His tone was apparently "i don't want to talk about it". ...although this makes it even funnier. I don't want to see the franchise crash and burn, but, at the same time, production disasters are always good for a laugh.

To be fair, there are a number of big-name actors who hate to discuss their time on Star Trek.

Just watched TOS "The Paradise Syndrome". Kirk gets zapped by a thing that turns him into a Native American and then he marries Pocahontas, played by an obviously white chick in redface. Episode was saved entirely by the ridiculous sight of Shatner prancing around in Indian garb.

Of all the things you could have asked Jason Isaacs about, why Discovery? I want to know which reality he thought was the real one in Awake.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Sisko and Dax are newlyweds who just moved back to Dax's hometown of San Diego. Jake is home from college and having trouble adjusting to his new stepmom and the new city. Bashir is Jake's college roommate and confidante. Kira and Quark live in the apartment next door. O'Brien is the landlord/janitor. Odo is Kramer. This is pretty good. And yea, Kira and Quark would make the perfect mismatched couple. Though I feel like Odo would be the landlord. Astroman posted:Benny Russell is a food critic for his local San Francisco paper.

My idea was Sisko's! Ben Sisko returns from his time in the Navy to help run his fathers Creole resturant in New Orleans after his father's heart attack. Ben and his Son Jake have to adjust to the wacky regulars, lazy staff and a food critic who wants nothing more than to shut him down.

WampaLord posted:Obviously Terry Farrell reprises her Becker role and becomes his main waitress. Well, I limited it to the cast photo, so Odo was the food critic, but Dukat would be better. Quark owns Cajun resturant across the street with his wife Kira, Dax is the Hostess, Bashir is the head waiter, O'brien is the cook ('they thought I was crazy to hire and Irishmen as the chef, but he's the best Creole chef I've ever seen!"), Jake works as a waiter. Season 2 a TGIF style chain resturant opens up with Weyuon as its manager who's always try to get them shut down so he can expand. Also Rom comes from College to help his buddy Jake, Wynn is the health inspector that also has it out for Sisko.

I dunno, considering that there were three episodes of TOS where the Enterprise went to 20th century Earth, I think The Voyage Home is entirely in spirit. To pitch in, I definitely find 5 more enjoyable to watch than any of the TNG movies.

Star Trek TNG show bible is pretty interesting to look at - casting Picard and Riker as "dual lead characters", which is reflected by the opening credits (Stewart and Frakes get "starring" while everyone else gets "also starring" and "with") but never quite panned out in practice.

Gene Roddenberry kept pitching a concept for the TOS movies where Kirk and company go back in time to stop the Kennedy assassination but it backfires and future is horrible now and they have to go back again and undo it so Spock shoots JFK from the grassy knoll. I know it would have been a horrible movie, and it's a good thing Gene was completely sidelined by this point, but drat if I wouldn't be curious to see that particular train wreck on the big screen.

I'd bet good money Nimoy would have straight-up refused to play Spock shooting JFK. At which point Gene Roddenberry gets huffy and says "fine, we don't need you, I'll just recast ~*The Vulcan Science Officer*~" and then I'm pretty sure even the bizzaro-verse Paramount studio execs who greenlit the script would have said "woah, wait a minute here."

There was an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam jumped into Lee Harvey Oswalt and eventually shot JFK. But it was okay, because at the end Al was like, oh, you fixed the past, because you didn't shoot Jackie this time around.
