10 Behind The Scenes Reasons For Star Trek Characters' Quirks

There's an old saying in the creative arts that you should always write what you know, which may seem like an odd lesson to apply to Star Trek, but while the setting may not be based on our own reality, that doesn't mean the

characters

they can do it. Be it so, there are countless three-dimensional heroes and also villains in the Star Trek franchise and more than a few of them are their brilliance in the extraordinary lives of the actors who played them. My name is Marcus Bronzy, this is Trek culture and here you are. 10 Behind the Scenes Reasons for Star Trek Character Quirks Number 10 Sulu Wilsa Rapier Now Naked Time was one of the first episodes of the original series that focused on a virus that causes the infected to act drunk and yes, it is As ridiculous as it sounds and also if it rings a bell, that's because the idea was copied wholesale for the third episode of The Next Generation, The Naked Now, where Tasha yah and the data, well, you know, yeah , he's anatomical and she's still back in the original series despite how absurd this all is.

George Takei is amazing here. He was approached early in filming by director Mark Daniels, who informed him that Sulu would take off his shirt and go completely crazy. Additionally, he would be wielding a samurai sword or a fencing foil, so Kay asked him to select. the latter cited that his reason was that a samurai sword might be more culturally appropriate back then, but in the 23rd century a man should be free to choose his hobby regardless of his ethnicity for the next three days in order to spend all his time free practicing with the gun and doing as many push-ups as possible, he recalled an incident in which james doon was almost found impaled by his rapier because he turned the corner at the wrong time apparently this story spread throughout the parking lot and the fear in the Shatner's eyes were very real during their confrontation on bridge number nine michelle nichols was a talented singer the fan dance scene in

trek

5 the final frontier is one of the most recognized moments in all of his films however his influence has They went even further by getting parodied on Lower Decks and Michelle Nichols making fun of herself on Futurama, but what's forgotten is that that scene initially came about to showcase Nicole's voice and her musical talent.

This was not the first time the audience heard uhura sing because nicole is a talented musician. She had also sung in the original series, so she was delighted when she learned that this ability would return for Star Trek 5. She recorded the moons, a window to the sky and performed the infamous scene only to be devastated to discover that the version she heard was overdubbed in post-production. In the film she was performed by a band called Hiroshima and without her knowledge or permission while the scene was inspired by the fact that she was more than capable of singing to seduce Nicole she was quite angry and was hurt that it was only her image that was shown.

In the final scene, if anyone can get the recording of Nichelle singing, please let us know in the comments. I would love to hear that garak number eight is claustrophobic from the light of hell and after the picture they both show garrick's extreme claustrophobia on screen. The role in the first episode was based on Charles Bronson's character in The Great Escape, although actor Andrew Robinson was heavily featured in the scene, while Eric was written as claustrophobic, regardless of Robinson also suffering from the condition that caused him. led to a hyperreal interpretation. He was also suffering from the flu on the day of filming, which intensified the description of the discomfort while he was trapped in the wall.

Robinson quoted in the companion book Deep Space Nine described the episode as saying that he didn't have to act because everything was incredibly Real to him in the afterimage, this is used as one of Garrick's main weaknesses thanks to the increasing pressure of his responsibilities during the dominion war. In the story, he overcomes his claustrophobia with Esri Dax, but in real life Robinson stated that he has to go to that. The place is always difficult despite this, both the light of hell and the afterimage are excellent examples of a real-life actor's struggles to improve on-screen performance number seven with his hands on his hips in the third season of Star Trek Voyager.

The macrocosm episode features an alien race called the Touch. The entire reason they were conceived was due to an on-set inside joke with Kate Mulgrew, who while playing Captain Janeway would often compulsively put her hands on her hips, it became a recurring pose for the character over the course of of the show and also allowed the writers to have a little fun at their expense the tactical race was mainly obsessed with body language and gestures to denote meaning nelix fully prepared for negotiations spends the first moments of the episode doing his best to apologize for the Janeway's incredible misstep in placing her hands on her hips is the worst kind of offense in tactical parlance resulting in an almost immediate cessation of talks if it weren't for nelix there is very little doubt that

star

fleet would not have won an ally that day although this would not be the end of her placing her hands on her hips, the gesture was illuminated in the future, making the audience aware of joke number six that Martok will never be able to forgive.

JG Hertzler had auditioned for almost every alien role in Star Trek before he was invited to come. and read for Martok, he decided he was going to change things up a bit for this audition, although he delivered a calm, controlled Klingon performance instead of the wildly aggressive couple types he was sure the producers had seen thousands of times before. they. he responded by saying hey, that was a great performance, but can we have a little more wild, aggressive, classic kapla type Klingon performance? Once he showed that he could do that too, they saw the full range of him and guess what they hired him for in the seventh. season Martok was well established in deep space nine and was a fiercely honorable man, however when Core boards his ship a new side of Martok is revealed, he suddenly seems to have excessive hatred towards this older man, the writers decided that Core would have blocked Martok's promotion.

