Ep.2.13: "The Doctor Is In" with Gates McFadden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- The Doctor is in! That's right - Season 2, episode 13 is here. Connor, Dominic, and Erica have a wonderful conversation with Star Trek royalty, Gates McFadden, best known to us as Dr. Crusher.
We discuss Gates' childhood in Ohio, running off to France for school, finding her way back to the US, her first first name and more. How booking Star Trek got her to LA and what it's like having the family reunion that is Picard season 3. Wash is looking better than ever. Erica gets some fan questions in, this week’s Star Trek Trivia gets outed as a sham, and Gates plays “Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.”
It's another awesome conversation and another amazing Star Trek icon having some laughs. The Doctor will see you now, but we already know the prescription... mimosas and fun, so buckle up!

Dominic should watch some of these back and see how often he talks over their guest while they are talking
The dude is annoying!
I never realized what a world-class intellect she is. The TNG writers should have shaped her charachter around that.
I adore the way Gates looked out for Erica, turning the conversation back to her after she tried to ask a question. A subtle but important demonstration of both keen awareness of, and compassion for, others in a group conversation. Everyone in this interview did a great job. Looking forward to checking out more on your channel!
I also noticed it and I was thinking the same. Great Gates!!!!
I noticed that too! And I think it goes beyond looking out for others in group conversation, but reflects a keen awareness of how women are often talked over in group settings. Not on Gates McFadden's watch.
@@jqxok men generally have more important things to say than women. its been scientifically proven that women's brains are smaller and best suited for menial tasks such as cooking and cleaning.
@@nepntzerZersexist pig
I've never seen Gates open up like this before, fascinating lady. The Shuttlepod crew putting late night "talk" show hosts to shame again. The interview was a dying art form before this podcast breathed new life into it.
Thank you Adrian!
Yes, let the guest have their moment.
Ditto. My thoughts exactly. It's nice to hear human stories instead of all the positive BS that says nothing.
You should listen to listen to her podcast. She’s great!!
@@josephsullivan5145 I missed what her podcast is. Can you respond with it?
Ok, I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way....but I don't know if you all feel about this the way I do but here goes: [ The ShuttlepodShow is THE BEST STAR TREK PODCAST over the Internet. ] How many likes of agreement will that statement get?
HAhAHA... well, we hope it gets some likes!
@@ShuttlepodShow I kinda ruined it, because it had 69 likes before I gave mine. ;)
As long as the ready room doesn’t count as a podcast. Wil Wheaton is an amazing host.
See for me - As a non-actor I love the in-depth discussion of craft we get and generally the conversations we aren't getting elsewhere... Now smash that like button!
It's definitely one of my favorite ones, but it's only one of two I watch, so my perspective is kind of skewed. The other one I watch is Newbie Star Trek. NST and Shuttlepod are both great in their own ways in my opinion.
Gates doe more in this new Picard than she was ever allowed in TNG. And she's so good in it. Thanks for this!
There are episodes centered around her character were she was allowed to do similar stuff. One being the one where Worf is paralized and she has a clash with that other doctor over the experimental surgery. What Gates did in this Episode was amazing.
But I agree, she is definately among those with the strongest moments in Season 3 of Picard.
No way, she's 74. She sounds so young and her style doesn't reflect her age. Just wow! And such an interesting interview again from you guys!
Thanks a lot for this!
She is still a very beautiful woman
Vintage Beauty.
So much botox and surgery
@@davidt8087 Still want to partake a pilgrimage through her Gates of Paradise.
@@kurtsnyder4752 no way do I want to fadden in those gates 🤮. I honestly like voyager and ds9 more.
Gates has been so amazing in season 3. She really helps bring the TNG feeling back. That opening scene was badazz. The talk with picard was top notch acting. Such a gift to see Dr. Beverly Crusher in action again.
That talk between Dr. Crusher and Picard is one of my most favourite scenes of the entire franchise. The writing, the execution, perfect!
Gates is INCREDIBLE!
It's about time that Beverly was front and center!!! She's freaking GATES McFADDEN!!! ❤
She's cute and funny! (:
Gates talking incredulously about how dark the sets are lit is so telling.
I hate this new way of shooting shows. Everything is so dark. The image starts to pixelate, if that's the right word. And the sound isn't that great either. I always have to have the subtitles running. For context I'm watching these on a tablet or phone. I don't have a big screen tv, but I think I'm not the only one.
