Star Trek Questions Thread

If you have a question about Star Trek please use this thread.

Thanks.

I'll start, Is there a reason why the holodeck was mainly use in TNG and rarely in other ST shows?

it was, imo, used for novelty episodes, dixon hill, the ancient west etc

ds9 had the ferengi, so it didnt need them as much... tos just went to planets every week that copied a part of earth's history...

Is the guy who invented holodecks spinning in this grave? I mean 9/10 times, something goes wrong with it.

In Voyager, why in the world didn't Harry Kim move up the command post?

Also true or false...Do Riker and Kirk share the same middle name?

Riker's middle name is Thomas, Kirk's middle name is Tiberius.

Going with False.

OK, three part question... Name the 8 characters that have appeared in at least two Trek series? Name the actors/actresses that portrayed the characters as well as the series and at least one episode said character appeared in?

Obrien
Keiko
Bashir
TomRiker
Worf
Spock
Scotty
Q

(don't know the actor or episode names off the top of my head)

Should I be scared about how easy that was?

Remember also Nurse Chjapel played Majel Barret who also appeared as Troi's mother in TNG and also guest starred on DS9. I was also going for Sarek, Scotty, Bones, Kor, Koloth and Kang and also Worf.

Kudo's to you my friend.

he was just an average officer, imo, and average officers dont get promoted that often, though i dont think he was still ensign in season 7...

Who is Elam?

I think Elam was one of the Borg children (the oldest one), on Voyager.
