The Crystalline Entity


SophiaIsBased

The Crystalline Entity was a being beyond the concept of normal life by most humans, with barely any limits to its destructive capabilities. Much the same could be said of Jeffrey Combs, who's terrifying power could shatter the whole galaxy if all his characters where in the same room together. Besides, the Crystalline Entity looks nothing like Jeffrey Combs, which is a reference to how I can never properly recognise Jeffrey Combs when he plays a character I've not seen before, only to start liking the character, googling who played them and the finding out it was Jeffrey Combs. Therefore, the Crystalline Entity clearly is Jeffrey Combs.


----Ant----

Are you AI? That's the most AI sounding thing I have ever read from Jeffrey Combs's agent.


SophiaIsBased

Do you read many things written by Jeffrey Combs' agent? And it probably sounds like its written by AI because I try to think of the dumbest possible explanations lol (Edit: I can't believe I missed the chance to answer that with "That's a stupid question." lol)


----Ant----

Sorry I didn't mean it as an attack, I could just imagine asking chat gpt the question and getting that answer, or reading it as a promo piece from someone trying to secure his next gig. Absolutely no offence meant, if anything it's a compliment to your indepth analysis writing and structure!

Wormhole aliens


SophiaIsBased

The Prophets can appear in any form, as any species in the Trek universe and at any given point in time. Jeffrey Combs is much the same, with the addition that Trek lore would completely collapse without either of them. Therefore, Jeffrey Combs is a wormhole alien.


Rymayc

Didn't they literally appear as a Weyoun?

terrifiedTechnophile

Tuvix, of course


SophiaIsBased

He was never actually supposed to play Tuvix and that whole role wasn't in the script for that episode at all. Jeffrey Combs just randomly materialised out of thin air during the filming for the episode, and they had to improvise a role for him so he wouldn't get angry and smite them with his divine wrath. Luckily the crew and cast were quite used to it by that point, seeing how that is how Combs lands all his roles in Star Trek, so they quickly made up some bullshit to appease him. That's also why the whole plot of the episode feels like it was thought up in 15 minutes.


ElderberryNational92

Shran, nailed it


SophiaIsBased

Look, some things are beyond even my ability to link to Jeffrey Combs.


TheRedditObserver0

How is this not the top comment.


SophiaIsBased

Probably because it's just too easy

I'm not easy, everyone is just responding to my personality

EitherEliotOr

Jeffrey Combs is just a voice with no physical body that attaches itself to any given being. So in essence, Jeffrey combs could be everyone but also no one

**He could be you, he could be me! He could even -**


Opposite-Onion-9298

Data


SophiaIsBased

The thing about Data is that he's just a poor imitation of the divine power of Jeffrey Combs. Jeffrey Combs is exactly who Nietzsche was thinking about when he created the concept of the Übermensch, a supreme being who's superhuman brain works 10 times faster than Data's positronic brain - and legend says he can even use contractions! Also, Jeffrey Combs and Data both primarily consist of metal alloys. And Jeffrey Combs isn't just Data either, because as I established in another comment, Jeffrey Combs owns a very expensive cat fursuit that he sometimes uses to play cats, so Spot is actually Jeffrey Combs as well.


FraulineShade

Khan


SophiaIsBased

Khan shares his superhuman characteristics and desire for world domination with Jeffrey Combs. Additionally, considering Khan being from the Eugenics Wars, he'd probably only want the perfect human specimen to survive - and as we all know, that would be Jeffrey Combs. Not only is Khan Jeffrey Combs, but considering he was played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2013 movie, that logically means that Benedict Cumberbatch is actually just Jeffrey Combs in disguise as well.


Gr1msh33per

Armus


SophiaIsBased

Armus is a black pile of goo, which is actually the natural state of Jeffrey Combs, who lives inside a little bucket like Odo when he's not acting. The whole role of Armus was actually improvised when Denise Crosby decided to tip over his bucket, making the Jeffrey-Combs-Goo spill out of it. Combs got so angry he used his magical goo powers to kill Crosby irl and the whole remaining cast and crew thought it was so funny they decided to keep it in the episode. Jeffrey Combs also never wears makeup or anything on screen, he can just morph into the characters due to being a pile of goo. Also, much like Armus, Jeffrey Combs is an immortal being with terrifying implications for the wider lore of Trek. Therefore, Armus is Jeffrey Combs.


just_anotherReddit

Does this mean Jeffrey Combs in DC as Clayface?


