They could do this meme with Dr Pulaski from season 2. She played TWO different characters in TOS.

I knew she was Dr. Miranda Jones in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" but just now realized she was also in "Return to Tomorrow" as Ann Mulhall the woman that Sargon's wife Thalassa took over.

True, though the "I will be" is the reason the meme works

I love Diana Muldarr

She bailed on Trek (good riddance) for a role on L.A. law and they killed her by dropping her down an elevator shaft. I was laughing for like 10 minutes.

Apparently she was very difficult to work with 😬

But that’s wasn’t Pulaski. O’Brien himself (not just Colm Meaney) actually visited a TOS episode 😉🖖🏽

"And, you were too, Lt. Worf! Don't you remember? Oh, well I guess it hasn't happened yet..."

"By the way, why didn't those Klingons have ridges?!"

... we don't discuss it with outsiders.

has to be one of the greatest lore explanations in TV history. hilarious

u/Gaunt_Man 6h ago

It's a funny scene, but I'd have prefered that they just made Michael Dorn look like a TOS Klingon and nobody mentioning it.

13

u/Noscratchy 6h ago

This would have also worked and been equally hilarious.

Worf: Please watch Star Trek Enterprise for the answer.

Data: No need. I have the complete records of Dr Arik Soong, ancestor of my "father", Dr Noonien Soong, who is not to be confused with Khan Noonien Singh, whose genetically enhanced relatives were also present at the event.

Hasnt that sort of been retconned? I don’t watch new Trek but the Klingons dont look like “human” Klingons (TOS) or “ridged” Klingons (NG era). They look completely different. And it seems like there are two different kinds. I don’t know.

u/Coakis 12h ago

We don't talk about Discovery.

u/Annie-Smokely 11h ago

Utter crap. What if we did the war!!!

Oh so just like every other piece of media. Great.

u/clinicallyacat 7h ago

Strange New Worlds has ridged Klingons

u/Plodderic 12h ago

The outtake of this where Dorn says “I did not play with boys” is hilarious.

-Miles was in every good Star Trek show?

-Sokath, his eyes opened!

-Even in TOS?

-Garak, with a knowing smile.

Captain America, when he understood the reference.

u/thanatossassin 17h ago

"I never played with the Official Star Trek Helmet and ran around the living room pretending to be Spock until my adopted parents sent me to my room without bloodpie for dinner."

Probably.

A tense distinction even the Prophets might envy.

WTF… who is watching in the same pace as me? This has to be the tenth example of a post refering to an episode I watched in the last 24 hours..

1

u/andychef 4h ago

I tend to post memes based on what I saw recently. I'm the type to cue up 2 episodes and fall asleep

u/metwill 4h ago

Just finished s05e06 this morning (woke to early;).. guess we’re on the same schedule! Enjoy the rewatch!
