Ultimately, I don't like the Star Trek movies - with the exception of ST IV, because it was brilliantly funny. IMO, in the effort to compete with Star Wars, they are dumbed down compared to the Original Series. Even the physics in space is depicted more accurately in the old series. And the pseudo-Star Wars music in particular is awful and cheesy, compared to Alexander Courage's score.

Probably one of the best sit down interviews I've ever watched. The interaction between the actors was priceless. Whoopie was for sure outnumbered, and didn't get to say as much as I would have liked to have heard her say. The stories were so wonderful. Some of course we may have heard through the years, while others fresh and enjoyable. This sadly, will never happen again, due to the loss of Leonard Nemoy. But what a moment to cherish! Most of the convention interviews hash out the same stories that we have heard time and again. This was so different. It was personable, enjoyable, and so much laughter. As a fan, this was one of the best time well spent. Attention! Bridge on the Captain!

the amount of intelligence and the sheer class shown on stage is incredible. I think Leonard Nimoy and Bill Shatner were more responsible for the creation of the Star Trek Universe than those who followed and will always be my favorites. They did in the 1960's when Civil Unrest, the Cold War and many other themes could be transferred into a Science fiction show..which is very different than a well-acted shown many decades later. If they didn't create the Universe of human relationships in space and if it was about space travel only, the show would have never survived into the future.

Love when they gather all these great iconic actors together in real life. I'm an average fan, growing up in the late 60's and 70's, now a retired Veteran I've had the time to watch all the different series and movies beginning to end. I love the story lines but am more interested in the special affects and fictional engineering involved. My dad was a pretty well known mechanical engineer working for the govt. back in the day, for about 40 years. They actually used one of his hydraulic designs on the space shuttle landing gear. Now my dad loved engineering, math and science, but he was farthest from ever being considered a trekie or even remotely a fan of science fiction and every now and then I would hope that he would sit with me and watch episodes of star trek when I was growing up. He wasn't interested at all. Well when Wrath of Kahn came to a theater up the street from us, I convinced him to take me. During the ship battle scenes, I could see that he was amazed and interested in the amount of power and the engineering that may have been involved, not so much the destructive power, but more towards the shear size of the ships and of course to see something that incredible taking damage like that would make me a bit emotional as well. But yes, the Star Trek series did help give me one of the more memorable moments I had with my dad. It just felt good to see his reaction, knowing that he enjoyed the movie with me, even though his amazement was more on an engineering level. I could only imagine what was going thru his mind, trying to imagine how they would designed a ship that large and powerful. He also commented that now he could see my interest in those types of movies. We went bowling after that. :-) So now when I re-watch the old series, I always have that fond memory of my dad. Many thanks to all involved in the making of those great shows and movies. God bless all who have past and may they rest in peace.

While you dislike some because they are different, or they are not tight with “canon”, or they are shot differently (serial arc vs episodic, only 10 episodes, or are more direct with social issues and representation) doesn’t make them any less Trek, or non-canon, or less believable.

This was so amazing to watch. I felt like a kid again, like I was watching this on the Bridge Screen of the Enterprise.

[@jumpinjackflash9394]

Rest in Peace Leonard Nimoy. Live long and prosper 🖖

[@francoisgermain3991]

Will Shatner is funny as hell, whatever reputation he has.

[@gantzthegreat8998]

to baldly go....hilarious

[@lino222]

"bridge on the captain...! "

[@ji3194]

Leonard Nimoy is damn funny as well.

[@penoyer79]

the only bad opinions one every hears of shatner comes from Sulu and Doohan... and to a lesser extend Koenig and Nichols. Ive never heard an actor, director, producer outside of the co-stars on the original series ever utter a bad word about Shatner. makes you wonder.

[@Velldog]

@@penoyer79 He has such a repulsive personality and attitude though. That's proven in the many many many interviews and such he has done over the years. This would have been great if we lost Bill and had Delancie instead.

[@mattpastell3728]

I could watch these guys all day!

[@claudettejohnson7182]

They are so warm and friendly and full of fond memories.

[@christianbrown7438]

That did not feel like an hour and 10 minutes, brilliant, interesting and funny interview. Love Patrick, Jonathan and Leonard (RIP), Whoopi was asking some great questions and even Bill, who can sometimes come across a bit weird was funny as hell in this. Live long and prosper 🖖

[@kylebarton778]

I thought that Whoopie was worse than Bill. Bill was playing Bill.

[@jeffnarrow3059]

I've been a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek since I was little and the person who introduced me to science fiction specifically these two franchises was my dad ( may he rest in peace). I never got a chance to tell my dad thank you for introducing me to science fiction.

[@yadayada9581]

I easily could have watched another hour of this.

[@bullzdawguk]

This is a fantastic interview. All of them are relaxed, good-humoured and completely candid.

[@texpatrobertrice8309]

This was awesome. I never met these gentlemen in person. The only one i ever met was Walter Koenig at a StarCon in 1976. Both, my brother and I, had the opportunity to spend 2 hours with Mr. Koenig after the signing party. What a wonderful experience that was. We had gone with him, and his agent back to the hotel room, and talked about everything but Star Trek. I was 16 years old then. What a memory to have.

[@JnEricsonx]

I met George Takei about 15 years ago, met Nichelle Nichols last year.

[@-M0LE]

16 yr old in takeis room Hmm

[@raygoshay4096]

Deforest Kelley as Admiral McCoy appeared in the SNG pilot, "Encounter at Farpoint" - that made him the first person to be featured in two Star Trek series.

[@Paulafan5]

It became a tradition that someone from a previous series would be in the first episode of the new one. Picard in DS9. Quark in Voyager. For Enterprise they got Zephraim Cochrane.

