Interviews | Robert Duncan McNeill
Old Technology


Which of the science aspects of Star Trek do you find most intriguing?

Picture I think the holodeck is interesting to me, although not the most interesting. I think the most interesting, honestly, is warp-drive, the idea that we could travel that far.

I mean, I know it�s an old premise in Star Trek legacy, but to me, if we could just travel with warp drive in real life, the way that we show it on the TV show, it would just change everything we think about space, just bring it all together. That would be unbelievable.

And then all these other questions about intelligent life or, the solar system - I think then we could deal with those things. Warp drive, to me, is just fabulous. Because what we have right now is basically old, very old technology, rocket propelled technology, so we�ll never get past our own little solar system here, unless we can change that.
