(TNG: "The Hunted" , "Deja Q" , "A Matter of Perspective" ) The identification of these illustrations was made by Jörg Hillebrand and Bernd Schneider for Ex Astris Scientia. One of the illustrations was a photograph of Alan Howard, who played Benedick, in a Royal Shakespeare Company production. [1] The relationship between Benedick and Beatrice influenced the portrayal of that between Martok and Sirella in DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 504)

Last time you went off on an half-hour-long speech about revenge and the nature of the human mind. Then all I ended up with was some bloke talking to a skull.

After much pondering and fiddling with his freshly-trimmed beard, he is ready. "My lord," he respectfully begins, "my intention is to write a show about nothing."
