    2.) The first Doctor of Dr.Who, played by one Mr. William Hartnell

    5.) That's original series Trek, 'City on the Edge of Forever'. Might that be McCoy leaping through the portal?

    6.) Land of the Lost... I'm foggy on this one. Enik mayhap?

    10.) ST:TNG - Capt.Picard

    11.) Sam Beckett - Quantum Leap

    12.) ... TV right? But that has to be Bill and Ted. There was a series? o.O

    16.) ST: Voyager - Janeway

    13.) Stab in the dark here... Time Trax? Darien Lambert?

  5. Wow, you guys are amazing.

    In four comments, you all completely finished today's puzzle. Well darnit, I gotta make them harder, I see! :)

    All my best to you all. Thanks for playing, and for doing such an extraordinary job with these identifications.

    Regards,

  6. These were some great choices! Time travel is a fascinating concept. Especially if you mix in astronauts, but that's something else.

    The Trek connection is fascinating. On the one hand, you have various Trek characters who have traveled through time in all the different series. On the other hand, you have two people who had been in time travel tv series that became regulars/semiregulars on Trek: James Darren (Time Tunnel) as Vic Fontaine on Deep Space Nine, and Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) on Trek: Enterprise. The other connections: Enik from Land of the Lost was created by Walter Koenig of Trek, Russell Johnson liked the original series and was called in to read for some parts but sadly was never cast, and Martin Landau was close to being cast as Spock.

    Thanks for the cool quiz!

  7. Hi Gordon,

    I'm fascinated with time travel TV, and enjoyed assembling this quiz, though I'm certain some were left out too. I like your connection to all the various Star Trek incarnations. Time travel was certainly a recurring concept in that franchise, and always handled in interesting fashion.


    best,
    John
