His first Trek appearance was as an unnamed Sona official in ST: Insurrection.
VOY s6e20 “Good Shepherd”
And a huge TTRPG geek 🤘🏼🥰
And his wife was the namesake of the IASIP character Sweet Dee
Waitwhat? 🤣🤘🏼
He did say it respectfully.
My favorite RAtM song: Renegades of Funk
You might already know this, but it’s not originally a RatM song.
It’s by Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force
RatM did do a lot to make it their own thing though, and it’s a great cover.
That whole album of covers is fantastic. Most notably “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” made even better with the live performance between Morello and Bruce Springsteen.
Now I’m on a RAtM kick. It’s been a while, but probably a good idea right about now.
Right? If not now…
Bulls on parade ✊🏼
Yes, I’m aware of that. The two versions are both fantastic, and very different.
For those who are curious:
Renegades of Funk
He told Captain Janeway to go to the left
If not for that, she wouldn’t have found ensign Jerk-face. Then we never saw any of them again.
Then we never saw any of them again.
Tal Celes was in The Haunting of Deck 12.
Forgot she actually got a 2nd appearance. Mortimer and Billy, not so much.
I’m so bothered by the character’s name. Does the character go by their first name Celes or Seven not know their surname is Tal?
As a Bajoran, wouldn’t Celes be her proper name? So they would presumably have to be on good terms, like Odo referring to Nerys instead of Kira.
The naming custom is the surname goes before the given name. In “Ensign Ro”, Picard mistakenly says Ensign Laren. He is corrected, being told that her surname is Ro and some Bajorans try to fit in, reversing the structure.
I would think that Seven would be more comfortable within the crew dynamic of Voyager, addressing her by their surname.
EDIT: Being an xB, I would imagine Seven would already know this from Unimatrix Zero assimilating some Bajorans.
Is that the guitarist of Rage against the machine?
Yes
Oh, holy fuck, how did he end up in Star Trek?
Per Memory Alpha:
In 1998, Morello – a die-hard Trekkie – contacted Star Trek producer Rick Berman and asked to have a cameo in Star Trek: Insurrection. Berman agreed, as his son was a fan of Rage Against the Machine. Despite four to five hours of make-up and the high temperature in which they were working (they were filming in the desert), Morello states that he “was on cloud nine because I got to talk to Jean-Luc Picard” (referring, of course, to actor Patrick Stewart). [1]
I like that this one goes both ways:
In his capacity as guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, Morello had Voyager star Garrett Wang appear briefly in their video for “Sleep Now in the Fire.” Wang is seen enjoying the music at about 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the video.
