No offense to the great Patricia Tallman, the fantastic actor and stunt person largely known for her work on Babylon 5 as well as the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. The wide eyes just seemed an odd choice.
Also Patricia Tallman:
Maybe it’s just the angle. Patricia’s pretty tall, man
Pun aside, she's putting on a bit of a "deer in the headlights" look there.
My DS9 is rusty, but I think most people were expecting it to fail or go boom. So the portrayal here might have been meant as a "huh, we didn't blow up" type of reaction.
This takes place before they confront the Klingons, so all systems are presumably nominal. Chalk it up to nerves, I guess.
She's thinking of the Pegasus and tapping the console with crossed fingers.
Fun fact: Patricia Tallman plays more characters in TNG era Trek than Jeffrey Combs.
That's crazy. What if their powers were combined?
If they raised a kid together, we’d have a one-person trek series with a few extras but all the main cast is just their power concentrated into one acting god.
All must bow before the acting might of THE TALLCOMB
Alright my next character on BG3 is a full charisma/entertainer named THE TALLCOMB
THE TALLCOMB is pleased by this
Not an extra, extras don't have lines, they are just animate props whose photos were picked from a pile. This is a bit part played by a real actor who auditioned.
The cloak isn't effective if they can read your minds. Making that face helps block the Vorlons from sensing them.
I remember her from Deep Space Nine. I had no idea that was also her on B5.
Also had a few spots as different characters on TNG, VOY, and a bit part on Generations.
She was a recurring guest on B5, and there was a point where she felt like a regular. It's weird that she was an extra, first and foremost.
Yup. In the pilot, but not a regular until season 4.
In Star Trek she frequently had small roles because she did stunt work. Most of her characters die.
In Babylon 5, she was always intended to be part of the main cast. The role was actually written for her specifically. It was only because of executive meddling that her character was replaced after the pilot.
That's why she feels like a main character even before she gets a spot in the opening credits. Her character is filling a vital role in the story, one that was always meant to be there. There's none of the awkwardness that comes with shoehorning in a new character and trying to make them fit like you get with the early Sheridan episodes, or basically all of Ezri on DS9.
If she was that she witch in Ash vs the Evil Dead she's a legend.
Goddamn Legend
Everything I've ever heard about Avery Brooks suggests that this is exactly what was going through his head.
