Working Title: Deja Vu All Over Again: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=p0xololk&trope=GenerationXerox From YKTTW]]


SomeGuy: Added FollowingInFathersFootsteps as a redirect, because I completely forgot about this trope when I made that YKTTW. So I reckoned it could use a few more searchable words. On a related note, I seem to have forgotten how to make redirects. Could anyone remind me how I'm supposed to format them?

DaibhidC:
*The ''StarTrek'' series always have TheKirk, TheSpock, and {{The McCoy}}, though who exactly {{The McCoy}} is is often hard to pin down (except in ''Enterprise'', which was a deliberate use of GenerationXerox.)
** The Captain: Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko and Archer
** The Second in Command: Spock, Riker, Kira, Chakotay and T'Pol
** The Alien: Spock, Worf, Quark, Neelix and Phlox
** The Doctor: [=McCoy=], Beverly Crusher, Julian Bashir, The Holographic Doctor and Phlox
** The Engineer: Scotty, Geordi [=LaForge=], Miles O'Brien, B'Elanna Torres and Trip Tucker
** The Chick: Uhura, Deanna Troi, Jadzia Dax, Seven of Nine and T'Pol
** The Kid: Chekov, Wesley Crusher, Jake Sisko, Naomi Wildman and Travis Mayweather
** The Filler: Nurse Chapel and Yeoman Rand, Tasha Yar and the Nerd Barclay, Ezri Dax and Kira Nerys, Tom Paris and Tuvok, Hoshi Sato.
*** Because' it's ''really'' unlikely that the same roles will be filled in starship crews that are part of the same organisation, albeit at different times...
****The worst, however, isn't listed above. This is the "character who isn't human and doesn't understand it, but tries to". Every series has this - Spock, Data, Odo, Seven of Nine, and T'Pol. Most of them also have the same highly logical personality.

Is there a trope for "Generation Xeroxes" that aren't actually related?
