I think the best behind the scenes thing about 7 and Janeway is that for years afterwords Mulgrew and Ryan wouldn't even appear at conventions together until Garrett Wang broke down on stage once with Ryan and started crying explaining how much it hurt him that two women he respected and loved so much wouldn't even speak to each other because of a obvious misunderstand created by the producers. After which Kate and Jeri had a heart to heart and cleared the air and Kate apologized and have spoken about it at a number of conventions how the Executives created the rift and it damaged both their professional and personal lives.

One of my favorite Tribble tidbits involved gaining permission to make the critters. The Tribbles stuck out to one of the copyright checkers and they sought to figure out where the writer came up with them, as it seemed the checker had encountered them before. It was soon determined that the Tribbles were very similar to critters called Flat Cats found in Robert Heinlein's book The Rolling Stones. When contacted for permission to use the Tribbles, Heinlein asked only for a signed copy of the script. He said he was flattered that his creation would find new life on Star Trek, and noted that he had drawn inspiration from an earlier work called Pigs Is Pigs by Ellis Parker Butler.

I asked David Gerrold well after the episode if he'd heard of flat cats at the time of writing. I'd known of them myself from Heinlein's story.

He politely replied that he had not known of them at the time of writing that script.

It was a poor set of reasoning for adding the character, but honestly I wouldn't want a Star Trek without Seven in it. The way her character developed has added so much in spite of the production reasons for bringing her in. A lot of that is down to (I think) many of the writers taking the character development seriously, and Ryan's acting in the role and how she played the slow change in her character's personality as her humanity took hold and she discovered her individuality, leaving more and more of the Borg identity behind her. Seven is a gem!

NBC insisted Plato's Stepchildren be filmed with two versions - onee in which Kirk and Uhura kiss and one in which they don't. They filmed the kiss, then Shatner and Nichols intentionally flubbed every take of the non-kiss version so they had to use the kiss one.

I didn't want to pick nits (that is what us Trekkies do best, though), but these little production errors on videos like this drive me insane so I'll piggyback on your nitpicking. I also noted that she says "Kea-TUN" instead of "Kea-TING" , and then proceeds to say both "Domi-NICK" and "Domi-NIQUE" interchanged during the Shuttlepod One rundown. It almost feels like Brie loaded her voice into a text-to-speech program and let it run. The pauses and intended punctuation are off at times. I know they edit out "dead air" and extended, natural punctuation pauses to keep the video within an intended amount of time (I call it the Charlie Brown editing technique, just listen to some of that CBXmas dialogue, you can tell it was cobbled together and hacked up to fit the character mouths) but this is just poorly proofed before being published. I get it, it's a free video for me to watch while I'm taking a break from some random task during my day, but they really need to screen these things before you hit the "post" button.

Bride Of Chaotica was one of the best and funniest of Voyager, and a top 10 Hijinks episode, but it only happened because the bridge set caught fire and was too damaged during a photo shoot, they needed some time to fix it so BoC was the solution

That first scene is really impressive as well because they built engineering just for it so would actually exist in the show. They weren't previously going to build it.

Spock's death was a real tearjerker for me. It was nice hearing the behind the scene information where the people there were also touched by the scene. It was wonderful to hear Mr. Nimoy had a good experience on the filming and wanted to return.

One of Geneviève Bujold's earliest roles was in the early 60s as Julie Fourchu in the series Les Belles Histoires des Pays d'en Haut written by Claude-Henri Grignon. She played one of the 13 children of Basile and Scholastique (La Scole) Fourchu. The series was set in the small village of Sainte-Adèle, Quebec in the 1880s.

Don't forget Patrick Stewart was convinced TNG would sink and be cancelled so he never unpacked his bags properly for the first six weeks of his contract

First time I experienced star trek was 4 years ago when I was 15 seeing Next Generation. My dad was introduced to star trek at the same age and with next gen as well!

Having seen the Bujold-Janeway scenes, I'm glad she stepped down, her performance was "stiff", like she was trying to out-do Picard or something, and as for the tensions betwen Ryan and Mulgrew, I can see why the latter took offense to her being added to the series, I was at the age where, y'know, women were becoming "very noticeable" when they added her, so there was a lot of "phwoarr, look at that!!!" from those of us into Voyager at the time, but overall I was still into the show cos it was Star Trek, which I loved and still do...

Actually, the 1st gay kiss on television was in a movie called "That Certain Summer" which was broadcast in 1972. It even featured an apology at the beginning for the content they were about to show.

My late wife looked exactly like Kate Mulgrew from ST:V. Kate was in her early 40's when she shot the show and my wife was in her early 40's when she passed.

