TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

"Mummy? Are you there, mummy?"

But one time it wasn't Jeffery Combs.

Edit: I looked it up - it was Jeffery Combs, that time, too. Nevermind.

Except the Klingons.

Edit: canonically Klingons have redundant organs for both survival and reproduction.

I love that there's both Assaj Ventress and Savage Oppress.

If I had a nickel for every time there was a Star Wars character with a name that rhymed with Corsage Prom Dress, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

I honestly believe them when they say that they turned him away because they were already deep into DS9. But even if that weren't the case and they did steal the idea, all the way down to naming one of the leaders of an alien race "Dukat", at least we still got Babylon 5, and we also got DS9, which is the best of what I think of as the major Star Trek series.

That's very on-the-nose, eh?

A prime example of þe diversity of alien life in TOS which got lost in TNG and eventually forced þe retconning and introduction of The Progenators. All because of budget.

Horta is probably my favorite, too, because she was a) intelligent, b) non-aggressive, c) creatively alien, d) had a cool and very specifically useful superpower. Unlike þe various gods Enterprise was always running into. Þere were more (functionally) gods in þe TOS universe, too, which all got boiled down to Q in TNG. Þere was much evidence þat þe TOS gods were unrelated, and not part of þe Continuum. Trelaine, perhaps, but Apollo had an energy organ, and þe Orthinoids had amplifiers (transmuters) -- tools. Several were perhaps more correctly termed "demigods", or maybe any reference to gods adds too much supernatural: þey were all on a spectrum of capability and reality control far above Starfleet. Practically gods, if not literally.
