More characters: Turq as Harry Mudd, the guy who shows up with a bevy of beautiful babes who begin seducing all the males (and some of the females) on the crew. JohnR and BillyG play the first two crew members who fall prey to the women's evil ways and abandon their posts. ( Hey...if I can't be Khan, whom I have belatedly realized wasn't a Klingon, I might as well have *some* fun in this movie, and being a kind of intergalactic pimp would not only be fun, it'd give Edg's Sulu someone to hate. ) off_world_beings as Apollo, the guy who claimed to be the Greek god of that name and tried to force the crew of the Enterprise to worship him. cardemaister as Zefram Cochrane, who invented the Warp Drive by finally translating that last nagging verse of the Yoga Sutras that had been puzzling him. Nabby as Cyrano Jones, who arrives on the Enter- prise trying to peddle Maitreya-tribbles. At first the Maitreya-tribbles seem harmless, but after a while they start to get annoying because they expect you to sit around waiting for them all the time and do nothing else. Cyrano finally moves on and takes his Maitreya-tribbles with him, but for some reason people kinda miss him. jim_flanegin (who as Judy keeps claiming is NOT the same person as enlightened_dawn11 and thus can still be cast) as the anonymous crew member who transports down to the planet's surface wearing a different color uniform from everyone else. The minute you see the uniform you know that he has only one function in the episode -- to be eaten by whatever monster they find on the planet's surface. Six episodes later the same actor shows up again playing the same kind of disposable character, and gets eaten again. No one misses any of them when they go.
