Question by player MisterGumby

Answer: Actual human mouths imposed, speaking.

Cambria studios produced this unlikely popular series (aired on 65 stations nationwide at the time). Budget constriction was a main goal and though the shots were not really animated, going along from cell to cell with no action really animated at all, the mouths of the characters were superimposed by a process called "Syncro-Vox". This allowed them to make "product" at a fraction of the cost of Hanna-Barbera and Disney studios. It showed that way and I have no idea why it lasted as long as it did or at all. Even young kids today would ask "What were they thinking?"

Question by player jxsand1

Answer: Wesley Crusher

Wesley Crusher was the child of Lt. Com. Jack and Doc. Beverly Crusher that the creators of "Star Trek"'s Enterprise-D decided to foist upon true fans. A gawky teen, Wesley was written as a foil to Captain Picard who believed himself guilty for the death of Jack Crusher.

Wil Wheaton is the actor who played the role.

Jim Shimoda is the character that Wesley Crusher thwarted in his plot to avoid the stellar core fragment. (Fun note...most of "Star Trek"'s scientific references are written in "threes" such as stellar core fragment. Check it out!)
