anyone have any ideas for Ranul Keru? I can't think of an actor who matches his description, though growing a beard wouldn't be a big deal for the right money ;-).

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch Hmm... that does change things... 20 year veteran and still a lieutenant? Interesting. Wonder how he feels about someone like Nog hitting Lieutenant (J.G.) without ever graduating the Academy. For a 20 year vet, someone along the lines of Jesse L. Martin, or...

Re: Casting the DS9 Relaunch For what it's worth, I managed to completely miss the fact that Bowers is black. A few of my own thoughts: Shar-- Vincent Kartheiser. Pretty. Somewhat effeminate. Capable of great angst (he did Whedon, for godssakes). Councillor zh'Thane -- Stockard...

The purpose of this thread is simple (and I apologize if this has been covered before): the DS9 relaunch novels feature several original characters never seen on screen. Who would you like to see portray these characters on screen? Don't feel confined by the way the characters appear on novel...
