woody harrelson and rhea perlman would have made good ST villains.

William Marshall, the Shakespearean actor who created "The Ultimate Computer," went on to be Blacula AND Pee-wee's King of Cartoons

gary lockwood appearing in both ST and 2001 within the span of a few years makes me wonder if general audiences already had the sense of how cheesy the special effects, set/costume design were by comparison.

that ST pilot Lockwood appeared in was shot in '65, I think -- probably immediately before Kubrick began production.

But the disparity of time and budget couldn't be more vast.

(i mean, Kubrick and Douglas Trumbull pioneered effects for 2001)

The Prisoner probably had a comparable or even smaller budget and has dated much better. Too bad McGoohan's TNG cameo never panned out.

sure, The Prisoner had a very imaginative and well-executed design. No space travel tho, and i'm sure UK vs US TV were entirely different games productionwise.

That Prisoner finale had a biiiiit of space travel. Could you imagine how awesome a spinoff series starring McGoohan would have been? Deep Station Zebra! Dueling speechifying with Patrick Stewart!

Steven Weber
Frank Langella

In the same episode, no less.

All this and no one mentioned Mick Fleetwood in TNG:
