Star Trek (Series) question...

Are there any characters that appeared on all 4 of the real Trek's
(Enterprise does not count).

Brian Thorn...

If you count re-used TOS footage in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations",
then Spock, McCoy, and Scott appeared in TOS, TNG, and DS9.

I can think of a few that were on all the modern Trek's (Q for
example and Quark and oddly enough Gul Evek and if we count Tom Riker
as a real Riker then Riker would have been on all of the modern ones,
including Enterprise) but none that go all the way to classic through
Voyager.

Flying Tortoise...

There is of course one 'character' who has 'appeared' in all *five*
series - the voice of Star Fleet computers has been that of Majel
Barrett throughout the franchise's history! The only two legged

Anim8rFSK...

She's been one of the voices, and if you count Enterprise, there are six
Star Trek series

The only two legged

character that could have managed the feat would have been Spock but
they somehow never managed to find a way to weave him into Voyager.

Brian Thorn...

McCoy and Scott also appeared in both TOS and TNG. Kang, Koloth, Kor,
and Darvin all appeared on both TOS and DS9.

Tom...

Majel Barrett did not voice the computer in ST: TOS. She played Nurse
Chapel, who had a big crush on Spock.

Invid Fan...

And Spock later hooked her brain into the main Star Fleet computer. So,
it is the same character.

Anim8rFSK...

Well, no.

Majel was the, or at least a, computer in some TOS episodes:

Mudd's Women
The Conscience of the King
The Galileo Seven
Tomorrow Is Yesterday
Court Martial
A Taste of Armageddon

and IIRC correctly she was the computer voice in a series the OP forgot,
Star Trek The Animated Series.

And granted Enterprise doesn't count as a real Trek series, but she did
the voice of the Defiant computer on that one.

I caught the Next Gen episode with Bashir the other day and it also
got me asking, why was there never a full blown 2 part (or more)
crossover between Next Gen and DS9? Both obviously were made by the
same people, both took place at the same time and they already had some
characters move from one to another so why not a story with part 1 on

fred_h_haddad...

.

Since not all stations carried both TNG and DS9 that would not have
worked.

Anim8rFSK...

Except for the times it did work, like Emmisary.

jayembee...

Hunh? "Emissary" was full-blown DS9. Other than the opening sequence,
which was an amended repeat of the Wolf 359 sequence from TNG, it
was completely restricted to just one series.

mhadley is referring to an actual crossover, where the first half
of the story is on one show, and the second is on the other.

Invid Fan...

It also would have screwed up later syndication airings (TNG went into
daily syndication by the end of the 3rd season, iirc, so this was a
factor by the time DS9 came around).

Next Gen and part 2 on DS9? They did a great one in the comics that
melded the casts quite well so why not "on screen"?
