The 1701 reaches 1000 missions!

that's what we would call a miss, in the hits and misses. And in case you didn't get the memo, the phrase Jump the Shark, has well...Jumped the Shark.

And Elvis has left the building....

So far, haven't seen any of the Enterprise stars at a con...

Me, either. So far, I've only met Robin Curtis (Saavik), James Doohan (Scotty), and Aron Eisenberg (Nog). Which is fine with me - I don't really care that much about meeting the actors. The creative staff - writers and such - are what I'm more interested in.

No, I think it is too much to expect. Many writers take the jobs they can get and are not in a position to turn down jobs. I don't expect actors or anyone working on a show to have to like it when it is done. It is a paycheck. If they happen to like it, that's just bonus.

That's the problem with Hollywood. It's a major "Dog-eat-dog" world there. Very cutthroat.

Too many actors/writers and not enough jobs for them.

Well, yes, but you're talking about the way the production companies MAKE it work, not the way it SHOULD. :\

Yes, I am talking about the reality of the situation. as for how it should be, that's immaterial

 

[Torm]

I'm just kidding, but seriously, every non-elderly female playing a Vulcan was niiiice.

I never found Kirstie Alley attractive at all. And I thought Robin Curtis was a much more appropriate look for Saavik, if not as good an actress, until I went to a convention and got to listen to her talk about Tetris and female masturbation. (Not kidding. ) Now, seeing her kinda makes me uncomfortable.

wow, that would have been cool to hear....

I like collecting the autographs.

I've also met a few literary guests at various cons. They're usually very nice people!

Not as much as you would think. REALLY not as much.

That's just how it is in that business. Same for the costuming/makeup aspect as well. I know of about two people who are into that aspect of the business and they both would love to do more work in the industry!
