I just read this as well. I would love to see Robin Williams as that time-traveling miscreant. Don't get me wrong, I thought Frewer did a fine job. Robin Williams would have made it even better.
That reminds me of another alternate casting: in the TNG Episode "The Most Toys," Kivas Fajo was supposed to be played by David Rappaport (of Time Bandits fame), but he committed suicide prior to completing that role. That's why Saul Rubinek got the part instead.
mactavish out.
Our country's past progress has been the result, not of the mass mind applying average intelligence to the problems of the day, but of the brilliance and dedication of wise individuals who applied their wisdom to advance the freedom and the material well-being of all of our people.
