Of course, in Star Trek different make-up can make it harder to spot. For example, James Sloyan ( https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/James_Sloyan https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/James_Sloyan ), who also appears in multiple Murder, She Wrote episodes, both as different characters and as the same recurring character!
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThere's one particularly galling one: Marc Alaimo has a major role as the primary villain of Deep Space Nine, Gul Dukat, appearing in 20% of the episodes. He also appears in various capacities as random single-episode characters in The Next Generation. This is mostly fine. But one of those random characters is a Cardassian Gul. (Gul Macet.) This takes place before DS9 starts airing. But it's incredibly jarring if you've already seen DS9.
- joshspankit 5y agoAgreed. He is very recognizable in tone and mannerisms, so having him be two different Cardassian Guls raises some plot-line questions. Especially if you watched reruns on TV (for the youngins: they regularly showed episodes out of order, and if you were in to a show you would have to keep track of the timeline and story arcs yourself)
