Line 45:
* ''[[Babylon 5]]'': On the station itself, this job would typically fall to Lieutenant Corwin (in the first season, it alternated between him and an un-named [[Bridge Bunny]].) If Sheridan or Sinclair was in Command and Control, this job would instead go to [[The Lancer|Commander Ivanova.]] When traveling out and about aboard one ship or another, this job would fall to whichever character was serving as [[The Lancer]] for that mission (Lennier or Marcus, usually).
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' originally had Commander Adama's daughter Athena in this role in the original series. In [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|the reboot]], the job was performed by Corporal (later Lieutenant) Dualla, as well as her replacement, Hoshi.
* In ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'', Radar was usually called up on to operate the communications equipment
* ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]''
** ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' brings us one of the most famous examples, Lieutenant Uhura. In the [[Star Trek Expanded Universe]] and the [[Star Trek (Film)|2009 film]] she is also a [[Cunning Linguist|xenolinguistics expert]].
** ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'': This was the original duty for Worf, perhaps owing to his [[Half -Human Hybrid|bicultural background.]]
** ''[[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Star Trek Voyager]]'': Harry Kim got a battlefield promotion to chief communications officer, despite only being ([[Status Quo Is God|perpetually]]) an ensign.
** ''[[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Star Trek Enterprise]]'': Hoshi Sato handled communications. Her linguistics expertise also came into play because the [[Universal Translator]] was still a work-in-progress.
