Alan Tudyk as a Borg
As the voice and face of the robot in I, Robot and the stone-cold killer Alpha on Dollhouse, Tudyk would be a great representative for the Borg, a race of emotionless cyborgs who live in cubes and assimilate ships and their crews. Sure, the TNG crew discovered them, but they've been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and the sooner Kirk and Spock get to fight them, the better.

I agree, besides it's an alternate timeline in the NuTrek world, so anything is possible.
I never knew that Alan was the voice of Sonny. Who says you don't learn something new everyday!

Kirk: "Oh look, Spock, a harmless little tribble!"
(action sequence involving A.T. playing 17 personalities and taking down an equal number of redshirts)
Bones: "Curse you and your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

It might sound obvious, but that was my same exact thought when I read the title of this post!

You know what? Maybe somebody should make a show with those guys. And add in a few other interesting folks - Ron Glass, Jewel Staite. I love Gina Tores work, and she has more range than she usually gets to show. Then have Felecia Day and NPH guest star. It would be genius.
"Firefly II, The Musical." I can dream.

I'd watch Alan in pretty much anything, though.

You're not alone in thinking along these lines, I assure you. :>

Honestly, I'd like to see him given something with a bit more dimension than a Borg, though. Or if we have to shove him into a two-dimensional opponent role, put some Fu Manchu makeup on him and make him an old-school Klingon, bay-bee. Sprinkle the scenery with soy sauce and let him GO.

I loved Wash, but he was far from my favorite Firefly/Serenity character. It took Alpha to smack me into realizing the guy's pretty much a genius actor.

You need an emotionless cyborg? How about Elisabeth Rohm? ;)

Also, Borg: way overused by now. But considering the "new" Trek went back to Kirk&Spock, I wouldn't be surprised if the current PTB chose to use them yet again.

1) Scarred but surviving Captain,
2) His loyal comrade from his decimated unit
3) The quirky but talented pilot
4) The muscle with a developing conscience
5) The resourceful engineer
6) A religious man with a secret
7) The refugee doctor ...
8) and his sister
9) The Lady that gives the crew a semblence of respectability
Then dump the Trek crap :)

the omnipotent, omnipresent Q Continuum has been around since the Big Bang
I'm not sure this is correctly. It's right the there is no time before the Big Bang, but if the Q's are real omnipotent beings they should have existed before it.
