Did Sisko become a captain? I thought he was just a commander.

I only know the original series....I've never watched the others.Spock,Bones,Scotty,Uhura and Checkov made that show.Kirk,to me,was always a minor player.Yoeman Rand was also important...as eye candy.

Well, they could have had Bruce Green sit in for Hunter. Same character and such.

Exactly.

Kate Mulgrew was major, major hotness in Throw Mama From the Train.

Too bad she was in it for about five minutes.

Mulgrew does not count. Anything with her on captain’s list ceases to be “collectible”.
