What TV show has had the most actors appear on any of the Star Trek movies and/or TV series?


Watching an episode of Frasier followed by watching the TNG episode Cause and Effect with Kelsey Grammer as Captain Morgan Bateson got me to thinking. What TV show has had the most actors appear on any of the Star Trek movies and/or TV series?



To make this a bit easier I would like to only count TV shows in which a recurring starring cast member appears on Star Trek. E.g. in the sitcom Big Bang theory we have Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton, Brent Spiner & Leonard Nimoy (voice only) all in Star Trek. However only Wil Wheaton would be considered a regular starring role with 13 appearances and Wikipedia specifically referring to it as a recurring role. Otherwise shows which simply have the same guest star popping between that show (e.g. 1 or 2 episodes) and Star Trek is not what I am seeking.


From the following site which lists famous celebrities whom have appeared on Star Trek I can see at least two shows that have three actors each and two more with two.




  1. Cheers : The aforementioned Kelsey Grammer, Bebe Neuwirth as the nurse in TNG First Contact and Kirstie Alley as Lt. Saavik in TWOK.




  2. Frasier : Again the aforementioned Kelsey Grammer, Bebe Neuwirth as the nurse in TNG First Contact and Saul Rubinek in TNG The Most Toys.





  3. Lost : Daniel Dae Kim as Corporal Chang in Enterprise (Hatchery, Extinction & Th Xindi) and Astronaut Gotana-Retz in Voyager Blink of an Eye & Terry O'Quinn as Admiral Eric Pressman in TNG The Pegasus




  4. Quantum Leap : Scott Bakula as Captain Archer in Enterprise and Dean Stockwell in Colonel Grat in Enterprise Detained




Thanks.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