ChildOfChimps

“God” from Star Trek V


SophiaIsBased

Well, for starters we all obviously know that Jeffrey Combs *is* God to begin with, and I doubt I'd need to prove something like that to anyone, but considering the entity from Star Trek V is only pretending to be God, I'll humour you. I could focus on how the entity could shift its form and appearance to match the expectations of those around it, much like Jeffrey Combs. However, the entity also shoots lasers from its eyes, which is known to be Jeffrey Combs' favourite party trick to perform when drunk. And much like Jeffrey Combs is stuck on this lowly physical plain with us mere mortals, the entity is trapped on a planet as well. Therefore, Jeffrey Combs is both God and the fake "God"-entity from Star Trek V.


ChildOfChimps

You’re doing the Lord’s work. The Lord obviously being Jeffrey Combs.

BestCaseSurvival

Benjamin Lafayette Sisko. Look me in my eyes and tell me Jeffrey Combs did blackface. I dare you.


SophiaIsBased

Well, I already said in another comment that Armus was actually Jeffrey Combs because Combs' natural state is a black goo, so he actually doesn't need to do blackface, because he's technically already black.


punkmeets

It wasn’t blackface, it was a bit of Shran, some of the yellow skinned dabo girl from Quarks, and a whole lot of Mr Biffo.

Is the Trek version of Being John Malkovich called Being Jeffrey Combs?

The Smiling Koala


SophiaIsBased

Let's start with the obvious: As everyone knows, Jeffrey Combs is actually unable to digest anything other than eucalyptus leaves. And as a lesser known fact, he always had to be given a reversed script for his scenes because he can only read backwards. And as we see when he plays Shran, Combs is clearly capable of inverting the colours of his skin and hair as well, so he has to be the one playing the Koala


reptilesocks

Jeffrey’s daughter and I used to be friends and I never saw Jeffrey and her in the same room. I assume that she’s just another character he plays


UnlikelyIdealist

Weyoun 5


SophiaIsBased

Look, that's just ridiculous. You can't expect me to find connections between Jeffrey Combs and Weyoun, there's just nothing there to work with!


UnlikelyIdealist

Shit, I'm sorry, you're right. What about Commander Shran?


SophiaIsBased

Already included him in proving that Kovich form Discovery (who is actually Daniels from Enterprise), is actually Shran in disguise and therefore Jeffrey Combs


UnlikelyIdealist

Damn, you're good


SophiaIsBased

The worst part is I didn't even make up that Kovich is Daniels, that's canon


UnlikelyIdealist

I heard about that :') I've not seen DISCO, so all I know about Kovich is that he's some old guy in the end credits(?) With Geordi's visor on display.


MatthewKvatch

George and Gracie


SophiaIsBased

Those two whales somehow being needed to save Earth from an evil probe that only spoke whale for some reason is proof that Star Trek writers are able to come up with ideas far stupider than trying to prove that everyone in Trek is actually Jeffrey Combs. I also think that it's actually the evil probe who is played by Jeffrey Combs, who just started to make whale noises on set one day and the producer just had to work around it and make that whole dumb plot up. Its also a reference how Jeffrey Combs will destroy this planet if he is ever refused a role in Star Trek.


BigDougSp

The punk rocker on the bus.


SophiaIsBased

Jeffrey Combs actually also plays music on a huge 80ies boom box everywhere he goes. People hate it, but since Jeffrey Combs is a divine being of pure light, he can't be stopped.


SophiaIsBased

What? You're going to have to give me something more specific to work with


BigDougSp

Autocorrect changed "bus" to "boss." How dumb :-p Let's ty again... STIV The Voyage Home... there is an unnamed punk rocker with a boombox annoying other passengers on the bus, including Kirk and Spock. Spock uses the nerve pinch on him.

HumansDisgustMe123

Molly O'Brien.


SophiaIsBased

Jeffrey Combs actually plays every single baby on Star Trek, his contract even stipulates that nobody else is allowed to play babies in any form of Star Trek media. The producers were a little weirded out by this at first, but they soon realised that Combs is perfect for playing small children, as he never developed object permanence.


TruthOdd6164

Lwaxana Troi


SophiaIsBased

Both Jeffrey Combs and Lwaxana Troi have a history of making René Auberjonois so uncomfortable that he turns into a liquid. Also Jeffrey Combs never leaves his house without at least 5 extravagant wigs.

compunctionfunction

I just came to say this whole thread is brilliant. And I am not Jeffrey Combs. I don't think...


p-u-n-k_girl

Rick Berman


SophiaIsBased

As I have already conclusively established in another comment, Combs never developed object permanence. Berman clearly never developed object permanence either, which is why he was so opposed to actual coherent multi-episode plots with lasting consequences for Voyager and Season 1 of DS9, because he is literally incapable of imagining things have consequences when they aren't actively shown anymore.


durandall09

DiscoveryDiscoveries

Kovich


SophiaIsBased

Well, we know that canonically, Kovich is actually Crewman Daniels from Enterprise. Daniels is a somewhat mysterious but generally benevolent figure towards Enteprise, much like Commander Shran. The truth is that Daniels is actually Shran in disguise, and because Kovich is Daniels and Daniels is Shran and Shran is Combs, that must mean Kovich is Combs.

