Tom Paris guy was actually a different character in an episode of tng. The Wesley academy training accident one. Ensign Ro was also a one off alien character in tng before Ro became a character.

The latest episode with Troi and Deanna was imo the first good episode. Almost worth slogging through 6 episodes of really almost pure garbage to finally hit something decent that felt like TNG/Trek again. Slow episode, the best moments where two or three of them were just talking. Every other character is absolute garbage though, Rios is the only one who is a halfway decent actor. I expect the rest of the season to be hot garbage again but at least there's only 3 left.

Agree, this was the best episode, but still hated things non Trek things they put in it, cussing, smoking, other spoiler things. Just makes me wish they did a Riker series even more, but with competent writers, producers and people that know Star Trek.

The suspicion is that if they had used the character from the episode of TNG than they would have had to pay some writer royalties so instead we got an original character do not steal.

The guy who played Tuvok was in that TNG episode where the Enterprise is empty because it is being sterilized and some thieves try to take the ship.

Tim Russ. He's also one of the bridge crew of the Enterprise B in Generations, and he's the 'we aint found shit' guy from Spaceballs

The Bjayzl character was originally supposed to be the cat race and total furry bait, but they took that out and settled with a Kzinti verbal reference in this week's episode. Might have been something to do with the Cats movie bombing so hard.

edit: Animated series reference

It's pretty funny because Tom Paris is very much the same character as he played in the TNG episode

i guess there is one of those "talking dead" kind of shows for the star trek shows, hosted by wil wheaton. easy pass i think for most of us, but this week interestingly had Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and Brent Spiner (Data) on as guests. A true sophies choice - do you put up with cuckWil to get the meaty goodness of Riker and Data?

How humiliating must it be for Will Wheaton to have to host a corporate hype show when you'd expect a character like Wesley Crusher who was a child in the original to have a prominent role in any sequel.
