Gene's Ideas, about
The Future, and about Man,
are wacky-doodle.
Frakes/Cmdr. Will Riker :
RED Alert, SHIELDS-up!
David Gerrold :
He was a flawed man.
He had great virtues,
he had great flaws.
John Pike :
I thought Gene was going to come
across The Table at me.
I saw first-hand Gene's battling
with The Studio.
with The Studio.
Rick Berman :
Gene was considered somewhat
of a pain in the neck, he was
kind of a blustery guy.
D.C. Fontana :
Gene wasn't the easiest person
to get along with but he stuck up
for his beliefs and his concepts.
It was just a lot of in-fighting --
it was all chaos.
Ira Steven Behr:
There was really scary stuff going on --
There's A Lawyer going around,
There's A Lawyer going around,
looking in people's desks
when they're not there.
Brannon Braga :
I spent the first couple of years
just worried I was going to be fired.
Sir Patrick Stewart :
My Agent was the first person to Talk to us --
He said, "There wasn't a Hope in Hell
that this show would even make it
through The First Season.
He said, "There wasn't a Hope in Hell
that this show would even make it
through The First Season.
SHATNER :
This film is about the turbulent years
that marked The Beginning of
Star Trek: The Next Generation —
How it got off the ground
and survived the chaos
of the first three years.
I became fascinated
with The Struggle, not only
the creative struggle, but
The Struggle for Power.
Those doors are opening up
on Stage 6 where The Bridge
for The Next Generation
was first constructed.
Power is an Ephemeral;
it's What is Perceived.
In order for Power to exist it has to
be acknowledged by the people
who are involved in The Work.
What I Began to See was Gene Roddenberry,
The Creator of Star Trek, aging
and in diminishing Health
trying desperately to
hold on to His Creative Vision,
His Legacy, and ultimately
His Power.
