Links to more information about the Star Trek: The Next Generation Behind The Scenes set.

Twenty years after the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (STNG) aired, you’d think the cast members, most of whom were assembled on Friday before a sellout crowd at Hammerstein Ballroom, would be plumb out tales, secrets and surprises. But you’d be wrong.

Sep 29, 2008 'Five Card Stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit.' I've been notified that this video has been embedded in a Yahoo! News article about Star Trek: TNG. May 19, 2009 While references to poker turn up here and there amid the franchise’s many incarnations, it was the second major television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994), that saw poker.

Led by the original Starship Enterprise Captain, William Shatner (he played Captain James T Kirk for three seasons), the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), told stores, cracked jokes and revealed a few little known facts as part of New York Comic Con's first Super Week pop-culture festival.

Shatner sat center stage, with cast members arrayed on either side of him, including Denise Crosby, John de Lancie, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton and, seated right beside “Captain Kirk,” Sir Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean Luc Picard.

There were notable absences. Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher, was unaccountably absent and so was Picard’s Number One, Jonathan Frakes, who played William Riker.

Without Roddenberry

It was, perhaps, the only truly serious question of the night. A particularly perceptive audience member noted how when Star Trek started in 1966 and even in the 1987 reboot, it was an optimistic look at what humanity can be, but in later years, STNG and especially Deep Space Nine became more of an allegorical take on the underbelly of society.

Initially, none of the cast members seemed eager to take this one on. Then Stewart spoke up.

“This is awkward. You’re right, things did change and they did change after Gene Roddenberry had died, because Gene was very specific about certain things he did not want to be themes in the show. For example, politics. I absolutely understand why that should be so. We were a science fiction show. Rick Berman, who took over from Gene as executive producer was more interested in these things, as all of us were. And so it enabled us to deal with current issues, societal issues in ways that interested us and that we could put our own selves behind in a strong way.

With all respect to Gene, whom we all love and adore -– we wouldn’t be here without (even you Bill). But I think the show became, perhaps, more interesting.”

50th Opportunities

Imdb Star Trek The Next Generation

In two years the Star Trek franchise will celebrate its 50th anniversary. That celebration will coincide with the release of a third film in the rebooted film series. Skirting the question of whether or not William Shatner will reprise his role as Captain Kirk in some kind of cameo, an audience member asked if any of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast would consider appearing in the film as a character different than their original ones on STNG.

“As someone other than Geordi La Forge?” asked LeVar Burton. “That would be a no.”

“It would smack of cute casting to have any of us playing another role in a Star Trek movie,” remarked Patrick Stewart.

Brent Spiner, though, joked, “I certainly would be honored to be in the third Star Trek film that they’re making now, playing all of the characters and all of their families.”

He’s French

Captain Jean Luc Picard is about as French a name as you can have, but anyone who’s watched STNG Slots.lv casino bonus codes 2018. knows that Picard is an Englishman through and through. In response to a question on Picard’s nationality, Sirtis, who played Betazoid Deana Troi, recalled that the producers wanted her to find an accent suited to her “Betazoid” origins. “Excuse me,” she told the producers, “why the hell am I doing an accent? [Picard] is supposed to be French.”

Stewart then revealed that there was some indecision about his character’s background.

“Somewhere in the vaults of Paramount [which produced the series] there is a piece of film or video, which has me on camera reading a scene in a French accent. They weren’t sure if he should be French or American or English,” said Stewart. He then proceeded to give us a little taste of him reading the series’ most famous line, which sounded a bit like Inspector Clouseau, with a French accent, “Space .. Ze Final Frontier.”

The Next Generation was the ‘Fun’ Cast

Of all the cast members, only one, Michael Dorn playing Worf, made the full-time transition from one Star Trek series, The Next Generation, to another, Deep Space Nine, but he revealed that the environments were quite a bit different.

“We were fun, laughing, having a great time for seven years. It was great work. When they said action, we were like, ‘Sir!’ [very serious] and when they said ‘cut’ we were doing show tunes and hanging around the set. It was just great. You go over to Deep Space Nine [1993-1999] and it was a very serious show. They would call Avery ‘Mr. Brooks.’ It was like a monastery over there.”

Dorn noted that the cast eventually loosened up and “in a short time, they were wild and crazy, too.”

Shatner, who was intrigued by the idea of the cast singing, dancing and, in LeVar Burton’s case being “asleep behind [Giordi’s] visor,” got the entire cast to sing a single line of “Volare.”

Would You Fly?

Star Trek: The Next Generation is set in the 24th century, roughly 200 years from now, a time when humans have ostensibly worked out interstellar spaceflight. If such space flight happens within the cast mates' lifetimes, would they go into space?

“I wouldn’t go on the first flight. I’d go on like the hundredth flight, just when I’d think they got it worked out,” quipped Dorn.

From 1986 to 1988, a 'Jackpot' space was placed on the wheel in Round Three. Wheel of fortune game bands. My high score in Wheel of Fortune. The original version of the American game show Wheel of Fortune was created by Merv Griffin and aired on NBC from January 6, 1975 to June 30, 1989.It moved to CBS from July 17, 1989 to January 11, 1991 and back to NBC on January 14, 1991 until September 20, 1991 when it was canceled for good. When the series began the minimum value on the wheel was $25 and the top dollar value was $500 in Round One, $750 in Round Two, and $1,000 for each round after that.

Stewart, though, sounded ready to go: “I would like to ride the fire,” said Stewart, “I would like to experience the launch, because some of their accounts from those going out to the space station, are remarkable.”

A Shaky Story

The cast also recounted a few funny, behind-the-scenes moments from the show, including the time they survived the 1987 Whittier Earthquake.

Denise Cosby, who played Tashar Yar recalled both Jonathan Frakes' calm and Stewart’s confused ire.
