10. I've heard that George Takei is nice

Is that true?

Many of the original cast have had a hard time dealing with the aftermath of Trek enthusiasts and the fact that they were typecast.

I have been to many sci fi conventions (most of them for Dr Who) and "met" Leonard Nimoy...I say "met" because it was in an autograph line and that's not really meeting someone.

11. info please

What kind of work are you two doing?

Are you talking any trek?

did he bring it up or what or anything?

[7th_Sephiroth]

12. you would think

that he wouldent want to

[CanuckAmok]

13. He actually brought it up...

I got in a shuttle van with him to go to set, and he told the driver to "take us to warp factor four" because he was late for breakfast.

He's appearing in a TV series I'm working on, but I can't say which one because there's a confidentiality/security agreement in place until the season is completed.

However, I can tell you that I have convinced the director to do one shot for the blooper reel, where one of the cameras will tilt, and all the cast and crew in the shot will rock back and forth with the camera angle, a la 'Enterprise Collision" effect.

14. nice

ok i figured he wouldnt bring it up because im sure by now hes tired of all attention. Kinda neat he did.