@hbl142 yes exactly, although I don’t watch any new Trek, I’ve seen clips.
Yeah, they’ve mistaken a dark, broody, atmospheric set with just NOT having lights. The dimness isn’t artistic, it’s just hard to watch.
@@hbl142I can't watch during the day because so many scenes in sci-fi are dark... because my home has too much natural lighting for sci-fi 😂. And then there's the low voice mumbling of lines now because mics are so good. This is every sci-fi show now... except maybe The Orville.
I'm also on team subtitles.
Genuinely good natured people having a nice chat. This made a pleasant Sunday morning for me. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ShuttlepodShow don't be afair of a long episode when it's this fun.
11:20 "The sets were really dark. A lot of the time I was asking 'Are we lit?'" Audience member here, we're asking ourselves the same question. (No seriously, I had to turn the brightness up to 68 on my TV.)
Dear TV and movie editors: I don't have an OLED TV. Thank you for your time.
This comment cannot get enough likes. I do have the best OLED TV available to consumers (also calibrated) and I am in a pitch black room. The dark scenes are getting a little out of control. Everything is dark. I miss the lighting from the TNG era of Trek.
I think it's because they think it ruins the mood when it just depends on how it's shot.
@@GODCONVOYPRIME The bright lighting? I don't know. I mean, we have such precise recording tools these days that actors don't have to compromise their vision of the scene and producers don't have to compromise and editors and yadda yadda.... but they're forgetting that they still have to compromise with the audience. I understand that the director wants the scene to be dark... but I want to see the actors' faces.
Like, if I was watching a Marvel movie, and somebody got *photo-realitically* shot in the face, I'd turn the movie off. That's sort of the same thing; even if it's the author's vision, it's not something I, as an audience member, have an appetite for in my Marvel movies.
"Can" versus "should," y'know? You *can* have your actor speak in an historically accurate and extremely thick 18th century Cockney accent as though they're an illiterate commoner with a broken jaw, but *should you?*
@@yanniobkirk5744 I also have a pretty high-end OLED TV, and was also thinking PIC S3 was insanely dark, haha.
I have a large OLED. The only benefit is so all that black looks great
Its a pleasure to listen to Gates McFadden and her tales in the acting and dancing community. Her storyline on Picard is very compelling this season!
I am SO impressed with what a consummate actor and teacher Gates McFadden is. This wasn't just a great interview. It was a deeply insightful class in the art of acting. What an incredible gift she has been for so many fans and actors! I can't wait to catch up and watch her recreate and evolve Dr.Crusher.
Thank you all so much for this fantastic show that gives us insight to both the Star Trek legacy but more importantly the people who breathed life into it!
What John said. I have enjoyed every episode of shuttlepod but this has been my fave episode hands down
Total class act. Gates was a fave actor for me in TNG( and my TNG crush). Always felt that her theater skills made her performance really shine. Just incredible. Thanks guys!
Gates has a wonderful personality, and is so clever and eclectic. Great interview! 🖖
Wow! Gates McFadden! Not to knock previous guests... just an actor's actor. Incredible as this show always is.
That scene where Dr. Crusher bares her soul to Picard was incredible. Tearing up thinking about it. I, along with probably most of the audience, went from "how could she do that" to "she HAD to do everything in her power to keep the child safe."
That was powerful stuff and incredible acting all around. Truly
I just adore this little Podcast. It’s so quaint and detailed. It’s like Inside the Actors Studio but for us simple Trek folk. Theres so many facets to the Actors that have played these parts over the decades. They’re all super talented. Accomplished Actors are a treasure.
It was such a phenomenal scene. At first I was a little pissed at her not understanding why she could do some thing like that then at the end my husband and I looked at each other and said well she’s got a lot of good points.
@@majorzipf8947 EXACTLY!!
@@shaindaman13 Yes!!! The only sad thing, is all of the actors who are no longer with us to be guests. I would love to listen to René Auberjonois talk about his time on Trek (and his whole life).
@@majorzipf8947 Exactly, plus, she did say that she gave Jack the option to reach out to his dad if he wanted to.
I loved this interview. Dominic has improved his interviewing skills dramatically. Awesome job DK.
I agree, less interrupting, but should still let the guest pause with answering a question as in this episode Gates hadn't finished speaking.
Why did you have to make me aware Dom has the same initials as donkey Kong?
@@JonathanJK Less interrupting, but still plenty of it. Made many portions of the interview uncomfortable, especially when Gates was talking about the sexism of Hollywood and how women aren’t listened to or told to be quiet. DK kept interrupting to inject comments or put words in her mouth or to state something Gates already said.
He needs to take a step back and just let people talk and give them time to think as they work through their answers.
@@tgs7515 That line about Bitches and dancer was low. Connor would be better without Dom.
Still interrupts too much. Definitely room for improvement.
Just fabulous, thank you for this! Any chance of getting Scott Bakula in the seat, would love to hear his stories.
Gates is a class act. Not really a Trekkie per se but TNG has my heart and every member of that cast is dear to me.
They have all been great so far, but Gates was an absolute stunner of a guest this week. She is so vibrant and full of energy at an age where most have already started slowing down, and her spirit and passion for life and her career just shine through so brilliantly.
I really loved getting to hear all the wonderful stories she had to share.
I would like to echo the sentiments of many other commenters in saying that while the more recent Trek Series have been ok, they haven’t really resonated with me on the same level as the Berman-Braga era Trek did.
Picard Season 3 has brought me a level of joy and anticipation for upcoming episodes in a way I haven’t felt since Enterprise was on the air.
Having Gates and the rest of the TNG cast rejoin Patrick Stewart to do what they do best when they work together on set has brought back to life a special place reserved in my heart for Trek I thought I had lost almost 20 years ago, and I want to thank them for bringing their particular talents and camaraderie together for what might possibly be for the last time in this kind of scope and scale.
It means more than words can describe, and they should be proud of themselves , Dom and Connor and many others included, for being able to have that level of impact on the lives of others and the joy they have brought to so many people over the years.
This interview was a delight! When I was a teen watching TNG, I always thought of Beverly as my "Space Mom", she was everything I wanted my mom to be. She's always been one of my favorite ST characters, so seeing her get to take center stage here has been wonderful! Gates is phenomenal!
It took me literally to the penultimate episode of Star Trek Enterprise for the theme song to grow on me.
We lost Enterprise too soon 💔
Hahaha! Just in time!
I still can’t believe how perfectly the theme to Perfect Strangers works with the opening titles for Enterprise.
Picard S1-S2-S3 is doing wonders for elderly actors having the opportunity to do good work demonstrating their lifetime of skills. All the NG crew come across great in the show.
They’re knocking out of the park!
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!! I love Beverly Crusher and I love Gates McFadden. I'm looking forward to this so much!
This was a fantastic interview with Gates. I love seeing her on Picard and I love the character development for her character Dr. Crusher. It's a long time coming and I'm glad she's getting her due. Dominic, Connor, Erica and Wash are fantastic. Can't wait for the next episode. Thank you, Shuttlepod Show!
Fascinating show. It’s brilliant to see all the actors together, and to think they are all in their 70’s!! When I was a boy, people of that age looked sooooo very different!!! It gives me hope, as a man who is now 62 ( just!). It’s good to hear their experiences and their early lives. I’m so impressed by this show.
I thought the Picard and Beverly dynamic and scenes, the confrontation, the silent realization, all of it, was the best writing in Trek in a long time, as far as scene writing and dialogue, maybe EVER. So whatever balance they struck in those discussions, they nailed it. Picard's and Beverly's point of views are both done so well
Connor, Dom and Erica - congrats on another awesome episode! Gates was a lovely guest, she sure has had some incredible experiences over the course of her life! She seems like a great conversationalist as well. No doubt in my mind her students gained alot from her as a teacher. It was very cool to see her, Connor and Dominic discuss the many facets of/approaches to acting, especially as someone completely alien (pun intended) to the craft itself. Really enjoyed her insight about navigating the industry as a woman as well, I'm sure it has been no easy task, especially back in the 80s. Never would've guessed she had that kind of music taste either, but I think it's pretty rad. I wouldn't mind talking music with her! All in all, another great episode of the Pod. Very excited to see what you have in store for us next week! Happy Shuttlepod Sunday one and all...and happy birthday Connor! I hope you have a fantastic day! 🥳🖖🎉🍃💚
Thank you Hal for all the kind words! You have a fantastic day, too!
I hate how dark the sets are now and I have no idea why. Good job listening Dom!
Great interview! I was completely blindsided by Gates' taste in music! Dead Can Dance, goth and Rammstein!? She just became even cooler in my eyes!
i listen to that plus metal , new age, rock jazz 👍😎
Picard season 3 definitely by far the best trek I've seen for a very long time, I will say season 3 just amazing and it's just bloody good story
sadly only S3
Best Trek since Enterprise.
No can't be PS3 last not after the last lot of episode I've watched I'm on episode 5 ...it's bloody brilliant
This is great. Never feels like an interview or promotion, just friends that we get to watch.
Thank you!
his is such a great show. I came for the Conner and Dominic cause I love Enterprise. What it turns out to be is a great show for successful actors to talk about their lives and the profession. So much better than Inside the Actors Studio.
@@miller-joel i get that feeling too. I wonder if/when the new trek actors get invited they will ever address the change of tone/cursing/dread of their shows.
@@miller-joel I'd rather have guests on to talk about what they're comfortable/willing to talk about than feel pressured to talk about a particular thing, or not be on at all.
You can see Connor & Dominic try to probe guests on the various episodes (like here with Gates), and if someone doesn't want to get into particulars of a situation they don't, and the topic isn't forced.
To me, this show isn't the typical industrial Hollywood interview where someone has to flog their next book/show/movie/etc. in a set amount of time, and the interviewer(s) are often times trying to either get gossip or force a BFF connection with someone.
TSS to me feels like a fireside dinner conversation Star Trek talent would have when they bumped into each other at a convention where fans might be around.
What a terrible comparison. Comparing some you-tube video to an acting university show. You should be ashamed of yourself. You just dont like old white guys unless they are feeble
@@miller-joel It’s a shame to see it as wasted potential, as if the actors, producers, and writers interviewed (and Dominic and Connor themselves) “owe” it to the fans to air dirty laundry.
Honestly, their Birman interview did plenty of that, though, if you absolutely must have it. He answered a lot more than I expected him to.
It’s not often that you get to hear your favorite actors just talk about their careers in a fairly candid manner. Why push for the drama when most of them have had so many other interesting things that happened to them?
@@miller-joel I think you mistook me for the other person replying to your comment. 🤨 This was the first time I addressed you. And perhaps if that’s your stance, you should examine the way you phrased things because reading the exchange between you and the other person, that is how I took it.
All these actors have had such interesting lives! I find it fascinating, and when I go back and watch any Trek, I am able to see them differently, they have more depth. I love Shuttlepod Show! Thank you 😊!
Thank you Reflexxuns!
I saw Gates and Patrick in a show together in LA while Next Generation was on. I can't recall the name of it at the moment, but they were both wonderful in it. I also recall our Ford Tempo broke down in traffic on the way home. That wasn't wonderful, but as horrible as that was, I am still glad I went.
I think it was called (So Many People Have Heads.) or something to that effect. It was over 30 years ago, lol!
I'm glad Dr. Crusher is getting more of the spotlight on Picard
I love Gates! She is so talented and has such an incredible history in the arts and with teaching, plus she is so smart, funny, caring, and easy on the eyes.
How strange is it that I felt this huge connection to the fact that my back yard ran up to the school where I went to Kindergarden? Why is walking to school so unusual now? Loved this!!!
Took me forever to figure out why Gates McFadden was so alluring to me. While the character portrayed by Marina Sirtis was not, even though the writers had her fill that role. Gates McFadden is a dancer. That poise, movement, and confidence comes through without saying a word. IMHO & YMMV. Multiple superlative praises to you Miss McFadden. Thank you.
Thanks for a fun episode! Gates is ever charming and delightful.
These Shuttlepot interviews of ST actors and producers are making my Sunday afternoon something to wait for. Loved it. ❤
I'm thrilled you're making these. It almost keeps me in the ST world
I enjoy how this show invariably focuses on the craft of acting.
Gates is my Grandma's cousin (not sure what that would make her in accordance to our relationship) and I met her a few years ago. She is so lovely and I find it so cool that she's a mildly famous person.
The wonderful thing about young people being inspired to become a doctor because of Dr. Crusher is that she had very high integrity as a doctor so she was inspiring that in them as well. We need all of that we can get in this world.
I'm really sorry to hear Gates' is going through a two+ year remodel. That's got to be frustrating. I'm a tileman (37 years) and I get bothered to hear such things. If she lived near Burbank I'd offer to help.
What a fascinating interview, so interesting. Can these shows be 3-4 hours long. So much to talk about. Love it!!!
