John DeLancie To Guest Star On 'West Wing'

I'm really enjoying this - I actually get to combine my love of 'The West Wing' with a TrekToday news item! According to a news item on TV Guide, the May 3 episode of 'The West Wing' will feature a guest appearance by John DeLancie (Q). Below is a full synopsis of the episode, as originally posted on An Unofficial Tribute to the West Wing:

A newly energized President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) bucks tradition and throws down the gauntlet when he names two Democrats -- both campaign finance reformers -- to the Federal Election Commission despite threats from his political opponents to introduce embarrassing legislation that would dare him not to sign. But the President wants to go further and floats a controversial new drug enforcement policy.

In the meantime, the early reactions to his first announcement are not encouraging, especially from top-notch pollster Al Kiefer (guest star John de Lancie, "Star Trek: The Next Generation") who is hired to take the public's "temperature." However, Kiefer's arrival means his attractive cohort, Joey Lucas (Oscar-winning guest star Marlee Matlin), accompanies him, and she again draws a smitten Josh's (Bradley Whitford) attention. Toby (Richard Schiff) agrees to seek out his ex-wife (guest star Kathleen York), a breezy congresswoman, to gauge her response to any future narcotics legislation that would emphasize prevention over enforcement. Leo (John Spencer) -- uncomfortably aware of his own brush with drugs -- agrees to be the Chief Executive's front man for positioning the high-voltage issue of revising the drug laws. Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Moira Kelly and Dule Hill also star.
