Dumb-Ass NYT Reporter

It was an otherwise nice piece about Star Trek: New Voyages, which are filmed in Ticonderoga, NY.

The reporter said this:
George Takei, the actor who played Sulu in the original series, made a cameo appearance in an episode titled “World Enough and Time.”
A "cameo appearance" is a short, often nonspeaking appearance in a performance.

George Takei didn't have a cameo role in that episode. He had a starring role in what was, arguably, one of the best Star Trek episodes, ever.

But don't take my word for it. Carve out an hour:

  1. I watched it. It was good.

  2. Watching one of those "Roasts", done for cable a few years ago, left a bad taste in my mouth. Might have been of Shatner. Takei's foul mouth was the worst of the Trek gang. Maybe they no longer care about reputation.

    Anyway, I just watched this show, and George was pretty good. He rarely got a chance to broaden Sulu's character in TOS. Which was a shame, since they had a pretty good bunch gathered in ST. I watched TOS when it first ran. Real shame that Corporate had no clue what they had.

    First time I've seen one of the "new TOS" shows. A bit too much like watching the JV team, but there were flashes of quality. I think most of them need some more seasoning, to bring them up to broadcast quality acting ability.

  3. Will, you do realize that the show was volunteer fanfic? They're not making a nickel off of it.
