Did you have any sense, when you began, of the legacy of Star Trek?

Well, I knew that the franchise had been around for over thirty years, at that point, and I don�t think there�s anybody born in the latter half of the 20th century who�s not familiar, at least, with Star Trek. And it�s really become part of our culture, part of our pop culture, certainly. So, I was aware of it from that aspect.and I was certainly aware of how passionate the fan base is.

When I signed on, initially to do Voyager, Rick Berman, the creator the show said, �You�re getting on a moving freight train and you have no idea how fast it�s moving until you�re on.� That was certainly the most apt analogy that I�ve heard. I had no idea what I was getting into. It�s been a wild ride. It was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but it�s been a great deal of fun.
