I've been watching "Voyager" for the first time. Now I've seen her playing a Q. I always thought it was interesting that Dr Selar was on the Enterprise-D for its whole mission (AFAIK), but we only SAW her once, in "the Schizoid Man", working on the away mission to Dr Ira Graves. ("You don't remember anything? 'To know him is to love him is to know him?????' ") Officially, there were 3 doctors on duty on the ship, and we never seem to have met the third. (Pulaski did not serve at the same time as Crusher.) We saw Dr. Hill mentioned in "Remember Me", and Dr. Hacopian mentioned in "Genesis", but neither was ever seen. But she was mentioned in dialogue from time to time. That's a reliable method for television- you don't have to pay an actor, just mention the character from time to time, and we know they're still around. We had the same thing in "I Love Lucy" with Mrs. Trumbull. We saw her quite a bit for a few seasons once Little Ricky was born. She first appeared to complain about the noise and that the lease specified 'no children', and by the end of the episode morphed into his babysitter. She appeared in different capacities here and there after that- like when the Hollywood talent scout showed up, and she was one of the people who wandered into the apartment trying to audition, dressed like a Spanish señorita. Whenever the Mertzes left the building to travel with the Ricardos, we heard a line of dialogue that Mrs. Trumbull was watching the building. On the cross-country drive, she was the one who packed their picnic basket. On the European trip, Fred spoke to her on the phone once, but we only saw his side of the conversations. And when they all moved to Connecticut in the last season, she had agreed to collect the rent, and her nephew had moved in to act as the building's super. But they didn't have to pay the actress. For that matter, Carol Ann Susi never appeared on camera on "The Big Bang Theory," but we heard her yell a lot (We saw her arm once, but that was it.) When the actress passed away, the show bought some time by having her leave town and speak to Howard on the phone, while they figured out what they wanted to do with the character. *checks* If you ever saw the episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" where we met Robert Barrone's ex-wife Joanne (aka "Cinnamon"), Suzie Plakson played her, too. She had a bunch of other roles, also.

That's how I still think about it. I read otherwise the other day, and it's going to take a while for that to sink in, and some practice.

I kinda saw the first one, and I don't remember seeing Bloodsport there, so, QED, the second one. Explains why I had so much trouble recognizing the lines.

Ah, but which one? George

It always rhymed with "Ruth" in my head. I'd never heard it out loud. George

I always liked Plakson. Funny. She was a Klingon, Keh-lar (or however it's spelled); a Vulcan, Selar; and a Q (Q-lar?). I haven't watched HIMYM. Maybe I should. George

No, no.... it was"SUICIDE SQUAD"!

Rhymes with "south", that is correct! With the movie "Scott Pilgrim (etc)", we can go from DC to Marvel or vice versa, with one evil ex played by Chris Evans and another played by Brandon Routh. To say nothing of Envy Adams (Scott's evil ex), who was played by Bree Daniels.

Hm. How about "Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn"? Or something close to that? I'm working from memory, here.

You have the right characters but the wrong episode. This was called Reunion. Worf learns he has a son, and the baby mama learns Worf's dad was innocent. She pays with her life when Duras kills her and Worf straight up kills Duras in the most "this is not your father's Star Trek" moment to date. So the reason this episode popped into my head was: The woman who plays Alexander's mother, Worf's super hot Klingon babe, is none other than... Marshall's Mom from How I Met Your Mother! WOW that's an actress. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0686442/mediaviewer/rm835094016/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Obviously Picard to Worf (Capt. Sisko reprimanded Worf for blowing a mission to save his wife in DS9, but that was well after Worf's family name was cleared). I think this might have been at the beginning of the Klingon civil war. Worf convinced Gowron that the house of Duras was responsible for the Khitomer massacre. I don't remember the episode title, though. George

I was mistaken about the last post on this thread, so let's pretend for a moment it was.... The Ensigns of Command. I'd know the "You're damn right" line anywhere. It was early season 3, new uniforms, new intro, and the first time I finally felt like I could get and stay into this show. But that's not why I'm reviving an old thread. So here's a quote. Name the episode. "A reprimand will appear on your record. Dismissed. Mr. Worf, isn't it time for the truth about your father's innocence to be told?"

