TOS is willing to be remade/rethought. TNG is not. How come? (lemmy.world)

Where is a new set of actors for TNG? If a new TNG series/movie was made, who could the actors be for that?

I know what you meant, though. The actor who played kid Picard was only for a one-off episode while the rest were for whole series or movies. I just really like being technically correct. 😆

Does a clone of Picard count as Picard? Some say yes, some say no. Some refuse to answer...

is that fuckin Tom Hardy?

[–] Volkditty 21 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

That's fuckin Tom Hardy in his first major motion picture role, the train wreck that was Star Trek: Nemesis.

Also, while verifying my memory that this was his first major role, I found this other fun trivia fact:

"Jonathan Frakes refused to shave his back for the love scene turned psychic rape with Troi. The hair on his back was digitally removed by an effects house."

Ackshually..he was Twombly the Ranger from Black Hawk Down a year before that, although he somehow looks younger as a bald clone than a tab with a high and tight

What. The. Fuck. Ever.

Riker's back hair just proves he's extra virile.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 15 hours ago

No, because he never existed and I will die on that hill.

Wasn’t he the same actor who played JLP’s nephew in the one right after he was assimilated?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Yep, he played Rene as well.
