I read that Jeri Ryan will be guest starring on the two part season finale of Boston Legal. That will put three former Star Trek universe characters on the show at the same time. Ryan played Seven of Nine on Voyager, Renee Auberjonois played Odo on Deep Space Nine and of course William Shatner was Capt. Kirk on the original series. They need a character in the finale played by an actor from The Next Generation. That would really get the Trekkers to tune in at least. Will you be watching? What will you be watching tonight on TV?
