Anthony Rapp, Lt Stamets
- Thread starter Trek16
- Start date
I had no idea. Thanks for the explanation.
Sorry to correct you, Jarrod, but we, French people, say "mener une vie de bohème!"
Or as the Esperantinos would put it, bonvoro alsende la pordiston, lausajne estas rano en mia bideo.
And I think we all know what THAT means...
I have no doubt that we all know what that means but even if it means using french words/expressions, we might as well do it right, don't you think?! We shine even more!
Actually it was an obscure joke from Red Dwarf. 
That sentence actually means (in Esperanto), "Could you send for the hall porter? There appears to be a frog in my bidet"...

Bah, at less, I would have learnt a sentence in Esperanto! Thank you!
On the other hand, I'm not sure that I use it often! Usually, we find frogs in puddles and in plates of French restaurants!
I wonder if the other guy will be playing a hookah-smoking caterpillar alien.
I was going to mention that in the other thread, but I thought I was the only living person who had read it. I loved that book when I was in grade school, and I still have it. There are also some out-of-print sequels that I need to track down someday (although I probably should have learned my lesson with A Wrinkle In Time).
Whelp, for many years I've been hearing his voice blast from my car speakers as Charlie Brown from the Broadway revival of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". Naturally, this means we'll finally have a proper muscial episode of Star Trek. I'm good with this.

For some reason, this movie came up in my Netflix suggestions. I started to watch and said, "Isn't that kid supposed to be on Star Trek Discovery???"Forget Rent, to me Rapp will forever be Daryl from Adventures in Babysitting:
I cannot tell you how excited I am that one of my favorite actors from one of my favorite musicals ever is going to be on Star Trek!
Do yourself a favor: Even though it features most of the original Broadway cast, skip the 2005 film adaptation. It was directed by Christopher Columbus and is therefore bad.
Pick up a copy of the original Broadway cast recording and listen to it, and then try to see a production of the stage version. Far superior.

It might be specific to fungi that inhabits interstellar space, hence "astro". Or it sounds more (awkwardly) TOS-era than "xeno"
For those who have not clued into it yet - Lieutenant Stamets will be a science officer who is a Mycologist named after a current living Mycologist who is amazing and innovative and just unbelievably cool - named Paul Stamets. Good on you Star Trek, if this is true! I think it's equivalent to having a astrophysics science officer named Lieutenant Sagan.
If you do not know who Paul Stamets is, you should definitely look him up on the internet. He did a TED talk not long ago about 6 ways Mushrooms can save the world.

Maybe they're afraid dumb Americans will confuse it with xenophobia and get offended?
Forget Rent, to me Rapp will forever be Daryl from Adventures in Babysitting:
...Ron Weasley?
Is that you?
Because a xenomycologist only ever gets halfway to making important discoveries, but never quite reaches the conclusion.
Oh, no, wait, that's a Zenomycologist. Never mind.
The characters won't necessarily be the same age as the actors playing them.
And Saru is an alien, so that gives them some extra wiggle room there.
