TNG S3 AWARDS - Best Recurring Guest Performance
Comments (17)
I just rewatched Yesterdays Enterprise and I love all of the little details Whoopi had in her performance. Like she maintained this great sense of wrongness and revulsion at the altered timeline and it really comes across in her confidence with Picard and later her slight hostility towards Tasha. Great actor.
I chose Whoopi because she is so strong and far more mysterious than any other character, which makes every second she’s on screen more valuable My honorable mention goes to the transporter, chief O’Brien played by none other than the master Colm Meany How could you guys leave him off the list?
John de Lancie is in top form from scene one throughout. Every line and joke lands.
I guess in my head I don't really consider Whoopi to be a guest star since she's in so many of the episodes of the show later on. Makes her feel more like a regular than a guest.
How dare you make me choose between Q and Lwaxana!!
I would put Guinan up there with Mike in Breaking Bad as one of my favorite side-characters. Their characters can steal the show but still remain in the peripheral.
Voted for Majel, she’s a great comedic actress and this was her best showing so far.
Oh man. I've been watching Babylon 5, and it's really tempting to go for Andreas because of how good he is in that show, but I must not let my recentcy bias get in the way.
Sounds similar to all the comments telling us how Saul Rubinek being a good actor in other shows made Fajo a great character 💀
It is a shame Majel Barrett doesn't get more votes she plays the character well
Who's the Ferengi that voted for mother issues here?!
John de Lancie
Not a fan of Whoopi in general, but I love her role in these seasons of TNG. She often only has one scene, but they propel the episode in a strong character-driven way. Guinan was pretty much the star in YE as much as Yar was, and she helped carry the episode and make it what it was.
So harsh, no votes for Lwxana. The awful mother-in-law was a TV staple for decades, and Majel knocked the unlikable part out of the park. Did such a good job of it, I can't possibly vote for her!
Lwaxana’s in her own category altogether!
Guinan nearly won the prize but I finally gave it to Tomalak. When I asked him if an Honorable Mention would do he just replied "I'm afraid it won't! So save me the humiliation." I couldn't say no that ;)
It was a tough one between Whoopi and Andreas but I just feel we have to give our man Andreas a send up. Such an underrated actor and a huge loss too young (damn cigarettes!)
