Clint Howard in "The Corbomite Maneuver". Clint Howard is cool as it is, but being part of the original Star Trek universe, and such a memorable episode, has to rock.

People who were already stars? Hrm... I'm gonna have to say Mick Fleetwood as the Antedean ambassador in "Manhunt". It's like George Clooney playing the dog in South Park and only saying "woof woof". There's something hilarious about a big star being there in that fish-people suit, no lines, being in 'stasis' through almost the entire show, and no one really knowing they are. That shows a fan right there. They aren't there for the cameo, they just wanna be a part of it.

I really liked this episode as well. I also loved the one where DS9 redid "The Trouble With Tribbles".

Thanks for the great story Bunnahabhain!  As for the above episode, Worf never did explain why the klingons looked so human in the original.

I rarely watch the credits, especially when they have fish on there.  I did not know that!  You are a Trekkie!

Yea, she was a hottie. But Tasha's death episode will always stick with me.

New Trek movie.

"According to Variety, the proposed story will focus on the early days of James T. Kirk and Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission in space."

I'm not sure I'm interested in another prequel.Link

I kind of agree, but then with no other ST on, I will see it. I did not like Enterprise, but the others were pretty good. We can only wait and see.

Well, let's see....where to begin? Frances Nguyen as The Dohlman of Elas from TOS 3rd Season episode "Elaan of Troyius".
Yeah, baby! Just something about ass-kicking Asian women in Go-Go outfits and knee-high boots!

Celia Lovsky, who played T'Pau in the Season 1 TOS episode "Amok Time". She was cool; it was the first time they'd shown a Vulcan besides Spock. She was the typically logical and distant Vulcan, but yet projected compassion and sympathy, too. Her Eastern-European accent made the character.
I also like her because knowing her name allowed me to beat the Trivia Master at a Trek convention and win a prize!
That episode also has great personal significance to me, as I said in this article:

Leonard Nimoy as you know who in TNG episodes "Unification" 1 & 2.
It was neat seeing him interacting with the new crew.

Paul Winfield as both Captain Dathon, from the TNG Season 5 episode "Darmok", and as Captain Terrel, of the USS Reliant, in "ST2: Wrath of Khan". Winfield was a decent actor.
William Campbell as Squire Trelane in TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos"....he was the ~~original~~ "Q". Think about it.

One "guest appearance" I regret not getting to see was Roger C. Carmel as Harry Mudd, in a planned episode of TNG.
It was written and in pre-production in 1988, I believe, when Carmel suddenly died of a heart attack.
The TNG crew finds (an older, naturally) Harry Mudd frozen, or somehow or other still intact all those years later, and has to contend with him the way Kirk and co. did.
That would have been a cool episode.

PS: The Romulan/Human character of "Sela", Tasha Yar's (Denise Crosby) daughter by a Romulan offical (from a different timeline where Yar went with back the USS Enterprise C, and...oh, forget it; it's complicated for the non-Trekkers) was played by Denise Crosby, as well.

You are a trekkie!  But I think we already came to that conclusion on Denise.

WOW!

I agree with you, Doc, she was the best catwoman. Michelle was okay, Halle sucked, but Julie... puuuuuurrrrrrrfect.

You are a trekkie!

Sorry, must have missed that one.

Famke Janssen in the TNG episode "The Perfect Mate".

Famke Jannsen! That's why Jean Grey from the X-Men movies always looked so familiar! I never made the connection! Thanks! I know I said I'd never talk to you again, but this has been bugging me since the first movie came out! Whew!

Another favorite of mine that already got mentioned was James Doohan's appearance on TNG. Scotty was The Man.

but Julie... puuuuuurrrrrrrfect

Every young man's dream!  I would have turned to crime if she was real!

Thanks for the link.  I had missed it when you wrote it.  I am a mere amature in the presense of the master.

I did not get the connection until you just mentioned it!