[@markgowans]

@@Paulafan5 Q was also featured in TNG, DS9 and Voyager where I personally think he was overused. Thats why I dont want to see him in Picard like so many fans do.

[@craigclement8822]

James Doohan also made an appearance in TNG

[@1heKing]

too late ​@@markgowans

[@carson21211]

I love everyone on this panel unconditionally. Beautiful.

[@erich3784]

13:07 Nimoy is refering to 'Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952)', while Stewart is actually talking about 'Lifeforce (1985)', which was originally called 'The Space Vampires' (which is the name of the book) rather than 'Zombies from Outer Space' (although the movie does actually feature way more Zombies than Vampires -- amongst which the delightful Mathilda May).

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Oh my goodness for Star Trek fan as myself. Being alive for the very first episodes until now; this was a wonderful interview and experience. Thank you!!

[@RevanJJ]

10:30 “Leonard Nimoy- whoa whoa whoa. What do you mean you didn’t like science fiction?” That was epic. R.I.P.

[@josephyoung6749]

Star Trek is the only show on TV right now that consistently deals with important philosophical questions such as morality or the way that science and new technologies should play in our lives. This extends into and improves every aspect of our lives, from smart phones, to the civil rights movement. Star Trek has embodied fully all the technocentric enlightenment notions that make up the American constitution, and hence, stands as one of the most important cultural propositions of the democratic American experiment. Being set in a post-apocalyptic world, it even sets a standard to which to aspire in the face of titanic failure, great injustice, and the long term survival of the human species.

[@CarHerzO]

What a wonderfully charming lady, Whoopie is!! She leads the conversation and at the same time lets everyone speak their minds without interruptions. I love this. She's sure of herself without having to throw her weight around.

[@FoxyPercival714]

Shame now a days, Whoopie is now a liberal. She is an idiot for selling her soul to the democrats.

[@robertsleeth861]

FoxyPercival714- 100% correct. I was reluctant to watch this because I can't stand Whoopi on The View, but I thought she was great on here.

[@rockyalvarez520]

Only because they are all democrats lol

[@Pow3llMorgan]

@@FoxyPercival714 Or, you know, she is standing up for what she believes in. Unless you can show me a receipt of that soul transaction you're mentioning.

[@FoxyPercival714]

@Chris Terry At least Trumptards are better than libtarded SJWs.

[@andrewbell7579]

Absolutely brilliant interview, the camaraderie was very evident. It's very rare that I'll watch an interview like this from beginning to end, but this was captivating. Can't wait for the new Picard series. R.I.P Leonard Nimoy.

[@golach420]

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see them having a loose chat.

[@sathanas65]

This is one of the best things I have ever watched. Why did I not watch this till now?

[@aprilk141]

This makes me feel so good. Thank you for putting this up. I love every personality on this panel, their performances are important to my life, but especially, Goldberg, Nimoy, and Stewart.

[@luvbearbut]

This is Whoopie at her best. For whatever reason she seems to of become bitter and angry (maybe because of the venue she is a part of). Perhaps and hopefully her latest situation will enable her to step back and do some soul searching and come to terms with why she has seemingly (emphasis on seemingly) become so irritated and unhappy with people and life. Her smile is beautiful and I so want her to genuinely feel and want to express it more... Watching the video of The View when Patrick Stewart asks her to be in his latest show as Guinan again, her reaction is pure happy Whoopie.

[@Spartanm333]

And thanks for posting... enjoyed this over two sessions one morning, grew up with the original, loved the movies, re-discovered my enjoyment with TNG. Great to see them together enjoying these moments. RIP Lenny.

[@johnfenner5550]

In a perfect Trek movie, Kirk would be admiral, Spock would be ambassador, Picard as captain, and Riker as commander.

[@MiniLemmy]

Wonderful to see these legends together! Great interview! RIP Leanard

[@51rwyatt]

This is an incredible interview to watch, particularly if you are a Trek fan. The group is very funny, smart, introspective. Whoopi ran a great interview here.

nah it was Jar Jar Binks's, Gul Dukat's, Kai Winn's, and Borg's. 160 now

It was an army of clone troopers executing Order 66.

[@krioni86sa]

Star Wars is overrated

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

It was the Shadows and Vorlons, with the System Lords.

[@jazz21977]

Seriously underwhelmed by the speed of the Borg hive mind. 3 years and smallchange later... only 200 more.

[@Quicksilver1936]

Although these five people might play it off, they have no idea how much they inspired people and how they charted the course for the world. Aware of their roles or not, we should be grateful.

[@michaelcarley7016]

I had just finished a large project and was moving onto another city and all my staff was emotional, as we had grown close,, one asked what do we do now? I said Third Star to the right and on til morning, I received an email a few days later, by another manager, who said that was the best line for the moment and reassured everyone, even though, our team has dissolving. Glad that the new series is just as good.

[@SuperMattboxio]

[@katywaldrop5036]

Picard and Spock mind meld is one of the best star trek moments ever!

[@Maazzzo]

44:56 Leonard, you're so brilliant. What a wonderful reason to do that book.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

As a father of 2 daughters, I love that Mr. Nimoy did this book. I want my daughters to be good with who they are and not wanting to look like someone on Cosmopolitan or Glamour.

[@melissajane7785]

Star trek just always made, me feel young, the cast and crew of the enterprise, were and still are monumental figures to me, all I can say is Live long and prosper to them all

[@prisonjail3307]

That was very refreshing to watch :-). A relaxed atmosphere, enriched by 5 people so intense laughing, that they hardly can breathe. GREAT! Thx for sharing.

[@georgemorley1029]

29:11 “Bridge on the Captain”...I’m in stitches.
