Earlier this month, a friend offered to get autographs for me at Paradise City Comic Con if there was anyone I needed among their guest list.
Since I had some Christmas money and there were a couple of Star Trek actors on the list, I happily said thank you & yes.
Marina Sirtis played Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and it seemed like she always had to fight for good storylines. One of my favorite Troi episodes came in season six, “Face of the Enemy” when the counselor was captured and surgically altered to appear as a Romulan Talshiar officer to assist in the defection of a high-level Romulan government official.
Terry Farrell played science officer Jadzia Dax for six seasons on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It’s been almost 20 years since the show went off the air, and it remains one of my favorite television series. Once of the most memorable episodes is “Trials and Tribble-ations,” an homage to the Original Series classic “The Trouble with Tribbles.” It’s a time travel story that made use of special effects to insert the DS9 characters into scenes with Captain Kirk and his crew. Coincidentally, my friend reports that it is Farrell’s favorite episode of the series.
