The First Naomi Wildman

I was watching the episode Mortal Coil the other day and saw an actress other than Scarlett Pomers playing Naomi Wildman. Does anyone know why they switched actresses? I like Scarlett's Naomi better... the other girl sounded like she had a cold.
 
That was the second actress... Remember the baby?

TPTB were pathetic at keeping the smaller tiers gagging for a sip at paramounts trough.
 
^ Yeah, I thought someone would mention the baby. I know that technically the actress playing the Naomi in Mortal Coil is the second actress, but I was too lazy to edit my post. Of course in the end it is just causing me to write a whole new post...
 
Portrays is rather strong, from my research it seems to be just a voice over gig, which is why some one on IMDB can be excused for frelling up a bit.

Either way, that girl didn't have a tenth the presence (Good and bad) as Scarlet.

Vanessa Branch was a quite delicious from memory.

Logic would dictate that 'portray' was the accurate description in this context. But I won't get picky if you wont? HA! Did this actress not impersonate Ms. Wildman?

Alien children in Trek have this kind of disease where they all suffer rapid aging. Pretty much like Shinzon in Nemesis.

Another good example is Alexander appearing on the Enterprise at the tender age of two or three, despite looking about 8, then disappearing for 3 years only to come back as a moody teenager.

Human children seem to be allowed to age at their own pace. Lucky us, eh? ;)

The moral of the story is, don't have kids if you live in space.

Theory of Relativity :D

a cheap explanation for a silly TV plot device but it works if you don't think about it too much :lol:
 
I did originally mention Molly, but I took it out because, to be fair, Deep Space Nine slowed her aging down to a more acceptable rate.

And the station doesn't rotate as fast as a starship moves. I think that relativity idea's got some weight behind it ;)

Spot, I'm pretty sure, should've been completely dead by Nemesis, regardless of gender :p I'm waiting for the TNG novel that explains what Spot was up to in the time between being found in a cargo container in Generations (that's a mystery unto itself!), and being manhandled by RetarData in Nemesis. Could a cat beat the Borg? Hmm?
 
Molly was noticeably caucasian when she was born. Not so much the next time we saw her.

Yeah, she aged normally on DS9 due to the fact that she had already had her TV growth spurt, ("Time's Orphan" notwithstanding. ;)) but she still aged a good three or four years in the space of roughly a year. (Between "Disaster" and "Rascals")

And I guess the DS9 guys still managed a bit of accelerated decrepitude of their own...Ziyal gained a decade or two pretty swiftly. :)
