Actually, I didn't need Google... I knew half of it already.

A better man than me, then! I watched all of Star Trek way before I ever saw Babylon 5; if I re-watched it now I hope I would recognise him.

Why am I not surprised that was no challenge. You guys are good!
I only asked for the 'two TV series' so Star Trek is acceptable, athough he appeared in both TNG and Enterprise.

Continuing the one-armed theme: I'm thinking of a character in a novel by one of the sci-fi greats. When the novel came to be filmed, this character was one-armed. Who is he?

Jean Rezscak, Starship Troopers?
Still narked that I was nowhere nearby when the Andreas Katsulas question was asked. Knew the answer straight away, met the man once (at the Wolf 359 convention in Blackpool in the year B5 season 3 was airing) and was very saddened by his death.

Yep... 'Rasczak's Roughnecks'. G'Kar was a great character... over to you, sir.

We had a student teacher who said it stood for Quite Easily Done - he was gutted to find we knew the Latin. FFS, what did he expect from kids at a church school.

Ah, ok... here in Brazil we use CQD (Como queria demonstrar - As wished to demonstrate) for that meaning. Thanks, for the answer.

Darn. You'll have to give me a few hours to come up with something. Perhaps by the morning (I've only just noticed that I was right for a change).

IN Hollywood QED means: Quickly End Dandruff or Quite Effective Drugs or Quirky Effeminate Dopeheads. Your choice.
