At a press round table discussing the premiere of the fourth season of his hit series The 4400, former Star Trek Deep Space Nine producer Ira Steven Behr also talked about the past and future of the Trek franchise.
"For one bright shining moment I thought there was a Camelot." he said "For Deep Space Nine they let us really mess around with the formula quite a bit and maybe that was bad or good I don't know. ...I still remember the day (and I loved Michael Piller) but the craziest thing he ever said to me is when he came into my office and said "listen Ira you are doing a great job on Deep Space Nine, but you just have to realize that Voyager is coming out and it is going to be the tentpole for the franchise and you will always be in the shadow of Voyager because that is the real Star Trek." But I can point to the moment when they put the Maquis into the Starfleet uniforms, that was the beginning of the retreat."
"Since then it has always been trying to regain the past and that is the only thing I can say about the movie. It's the safe thing, it could be a huge hit, it could be the greatest thing of all time, but the fact that they had to go backwards into the future...the Marshal McLuahan thing where ‘we march backwards into the future' when he was talking about the media, well that is a perfect example of it by having to go back to Kirk and Spock. But I wish em luck because what ever is good for Star Trek will sell Deep Space Nine DVDs."
