I was tired of writing for shows where there was always a shoot-out in the last act and somebody was killed. 'Star Trek' was formulated to change that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd be happy to do Star Trek again, if the writing was right.
We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can't have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with - promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in 'Star Trek.'
STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.
In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.
I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.
I never watched 'Star Trek.'
As you know, when Star Trek was canceled after the second season, it was the activism of the fans that revived it for a third season.
I don't think you ever leave Star Trek for good.
Star Trek wouldn't die. There were a whole lot of young people who were touched by the thought process of science fiction. If you watched a cop show, there wasn't anything that was going to stimulate your mind.
'Star Trek' is notorious for looting the more thoughtful work of writers for their striking effects, leaving behind most of the thought and subtlety.
