I am watching Time’s arrow whie I am “internetting”. I was typeing and looking at the laptop and heard Gul Dukat’s voice … not Marc Alimo doing a different character… he was useing the same Gul Dukat voice. He is the gambler at the table where Data wins their money.
I love that guy! ( Dukat that is… duh)
He also played a Romulan in “The Neutral Zone”. *
From memory. Wow, I’m good.
Watching the Time’s Arrow two-parter over the last couple days myself.
Yeah, I tivo wgn’s TNG nightly. I think it was a generaly weak series… but there are many episodes I never saw… so here is my opprotunity to catch up.
I do like important TNG episodes ( worf stuff, borg, and data stuff) but I can’t say that an adventure show is good when there are rarely villians. My rewatch has shown me that on average, my nightly villian is a space phenomenon or messed up science… not an evil do’er. So I have to say that I like the TNG characters, and many of the episodes are excelent, but in the end… no villians = no adventure!
I don’t necessarily need villains; I’m a big fan of exploration for its own sake. My big problem with this show (and Farscape suffers from this as well) is that anyone can functio in outer space when there is the constant threat of anomalies. You can’t go two weeks without stumbling upon a space-time distortion, tachyon field, or crystalline entity, and yet people still traverse the stars? who insures this?
Health Insurance guys. You’ve got a high deductable to start with, and if you claim anything they’ll comb your application to see if you failed to mention acne at age sixteen or somesuch.

Those sentient silicon creatures were a pre-existing condition. Denied.
Kirk didn’t believe in the no-win policy! High deductable!
Insuring space explorers involves a lengthy application process, and mind bendingly complex actuarial tables.
Gul Dukat is awesome, that dude is a villain that you love to hate; I always enjoyed his interactions with the DS9 crew.