Thank you for being you Gates. This was riveting. And I feel like there was still so much more to learn. Hope to see more of you on these pods. Or Heaven forbid in a legacy production 🙏🏻
Love the podcast 'InvestiGates'
Wow! Thanks for having Gates on! Picard Season 3 is AMAZING!
Wow. Gates is so much fun. Worldly wise and spitting facts. Not too much Trek talk here, and it was refreshing to hear about her life, career and aspirations. Thank you for this gift.
I met Gates in Montreal years before Picard and asked her if she would ever do anything Star Trek again and she said something like only from the retirement home. Lol
A truly beautiful women.
"Life is complicated." Forever true for every persona, both on and off screen.
They just sit around and shoot the shit: I love it. Very casual and fun and light hearted, but also in depth and personal.
Wonderful way to get to know the Trek stars!
Truly an amazing episode with the one and only Dr. Crusher. So cool you added my name to the closing credits - I really feel a part of this show. I love everything that you guys are doing!
Thank you Kevin! You are a part of this show! We are grateful to have you!
She’s so down to earth
Delightful conversation as always, and wonderfully produced. Thanks @The Shuttlepod Show !
Thank you, Mohamed!
Happy Birthday, Connor!!!! You are an awesome actor!
Dead Can Dance and Rammstein? I knew there was a reason I loved this woman. Best episode of TNG with her was when Beverly was trapped in the collapsing warp bubble. She didn't get enough quality screen time.
I've only known Gates from her work on Star Trek. She's so much more than that! Thanks for another great interview, and for opening up a whole new aspect of Trek fandom to me. All these podcasts are so great. LLAP!
BTW, I've been listening to InvestiGates, and I got to her conversations with Wil Wheaton. OMG! She's so good! Seriously, good stuff there.
The Enemy, Remember Me, High Ground, The Host, Sub Rosa, Cause And Effect, Suspicions, Descent, Ethics, All Good Things Part 2. Those are 10 episodes in which she was the focus and there are probably more that I just can't remember at the moment.
Fabulous interview Shuttlepod Show!! Gates is so lovely and interesting
Dominic, Connor, Gates--What I love the most about your podcast is the opportunity it provides me to see who you all are as people, which in turn gives me a calibration on how you're different from your characters; plus it reveals what died-in-the-wool artsies you all (of course) are, which is important to me since I'm one too (composer/arranger). Actors are a world unto themselves, but I like to think of us musicians as their 'kissing cousins.' Wonderful show again this week, everyone! Love you all (Erica and Mark too)--Don
YAY!!!! This is my first "new" episode since subbing and randomly playing the highlight episodes that have the most trek-ness to the interviews hahaha.
Love the Armin episode!!!
Welcome back!
Absolutely thrilling! Thank you all for putting this tremendous show together.
Thank you!
This was wonderful, as all of these pod casts are. Such great guests. I love ALL Trek and I love that Shuttle pod Show has guests from all of the Trek world. Love you all, thank you for this show!! Gates is so interesting.
That's wonderful, Andrea! Thank you.
A great episode! Always wonderful to see Gates!
OMG, Erica is so cute! 😆 She stole my heart! 💝 This is my very first Shuttlepod video, but gonna definitely come back for more, guys! Gates(Cheryl) looks stunning too! 😊
I am loving the conversations on this show. You come for Star Trek and you get talks about acting methods and styles from all these amazing performers. Unreal!!!!
Best thing ever was Gates coming back. As good as an actress Diana Muldaur is, she just didn't 'fit'. The number of people angry over Gates departure had to be in the hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately, they totally mis-cast her to be a "Bone's" like person, and it turned off so many people.
Gates, be proud of that Season 3 of Picard. WOW. The entire family back together again. We all wish Will Weaton would have joined in as well, and many of us understand why he didn't, but it would have been just amazing.
Wow, y’all are so funny. There’s so much about Gates I didn’t know that she was nice enough to tell us about too. Thank you!
TNG is "my" Star Trek so I couldn't wait to get into this one.
Another fun episode! - Cheers.
Beautiful interview for a great and talented actor.
What a classy lady! Love seeing her open up and giving us a chance to learn about her! Glad we got to see Dr Crusher get the screen time she deserves!
Definately one of my favourite characters and Star Trek actors of all time whose podcast I've also been enjoying since launch. Fantastic episode as usual! Thanks for these sincerely!
I really love hearing Dominic Keating talk over people for an hour.
