The Best Star Trek Guest Appearance

How about David Ogden Stiers?  the former Major Winchester from Mash.

Personally I liked James Doohan when he appeared on THE TNG episode titled "Relics",  one of my favorite alltime episodes.  That episode hit pretty close to home.

Kathyrn Leigh Scott from "Dark Shadows" in the TNG episode "Who Watches the Watchers".

Famke Janssen in the TNG episode "The Perfect Mate".

Sharon Lawrence in the Voyager episode "The 37s".

Regulars from other Star Trek series' in some episodes of Voyager.

She is the best Cat Woman, bar none!

In the TV show, yes, but Michelle Pfeiffer was the best overall.

Boy you can say a lot with few words!  yea, I liked Charles in that role as well, and actually, for the first time, was sympathetic to Louxana.

And yes, that episode with Scotty, god rest his soul, is one of my favorites.  But as I am male, my hormones still love Julie Newmar the best!  I had a crush on her as a kid (I was about 10).  The only time I hated batman was when he defeated her!

In the TV show, yes, but Michelle Pfeiffer was the best overall.

Michelle was fine.  But not a Julie!

Ashley Judd in the TNG episodes “Darmok” and “The Game”

Famke Janssen in the TNG episode "The Perfect Mate".

I’ll second that. I’m still wishing and hoping for my very own “metamorph”

With all these differences, I dont see how women will ever feel left out!  Well said!

I forget her name,naturally! but she played tasha yars sister in two episodes, man she had me breathing hard.

I think her name was Ishara. Ok, only her screen name!  I think this is turning into a Randy old man blog!

Which is fine!  All responses are great so far!  And yea, none of them are not worthy of the title of "Hottest ST woman!".

Don't you mean her daughter?

Don't you mean her daughter?

nope sister. for sure.

Don't you mean her daughter?

It was her sister, right?  At least that is what I understood. Anyone?

nope sister. for sure.

Guess we posted at the same time.  Denise played her daughter in later episodes, but that one was her sister.

I really liked this episode as well. I also loved the one where DS9 redid "The Trouble With Tribbles".

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I can't seem to come up with a definitive list of Trek episodes in my mind right at the moment. I do however have a little story about my brief brush with "All Thinks Trek" as it relates to the "Relics" episode that might amuse the good Doctor:

A few years ago the Planetarium at the Royal Ontario Museum was slated to close. Laser Floyd and Zeppelin just weren't paying the bills anymore I guess. Anyway, they brought in a Star Trek exhibition for a few months and just before it was slated to leave town, I decided to pay it a visit. They had the usual stuff - some props and costumes from the various series and movies, some videos, and a few interactive displays. Pretty much everything was behind plexiglass - nothing that you could really touch.

In one area they had the bridge from the Enterprise NCC-1701. This was the one that they recreated for the "Relics" episode. It was disassembled and shipped up from the Paramount Studios in Califonia. The bridge was roped off with those velvet ropes that you used to see in banks and movie theatres. I reached over the ropes and touched Sulu's control panel. While it seemed like an identical reproduction in my mind's eye, most of the lights and switches were non-functioning.

A security guard yelled at me to stay behind the rope and to keep my hands off of the display. He said that I might "damage" it somehow. At that point I decided that I didn't need some punk kid telling me what to do, so I moved on. You see, I remember watching many of the original Star Trek episodes when they were first aired, at the ripe old ages of 7-9.

Just before I left for the day I decided to take another look at the bridge of the Enterprise. To my amazement there were several 12 year-olds running around the bridge with no security guard in sight. I decided that if anyone deserved to be on the bridge that it was me, so I climbed over the rope and sat in the captain's chair. Time stood still for a moment as I drank it all in - there was a surreal feeling as I placed my hands on the arms of the captain's chair. The controls there were all functional.

My mind wandered back to my childhood in Toronto, and the original Star Trek episodes on our black and white TV. I then thought of the hours spent in my parent's basement watching Star Trek reruns after school in Minnesota and how the episodes seemed more poignant in colour. All good memories. But there I was - sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the Enterprise!

I played through several of my favourite episodes in my mind, like "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Tholian Web". After what felt like an eternity I decided that it was time to leave. Just after I crossed over the rope, the security guard returned screaming, "hey you kid's, get off of the set".

I smiled all the way home.

Clint Howard in "The Corbomite Maneuver". Clint Howard is cool as it is, but being part of the original Star Trek universe, and such a memorable episode, has to rock.

People who were already stars? Hrm... I'm gonna have to say Mick Fleetwood as the Antedean ambassador in "Manhunt". It's like George Clooney playing the dog in South Park and only saying "woof woof". There's something hilarious about a big star being there in that fish-people suit, no lines, being in 'stasis' through almost the entire show, and no one really knowing they are. That shows a fan right there. They aren't there for the cameo, they just wanna be a part of it.

Thanks for the great story Bunnahabhain!  As for the above episode, Worf never did explain why the klingons looked so human in the original.

I rarely watch the credits, especially when they have fish on there.  I did not know that!  You are a Trekkie!

Ishara Yar was played by Beth Toussaint. this is the sister I was talking about, season 2 of tng. http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Beth_Toussaint

Yea, she was a hottie. But Tasha's death episode will always stick with me.

New Trek movie.

"According to Variety, the proposed story will focus on the early days of James T. Kirk and Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission in space."

I'm not sure I'm interested in another prequel.Link

I kind of agree, but then with no other ST on, I will see it. I did not like Enterprise, but the others were pretty good. We can only wait and see.

Well, let's see....where to begin? Frances Nguyen as The Dohlman of Elas from TOS 3rd Season episode "Elaan of Troyius".
Yeah, baby! Just something about ass-kicking Asian women in Go-Go outfits and knee-high boots!

Celia Lovsky, who played T'Pau in the Season 1 TOS episode "Amok Time". She was cool; it was the first time they'd shown a Vulcan besides Spock. She was the typically logical and distant Vulcan, but yet projected compassion and sympathy, too. Her Eastern-European accent made the character.
I also like her because knowing her name allowed me to beat the Trivia Master at a Trek convention and win a prize!
That episode also has great personal significance to me, as I said in this article:

Leonard Nimoy as you know who in TNG episodes "Unification" 1 & 2.
It was neat seeing him interacting with the new crew.

Paul Winfield as both Captain Dathon, from the TNG Season 5 episode "Darmok", and as Captain Terrel, of the USS Reliant, in "ST2: Wrath of Khan". Winfield was a decent actor.
William Campbell as Squire Trelane in TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos"....he was the ~~original~~ "Q". Think about it.

One "guest appearance" I regret not getting to see was Roger C. Carmel as Harry Mudd, in a planned episode of TNG.
It was written and in pre-production in 1988, I believe, when Carmel suddenly died of a heart attack.
The TNG crew finds (an older, naturally) Harry Mudd frozen, or somehow or other still intact all those years later, and has to contend with him the way Kirk and co. did.
That would have been a cool episode.

PS: The Romulan/Human character of "Sela", Tasha Yar's (Denise Crosby) daughter by a Romulan offical (from a different timeline where Yar went with back the USS Enterprise C, and...oh, forget it; it's complicated for the non-Trekkers) was played by Denise Crosby, as well.

You are a trekkie!  But I think we already came to that conclusion on Denise.

WOW!

I agree with you, Doc, she was the best catwoman. Michelle was okay, Halle sucked, but Julie... puuuuuurrrrrrrfect.
