Line 87:
* Though he gets a lot of flak for other things he did during his involvement with ''[[Star Trek]]'', Brannon Braga claimed in a ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]'' DVD commentary that fans never live down the fact that he wrote "Threshold":
{{quote|'''Braga''': People are very unforgiving about that episode. I've written well over a hundred episodes of Star Trek, yet it seems to be the only episode anyone brings up, you know? "Brannon Braga, who wrote Threshold!"}}
** It doesn't help his case that many of the other episodes he wrote also sucked. Fans just use his most infamous episode to lead off the criticism with precisely because it is his most infamous episode.
* Mark A. Hicks, professional Hollywood stuntman. How is he best remembered by the Internet public? As Chris Tucker's body double for the first two ''[[Rush Hour]]'' movies, netting several awards in the process? As the man who's done dangerous work in everything from ''Coyote Ugly'' to ''[[Firefly|Serenity]]''? Not likely. He is best known for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEtIoGQxqQs flubbing a flip during an audition for a Nike ad]. After which he ''got the part''. Seriously.
* Sally Field is one of America's most famous actresses, with a string of iconic roles (as well as two Oscars and three Emmys) under her belt. But what does the layperson remember her for? Gidget? The Flying Nun? Sybil? Norma Rae? [[Brothers and Sisters|Nora Walker]]? Even [[Robin Williams]]' ex in ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]''? Nope - her 1985 Best Actress Oscar acceptance speech for ''Places In The Heart'': BKA, "[[Beam Me Up, Scotty|You like me! You really like me!]]"