Herzla felt this was not enough, although she asked to include a line giving Martok more depth after telling Wolfe that he had earned a commission on the battlefield, my father unfortunately added. i didn't live to see that day this changes the entire situation instead of martel's anger and pain stemming from purely personal feelings of betrayal his anger towards core comes from his inability to prove himself to his father before moving on to stovercore This was a small change but the addition of the line gave the two men a much deeper split number five the cardassian neck trick the origin story the wounded introduced the public to the kardashians who, along with the borgs, would become in one of the main antagonists in the

trek

universe.

Eleimo plays Gol Mossette, the first soldier the Federation encounters during the next generation. He sports distinctive makeup designed entirely around his physique. Aleihimo has a very long neck that makeup artist Michael Westmore used as inspiration for the race as a whole. He designed the neck ridges that run from the base of his skull sliding down and out toward his shoulders and all Cardassians since have featured the same appearance when Deep Space Nine rolled and built the Kardashians on the same premise they brought to alaimo back and they reformulated it as gold. cat beyond the appearance of the kardashians in general, his speaking style influenced the way the cat was written with his slow and methodical tone ordering any other character in the scene to operate at his pace, this man was the sole responsible for the overview of the entire Cardassian race simply because he spoke slowly and had a long neck, the right-hand man of Scotty Number 4 in the original series and in most films of the era, Scotty rarely allows his right hand is in the frame, his left hand features prominently in almost every shot like James Duan. he didn't want to show the other one, he had served during that Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day and during the combat his right middle finger had been cut off, although there are

scenes

in the early years where for some reason or another his hand manages to slip inside.

It would not be until Star Trek V The Final Frontier that Doom appeared to relax his attempts to hide it as he stands with horror on the bridge discussing permission to go ashore and about to eat the ration lunch. His right hand is clearly visible. He is missing a finger. and although up to this point he had mainly used hand doubles during filming, there was a scene in trouble with tribbles where the missing finger was noticeable while Scotty was holding a huge handful of tribbles in the relics of the next generation episode which also doesn't try to hide it while sharing a drink with our good picard in hollow deck number three nimoy paid attention in the temple the famous vulcan salute first appeared in star trek in the 1967 episode mad time this served as the episode that introduced many different aspects of vulcan society and revealed that once every seven years spock es dtf leonard nimoy was the one who suggested this gesture in his 1975 autobiography I'm not spock he wrote that he based it on the priestly blessing performed by the Jewish kohanim with both hands thumb to thumb in this same position represents the Hebrew letter shin which has three upward strokes similar to the position of the thumb and fingers in the gesture now nimoy said that as a child he had opened his eyes during a part of the ceremony that was meant to be heard and was not seen during this, he observed this blessing and it stayed with him.

The gesture is now one of the most famous in all of pop culture, whether as a greeting or a good greeting and as less common, peace and long life. can be used as a precursor or as answer number two, frakes made his endorsement and the leg lift was born i don't care what you say this this and this is Riker's original maneuver Jonathan Frakes asserts his dominance over almost every chair he finds in Star Trek, but far from being bad bait, this might seem like it was actually due to a real-life problem that has followed him for most of his life.

Will Wheaton confirmed this in a Reddit thread that a back injury was the cause of Frake's iconic leg. Lifting and tilting Frake suffered an injury prior to his casting in Star Trek when his job moving furniture resulted in damage to his back, which meant he had difficulty standing for long periods of time, which in turn would lead to a slight inclination towards the left raka. He's also known for resting his leg against consoles and the occasional rock if he can find one, which was Frank's way of taking some of the pressure off of him, but his interactions with the various Starfleet chairs is what stuck. long engraved in the memory of the program's protagonists. fans and thanks to this man I will never ride a chair in the same way again number one, a very english frenchman, very bald, captain picard was based on horatio hornblower, one of gene roddenberry's favorite

characters

, picard was going to be a bully, although not as much as james t kirk was designed to be and was going to be viral young and definitely definitely french at 47 years old patrick stewart was absolutely opposite to rodenbury's idea of ​​the character his first problem with the actor was his audacity and after his initial meeting with rodenbury, he said goodbye to him, closed the door and announced to robert justman that he simply would not accept him.

It took the combined team of Jasmine and Rick Berman to convince Ronbery to take a chance on him. He was eventually invited back with the stipulation that he wear a wig to the audition and did well enough to fortunately land the role, although Roddenberry eventually changed his mind about the two beats and told a journalist that in the 21st century no one would care. This left another problem: Picard was French and Stuart was clearly not, therefore there is a tape in the bowels of Paramount of Patrick Stewart attempting a line with a French accent at this point Roddenberry threw up his hands and said just do it with your normal voice changing the character from a Frenchman with a head full of hair to a man with an English accent with French origins who was as bald as an egg and wouldn't have it any other way so there you have it 10 behind the
