Garak always #1 but Weyoun is a close second. Esp. cause you can see how much both actors absolutely nailed their characters.

still need to read that book by Andy Robinson. Dude was so about Garak he literally wrote the book on him.

I've read it and it's pretty good for a TV tie in book. Unlike literally every other actor book it's not ghostwritten (!) and you can tell at times, but you can also tell it was a labor of love (it's based on the in-character journal he kept on set to help with his method acting) so it's easy to overlook the flaws. If you want to know where he was coming from with his performances and the psyche of the character, it's a must read.

Was that the unpublished book where he wrote about how awful the whole thing was? I remember a goon linking to a pdf of the manuscript in a previous thread.

Yes, Paramount suppressed it but the family wanted it published so it ended up as a PDF on one of those upload sites and it's all about what a clusterfuck the production was

Yeah I was going to say I like the idea of how cultures were transplanted to other planets and seem to continue to exist. Though it's a bit odd that they never evolved and for how long did the Worm people keep snatched earth people up. Eh I guess it will explain itself in time. Show rules though...since by ep 3 you already had a badass character actor appear in it.

Only bad side with hulu is having to watch ads for poo poo that originaly aired on showtime.

don't worry they thought about basically any question you might have about everything

It's such a product of the times - namely the period immediately after the ADA passed when everybody was shoehorning people in wheelchairs into their media.

The episode is also notable because it's the first time Dr. Bashir gets laid

instead of Bashir's crew of space spergs he should have hung out with the BK Kidz Crew in a holosuite

Compare this to Stargate SG-1, where they accidently teach the cold war planet how to make an atomic bomb with their special version of Naqada called Naquadria. They think they are just testing Naquadria as a power source, but then somebody gets radiation poisoning and they realize they are also developing an atomic weapon. Many episodes later, their government calls the SGC telling them to help them or they'll detonate their new Naquadria bomb and take over the space Russians. Earth can't give them anything, since any technology at all would change the balance of power on the planet, so the military dudes say they will just have to show the space Russians their powerful new bomb. SG-1 goes as far as trying to overthrow the government to stop it because it would alert the Goa'uld, but it turns out they were listening to a crazy old scientist that was dieing from space madness or something. The space Americans detonate the Naquadria bomb, alerting Anubis to the planet's presence.

There was also the one where the space Nazis (led by Rene Auberjonois) are in this eternal hellwar against the loving BREEDERS and are willing to trade deuterium for technology and hate Teal'c because he's black and gave us this great exchange

quote:

Jackson: Their world is in flames and we're giving them gasoline!
Teal'c: We are in fact giving them water.
Jackson: I was speaking metaphorically.
O'Neill: Well, stop it! It's not fair to Teal'c.

I broadcast a movie edit of Star Trek Klingon, the old FMV game, in a synch tube channel

It was all shot on the soundstages and had a TNG writer, it was also directed by Riker (lol)

It stars Gowron and he yells at you in Klingon for a while, then you get to fly all over the galaxy on a murder mystery/conspiracy, rough up bartenders, outsmart Pakleds, cameo appearance by JG Hertzler, it owns harder than any Star Trek FMV game is allowed to

I don't know how fun of a game it was (it was a "cultural immersion holodeck program for federation diplomats" that was basically a choose your own adventure game based on your knowledge of Klingon culture and language) but it was an entertaining watch since all the Klingon actors were in full ham mode

What are you talking about? Of course TV actors get residuals, they have since the 1950s.

SAG posted:

Who is entitled to receive residuals?
All performers hired under or upgraded to a principal performer agreement whose performance remains in the final product. This includes performers, professional singers, stunt performers, stunt coordinators, pilots, dancers employed under Schedule J and puppeteers.

You won't get rich off residuals but they still exist.

The best part of that was Pirate Dukat. I would have loved an series about renegade Dukat and Dumar murdering the poo poo out of unsuspecting klingons in their stolen bird of prey, no prime directive or federation bullshit to slow them down at all. Kira can come along just so she can hate Dukat on screen some more.

Kira punches out Dukat after he gets into the liquor cabinet and calls her up on the intercom to remind her that he banged her mother.
