The Likely Lads Full Movie In English. Deep Space Nine showrunner Ira Steven Behr 1. DS9 story in nearly 2. Gene Roddenberry, and why he always predicted the show would become more popular after it was off the air. You recently got writers Ronald D. Moore, Rene Echevarria and Hans Beimler back together for one day to break a new DS9 episode. What was it like getting the band back together That was an idea that I had based on a conversation with Avery, because Avery kept saying, There were ground rules, which was everyone had to watch the final episode of season seven, so everyone remembered where everyone was on the playing field, or at least read the Wikipedia page. We werent going to have any cheat sheets. We are going in there with nothing for one day to see if we could get through a pilot episode of the show. Obviously, as with any show, you dont break a show in a day and if you do, you still go back the next day and refine. This is the raw material, but its a fascinating process. We had a fantastic time doing it. It was amazing how time slipped away and everyone was back doing their thing and interacting and arguing and getting passionate and it was really a magic day. You have all gone on to do other things. Were you bringing that experience with you, or was it like being back in the late 9. I dont think anyone was thinking about anything except,. It doesnt matter who you are or what youve done, whether you are writing TV, movie, novels. Every day, its a new day. You cant sit down and go,. For one day, we were all immersed into the universe of Deep Space Nine and all of those character meant something, and all of those storylines. You were the boss on the show for years, but there must have been things going on you didnt know about. Whats something you learned about DS9 while making this docThe thing that took me aback was when Nana Visitor. And that certainly was not how I viewed myself. I came down to the set. The suits did not come down to the set. I thought I had a much better relationship with the cast than that. And it was just like, seriously But when you are doing 2. Plus we never really left the soundstage, so they were working under these conditions. Always inside. Always in the dark. Im sure any sense of what was really going on seemed just out of reach for them. They lived in their own kind of bubble. Heres an exclusive clip of Visitor in the documentary. By todays standards, 2. Today youd probably have 1. Was it a grind We were working all the time, so the days went quite quickly because we were so focused on what we were doing. If you ask me,. How did you feel about DS9s reception at the time, and how do you view its legacy now that its considered by many to be the greatest Trek ever It was very clear early on that Star Trek fans are no different in some ways than other fans of other types of shows. They like what they like and thats what they want. I totally understand it, but we were doing something a little different. We set out to do something different and we held to that course no matter what. Thats what we thought the franchise needed. Yes, at the time, it was different and different doesnt necessarily take off immediately. People are suspicious of different. We were able to do so many things because Voyager was the Star Trek series that waved the flag of the franchise. Or TNG before that, so we had our own pace to be that kind of somewhat outlier show. So yes, I always believed the audience would catch up. If I had any idea how the delivery system was going to change over the years, if I had any idea that there would be binging, I would have been even more definitive in my belief. But I had no idea about that. I just thought it would be a slow word of mouth. This documentary is going to have fans in it as well. Whats your relationship like with the these days When I go to conventions now, and I see these fans, some of whom were not even alive when the show was on. Mako Mermaid Season 4 Episode 5'>Mako Mermaid Season 4 Episode 5. All the tired belief systems of Star Trek, which was. Then TNG took it even further. And thats what Star Trek is, and thats what it has to be. They dont have to follow any banner. They dont have to follow any path. They see a show, they like it, they dont like it. Gene Roddenberry has been gone a long time. Hes a brand name, but to the younger audience, hes just a name. And hes not something they have to salute. They just come to it on their own, and I think thats been a wonderful thing.
