Robin Lefler

Ensign Robin Lefler was a Human 24th century Starfleet officer who was stationed on board the USS Enterprise-D in 2368 and became close with Wesley Crusher. Her parents were exobiologists and moved around very often, so Lefler could neither call a place 'home' nor develop friendships, claiming her first friend had been a tricorder. (TNG: "Darmok", "The Game")

Lefler served as mission specialist for a mission exploring the Phoenix Cluster. She had a brief romance with Wesley, and she and Wesley foiled a plot by the Ktarians to take over the Enterprise (and subsequently, Starfleet), using an addictive game to get control over the crew. (TNG: "The Game")

Lefler's Laws

Robin created a set of 102 "Laws" to live by. "When I learn something essential," she explained, "I make up a law about it. That way, I never forget."

    1: You can only count on yourself.
  12: Give credit where credit is due.
  17: When all else fails, do it yourself.
  22: Never date a co-worker.
  23: Never look back, the obstacles are all ahead.
  36: You gotta go with what works.
  46: Life isn't always fair.
  91: Always watch your back.
103: A couple of light years can't keep good friends apart [originally suggested by Wesley Crusher].

Appendices

Appearances

Background

Robin Lefler was played by Ashley Judd.

In April 2002, ZENtertainment (a now-defunct Hollywood news source) reported "Ashley Judd was on Letterman the other night to promote her new movie, High Crimes. Dave surprised her with a clip of her appearance on TNG, where she went on a date with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). Judd mentioned that she was reprising the role (of Robin Lefler) in Star Trek Nemesis as Wesley's wife." [1] [2]

This was also reported by About Sci-Fi, which added to the report "...Wil Wheaton, however, says he's heard nothing about that. Somehow, I'm not surprised Wesley doesn't know he's married."

Later on, "Judd's spokesperson denied this cameo appearance." [3]

In August 2002, Wil Wheaton found out, and reported, that his scene had been cut from Star Trek Nemesis. There was no mention (by him) about Judd or Lefler.

Apocrypha

In Peter David's New Frontier series, Lefler was the chief operations officer of the USS Excalibur, under the command of Captain Mackenzie Calhoun (M'k'n'z'y of Calhoun). Her mother was an immortal, who went by the name "Morgan Primus". Morgan may or may not have been "Number One" and/or "Christine Chapel".

Lefler makes an appearance in TNG Special 3's "Old Debts" story opposite Montgomery Scott and Koloth, introducing three new laws that expand the list:

  • #12: Execution is nine-tenths of the job.
  • #116: When someone is trying to kill you, it's okay to sweat.
  • #117: Never send a Klingon a Tribble.
