First off, I want to say that I personally believe everybody's jumping the gun here, casting a Trek show while it's existence is barely a gleam in Paramount's eye. I don't buy this "it'll be ready in six months" stuff.
Now, on to business. Since everybody's doing a swell job filling in the "Star" positions, I'm taking a few shots at guest stars. People I'd like to see appear, but who never will, unless I win the powerball lottery and pay to produce my OWN Star trek show:
Me - a forgotten hero from Earth's past, kept alive through (technobabble), until revived in the far future.
Tori Amos - Between-assignments ship's counselor, becomes intimately involved with a forgotten hero from Earth's past who was recently revived. (Okay, I admit it, I've got a HUGE crush on Tori. So sue me.) Alternatively, she could play a Risan goddess figure.
Sean Connery - crusty but loveable admiral. I picture him standing alone on the bridge of an embattled Sovreign-class, speaking to our crew from the helm of his doomed vessel.
Robin Williams - A Q... can you imagine? or, another Soong-type android, with an overactive chip. Or an alien that communicates through rapid stream-of-consciousness.
Ah-nold Schwartzenegger - A Breen. (So THAT'S why we can't understand what they're saying...)
That Guy Who Played "Mini-Me" - another envoy from the First Federation; they've been away too long.

Elim: Yep. He was both the speaking and singing voice of that French chef in Little Mermaid.

I was considering both Marina and Nicole for the counselor post, but after watching a couple of TNG episodes, I decided that Marina definitely had the edge.
Garak: I don't think you want to know what I was thinking - it's completely unbroadcastable.

Ziyal: Oh, he sung for that part, too... Okay...
And Orion: *LOL!*

Excuse me, did you say sing? Since when was Star Trek based on people who could sing. If that's the case, they should cast me (As I said before). As for Sean Connery, if he wasn't so damn expensive, I think he would make a perfect guest.

Since when I Trek based on singing, you ask? I would refer you to any epsiode in the last two seasons of DS9 involving the character of Vic Fontaine... :-)

Altair: You've got to be kidding me. "Encino Man???" That's as bad as casting Keaneau Reeves in "Speed" (I stick to my ideals that it would've been a good movie, be it not for Reeves)
