The episode contains the added revelation that the character of Tuvok was on Sulu's ship Excelsior at the time. In the Voyager episode " Flashback", events from the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) play a pivotal role, and are reenacted with the same actors, thus allowing George Takei to reprise his role as Hikaru Sulu. This episode was widely criticized by both cast members and fans for playing more like a Next Generation episode to the point of being an inappropriate wrap-up for the series. William Riker and Deanna Troi from The Next Generation appear in a flash-forward to the future in " These Are the Voyages.", the final episode of Enterprise. Critic Matthew Kappell notes that the new episode simultaneously "parodies and valorizes" the original series, highlighting the discontinuities between two eras of Trek while trying simultaneously to weave them together. The episode was designed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the original series. In addition to extensive archival footage of cast from the original series, actor Charlie Brill (portraying Klingon spy Arne Darvin) appears in both new and archival footage. Recycled footage from the original series episode " The Trouble with Tribbles" is used extensively in Deep Space Nine 's time-travel episode " Trials and Tribble-ations". Scotty appears in TNG Season 6, Episode 4 " Relics". Critics such as Ina Rae Hark have noted this encounter between two non-human characters in which they summarize their contrasting attitudes to humanity, Data embodying Spock's ideal of pure logic, while Data aspires to be more human. Spock meets Data and they exchange opinions on the relative value of logic and emotion, and share mutual impressions of Next Generation 's Captain Picard (who for Spock is a model of logical behavior, and for Data is a model of what it means to be human). Miles O'Brien reprised his Next Generation role in that series' finale " All Good Things.".Įpisodes and films focused on crossovers Television-to-television crossover Īn especially significant crossover is Spock's appearance on the two-part Next Generation episode " Unification". While not seen as often as Chief O'Brien, his wife Keiko O'Brien also transitioned as a series regular guest star from The Next Generation to Deep Space Nine, bringing their daughter Molly. Chief O'Brien had appeared in fifty episodes of The Next Generation, but only gained opening credits billing on DS9, in which he appeared in almost every episode of all seven seasons. Worf stayed on The Next Generation until its conclusion, then transferred from the start of season 4 of DS9.
