Quote of the day: Phantom as Star Trek

[my_daroga]

Paris Opera was a living thing, full of a mad collection of people performing and doing their thing. It was somewhat like the starship Enterprise—completely self-sufficient.
-John Mathieson, cinematographer for the 2004 Phantom of the Opera

So my challenge to you: who's who? Any crew, but I prefer TOS and TNG because I know them better. And DS9 (but we already know Bashir is the Persian). Basically I don't know Voyager and Enterprise. And whatever POTO canon you can shoehorn 'em into.

Personally, I want Kirk to play everything.

LOL!! This is awesome. I wish that I were more familiar with POTO!

Maybe ... Kes (from Voyager) as Christine? or Maybe if we want to think really outside of the box, Data.

In that scenario, Raoul would be Tasha Yar and the Phantom/Erik would be Lor.

I don't know anything about any of the other characters, but I suppose that Dr. Soong would be Madame Giry. I have no clue who would be the Persian because I don't remember that character from the movie. (Sorry!! I know that my slip is showing!)

lol!!! I really wish that I did know more about the movie.

The Persian's really only in the book. Though the movie with Lon Chaney comes closest.

Heeeee. Data!Christine. I said she should be 7 of 9. Hot blonde, can't think for herself...yeah, that's it!

Aha!!

I totally second guessed myself on Kes because I thought that maybe she had a little too much spunk. Seven of Nine would work. With Janeway as her Raoul or maybe the Doctor. AND the Borg Queen as the Phantom? Maybe I'm trying to make everyone too related ...

Ooh, a Data/Lor tragedy? Nice. Poor Tasha.

As tkp said, the Persian's in the book. And he's in the Chaney film (see creepy icon) under a different name. They decided at the last minute to cut the backstory, so they renamed his Ledoux but he kept his funny hat.
