- When I listened to this line again on my VCR I became
- convinced that the voice of the captain was none other than
- George Takei. He wasn't in the credits, but he's been on the
- show once or twice before. There was a post on here some time
- back to the effect that the Nimoy cameos were originally
- intended for GT. Two questions:
- 1) Can I have a second on my ID of Takei? and
- B) If this is a correct guess, what's the deal with
- Nimoy replacing him, his not being credited, etc.?