"Devil in the Dark" During filming, Shatner's father passed away. Shatner was away when filming the scene where Spock does the mindmeld with the Mother Horta. When Shatner returned, they filmes Kirk's response. Shatner asked Nimoy to redo the lines, to which Nimoy carefully says.. I was like this and said, "Pain,... pain...." Shatner asks him to say the lones EXACTLY the way he said it... Nimoy reluctantly does so, cries out "PAIN... PAIN.." Shatner promptly says: "Quick, get this Vulcan an aspirine!!!"

He also demanded that Kate Mulgrew pad her bra, which she protested and won out on. Then on DS9 there were a number of issues with how he treated Terry Farrell. He would also comment on her bra size and suggest padding. She wanted for her own reasons to have less time on the show and he basically gave here an ultimatum to do what he wanted or leave. Seems like if you ask any of the women and even some of the men about him they all have a story about what a controlling and often sketchy guy he is.

These behind-the-scenes tidbits are great. They didn't recreate the prop Data, but found him, after they'd sold him & asked to use it again? Apparently, something similar happened during production of TNG's episode Relics when James Doohan guest stared. The production was able to burrow the tactical / Sulu scope that rises out of the helm console from the Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour-- formerly known as fan production Star Trek: New Voyages, out of Ticonderoga, NY. I was told it was a fragile piece & some special handling was involved, to get it to California. Apparently Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour received a GNDN relay from the DS9 Trials and Tribble-ations episode, which they use in the tour, even though it's not to scale. Also during Relics, Ronald D. Moore stated during an interview or online chat they recreated the TOS bridge without consulting Supervising Producer Bob Justman. Justman, being a Producer on TOS was later shown the recreated bridge set & said something like, "it looks great, except you got the carpet color wrong." Moore was like "Of course, why didn't we ask you about this whole project in the first place!" Justman said the lights & filters used in the 1960s were different, even so he gave his personal endorsement to the recreated set!

Louise Fletcher was also in the movie High School High with Jon Lovitz. It was dumb goofy movie but hilarious and Fletcher was wonderful in it but I'm shocked she would make a movie like that.

While I cannot agree with some of his actions & things he’s said over the past 10 years or so, as a fellow tinnitus sufferer I definitely feel for Mr. Shatner & am truly grateful for all he has done for this cause. I first developed mine due to a medication I was having to take at the time - it is a very rare complication though and we had hoped that once I cycled off the medication it would disappear. Sadly, this was not the case - and I can empathize with his feelings of “losing his mind” in the early stages as that’s exactly how I felt as well. It’s basically like having the sound of a hundred thousand mosquitoes being blared at full volume into your head. You can’t think, sleep or even converse with others around you when it’s really bad…all you can hear is the constant, non-stop noise & it truly does make you feel as though you’re going mad.

At the time of a new Star Trek show was being announced to be in the works (Star Trek: The Next Generation), there wasn't much more known about it at the time. I was more worried that they were going to recast the original crew. When I found out more about the show, such as it being set 80 years in the future, which would allow them to showcase new technology (as in being able to use better SFX than was available in the '60s) and move events forward, I really looked forward to it (Disco went hard in the first two seasons into what I feared what was going to happen with TNG, had it been set in the 23rd Century, rather than the 24th Century).

This was truly awesome. A lot of this stuff was really new to me. I feel for Shatner, this is bad.

From what I understand, TOS episode The Enterprise Incident was to include a Romulan capital ship that was akin to the design of the bird of prey used in Balance of Terror (and somewhat close to the Warbird in TNG) unfortunately tragedy struck and the model was damaged beyond repair in time for airing nor budget to reproduce. So instead they used the already made Kilingon vessel and scripted lines as to why the Romulans had them too. (Which later became trek lore as to how the Klingons also had cloaking technology in Star Trek III as the Bird of prey there was originally scripted to have Romulans instead)

I'm in the Arena where Kirk and the Gorn had their fight! AAHHH!

About the Wraith of Kahn: Rumors circulated before the film premiered that Spock would die at the beginning. So when the Kobiyashi concludes and Spock speaks up, Kirk looks over at him and says, "Youre supposed to be dead" It was an inside joke that the crowd in the theater found funny. It has sense been lost to time, but pepperidge farm remembers! lol

My boyfriend has had sexual dysmorphia since he was 4 years old. It was sad that his father didn't know how to deal with his "problems". I do my best. I recall that 'Congeniter' was a somewhat related story to this one. 'Fusions and 'Stigma' dealt with a Vulcan mind-raping Cdr. T'Pol and giving her a fatal disease called Pa'nar Syndrome. T'Pau eventually healed her. It was really about AIDS. There were few stories about disabled persons in "Star Trek" though 'Louder Than A Whisper' was shown and Dr. Erickson in an episode on "Enterprise" was seen in a wheelchair. If T'Pol and Trip's baby had survived in a future season and had still had disabilities due to Paxton's cloning her, I'm sure T'Pol would have done everything she could to help baby Elizabeth. Maybe Dr. Phlox could have healed her on the ship.

