Transcript

00:00 I don't know, Nick. The Starburst maneuver's banned for a reason.

00:03 Pulling it off would make us legends.

00:05 You're already a legend.

00:07 I think it's really exciting the way Mike McMahon

00:10 weaves previous Star Trek characters into our episodes.

00:15 It just feels like little presents that we get to wrap up and give to the fans.

00:19 Being part of the legacy of Star Trek has been the greatest joy.

00:28 As much as we're in favor of joining the Federation,

00:31 the Grand Nagus can't sign with a bunch of suckers and rubes.

00:34 I've always loved this role.

00:36 I was originally up for the role of a Bajoran Dabo girl,

00:40 which was the role of Marta.

00:41 And then I heard that they wrote the role of Leta for me.

00:46 She's got this heart of gold, but she's fun, and she's no pushover.

00:50 We're not going back to work until this is settled.

00:53 Just the fact that Leta is with Rom,

00:56 and to stand by Nag with all he's gone through,

01:00 for Leta to become the mother of a boy who went off to war,

01:06 is so not a Dabo girl.

01:08 And I think it's the most Star Trek message

01:11 that we are so much more than we seem.

01:14 I'm the former Dabo girl running the show, and what is better than that?

01:18 We'll start on page 11, subsection B.

01:20 "Incentivization vis-a-vis the great Ferengi people

01:22 and our reluctant acceptance of your Federation."

01:25 She means brides.

01:26 I can't believe where the show has taken us.

01:31 I love it.

01:32 Quick, lackeys, carry me to the shuttle!

01:35 I saw the premiere of the original Star Trek

01:38 when I was a young teenager, and it had a verve about it.

01:44 A kind of energy and a leaning forward into the material from the actors.

01:51 And it's contagious, and I've tried to bring that kind of spirit and tone

01:57 to every character that I've done in the Star Trek universe.

02:01 You are an incredible thespian!

02:04 Oh, he's that guy? Wait a minute.

02:06 He's that guy over there, too? I never knew that.

02:09 That's the best for me, when people don't know that I'm Shran and Weyoun,

02:14 and Brunt, and Agamas.

02:17 We have to find Locarno.

02:19 Who?

02:20 Mr. Locarno was drummed out of the Academy

02:22 for getting another student killed during a prohibited flight maneuver.

02:25 You know, a lot of people thought Tom Paris was Nick Locarno.

02:28 You know, they still think that.

02:30 - They're identical. - No, I just don't see it.

02:32 As I understand it, the producers, they loved that episode.

02:36 And they talked about bringing Nick Locarno on to Deep Space Nine.

02:39 Are we ready for that?

02:41 They decided not to, it didn't quite fit.

02:43 And so I think the studio decided for Voyager that,

02:46 "Hey, let's bring back sort of Nick Locarno,

02:48 but let's call him a new name."

02:50 Fans would ask me, like, "Oh, are you playing a version of Nick Locarno?"

02:55 And my answer was, "Absolutely not."

02:58 Tom Paris would never have been the big bad in this episode.

03:01 It was not possible.

03:02 Nick? What the hell are you doing here?

03:04 When Mike called me, and he said, "I have this idea,

03:08 but I don't want to write it unless you're interested."

03:10 And he sort of pitched me out this whole season arc

03:13 of this mysterious bad guy coming around now to do Nick Locarno again

03:19 and voice such a clearly evil character in this Lower Decks version.

03:26 It was so much fun.

03:27 - How do I look? - Confident, but, you know, like in a creepy way.

03:30 Perfect. I think the fans are gonna love it.

03:33 I hope they do. I had a blast doing it.

03:36 My favorite memories of Star Trek, my time on Voyager in those years,

03:40 are the people.

03:42 The ensemble aspect of it, the camaraderie.

03:46 As much fun as the show was and still is, it's the moments with the fans.

03:50 There's nothing else quite like Star Trek in terms of its history.

03:55 And Lower Decks is definitely one of my favorite new versions

04:00 because you can tell any story you want.

04:02 You can go anywhere in the world you want, do anything you want.

04:05 I think it's just so clever.

04:08 Whatever. Who cares?

04:09 Lower Decks can have you laughing and crying in the same five minutes.

04:13 It's so beautifully full.
