Interviews | Kate Mulgrew
Technobabble


What did you think of all the scientific dialogue? Patrick Stewart wrote it on his fingers.

Picture Now you�re going to get a little display of arrogance: I never did that! The technobabble was overwhelming.

It�s as if you gave me three pages of Japanese and said, �You�ve got till tomorrow.� Thank God I�m a quick study, with very strong retentive powers. It was absolute b.s. I mean I was simply acting in the beginning. Who could understand that terminology? I was at sea, but I punched through, imagining that I was speaking a foreign language.

Over time, curiously, and wonderfully, I understood it, and I understood so well that I found myself just sort of spieling it in a very cavalier fashion, and now I can explain any term you like. That�s the wonderful thing about it. I learned a lot about science.
