trekker 0 Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Dr who and Takara, I am sure Douglas Adams was a fan but i am afraid that he is dead. He died of a heart attack about 4 years ago. He was a fantastic author of science fiction so am sure he would have liked all the star trek shows. The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy can be heard (i think it's still there) on radio at the bbc website, the second series is coming soon.

DrWho42 13 Posted March 12, 2005 I'm aware he ascended to a different dimension... Did so 3.8 years ago. :P First funeral broadcasted over the Internet. Though, it happens to be the D.N.A.'s birthday today, so happy birthday Adams! :o :P :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted March 12, 2005 I believe Alan Keyes recent Senate candidate in Illinois and VERY conservative, Black Republican said he liked Star Trek in either Chicago Sun Times or Chicago Tribune - could be verified. Also the old show In Living Color used to do Star Trek parodies some writer or someone on show must have liked or watched Star Trek. Perhaps writers on SG1 are also fans. Does ST.com have any such info I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted March 29, 2005 People at Pixar Animation Studios need to be added to the list. I don't know who specifically to add so I'll just put them all. There were many Trek references in Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I was watching The Incredibles for the first time yesterday and there is a scene where Mr. Incredible finds the bones of a dead superhero in a cave and a word carved/lasered into the wall of the cave. The next scene he's trying to hack the bad guys computer and when he is prompted for a password he uses the word he saw in the cave and gets in. The password was Kronos.

Jack_Bauer 1 Posted April 19, 2005 Dennis Haysbert, former President David Palmer on 24 Here's an entry on the Wikipedia regarding Michelle Forbes appearances on 24: Her co-star, Dennis Haysbert, is a Trekkie and was reportedly thrilled to be working with her, since she played the character of Ro Laren in several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 3, 2005 I can't believe I forgot to include The Wiggles on this list. From their TOS-style costumes to the alien character who says "resistance is futile", there can be no doubt. Also, someone who worked on The Big Comfy Couch. I saw an episode once where a TNG command uniform jacket with captain's pips was hanging on Granny Garbanzo's clothes line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted July 6, 2005 I'm adding Jane Wiedlin of the GoGo's to the list. Apparently she named her current band froSTed and the capitalized "ST" stands for Star Trek. She also appeared in ST IV as an alien communications officer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted November 10, 2005 Tony Danza can be added to the list.

Kor37 9 Posted November 10, 2005 That was pretty funny. Too bad Shatner couldn't get into the spirit of things and had to be a comedian rather than read Danza's script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
