That's Sesame Street, not the Muppets.

Damn, you're right. How about "confirmed, disabling safety protocols. Yaaaaaaaaay". Or "I'll disable your safety protocols, wakka wakka" or even "meep meep meep meep, meep meep."

I feel like Picard could be Statler or Waldorf...

Is Troi Ms Piggy? Riker Kermit? LaForge and Data Bunsen and Beaker? Fozzy Wesley? Gonzo Barkley?

Worf is Sam Eagle.

Maybe she hasn't met her preferred muppets yet...

Funny thing is that Gates McFadden worked for the Jim Henson Creature Shop for a long time before she was ever in Star Trek. In fact, she was a choreographer in the movie Labyrinth for that creepy-ass scene where the creatures all sing while pulling their heads off.

Wtf

Edit: she also choreographed several other scenes. This is just the one that stuck out in my memory from when I was a kid.

Chilly down with the fire gang

That was my absolute favorite scene as a kid tbh.

So I can blame her for traumating my childhood? I had nightmares for weeks.

[-] negativenull@piefed.world 1 points 2 months ago

She uses the name "Cheryl McFaddon" when working as a choreographer.

[-] blave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That’s her real name. She uses the stage name “Gates” when she acts.

Bold of her to ditch the “Cheryl” and keep the “McFadden”

[-] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Why would she pick a name like "Gates" on purpose?

[-] __ahhhhh@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

It's her middle name

So that WAS her in the behind the scenes documentary. She was never interviewed but was visible in the background showing a group of dancers how to move. I went to look this up just now and learned she used Cheryl McFadden for dancing and Gates McFadden for acting.

[-] blave@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

OK, now I didn’t know that. What documentary are you referring to? I should check it out!

Beverly: "I don't have time for games! Just tell me which one of you is Wesley's father."
