Maureen Ryan over at The Watcher spoke to Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore for an hour this week, and has posted short pieces of her interview - including an excerpt in which Moore talks about his visit to the set of the Star Trek movie and his opinion on the current state of the Star Trek franchise.
Here are the excerpts regarding Star Trek from the upcoming interview.
MR: I saw a trailer for the new "Star Trek" film over the holidays and I got excited, just because it was a little glimpse of "Trek" and I realized we hadn't had anything from that realm in so long. Do you have any feelings about the new feature film? Will you go see it?
Ronald D. Moore: "Oh, I'll see it. I actually got to go down to visit the set. I actually wangled a set visit that I can say nothing about, other than that I was very excited. It was really a treat for me personally. I was very grateful to J.J. [Abrams] and Damon [Lindelof] for making that happen. I saw the sets and thought the production design was just great. I just really liked the visual of it. And the vibe on the set was incredibly positive and very up. People were feeling good and confident and happy. It was really great for me. It was great to be back at Paramount and to walk into a stage where there was a Federation starship."
MR: Did you think Paramount did the right thing by going outside the "Trek" family, so to speak, for this film?
RDM: "Absolutely. I think that was a very smart decision. God love all of us that did all the series and the movies during those years, but that's a long time. There were a lot of tired people. A lot of tired blood. And it's time to bring in fresh eyes to it all.
"I think it's akin to when they brought in Harve Bennett to [write the second ‘Star Trek' movie,] ‘The Wrath of Khan.' [Creator] Gene [Roddenberry] had lived and breathed ‘Trek' for a long time. He did [‘Star Trek:] The Motion Picture,' and ‘The Motion Picture' is what it is - I certainly went to see it and loved it at the moment, but it was bloated and [had] overruns and there a sense of it not really finding its feet yet.
"Then they brought in [writer] Harve Bennett, who had no connection to the show, and [director Nicholas] Meyer, who had never seen the show, and they reinvented it. They started over. They went at the costumes differently, the storytelling, the vibe of it, the style of story that they were going to do. They rescued the whole franchise. ‘Wrath of Khan' makes all the subsequent ‘Star Trek' projects possible.
"And I think that's where they are with the franchise now. They've brought in someone new, someone with no connection to the what's come before, who cares about it and says, ‘Wipe the slate, let's make this version.'"

Quote from Ronald D. Moore:

Ah yes, Khan's wrath: "He tasks me -- and I'll have him. I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia, and round the Antares maelstrom, and round Perdition's flames before I give him up."
How about round Saturn's rings -- aren't they good for a chase? ...
Carolyn Porco will be presenting the Saturn images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft April 28 at the University Memorial Center at the University of Colorado. For more information, see 'At Saturn: Tripping the Flight Fantastic'.
It's all about the details for television and movie producer extraordinaire J.J. Abrams.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
