Finally, we have some TNG antagonists at Star Trek fleet headquarters. Tomalek, as you may remember if you watched TNG, was the Romulan commander in four very memorable episodes. Of course, he also appeared in all these episodes if you do not remember him.
Tomalek’s character has always tried to be intimidating, but never, for me anyway, seems to have succeeded. Commanding a Star Trek fleet, he is a rare officer, who can be threatening if used correctly.
Captain Maneuver
While covered, Tomalk increases armor piercing, shield penetration and accuracy by 100%.
After camouflage was added last month, we now finally have an officer taking advantage of it.
Synergy will bring this guy to 200% total, eventually, but as of right now, the only officer who will have synergy with him is Sela, and she’s also a commanding officer, so you’ll have to settle for a total of 125%.
This is a pretty simple ability that will increase your offensive stats.
Ability of Tomalek
Tomalak increases weapon damage against Klingon targets in (25%, 35%, 75%, 175%, 500%) of the total team attack.
This is an officer ability that has been around for a long time. We had two anti-Federation officers (Carl and Mirk), and two anti-Romulan officers (Young and Yuki Solo) that you could raise to PvP, but just to the lone candle as an anti-Klingon officer. The need seemed so urgent that many times I convinced myself that there must be one there, and that I was simply lacking.
For quite some time, this has not been such a big deal, at least for me, since the biggest rivals I’ve seen for a while have all been in Ogurus or Enterprise. But now that they are starting to have a few more K’Tingas out there, another anti-Klingon officer can be quite helpful.
The only erosion is that Tomalek, like the other officers against the faction, can not really help until the fourth or fifth stage. The 25% bonus you will have with it directly from the box is on the trivial side.
But once you get the 500% bonus, it should make a big difference.
Andreas Katzoles
Tomalek was played by character actor Andreas Katzoles.
Katzols was born in St. Louis, Missouri on May 18, 1946. He graduated from Indiana University with a master’s degree in theater. He spent 15 years Peter BrockThe traveling theater troupe of.
He spent some time playing in Greece and France before returning to the US, and entering the film and television industry in the early 1980s.
His first role in the film came in a 1981 Milos Furman film, Ragtime. Coincidentally, this was also Jimmy Cagney’s last cinematic role, and the first for Samuel L.. Jackson, Jeff Daniels, Debbie Allen, In addition to Ethan Phillips (Nailix), and of course, John Retzenberger.
From there he worked steadily throughout the 80s as a character actor. He has appeared in parts a bit in movies like Someone to look after me And the film by Patrick Swayze kin.
On television, he made his U.S. debut in an 1981 soap opera episode, another world. He had a three-episode run Maximum headroom, And appeared on the source The EquaLaser, Foreign nation, And of course, Mysteries of Father Dowling.
He also made a guest appearance Jake and Heftman. Now seems like a good time for everyone to sit and ponder the meaning of the fact that you and I live in a universe where a series called Jake and the Oil did not want just five seasons on CBS. Think if you want a phone call in which William Conrad, (Cannon and the TV) The number of the adventures of Rocky and Bolwinkel) Was offered the role of “the fat one,” and said, “Sure, sign me up!”
Sorry, back to Catsulas.
His star-studded debut came in the third episode of TNG’s season, The enemy. Here is his first appearance on screen.
Tomalek’s character has made two more real appearances, b Eric And in the TNG final All the good stuff…, And in Riker’s fantasy b Imperfect future.
Aside from his appearance on TNG, Catsouls is best known for his work on Babylon 5. I freely admit that I saw exactly zero episodes of Babylon 5, which usually appeared when I was in college, so I missed it. But here’s a clip of Katzols as the red – eyed Jackar showing off his ribs.
Probably the biggest major role in Katzul’s career was the “one-armed man” who killed Dr. Richard Kimble’s wife in Harrison Ford’s 1993 film “The Fugitive.” This is his “this guy” moment.
Katzoles’ latest TV role brought him back on a star-studded journey to a guest spot on Enterprise in the second season episode, Cognitive.
Unfortunately, we lost Andreas, a veteran smoker, to lung cancer in 2006.
