Next thing you're gonna tell me is Brent Spiner played the old dude who created Data. They were just lucky enough to find an actor who looked close enough to Spiner to play his brother Lore

    Brent Spiner's identical twin brother played Lore too.

    I just watched this episode. It’s a good one.

    It’s funny how quickly Counselor Troi just simply accepts that she’s been abducted and is playing a spy all of a sudden. sure, she’s pissed at first, but then she’s like, “fuck it, I guess we’re doing this“

    I think it was this episode where Marina Sirtis first noticed the the intelligence of her character's dialogue was inversely proportional to the visibility of her breasts.

    “There are certain rules in Hollywood. One of the rules is not written anywhere, but you just know: if you’re doing an action-adventure show, you gotta have chicks on the show for the boys to look at when they’re not blowing up other spaceships. Second rule: if the chick has a cleavage, she cannot have a brain.

    “So, [after wearing a uniform in the first episode] I got a cleavage, and all my gray matter departed. Which was sad, because originally (I know this is gonna shock you), Troi was supposed to be the brains of the Enterprise. So when the cleavage came, all that left, and I became decorative, like a potted palm on the bridge.”

    Oh, I know this one. Both played by Jeffrey Combs, right?

    Come on now. One actress has forehead ridges. The other doesn't. That's a pretty big feature to miss.

    Just watched some ENT episodes where Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat) was helping some Romulans.

    My immersion was ruined without the overly sexualized outfit though.

    Did you know, in the season 4 DS9 episode "The Visitor", they didn't just use make up to make Jake look older. They used a different actor.

    And when Jennifer Sisko came from the mirror universe, they used the same actor for both those different people... Jenifer Sisko from this universe and Jennifer Sisko from the mirror universe.
