Who was originally offered the role of Spock on Star Trek?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leonard Nimoy has remained as Spock ever since Star Trek began. There was never a Spock before Nimoy. Although Nimoy has always played Spock, before production Deforest Kelly (Doctor McCoy) was cast as Spock but was later considered better suited to play Doctor McCoy.

Also, in the May 2009 movie; Nimoy will only be playing the older Spock since he is turning 78 on March 26th, 2009. Zachary Quinto will be playing the younger Spock in this movie.

(If you do not understand how there can be a younger && an older Spock in the same movie, please ask a question about it!)

What was the doctor's name on Star Trek?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leonard McCoy or "bones". The actor was DeForest Kelley
Before Leonard McCoy, the doctor was Mark Piper played by the actor Paul Fix in the second pilot episode, and before him was Phillip Boyce played by John Hoyt in the first pilot episode. DeForest Kelly played the doctor in every other episode from 1966-69, and in the Star Trek movies until his death. Since the 1980's there have been other Star Trek doctors, but you will need to ask a younger person about them. For this contributor, the Star Trek of the 1960's is the First and Only.
There is also Beverly Crusher on the Enterprise D, and for a time it was Dr. Polaski
Doctor Bashir on DS9 and the defiant
The EMH on voyager and...
Doctor Phlox on The NX01

Is William shatner a jerk?

Asked by Wiki User

People have said that he was a bad man who thought the show was all about him. He had a big ego. Most of the castmembers don`t like him. Execpt of course for Leonard Nimoy and the late Deforest Kelly. I never cared for him, but he does have a "warp sense of humor." As Leonard nimoy would say.

Why was Star Trek next generations tv how cancelled?

Falling ratings in the US.

____________________________________________________________

When Star Trek was cancelled it did not suffer from low ratings. In fact, it was a top twenty show. However, the special effects of the day did cost a great deal. Because of this, the show was cancelled and to the heartbreak of millions of fans was replaced by Bracken's World.

The popularity of the show generating 3 Spin offs and movies proves that perhaps this was not the best decision.

What years did the Star Trek series run on TV?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would depend. The actual "series run" for each series can easily be added up but some of the series are still running on channels like Scifi and TV Land. ;) If you'd like some more info, message me. Another Answer: The Original Series (Capt. Kirk) 3 seasons The Animated Series (Capt. Kirk) 1 season The Next Generation (Capt. Picard) 7 seasons Deep Space Nine (Capt. Cisco) 7 seasons Voyage (Capt. Janeway) 7 Season Enterprise (Capt. Archer) 2 Seasons ALL of these series are still running in syndication on a variety of networks. So Star Trek has literally been on the air in one form or another for more than 43 years.

How do you say congratulations in Klingon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here's two ways, depending on who you're talking to, with loose pronunciation and literal translation:

qaHoy' (kahHoy) -- "I congratulate you." (talking to one person)

SaHoy' (shahHoy) -- "I congratulate you/y'all/youse guys." (talking to more than one person)

NOTE: the H is pronounced like the ch in "chutzpah" or "Channukah".

How do you say little in Klingon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main way is with the verb mach (pronounced like the word "macho", but without the 'o' at the end". Rhymes with "watch".) mach means "to be little" or "to be small". You can use it like a verb, as in these examples:

mach vulqangan Duj. -- "The Vulcan ship is little."

jImachbe'. -- "I am not little."

mach'a' QaghDaj? -- "Was his mistake little?"

mach can also be used like an adjective, by placing it after the noun you want to modify:

taj mach -- "a little dagger"

taj mach lo'vIpbe' SuvwI'na'. -- "A true warrior is not affraid to use a little dagger."

jagh mach HoHmeH taj mach yIlo'. -- "Use a little dagger to kill a little enemy."

Another way one might encounter to say "little" is with the noun suffix -Hom. -Hom (pronounced like the city "Rome" but starting with the ch sound from the name of the German composer "Bach", or the yiddish word "chutzpah") is an diminutive, so it makes the noun it's attached to smaller or less important than it normally would be. It is the opposite of the augmentative suffix -'a', which makes the noun bigger or more important. Usually size alone is not the distinction; really -'a' and -Hom move the noun into the next bigger or smaller class. Some examples illustrate:

loD -- "a man"

loD mach -- "a little man"

loDHom -- "a boy"

SuS -- "wind"

SuS'a' -- "a gale"

SuSHom -- "a breeze"

Still, sometimes the best translation for -Hom involves the word "little":

QaghHom -- "a little error", "a minor error"

bom -- "a song"

bomHom -- "a little song", "a song-let"

Finally, there's the adverbial loQ, which means "a little bit". loQ is pronounced like English "low", but with a choking sound at the end. The Q (which is different from a q) is pronounced like a choking sound in the back fo your throat. Examples:

Q: tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh'a'? -- "Do you speak Klingon?"

A: loQ. -- "A little."

loQ Qob Qu'. -- "The mission is a little bit dangerous."

loQ vIQID neH. -- "I only wounded him a little."

loQ mach 'uQ. -- "The dinner is a little small."

How do Star Trek Star dates work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you base it on that 1000 stardates is one year, which is logical, since each season of TNG, DS9 and Voyager progresses 1000 stardates per season, and that the year 2364 is coming to a close at stardate 41986.0, which is the stardate of the episode "The Neutral Zone" in which Data makes a remark that it is that year, you will have a good basis. Let us from this agree that the year 2364 stretches from stardate 41000.0 to 41999.9. From that it follows that if we subtract 41 years we will have stardate 0 which will be 2323. Consequently all stardates before January 1st, 2323 will be negative, compare bc. From this it should be simple to understand that you should take today's year, you will have to convert the months, days, hours, minutes and seconds it has progressed into decimals, subtract 2323 and multiply it by one thousand. To show a few examples, let's say that today's date is January 9th, 2008, as it is. That will become cirka 2008.025. If we subtract 2323 we get -315.975, and if we multiply it by 1000 we get stardate -315975.0. In the example on top, let's say that the episode "The neutral zone" is happening on boxing day. We will be at year 2364.986. Subtract 2323 and get 41.986. Multiply it by 1000 and get stardate 41986.0 as mentioned above. By the way. I have not read this any place, it's just how I picture it to be, so don't take it's validity for granted.