T-shirt.
Yeah ... dial it back a bit, Stinky (he REALLY does the sound of is own voice 🙄)
…. But he has really improved since this episode 👍🏼
@@Rufudufus Agreed!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for everyone of these wonderful gems! This podcast always makes my day! Such a privilege to hear from every one of these incredible guests! For a massive lifelong Star Trek fan like me and others around the globe you really are spoiling us! Thank you so much and keep up the incredible good work every one of you! Definitely one of my favourite podcasts ever! Thank you! Lisa, Scotland 😁👌🙏❤️
She's simply delightful
I sooooo love her! She is so bright, more beautiful today than on Next Gen! Gates is so well rounded! Love her bad!
I hope more and more fans get to know this show cause its done with such love for Star Trek. No superficial fluff or gimmicks, just people having a conversation and seeing these actors in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a real pleasure to watch these discussions and appreciate all the effort of those behind the scenes for arranging these meet ups and putting this together.
I also hope we get to see Scott on here, that would be a blast, as well as Frakes and Sir Patrick of course...in fact come to think of it I can't think of any Trek Alumni I wouldn't want to see
Another wonderful Sunday afternoon/evening overdosing on 'Trek'. Gates was magically wonderful-- as always. Thanks so much for the show.
It is a joy to watch this podcast. This was another great show!
Ms. McFadden was another interesting guest with a fantastic life experience.
FABULOUS
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ShuttlepodShow Thank you for always taking the time to acknowledge your fans. 🖖🏾🖖🏾🖖🏾🖖🏾🖖🏾
I am looking forward to future shows
Another wonderful episode. Listening to these people for the first time has been lovely and eye opening. Such fascinating lives, I could listen all day.
absolutely wonderful! I've listened to Gates' podcast, "InvestiGates," and couldn't get enough. It was fun to see the tables turned and hear her talk about herself. What an incredible interview C and D - love this show and love the connection to Star Trek and I very much appreciate the honesty your guests have brought to the room. Keep it up - please!!
Thank you guys for doing all this :) the love is loved!!!
You guys really hit on something wonderful with this format. Another wonderful show, thanks.
love the show ❤❤
been a trekkie since the original ( i'm 61) and loved your show was heartbroken you were taken off after 4 yrs
so happy your here
I started watching The Shuttlepod Show about 2 months ago, I love it!!!! THANKS Conner and Dominic.!
This is the best interview of Gates anywhere on the internet, possibly ever (though I would have to defer to Gates on the ever part). Far better than you get at cons where short answers are expected given the long queue of people waiting to ask their questions. Far more personal than cons where I imagine it would be hard to speak candidly in a large room full of people where you might be expected to keep the mood light. Far more structured with a clear line of narration which may be indicative of some professional preparation on discussion topics to touch upon with Gates. I feel like she also put in the time to prepare informative and unique anecdotes on these topics for this 1.5 hr interview. She never pauses (as you might in real life) to think about how to prepare her answer or remember something about her past or fill the time. Connor and Dominic have done their research but also ask questions naturally as if hearing her for the first time. I like that they are collegial and genuinely interested as fellow actors. So respectful to Gates. The overall quality and professionalism really shows. Kudos to Mark, Gates, Dominic, Connor, and the team for understanding so well what the fans actually want. 😁
Wow - I think I need to learn more about the arts from this episode. I feel like a 3rd grader in a world of college graduates. Thanks for this eye-opening episode!
This show is EXCELLENT!
I have been banking this episode for a quiet time. Wow! Sooooo good. What an incredible story. And I love the story about TNG casting. Thank You!!!!
the 1st run of TNG was on the Swiss German TV station. TOS was on the French speaking one and ds9 or voy was on the Italian station. Thanks TNG for my passing my German high school exam!
Guys you just keep getting better and better
As lovely as I imagined. No disappointment. Great Interview!
Crapping on what? The Enterprise D? Did we miss something?
Smart, witty and straight forward are just a few words that to me describes Gates. Another brilliant episode, great questions and above all FUN. Thank you 😊 again and keep these episodes coming. 🍷🍷Ed from South Australia
Good job guys. This was a good interview, she was comfy which is awesome. A true artist.
I adore Gates .... she's genuinely lovely.
Love Gates, great episode. Thanks again for all the work doing these pods!
I love her more than ever after this podcast ❤️ Can't wait for the Convention in Vegas!
