I couldn’t find a higher resolution image of is this, sorry.
“Soap opera actress Cheryl McFadden”
TIL.
Also, Levar Burton as the new Spock?
Yeah, it really should’ve read “Levar Burton - The New Scotty?” To which people would’ve been like “a black Scotty, WTF?” It’s kind of interesting how much the original dynamic was broken apart with the TNG crew, and glad they tried doing something different instead of just a carbon copy reboot. Some just don’t translate or were completely new “roles” that just didn’t exist in TOS.
- Kirk (Picard + Riker)
- Spock (Data)
- Bones (Crusher + Worf)
- Scotty (LaForge)
- Uhuru (Yar + Guinan + Troi)
- Sulu (Data)
- Chekov (Wesley)
- Red shirts (Gold shirts)
Yep.
TOS fans in 1987: “This Next Generation show is nothing like TOS and ruins everything about Star Trek!”
TNG fans in 1993: “Deep Space 9 isn’t about exploration, so it ruins everything about Star Trek!”
DS9 fans in 1995: “Voyager isn’t going to have Klingons or Romulans and the only Vulcan is black, so it ruins everything about Star Trek!”
Voyager fans in 2001: “Enterprise is a prequel, so we know exactly what will happen, so it ruins everything about Star Trek!”
Enterprise fans a few years ago- hell, take your pick of bitching.
