Is the name from the script (it is not in the episode)? Where can I get TOS scripts?

Name order[]

If "Kira Nerys" and "Ro Laren" are listed in their original Bajoran name order and not as "Nerys Kira" and "Laren Ro", why is Magda listed with the English name order? Hungarians have the same "twisted" name order as Bajorans, so correctly she is Kovács Magda. User: Ltarex

Probably because her name only indicates hungarian origin while possibly not being hungarian herself (the character). For instance my great-grandfather is hungarian yet I don't use my family name first...so yeah...no reason to change it. — Morder 12:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Where does "Kovacs" even come from? It doesn't seem to be in the episode. --TribbleFurSuit 17:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, it's on StarTrek.com in the cast listing for the episode but not on the character bio itself (and not from the actual episode as you pointed out) - it could come from the script and we have used script sources for names before... — Morder 19:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
