I am tangentially familiar with some of the twists and stuff from being a kid of the 90s, but I’m still looking forward to it. Already there has been a decent amount of Trek crossover too, so that’s cool.
Oh, there's plenty of good Trek crossover regarding the cast.
Walter Koenig (Alfred Bester) was killing it during the entire run of B5. Bill Mumy (Lennier) played Starfleet officer Kellen in DS9 S7E08. Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) played Commander Tomalak in TNG S3E07 / S3E10 / S4E08 / S07E25/26 plus Drennek in ENT S2E22. Who also knocked my socks off was Brad Dourif. He appears in B5 S3 (not going to spoiler anything here). He played Lon Sunder in VOY S2E16 / S2E26 / S3E01.
There's probably a bunch more actors who worked on both ST and B5, but those mentioned above are the most memorable to me.
And Jeffrey Combs in B5 S1!
Really?! Which episode? I just started S1.
16, 'Eyes'. He plays a telepath.
Thank you. :)
And Dwight Schultz just showed up - ‘The Long Dark’ in S2
Majel Barret shows up in season 3 as Lady Morella.
What? How did I never notice that? :D
Thanks a mil, I'm looking forward to it!
Okay, the funniest cast crossover to me so far:
Jim Norton aka Bishop Brennan from Father Ted has a few gigs at B5 as well. He also portrayed Albert Einstein in two TNG episodes. :D
