This is the deepest cut I’ve seen yet
What’s more, his uncredited “Boy - Army Helmet” character in the TOS episode “Miri” was his first role.
Thinks. I was confused because s1e11 is listed as Menagerie, not Miri. Miri was E08.
It’s all manner of confusing, as trekcore lists it as 11, but imdb has it as 8.
edit: memory alpha also lists it as 11, but wiki says 8
Usually discrepancies like that are a matter of production order vs. release order, as you can see on this table from Memory Alpha
I was concerned it’d be something like this.
Title Episode Production number Stardate US release date
“Balance of Terror” 1x08 6149-09 1709.2–1709.6 1966-12-15
“Miri” 1x11 6149-12 2713.5–2717.3 1966-10-27
“The Menagerie, Part I” 1x15 6149-16A 3012.4–3012.6 1966-11-17
Facts! He’s like another Coombs!
“Did you go into the Badlands? Why did you go into the Badlands? Who told you to go into the Badlands? Did Starfleet tell yo to go into the Badlands? What have I told you about going into the Badlands?!”
The one that immediately came to mind for me as my favorite is Omet’iklan, played to the hilt by Clarence Williams III. Remata’Klan was also a stone-cold bad-ass, so maybe it’s a toss up.
In a weird way this humanized the Jem Hadar. It gave then a motivation beyond killing or conquering that made them more relatable than, say, the Borg or Species 8517.
Thanks for posting this thread and giving me a whole new appreciate for this actor and his characters. 🖖
I always liked One Small Step. I didn’t realize Lt Kelly, or at least the actor, was in other Trek. Seven’s eulogy was excellent.
“The Yankees… In six games.”
Having recently rewatched that episode is what tipped me off. The discovery (heh) of his influence over the series warranted attention. Seeing Seven’s transition from dismissal to admiration really made it special.
Seven’s eulogy was excellent.
Unless you’re a Red Sox fan, that is
Omg,
This is unsettling.
