DS9 surprise
Aug. 25th, 2016 12:13 amOne of the channels way down the list in my cable package has started broadcasting Star Trek: DS9, and I've found myself getting hooked on it again. It also broadcasts Star Trek: Voyager, which I find myself sometimes enjoying and sometimes rolling my eyes at (just like the first time I watched!), and Star Trek: Enterprise, which I mostly avoided the first time but am now watching in order to see how I was absolutely correct to avoid it the first time.
(I should just turn off the TV when it gets to Enterprise. I really should. That show is a huge train wreck. But for some reason, when it's on at 10pm after two hours of better Star Trek, I find myself watching it just to confirm what a train wreck it is.)
Anyway, back to DS9. I was watching this episode with a guest actress playing an alien, and I kept thinking how she really seemed familiar behind all that alien make-up. It was something in her voice. So after it was over, I looked up the cast, and guess what? It was Daphne Ashbrook! Apparently she's one of a very small number of actors to have appeared in both Doctor Who and Star Trek.
