3Just a quick question: I'm fairly new to Stack Exchange, so I was wondering why people are down-voting my question, just so I don't make the same mistake in the future. Thanks!– Captain J.L PicardCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 19:02

26You probably got downvoted because actor recycling is very, very common in episodic television and it is always done with no in-universe explanation. It's a peculiar thing that is simply put aside and taken for granted, like why comic strip characters always wear the same clothes and never age.– Kyle JonesCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 19:12

11They did, in-universe, specifically recognise the similarity between Tasha Yar and Sela, both played by Denise Crosby. I'll accept that's a special case though.– GeoffAtkinsCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 19:12

2I believe there is also a point made to retcon Tim Russ to be Tuvok (Voyager) on the bridge of the Enterprise-B in the film Generations (can't recall where though, book, etc..._– NKCampbellCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 19:32

1@NKCampbell: Tim Russ did not play Tuvok on the Enterprise-B. It can be quite clearly seen that he does not have Vulcan ears, for example (movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/generations/ch2/gen0155.jpg) and his appearances are also discussed at some length in this SE question: scifi.stackexchange.com/q/31779/68434– flithCommented Jun 5, 2017 at 6:45

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
