'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So someone posted the original memo with casting suggestions for ST:TNG.
I think my favorite possibility is Yaphet Kotto as Picard. I love Patrick Stewart, but the mind boggles at the possibilities.
Also, apparently Denise Crosby was brought in to read for Troi instead of Tasha.
casting suggestions for ST:TNG.
Reggie Jackson!?
All the names I recognise for Geordi are black. But the other roles seem reasonably diverse. Are all those guys black?
ita,
all actors for Geordie are Black.
Huh. Interesting.
Only a black guy could pull off that banana clip....
Also, some additional ST:TNG resources: [link]
Once, there was another guy who was wearing the same visor as Geordi, and Geordi had to kill him.
Which came first- the popularity of the banana clip or Geordi's visor. Because it seems like a weird choice. Almost everything else on ST:TNG looks so much better than TOS, and then, hey, they slap some silver spraypaint on a banana clip and call it a visor.
It's weird to see Denise Crosby was up for Troi and then ended up as Tasha Yar. Didn't she decide to leave TNG because she was unhappy with role and the limited storylines?
