Carolyn Seymour, another of those reliable trek actors who was a recurring in different series (like James Sloyan)

And we’ve got Michael Ensign int he background, a stock bureaucrat actor (he’s even got the alien bureaucrat glasses).

George Coe btw is the voice of Woodhouse on Archer

Let’s talk Malcorian fashion with heavy government fabrics, no lapels but some weird …airy thing for ventilation by the neckline??

Now that we’re dealing with a society that’s close to warp drive, they’re not mincing words. “We prefer meeting like this rather than a random confrontation in deep space.”

Wow we’re over 2000 light years from Earth….you know using Voyager logic (is sucked into a black hole of lack of internal consistency).

This looks like a fanmade framing but it’s how our Mintakan sees Picard in

Liko (Ray Wise)’s boot’s are very workman and western. I feel there should have been laces to them.

Meanwhile Oji (Pamela Segall…wait…IMDB…IT’s PAMELA ADLON AKA ALL THOSE VOICES FROM THE RUGRATS, AKA Bobby from King of the Hill AKA Marcie Runkle on Californication, where was I?) is rocking the bodice

I’m sorry I never realized that Bobby Hill and the Devil were in the same episode. I mean I knew about the Devil but not Bobby….

Random Trek Rewatch: Who Watches the Watchers (Back on my trek dressup bit)

Wow that Season 3 carpet is rather striking in its colors this early in the season. After two seasons of beiges, caramels and brown it’s all greys and…maroon?

Wow Geordi, way to be in on the mission briefing: “why are we bringing such a large-ass generator to this tiny-ass station (runs through reasons and uses deductive reasoning to arrive and the answer and screams EXPOSITION).

The Mintakans are bronze-age proto-Vulcans, peaceful and rational. Their evolution parallels Vulcan…so where’s their dark period of near self-annihilation, did it come before or is it yet to come? Don’t get me wrong I do like the idea of a civilization that mirrors a society other than human for once and using Vulcans is a good way to go.

Today on Random Trek Rewatch…The Hunted! (I’m watching in SD but using Trekcore as comparison)

You can *really* tell it’s a matte painting in this HD cap

I guess that’s why it never got reused while the Angel One painting was reused in several TNG episodes, a DS9 one and  Voyager one….

Recurring and pre-Babe Oscar Nominated actor James Cromwell

Onesie suits

Which Riker correctly notes would be too stuffy for his liking

That just looks pretty neat

Well there goes my reputation

Rest in Peace, Colonel.

Or you know, pieces.

Cuz, you know, you’re a flakey skeleton.
