[color=#000000ost_uid0]Apparently Mister Adventure was really called Heisenberg.

It's kinda sad that I now know that, but it's one of those things that's been bugging me for a very long time for absolutely no logical reason whatsoever.[/colorost_uid0]

You can't be absolutely certain of that.

Crispin and some-guy-or-another-I-hate-to-admit-it-but-I-forget-oh-wait-it-was-the-rocket-guy-I-think-
wha's-his-name-urrrgh-I-forget-now show up in [iost_uid0]How Much for Just the Planet?[/iost_uid0]

And Trimble or somebody shows up in [iost_uid0]The Disinherited[/iost_uid0].

Oh, another one is--never mind. I'm saving that one for a fiver.

Someone over at TrekBBS just found Keith DeCandido in an old TOS novel. :smile:[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]There's a (t)OS novel set on the movie Enterprise, and apparently most of the Pittsburgh Penguins from the early 90s serve on the Security staff. I think it's called Death Count.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]More completely meaningless random facts:

If you replaced the 'f' in farscape with an 's', you'd get SARScape. :think:[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Reminds me of the DS9 ep [iost_uid0]Paradise Lost[/iost_uid0] where Sisko is reading off a list of names of officers who have been transferred by Adm. Leyton. All the names are those of characters from [iost_uid0]Catch-22.[/iost_uid0][/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Then there's the well-known fact that Dulmer and Lucsly (the time cops from Trials and Tribble-ations) are anagrams for Mulder and Scully.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I know that various real-life astronauts have starred in [iost_uid0]TNG[/iost_uid0], and I think there might have been some that made an appearance in [iost_uid0]Enterprise[/iost_uid0] too, but I'm not entirely sure.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Mae Jemison played a transporter operator in one episode.

The current king of Jordan was in "Investigations," as I recall. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Only that he was Prince then, wasn't it? I did put that in my paper on Trek.

Not to mention Hawking. [/colorost_uid0]
