star trek - Is this Beverly Crusher?


I stumbled across this screenshot which apparently comes from the Next Generation episode 'Suspicions':



enter image description here


It was described as Beverly Crusher, but the more I look at, the more something doesn't seem right.


I can't quite say what is wrong. Who is this?? I don't remember another redhaired female Starfleet officer in the episode, so it has to be Crusher right? Is it a body double for Gates McFadden? The person bears quite the resemblance to Crusher but it's just not quite dead on to me, but I keep going back and forth. The person does seem familiar though for other reasons, but I can't quite place it.


Or maybe I'm just going crazy.


Any help?

Here she is on the set of the film Star Trek: Generations, again doubling for McFadden:

This is another instance where you can see Tallman's face in the finished product. In the corresponding scene from the film, Data is conversing with Crusher played by McFadden, but it is Crusher played by Tallman who actually gets pushed into the water. You can see Tallman's face when the camera turns to Crusher being unhappy in the water.





If Tallman seems familiar to you, it could be because:



  • she guest starred many times in all of the TNG-era Star Trek series, playing a multitude of characters

  • she played telepath Lyta Alexander on Babylon 5


Tallman was also the body double for Nana Visitor (Kira Nerys in DS9 ) and Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax, also in DS9 ).



Here she is guest starring as various other characters on Star Trek:

Finally, here she is as Lyta Alexander on Babylon 5

Tallman is also a professional stuntwoman, and her stunt work appears in many films and television series, including Jurassic Park (1993), TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Babylon 5.

harry potter - Do the Kwikspell courses work?

In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...

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.

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. ...
