What is the social/ethical/legal status of AnthroPCs?
raoullefere:
You just need scatterbrains like Carl and me—can't keep our attention on any one thing for too long. But it's really Border Reiver's fault, like always.

Him? He couldn't keep us safe—he's too busy dealing with his constipation issues (or so it looked every time I saw Keonig on B5).
That 'schedule' line is what I've always heard, too, Binary, from the moment Bujold was dropped. Mulgrew wasn't that bad—she simply doesn't compare to Brooks and Stewart; understandable, since she's not the same caliber of actor. I've always wondered what it would have been like had an actress like Judy Dench had had the role, or, if they had to have a woman in Mulgrew's age range, Bebe Neuwirth. Very talented actress, excellent at playing 'hard,' and Cheers had ended in '93, so she was available.
Kugai:
It's always interesting to speculate on who might have been good where.
I wonder how Denise Crosby would have done if she'd stayed on, got promoted and gotten Captaincy of Voyager
Hell, can't be any worse than what would have happened if one of the two other actors shortlisted for Kirk had got the roll instead of Shatner.
Lloyd Bridges
Jack Lord

Not to be an asshole (haha), but quantum leap doesn't mean it's tiny, it means there's no state inbetween. So if you work with natural numbers and go from 1 to 2, it's also a quantum leap.
Border Reiver:
Raoul, it's good to know - so in the spirit of my marriage - "I accept all blame and/or reponsibility." There, I feel much better now, it's almost liberating.
raoullefere:
Just so long as it's understood that nothing is ever my fault.
Kugai, to me, Bridges and Lord are about the same as Shatner, except Shatner does seem more personable in his early TV 'guest' roles (Twilight Zone, Man from U.N.C.L.E. [guesting with Leonard Nimoy, as I recall] etc.) than either of those two. Don't know if that's a reason for his getting picked or not. It surely wasn't for his scintillating performance in Comanche Blanco.
Thinking about it, though, I have a hard time seeing Jack Lord doing any of the 'impassioned' pleas, speeches, what have you, that Shatner did manage to pull off.
