    I’m not gonna be satisfied until someone finds an actor that was in both Star Trek and AirWolf so I have an excuse to use the AirWolf theme during a space battle.

    Until then, using a toothpick to eject a warp core will work.

      According to the IMDB, Bruce Gray was Surak on Enterprise and was also in an episode of Airwolf.

      Ray Wise also played a couple of roles on TNG and Voyager along with Airwolf.

        Screw Airwolf. I completely forgot Leland was in Star Trek!

          I’d like to think it’s just because he’s a working actor who will do pretty much any role for a decent paycheck, but he was also in one of the Atlas Shrugged movies.

          That said, he was also great as Satan in Reaper, a show that was canceled way too soon.

      The show with the best hero name ever: Stringfellow Hawke. Player by a guy with a name just as cool: Jan-Michael Vincent.

      I was a kid, so I didn’t remember much about the show other than me thinking Airwolf would beat the crap out of Blue Thunder.

    This makes me wonder how Richard Dean Anderson has never been in a Trek after so many iterations. If Robert Picardo can jump the Gate/Trek divide, surely RDA can too.

      RDA hated Sci Fi before Stargate. They tricked him by telling him it was a mostly Military-themed movie and show

        Not entirely false. I stopped rewatching Stargate because I got tired of hearing guns being fired in nearly every episode.

        In Star Trek they usually have phasers unless they are time travelling. Pretty much the same for other sci-fi shows; they are usually energy based weapons.

        But in Stargate, they convince Teal’c to use P90s and a good chunk of some episodes is just Tau’ri/humans firing guns at aliens.

    Losing Odo to the Great Link really changed Major Colonel Kira and sent her down a dark path. Here she is, later, sadistically overseeing an illegal augment program codenamed Manticore:

    Visitor was absolutely terrifying in that role.

    So many guest stars on MacGyver also appeared on Star Trek… It helps that MacGyver was also a Paramount show.

    Also, watch the MacGyver pilot for a surprise appearance by the torpedo tube hatch through which Spock was shot out of.

    Gotta love the 80s, a time when both men and women wore the same business casual version of the mullet.
