(Non) Recurring characters

Post by Mithrandir »

I open this thread, because I'd like to talk about last months polls a bit further. I see this thread as an expansion of the discussion in the Main Page Nits - Thread, where we started to discuss this, but I don't think that it belongs there.

So the questions are quite the same as in the weekly polls? Who was your favourite recurring character? Who wasn't? Who would you have liked to see again?

Yesterday I watched TOS episode "That Which Survives" and was suprised how many guest stars the creators hired for this episode. I mean, this was Season 3 of Star Trek, there had been serious budget cutbacks, yet they featured three crewmen rather prominently. There was a indian (from India, not native American :) ) female Lieutenant Rahda at the helm (with lots of lines!), Lt. D'Amato (who unfortunately died, but even he had the opportunity to say and do something before "doing the redshirt" - even though he wore blue :mrgreen: ) and last but not least Dr. M'Benga (who had already been seen in second seasons "A Private Little War".
I always liked M'Benga and are surprised of him not being included in any of the polls (a fate shared by TNGs Dr. Selar).

Selar was actually pretty hot, for a Vulcan.

Everyone Suzie Plakson plays is pretty hot. The woman can't help herself. :)
