Just to interject, A wish I have for SNW even though I doubt it'll happen... Another appearance of Mudd. Gotta have a nod to TOS' only recurring not-main-cast character.

TOS had plenty of recurring, not-main-cast characters. Among them are Kyle, DeSalle, and M'Benga.

Probably should've said 'not enterprise crew' as there's a few recurring characters as part of the crew. Mudd is still the only 'encounter of the week' character to appear twice.

I got your intent, but I had the same «um, actually…» I want more Yeoman Rand—she was always my favourite—and the doctorb from «Where No Man has Gone Before.»

I was about to say 'but Sarek!!' but no no, Mark Lenard played two characters - but he didn't play Sarek for a second time until Yesteryear! so, bingo! :)

I mean, I wouldn't be averse to seeing Sarek again in SNW either...

I am not particularly fond of James Frain in anything else I have seen him in, but he was a stellar Sarek. He should return… …with Mudd.

Still think they should've had him play the Brid of Prey commander in A Quality of Mercy...

That would have been a delight. Not to besmirch the actor who did take the rôle, I loved the gravitas & fatalism he brought.

Wait. Are we talking James Frain or Mark Leonard, cuz if it’s the latter, I have some bad news for your casting agency.

Frain. As both Mark Lenard and Ben Cross are no longer available...

Ooh. I forgot about Ben Cross. He was a really great Sarek. One of the highlights of that film.

James Frain just seems like a nice guy :)
