          Not mine.

          Edit: He did, however, audition for Riker and lost to Frakes.

            I’m… I’m just not sure how I feel about that one, kinda makes my brain itchy… And, oh wow! Love Combs but trek would not have been the same. Who else would then go to play all those amazing characters? And, would we still have the Riker maneuver?

    Just to escape the fun for a second, they were actually named after Matt Jeffries, the man who designed the original TOS enterprise and a lot of the look of the show.

    Also, any piece of TOS tech they didn’t have a name for was called a Feinberger, after TOS property master Irving Feinberg.
