I’m not gonna be satisfied until someone finds an actor that was in both Star Trek and AirWolf so I have an excuse to use the AirWolf theme during a space battle.

Until then, using a toothpick to eject a warp core will work.

According to the IMDB, Bruce Gray was Surak on Enterprise and was also in an episode of Airwolf.

Ray Wise also played a couple of roles on TNG and Voyager along with Airwolf.

Screw Airwolf. I completely forgot Leland was in Star Trek!

I’d like to think it’s just because he’s a working actor who will do pretty much any role for a decent paycheck, but he was also in one of the Atlas Shrugged movies.

That said, he was also great as Satan in Reaper, a show that was canceled way too soon.

The show with the best hero name ever: Stringfellow Hawke. Player by a guy with a name just as cool: Jan-Michael Vincent.

I was a kid, so I didn’t remember much about the show other than me thinking Airwolf would beat the crap out of Blue Thunder.

Then there was also this Hawk. But he only had one name and it was Hawk.

I hear he eventually became a god.

Losing Odo to the Great Link really changed Major Colonel Kira and sent her down a dark path. Here she is, later, sadistically overseeing an illegal augment program codenamed Manticore:

Visitor was absolutely terrifying in that role.

I re-watched it not too long ago (prob 4-5 years ago?) and it’s hit or miss on how well it holds up. Honestly don’t know if I could recommend going out of your way to watch it. (If you can even find it anywhere. I stumbled across the DVD set at a yard sale for like $6 lol)

Plot, character, and cinematography-wise, it’s pretty great. What holds it back is all of the very, very dated slang from the late 90s/early 00’s and trying way too hard to be “hip”. The latter makes it extremely cringe to watch in present day.

Dark Angel

Visitor played Dr. Elizabeth Renfro, the director of the evil corp. Was just a recurring character.

This makes me wonder how Richard Dean Anderson has never been in a Trek after so many iterations. If Robert Picardo can jump the Gate/Trek divide, surely RDA can too.

RDA hated Sci Fi before Stargate. They tricked him by telling him it was a mostly Military-themed movie and show

Not entirely false. I stopped rewatching Stargate because I got tired of hearing guns being fired in nearly every episode.

In Star Trek they usually have phasers unless they are time travelling. Pretty much the same for other sci-fi shows; they are usually energy based weapons.

But in Stargate, they convince Teal’c to use P90s and a good chunk of some episodes is just Tau’ri/humans firing guns at aliens.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’ and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
