    Had to remind myself who middle left was. Parell from DS9 s5e22 “Children of Time.”

    Weird how often someone’s existence is simply erased in the various Trek timelines.

    Do bottom right and top right count? I mean, I’m pretty sure top right does, less sure about bottom right given the extent of procedures

      Well, it is the one where they spend entire episodes talking in a language nobody understands.

      Also, if you want to film people speaking in a foreign (or “foreign”) language, make sure that the actors are very well trained. Seeing characters speaking badly what is supposed to be their main language is a huge setback for most people, even if they have no idea how that language should actually sound. (And yes, people are really good at perceiving that.)

        That entire bit is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Trek. It’s so well cut in to the original episode footage, it’s great.

        Which is what they should have left it at instead of trying to put it into canon. Star Trek has always been revisionist, and the ST:Ent episodes were stupid.

          I honestly couldn’t care less. ST:ENT has a lot of fan service, sometimes within canon, sometimes stretching it, in this case explaining something that didn’t need an explanation but neither suffered from it. I don’t see how it’s revisionist but I haven’t watched it in years.

      Top left is the result of a failed enhancement virus whose cure left a large portion of the population without ridges. A weird means to explain the transition from TOS to TNG Klingons.
