When looking at the supporting actors in Star Trek (2009), I found that the female alien doctor who was on the Kelvin (big eyes, unknown race) is named Sonita Henry, a scottish-nepalese actress. It turns out she's been working in sci-fi movies since 1997, her debut being as presidential aide in Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element".
"The Fifth Element" premiered in May 1997, while "Star Trek: First Contact" came out in Nov 1996, so they had some overlapping production time. So when I saw this movie still from "Fifth Element" with Ms. Henry in it, I was surprised at the clothing this future starfleet officer was wearing (Gaultier).
Bonus detail: Ms. Henry's alien doctor had a co-star close to her, playing a medical technician of the same alien race. The actor's name is Yu, first name Kelvin.
The clothes may be a just funny coincedence, there are however other links that seem less than coincidental, but how they came to be is a mystery:
"The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" 1992: John DeLancie ("Q", TNG) and Rebecca De Mornay play Mr and Mrs Mott (name of the barber on the 1701-D)
"Dave's World" 1993: John DeLancie plays the character Mr McFadden (Dr Crusher, TNG, is played by Gates McFadden).
"The Big Hit" 1998: Avery Brooks (Ben Sisko, DS9) plays the mob boss Mr Paris (Tom Paris, VOY), and Lou Diamond Phillips plays the hitman Cisco, who works for Paris.
"Tomorrow by midnight" 1999: Tamara Craig Thomas (Haley, VOY: Lifeline) plays a character named Kira (Kira Nerys, DS9).
I did run all this data through the Probability matrix in Flare-Sublevel A3, but the only response I got out of it was "magma displacement", whatever that means. I'll ask the R&D suits to take a look on monday, have them pull their weight around here. "Tenure" my ass.

What if you open up a time portal within a time portal? Or if you're a time traveler, what if you open up a time portal and the exit aperture is your own space-time coordinates as you are entering the time portal, putting you forever traveling?

What does it mean if I understand all three of those references?

What are you crazy?! Those things attract brainslugs! They're like squishy green, thought sucking magpies...or slightly less irritating customer survey operators.
