The “Star Trek” universe has united in a bid to defeat Donald Trump.

More than 100 past and present cast and crew members from the hit TV shows and movies have come together under the “Trek Against Trump” banner to try to stop the GOP nominee from taking office.

George Takei, Zoe Saldana, J.J. Abrams and Will Wheaton are among those who called Trump “an amateur with a contemptuous ignorance of national laws and international realities” in a blistering Facebook post on Thursday.

They also urged voters to elect Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8.

“We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the upcoming election,” they wrote. “Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the ‘Star Trek’ universe as Donald Trump.”

1. Why didn't they get Nichelle and Patrick?

Happy to see many on the list, though. George and Walter! I like that Sirtis, Frakes, McFadden, Crosby, Spiner and Burton are there. Then there's Louise Fletcher (not sure of her ST connection).
Needless to say, it is a good list!

3. Louise Fletcher had a recurring part on Deep Space 9.

She played a religious/political leader that was unfailingly polite and pious, but incredibly ambitious and ruthless about making sure things went her way. Sort of a not-quite-villainous antagonist.

Surprised that Patrick Stewart wasn't on the list as well. He's high profile, and there is no way that he approves of Trump.

4. That's what I'm thinking, too, re: Stewart.

And I am a rather huge fan of Louise Fletcher. Don't know her from Deep Space Nine, but that doesn't matter. Glad to see her on the list. She's 82 years old, BTW.

9. She played a Bajoran Vedek

All kinds of folks appeared on DS9. Here she is with Frank Langella in an episode -

16. That's another actor I rather like, Frank Langella!

Not always a good guy, but then there are those who have said that Bogie was a really nice guy, mostly Betty Bacall.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Ha!

[longship]

22. BLOOD! A great role!

6. I'm surprised at Nichelle

But Shatner is not on there because he's still a Canadian citizen. Over on Twitter, he once remarked it would be illegal for him to endorse anyone not Canadian. I don't know how true that is, but perhaps something applicable to Stewart as well?

7. Maybe, but Patrick Stewart lives in NYC.

Like his best bud, Ian Mckellen.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Neither Michael Dorn nor Avery Brooks are on there either

although I wouldn't be surprised if some just don't want to get politically out there.

2. Leonard Nimoy was very liberal wasn't he?

[longship]

5. You betcha! nt

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Yes but he is no longer with us unfortunately.

(as of 2015 when he passed away)

[Initech]

13. I wish he were around to beam Donald Trump out of here.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Or go all Pon Farr on his ass

(never mess with an angry Vulcan in heat )

[Initech]

18. I just want to send Donald Trump to the Forbidden Zone.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Or you can beam him to where

"the ship is talking"

8. I applaud them.

But at the same time, i feel like whenever celebrities come out for Hillary or Democratic causes, that just inspires Middle American Republicans to run out and vote to spite Hollywood.
