The Appeal Of Chekov

[Phaser Two]

When Muldaur sued the McKenzie Brackman firm, several of the regulars were on the stand. If my memory is correct, Dey had joined the MB team before Muldaur was booted off it. One reason I worded it ''the likes of Susan Dey'' is because I like Muldaur better on TNG and L.A. while I've never liked Susan Dey in anything. I do remember one female cast member (either Jill Eikenberry, or possibly Dey) being forced to answer a negative nickname they had for Muldaur during her lawsuit trial. While Eikenberry was a very positive character, I feel Muldaur was painted or tarred as a troublemaker on the sole basis of being a prickly guest star who was doomed to get the shaft anyway. I found Dey much more annoying than I ever found Muldaur there, so if Diana wanted to play keyboard for me, I'd never object. Dey, however....

So, again, what's the source for your assertion?

Dey and Smits's characters were not named in Muldaur's character's suit, so (as ridiculous as it is), they were the defense team for the firm. That's not going to happen in the real world, but it made for outstanding television.

My first-run memories of the 32-year-old Muldaur season. Or 33. It's my version of ''Beam me up, Scotty,'' if my memory is incorrect.

Sure, of course. Your assertion I'm asking about was:

"Guest stars on popular shows can be treated as interlopers, even when they have different strengths. After her TOS spots, Diana Muldaur was considered harshly by the likes of Susan Dey on L.A. LAW [ . . . ]"

I was wondering where that statement came from - Diana Muldaur being harshly considered (and implied to have been treated as an interloper) by Susan Dey when both appeared on L.A. Law. It doesn't sound like you remember or have a citation, and I was just curious.

No offense taken. Rosalind Shays was generally unpopular with the majority of the firm (Leland McKenzie being an exception.) Shays detected her own unpopularity and had her own (guest-star) attorneys make at least one of the female regulars admit to their resentments of her in court. Shays lost her trial with relatively good nature. The statement from that specific episode is probably from Eikenberry. The koala rests. But if anyone moves to strike Susan Dey, I'll allow it even though would definitely violate IDIC principles. Court adjourned?

Sure, but I can't tell if we're talking but the characters or the actors! All good. BTW, Shays did not lose at trial.

Might be a good subject for the TV & Media Forum…
