TNG notes

Character index

Every named speaking character in two or more episodes, plus notable single-episode characters. Line counts are dialogue lines in the transcripts; a character present but silent is not counted. 'Non-speaking' counts further episodes where the character appears without dialogue, according to the cast list or the stage directions. Profile fields come from the curated data files where present, and the species of characters without a profile comes from the infobox of their Memory Alpha page; actors come from Memory Alpha credits.