Side note: back in the late 1960's had a great extremely intelligent electronic shop teacher. He already had a math & electronic degree and was working in two more. The only show he watched on TV was Star track. He told our class that the little communicators that were on the show will be us using portable devices to speak to people anywhere on earth. After getting out of the navy he made big bucks working for RCA on nuclear submarines but told me he rather teach the next generation. Only went back to that school a few times to visit him. Wish I would have stayed in touch with him.

If I bought Data's head I would not keep it in a crate in storage. Also I would love to see a video of things more impressive when you know the truth but with in the show's narrative. A video that would look at things like How hard or easy is it to build a weapon from just minerals scattered on a planet or how much food is needed to bread the number of Tribbles we see in the episode etc

Great video brie I love star trek live long and prosper ✨️ respect 🙏

I don't know if this reaches scale of more impressive but City on the edge of forever the script called for runes surrounding the guardian. Somehow the set folks or someone misread it as ruins. One must assume that time and budget did not allow a redo of the set, so we got the ruins. I actually think the mistake made for a better set than what was written.

A special mention should go to all the actors and stuntpeople over the years that have endured horrendous wire-pulls in the name of "unexpected explosions".

Awesome trivia. These were all mostly new to me except for one.

Kate Mulgrew as Minuet on the holodeck... wowzers!

Wow, I'm old and it's nice to hear the backstory on spokespeople. I'm sure so many used the product for a week just to not feel guilty. 10:55 I wasn't a big DS-9 fan, but that's funny. OMG Picard with hair.

I never knew Patrick Stewart sported a Tribble at any stage.

You may have forgotten to mention, but showed how the Tribbles let everyone see Scott'ys missing finger. I just found your channel and I am glad I did. This the first video of yours I have seen. I am a Trekie from way back. I am very glad you did not mention anything, besides Picard, from Star Trek XI and beyond. IMHO, most of this (much like Star Wars VII - IX) should be ignored.

If you want firsts in English speaking TV have a look at Number 96! Australian soap series from the early 1970's.

Great, never knew about Williams hearing problems.

14:16 Picard's toupet. A classic.

1:22 "No guest stars" Cut to Dean Stockwell

Early Star Trek was before CGI and used mainly practical effects. That is much more impressive than writing computer code.

I did not know shatner had tinnitus, or that he got it from filming an episode of TOS.

I must comment on the Gorn's costume. An orange, gold and green halter mini dress and debutant length red gloves. Is anyone else go crazy over this? I love it.

Tinnitus does suck big time. It's hard to go to sleep some nights because of mine. So yeah shantner suffered for his art on that one

you never expect EastEnders to turn up on these videos, but im pretty sure they just repeated that kiss in the episode, today (as in when this video came out).

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated yeah that doesnt shock me. However I should point out that the first kiss was Colin and Gudio. It was Colin and Barry in tonights episode.

The final scene of Voyager! The most impressive and emotional final scene in Trek history.

That was some very cool info.

This was very entertaining and informative. I am a big "Treckie". I have a Tribble on my desk!

She didn't include other actors to try out for the role of Janeway, including Susan Gibney whom we know as Leah Brahams. Gibney was closest to getting the role before Mulgrew got it. She was considered "too young" for the role even though she's only 6 years younger than Mulgrew. I would have liked to see that Voyager if she got the role.

The first gay kiss on British TV was something I didn't know. The timing is really interesting, and kind of a big stand by Eastenders. It's not surprising MP's tried to have it taken off of air! In 1988 a law was passed and it contained something called section 28. For those who don't know it prohibited schools or local authorities from publishing any material that promoted homosexuality. So to put it on prime time TV, in the countries biggest soap opera just a year later was not an accident and pretty ballsy move. Kudos Eastenders!

Well that fully confirms I'm a total nerd. With regards to 7 of 9 being introduced to "sex things up", I totally didn't pick up on that at all. I was nerding out so hard that they not only brought The Borg into Voyager (the show), but also had one living *on the ship* that this blew right over my head. I guess it makes sense in hindsight, but the fact that I completely missed that at the time is a little embarrassing. 🤓

7:12 - False. Spock’s return from death was imagined only after fans insisted they bring Nimoy back. He did not want to return for Star Trek II UNLESS it was to kill the Spock character. Then, well later, with the public outcry and considerable additional compensation, Nimoy returned for subsequent STAR TREK films.

Incorrect. He only agreed to return if they killed him off, but Nimoy has noted on multiple occasions that he changed his mind once they started filming, and they began having conversations about how to keep the character alive before filming was completed. Yes, fans did find out about his death in The script, after Roddenberry leaked the original script. But the outcry from the fans had nothing to do with the decision to keep him alive. That doesn't even make sense. Like, if he really didn't want to continue in the role, what would any of the fan outcry have mattered? If you didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have done it.

The wording re Shatner's tinnitus made me go and check that he was still alive. As of Feb 22, 2023, he is.