On board were the Twelve The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician And the other so-called Gods of our legends Though Gods they were And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice, and let us sing, and dance And ring in the new

"We're all going to die." "I hope so." "Any questions?" "Hand!" "Yes, that is your hand. Very good." "Recently, I made a promise to myself that the next time I got a boyfriend, I'd be on the lookout for red flags. And if I saw any, I would do the healthy thing and I would murder him. And killing kids? Kind of a red flag." "Uh, what's with the javelin?" "I'm waiting for God to tell me." "Jesus Christ!" "Yeah. Or Him. Or any of them really." "If I die 'cause I gambled on love, it will be a worthy death." "What are you guys doing?" "You. We're here to save you." "You were going to save me?" "It was a really good plan too." "Well, I could go back inside, and you can still do it." "I don't like to kill people, but if I pretend they're my mom, it's easy." "I could be your friend, Milton." "Not my name." "What? What are you talking about? We just had a conversation for like three hours about how your name is Milton." Bloodsport: "Didn't." Harley Quinn: "Yes, we did." Bloodsport: "No." "How would you like it if I sent half a dozen rats up your foot?" "You might be surprised by my response." George

Deleted inadvertent duplicate post.

I saw both of them and do not regret either. This one was a little sillier than the other. George

Brandon Routh? George

This show aired from 1998-2001. I wonder if I was the only one on 9/11/2001 who thought it would have been great to go back a week and stop the attack before it happened. Norman Lloyd's character in the series is named Isaac Mentnor. It's a hint for Marvel Comics, where Isaac actually is I.S.A.A.C. (short for Integral Synaptic Anti-Anionic Computer), a sentient program capable to create robotic forms that rules Titan, Jupiter's moon. I.S.A.A.C. was created by Mentor, leader of the Titans and Thanos' father. When Project Backstep is in play, the password is "Conundrum." An Australian actor portrayed the main American character, and a Brit played the Russian female lead. The two actors did NOT get along on set. The woman quit in the middle of the third season after agreeing to film a few scenes to close her character's arc. Her departure induced UPN not to renew for another season. George

Indubitably. George

These verses confirm to me (as I believe I stated earlier) that only those Jews who believe in Jesus Christ shall be saved, whereas Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ shall not be saved. The door shall be shut to them (Matthew 25: 10-12). So, when it says "all Israel shall be saved" it's ALL WITH DISTINCTION (PFAL!!) talking only about those Jews who believe in Jesus Christ. And so, it also may be said that Christians today (both Jew and Gentile) are today's ISRAEL.

Trying to remember if it's movie I saw and regret or the movie I saw and regret a little less.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World Superman Returns 400 Days Anastasia It's not like this actor's an unknown- he's a Legend!

I know ISAAC and Mentor (Alars). I don't know this one. (BTW, geeky note. In the comic books, Marvel decided to retroactively rewrite the entire history of the Eternals. Instead of the last history- which made sense- they rewrote it completely, and now the whole "how do eternals get born" thing has changed from "the usual way" to "it involves the will of a supercomputer". I know I'm not the only one ignoring this. It's like when DC changed Nightwing's costume from black and blue to black and red. The fans completely ignored them, and kept photoshopping the images back to blue. Eventually, someone in DC read the writing on the wall and stopped with the red. I understand their intention was to standardize the Bat family to red and black. However, this is not a pack of cookies or a line of coffee. This is a character whose had fans longer than the DC staff have been alive, and whose fans have traditionally felt cr@pped on by DC since he usually didn't get his due. What he got was fans who got more and more stubborn. I remember Dan Didio was in charge of DC, and showed up at a HUGE panel at a HUGE convention. He said, offhand, that his first thought concerning Nightwing was to kill him off, since he wasn't Batman and wasn't Robin. The HUGE room went deathly silent. I think Didio saw someone in the front row tying a rope end into a noose, because the next words out of his mouth were a LOT of backpedaling. DG has a very big, very loyal fandom. )
