"Hello my name is Tom Wright and I have been an actor for over 40 years. I have been lucky enough to appear in more that one Star Trek series. This is the first AMA for me and I am looking forward to it. Thanks."

My favorite question: "Which genitals did Tuvix inherit? Tuvocs, Neelixs or a twisted combination of both?"

 

[Guy Gardener]

Stomach contents and beyond is my first question.

If Neelix had chicken for lunch but Tuvok had fish?

(Vulcans are Vegetarians idjit.)

(Replicators don't make meat idjit.)

(But Neelix hardly uses the Replicators idjit.)

(His girlfriend grows veges idjit, there are no freerange chickens on Voyager idjit.)

Which regular cast member was the nicest?

"And because of the intimate nature of our scenes I would say that Jennifer Lien was the most fun to work with."

 

[Taylirious]

Pre-Jeri Ryan was the least fun!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It is because we love her so.

I know it's words on a page, but she called him a rapist and a murderer and then killed him.

Is Tom a masochist?

This is almost as disturbing as when I heard about how James Earl Jones and Carrier Fisher had an affair in the 80s.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

omg, I did not know that, that is..!

 

[HIjol]

^^um...wait...thread be damned...wha'???...

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I know, it is horrifying. How could he possibly, if he was a normal human being with a sense of humour, not hiss into her ear at an appropriately intimate moment "sisssterr".

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I am instantly repressing this.

 

[AgentCoop]

I guess she always thought he had a nice helmet.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I bet when David Prowse heard about this affair he was livid! Usurped yet again!

 

[Guy Gardener]

...And if you believe that, I have this Opera House in Sidney Harbour I'd like to sell you.



(It was a joke! Relax!)

 

[Taylirious]

A joke or The Joker!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It shouldn't have been a joke. I am ripped off now.

 

[Guy Gardener]

A joke or The Joker!

I spent last night watching a series of small fanfilms done by the Blinky group on Youtube about what happened to Heath Ledger's Joker after Dark Knight... Well it was really about the corruption and rise of Harley Quinn, but that's neither here nor there.

My favorite question: "Which genitals did Tuvix inherit? Tuvocs, Neelixs or a twisted combination of both?"

I was given to understand that Neelix was modelled after a hyæna and that his genitalia was likely along those lines, or perhaps,
even after a common dog's.

Didn't seem to bother the Klingon.
