Well, LaToya Jackson and Linda Carter have already played her on the book covers, which is at least somewhat jarring.

That was ambiguous: did you mean Maud Frickert or Geraldine?

Nah, Majors is used to playing a guy with an artificial arm.

Who is Jeremy Goldman?
(yes, I know... I love an interview with him by either Beth Littleford or Stacey Grenrock/Woods -- she actually started with "So... you've got a large penis. How's that working out for you?"

If Sorkin wrote the scripts, I'd watch: Robert Guillaume Capt. Christopher Pike Felicity Huffman Number One Peter Krause Mr. Spock Joshua Malina Lt. Jose Tyler Sabrina Lloyd Yeoman Colt (which unfortunately leaves) Josh Charles Dr. Phillip Boyce
Yeah, the actors fit better if Guillaume and Charles are reversed, but that breaks the analogy. I mean worse than it already is broken.

Ah, but suppose the show had been done 20 years earlier:
Clark Gable - Kirk Wm. Powell - McCoy Cary Grant - Spock Keye Luke - Sulu Butterfly McQueen - Uhura Peter Lorre - Chekov and don't forget: Bryan Donlevy - Scotty oh, what the hell: Joan Davis - Rand
Craig Richardson wrote: > If Sorkin wrote the scripts, I'd watch:
Oh, thematic eh?
Joe Flaherty (as Guy Caballero) Kirk Dave Thomas (as Doug McKenzie) McCoy Rick Moranis (as Bob McKenzie) Spock Eugene Levy (as Earl Camembert) Sulu Catherine O'Hara (as Lola Heatherton) Yeoman Rand Andrea Martin (as Edith Prickley) Uhura Martin Short (as Ed Grimley) Scotty John Candy (as Yorgi) Chekov
Then of course, they also play all other roles. Sid Dithers *is* Khan!
