Well done.

Really miss that brilliant man.

Chest hair makes it Robin Williams more than lobes make it Armin Shimerman.

I zoomed in on it just for confirmation lol

Ugh I always was jealous of Pam Dawber's hair.

This reminds me that Robin Williams was originally cast in what would become Matt Frewer's role in TNG S5E06, A Matter of Time. He would have played the time traveler if he didn't have a scheduling conflict with the movie Hook.

It's hard for me to imagine Robin Williams' take on that character. I know he was a great actor and wouldn't necessarily be playing it as a comedian, but his energy is usually so manic compared to Frewer who did a great job being reserved and subtly manipulative.

Yeah, the last time this came up, someone pointed out that Frewer was probably the better choice in the end because of how much Williams would have stolen the spotlight. Still, I feel like we missed out on what would surely have been an awesome cameo in an already great episode.

This could be a miniseries. Each episode, Quark takes on a new human cultural challenge and interprets it through Ferengi cultural lenses. Obviously they did this on the show but I can really picture a different side of the character coming out in a completely safe setting like his own personal holosuite. Antics might be especially humorous if his instructor was someone who had a unique perspective on human culture too, as the Doc in Voyager did while trying to help 7/9.

I never get why people here misspell "human" as "hooman". That's not the syllable that they mispronounce.

[–] Shizrak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

It's definitely like humaan or hewmaan, right?

But the Internet is used to hooman from cat and dog memes.

I'm pretty sure the first time we hear them say human in Last Outpost, it's pronounced "hoomahn".