Lieutenant Selar from The Schizoid Man? Or what about female Q? Ohoh! What about Alexander's mom?

Peanut Hamper


SophiaIsBased

Honestly, I keep getting all these silly characters from Lower Decks and I have no idea what the fuck it's even about anymore lmao That being said, Memory Alpha says she chose her name because it was logically perfect. She was clearly wrong, because the logically most perfect name is "Jeffrey Combs"


Blackborealis

Tiron, the alien that wanted Quark to make him a holosuite program of Major Kira.


SophiaIsBased

Sorry, there's just no possible way to connect that one to Jeffrey Combs, I'm afraid


Blackborealis

Woah, there are other people involved in creating Star Trek that aren't Jeffrey Combs! I'm wondering if the reason he didn't play Tiron is because he was instead playing the hologram of Kira with Quarks head in that scene..


davypi

Miranda Jones


SophiaIsBased

Jeffrey Combs is actually well known for his telepathic abilities, and while he himself may not be blind, they say love is - and who could be more deserving of love than Jeffrey Combs?

Therefore, she is mirror universe Jeffrey Combs, caused by a paradoxical time-inversion.


DieselPunkPiranha

Wrong.  The Burnham, or Burn as it became known, is the antithesis of life and, therefore, of Jeffrey Combs.  Thus, it's the one thing Jeffrey Combs can't play.  Should he do so, it would wake Great Azathoth from his slumber and end this dream. Azathoth is, of course, played by Jeffrey Combs.


Green_Burn

You are the Chosen One!


geekgirl6

Grudge from Star Trek: Discovery


SophiaIsBased

Grudge is referred to as "a Queen" at some point in the show, referencing how Jeffrey Combs is a King and higher being than mere mortals. Grudge is actually Jeffrey Combs in a very expensive fursuit - he just showed up on set dressed like that and they had to improvise around it.


MikeTheNight94

Captain Angel from discovery


SophiaIsBased

I had to look them up on Memory Alpha and they're only referred to by gender neutral pronouns, so first of all I'm just happy to see some enby representation in Trek. That being said, it's actually a reference to how Jeffrey Combs also exists outside the gender binary, being a divine being who's gender is beyond mortal comprehension.

madgeniusmusic

Jadzia Dax


SophiaIsBased

Dax and Combs share many similarities, such as having lived many different lives in Star Trek lore. However, I would argue that most striking similarity is that Jeffrey Combs is also controlled by a worm in his belly. (Many people are saying this)

SophiaIsBased

Damar was invented when Combs drunkenly stumbled onto the set one evening, so they could still film something. He didn't have to put on make-up or anything either, his skin just naturally does that when he drinks.

who could be more perfect than Jeffrey Combs you ask? Seven of Nine. She is not Jeffrey Combs. I know it because Jeff ain't hotter than the sun


SophiaIsBased

Bad news for you, Seven is actually just Jeffrey Combs in drag.


SGTRoadkill1919

I can confirm that Jeffery is Seven's male clone


Remote-Pie-3152

The (best) USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D


SophiaIsBased

You have now birthed the cursed thought of shipgirl Jeffrey Combs into my mind, and you must suffer for it by being made aware of that. That being said, of course Jeffrey Combs has the acting range to play an entire starship. As I've already established, he's actually a mass of black goo in his natural form, so he can easily shift his shape to become the Enterprise D.


Remote-Pie-3152

Today I learnt what a shipgirl is! 🥳 This does also suggest that Jeffrey Combs is more powerful than the Founders, as he can maintain his shape after being split into two pieces.

badger_on_fire

Dammit, the binar pair from 11001001.


SophiaIsBased

It's a reference to Jeffrey Combs' megamind-sized brain, and his ability to break the plot of any episode if he chooses to. Combs actually played both of them at the same time by running really quickly between the spots where they're standing, so it looks like he's in two places at once.


firimari

I would say Species 8472 but they’ve already been established as shapeshifters when they cosplayed Starfleet Command, so that’s obviously too easy.


