Aug. 12th, 2012 07:28 pmFlying through space in Star Trek Online, I’ve seen a fair few Klingon players who’ve named their captain G’Kar. Hey, always nice to see a fellow B5 fan, and at a glance, it could pass as a Klingon name. Still, I’m a little surprised that not one of them was wearing an eye patch to go with the name.
Similarly, I’ve seen at least half a dozen Thrawns of various ranks commanding starships – but not a single one was Bolian or Andorian. I don’t understand why you’d pick a name that’s a blatant reference to something else, but not go all the way with it.
On the plus side, I have seen Betazoid Alfred Bester and Lyta Alexanders, so at least some people have clued into the obvious choices when it comes to this sort of psedo-crossover…
