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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that 'Star Trek' became. It's still almost impossible to imagine.
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.
The thing about 'Star Trek' is that it is not judgmental. You can do what ever you want, within reason.
People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite.
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.
I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.
I think anybody with any intelligence sits down and sees Star Trek not a kids' show.
I grew up with 'Star Wars,' not 'Star Trek.'
I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.
'Star Trek' was always a little bit closed emotionally. I never connected to the characters.