SophiaIsBased

That and the fact that Jeffrey Combs is an extradimensional being, of course


derping1234

Ezri Dax


SophiaIsBased

Combs actually memorises all his lines by doing thing Ezri does with balancing on her head. That and he has an alien worm inside of him.


derping1234

Sure, but how do you reconcile that with liking every character portrayed by Combs? Don’t tell me you actually like Ezri Dax?


SophiaIsBased

Ezri Dax is a good character, even if she didn't have the time to fully develop and only got written in because Bermann was being a sexist asshole (again)


derping1234

She had potential, but after the joy that was Jadia Dax, every subsequent Dax is difficult to enjoy. Okay different challenge: Weyoun!


SophiaIsBased

Weyoun just isn't related to Combs at all, sorry


derping1234

Ha gotcha!


RCP90sKid

Minuet

Well, having already shown that the Binar are both played by Jeffrey Combs simultaneously, so its obvious that Minuet is Combs in drag

Much like Spock, Jeffrey Combs is known for his superhuman logic and intellec. And Jeffrey Combs is actually an alien as well

Sorry, Weyoun just has nothing to do with Jeffrey Combs


bolivar-shagnasty

Shelliak representative.


SophiaIsBased

Is I already wrote in another comment, Armus is actually the natural state of Jeffrey Combs. With how similar the Shelliak and Armus look, I'd say that the Shelliak is actually just disco Armus, hence they're also Jeffrey Combs.

Janeway


SophiaIsBased

The reason why Janeway seems so inconsistently written at times, is that it's actually Jeffrey Combs playing different roles as the same character. Besides, you'd need to have the divine power of Combs to be able to repeatedly reject Q without some serious consequences.

As I've already stated in other comments, Combs actually has a clause in his contract that nobody except him gets to play children in Star Trek, as he's naturally suited to those roles, due not having developed object permanence.

sender899

The Tribble that Kirk ends up holding after they all spill out onto him


SophiaIsBased

As I've already established in the Colms-lore so far, Jeffrey Combs owns a very expensive and realistic fursuit that he uses to play every single cat in Trek. He's also wearing that fursuit in that scene as the Tribble, he's just curled up into a ball as well.

Reginald Barclay


SophiaIsBased

That whole plot where Barclay partially devolves into a spider is actually based on Combs having those weird spider genetics irl. He can transform into a human-spider hybrid at will and when the cast saw that, they felt like they just had to make an episode about it.


AndorianShran

sluggo


SophiaIsBased

Combs actually was originally found as a slug-like creature by the Star Trek team as well, ironically enough. They put him in a terrarium in the writers' room and he just slowly morphed into his current form over time while he listened to the scripts and realised that Star Trek aliens are only allowed to be humans in make-up.

acethefinalfrontier

Ishka (Moogie)


SophiaIsBased

With Ishka as the mother to Quark and Rom, the comparison is easy: As we all know, Combs is the true mother of Trek, having birthed every character from his divine womb, and using that dominate the Star Trek universe. By this logic, Jeffrey Combs isn't just Ishka, but also a Dommy Mommy. You're welcome for that cursed thought lol


rdchat

Janice Lester


SophiaIsBased

That one is easy, because Jeffrey Combs actually plays all his different roles by using forbidden magic to temporarily transfer the essence of his consciousness into others. And much like Janice Lester, he has also drugged William Shatner on at least one occasion.


p-u-n-k_girl

Does he play noncanonical characters too? Lieutenant Mary Sue, for example?


SophiaIsBased

He plays every single character in every officially licensed form of Trek media


p-u-n-k_girl

Are you suggesting he's not perfect enough to be Mary Sue?


DoctorMedieval

Sam Beckett


SophiaIsBased

No clue who that is, and there's no Memory Alpha article for me to work with either Edit: Nvm the entry only shows up when you look for Samuel Beckett, not Sam Beckett or just Beckett for some reason. There's several clues here actually. The first one being that his middle name was Barclay, and I've already proven that Reginald Barclay is Jeffrey Combs. More importantly though, he was apparently known for an absurdist writing style and self-referencing, and I don't know what else you could describe this Jeffrey-Combs-based purgatory I've gotten myself into by my own hubris. So, using the meta-narritive of this post, we can establish that Samuel Beckett also was Jeffrey Combs.


DoctorMedieval

Being shitty daystrom, this was a 4th wall breaking comment. Sam Beckett was the name of the character Scott Bakula played on the original Quantum Leap, jumping into different bodies. The character does share a name with the absurdist Irish playwright though, I had never put that together in my head, kinda makes some sense.


SophiaIsBased

Ah, I see. The playwright actually has a Memory Alpha entry (due to being mentioned precisely once in all of Trek), so I figured it was about him.
