Subject: Mark & Brian transcript Part 2

S: Anyway, he's a space boomer. He grew up in space on cargo ships. So he's spent very little time on earth. So that's his whole... he's got a whole... he's on tiny cargo ships that go warp 1.8. So he says, "Well, I spent the third, fourth and fifth grades trying to get from here to there." So that's his life. He's experiences, but he has a different slant on things. Linda Parks plays my communications officer. And she's this very young, brilliant dialectician. But it's her first time in space, so she's very excited. I trick her into coming, 'cause I play her a little Klingon, which she's never heard before. And that's part of our mission.

M&B: You "play" her a little Klingon?

S: Well, I have it on a tape recorder. She's in Brazil. And we have to leave quickly in the pilot. So I go down and I say, "Look, you gotta come." She says, "I can't; I'm in the middle of this thing. I can't come." And I say, I just play the little tape recorder and she's hooked. So she's fantastic. Dominic Keating is my tactical officer and he's a Brit, and Englishman who basically loves to blow things up. We gotta sit on him a little bit. Here go the humans into space.... "Let's blow them up!" So we're working on his personality flaw. And let's see, do I have all the guys, then we have John Billingsley, who plays the good Dr. Phlox. And Dr. Phlox is from somewhere else. We don't hear where he's from for about four episodes. If you've seen the he pictures, he's the one that looks a little bit like a lizard slash bird. So we have five humans, which is great because it makes the show very-much based in that end of the spectrum, and one Vulcan and one Denoblian (sp).

M&B: You're telling me about the crew, and what you're saying that makes is to exciting is, it's just 150 years from now.

S: Yeah, you can start to get your mind around that.

M&B: But you have to be careful, I'm assuming, too.

S: Yeah, the notion is....

M&B: Is Dick Clark still alive?

S: We haven't talked about that yet. There is a chance.

M&B: But you're right. With only 150 years, it has to be within the realm of believability. You can't go too far out.

S: Right.

M&B: We have to take a break in a second, but, I wanted to also ask... This being on UPN, it's not one of the big three, or even four, networks. I'm assuming they're excited to have a quality show like this on their network. Have they been a little more workable than, say, NBC, CBS or ABC might have been more controlling.

S: Well, the ST franchise has pretty much done their own thing for a long time. And that's it. They're thrilled. They've been wonderful.

M&B: They're not allowed on the set.

S: Nobody comes on the set. Rick and Brandon, they're trusted generals out there.

M&B: No notes from the network!

S: I'm not saying that, but we never get the sense that there's a big not-thing happening.

M&B: It's just a trust.

S: Well, yes, and it would be a nice thing if some of the other networks would employ those ideas. We're "noted" to death these days.

M&B: When we were on the set of Next Generation....

S: Yes, LeVar's directing this week, and he says to tell you "hello." And he says those same lizard guys are coming back, and he wants you to play them.

M&B: No, thanks, no!

S: Oh, you guys!

M&B: We had to urinate using hot dog tongs. And that's just not good. It's not right.

S: Is that what they told you? Is that how they told you to do it? You fell for the old hot-dog routing, didn't 'ya?!

M&B: We were young; we needed the work. Anyway, when we were on the set, we met this guy. Can you imagine a dream job for this guy? He was a nerd. He was a trekkie, a trekker. He just knew everything. I don't even think he had a job. If it was, it was flipping burgers somewhere. But he knew everything about it. And they found this guy, and he was one of the technical directors of TNG. That's his job. Isn't that great? Can you imagine a dream job for that poor guy? He has to make sure it's all technically correct. Couldn't get laid to save his life, now he's like a Hollywood mogul. He's the guy. OK, we have to take a slight pause. We'll return, Scott Bakula....

S: What is the break thing?

M&B: We're 8 minutes late!

S: Oh! All right.

M&B: 'Cause you're so damn funny! We have to give you a rest 'cause you're tired. Let's just take a big dip and lay back (???). We'll be back.
