How much feedback did you get from the actors about having to learn technobabble?

The only feedback you get is that there�s too much of it. It�s really hard for them to memorise this stuff especially because so much of it is made up science and uses words that don�t even exist until we�ve invented them.

It�s not really like learning police jargon or cowboy jargon or whatever, which you can study and get familiar with. With us, god knows what I�m going to come up with next week, the tachyon framastat particles, that the actor then has to say and make into an English sentence.

The actors would get frustrated at how much technobabble there would be. Especially poor guys like LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner who, because of their roles in the show, would end up carrying a great deal of technobabble. Whereas somebody like Michael Dorn really wouldn�t get that much of it because it wasn�t so much his character.
