Were you very impressed by the ideas like the transporter, warp speed, exciting stuff to work with?

Yeah, I guess, you know. I was mostly just pleased as punch to have a place to go every week and act and perform. I guess you�re an actor and you suspend disbelief and you accept as reality what is presented to you in the script. Okay, we transport: okay all our molecules disengage from themselves and then rearrange themselves later on, okay I buy that. Okay I can point this phaser at somebody and I can stun them or � or kill them. Okay, I believe that. You're an actor so you just go about believing it.
