To celebrate 25 years of Next Generation, Wired posted a new interview with TNG and DS9 star Michael Dorn and here is an excerpt.
Wired: The Next Generation’s philosophical sci-fi optimism is in short supply these days. Could we use more of it?
Dorn: We could definitely use more of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s optimism. It feels like we’ve gotten further and further away from that.
Wired: Do you think the show would have a chance of getting greenlit today?
Dorn: No, I don’t think Star Trek: The Next Generation could get greenlit in its original form. Sci-fi has taken on a different look these days. We don’t see the social messages that it was famous for. If you look at science fiction’s origins, there was always social commentary mixed in with its monsters and aliens. And we don’t see any of that these days.
Wired: So are we worse off for not having a Star Trek series on television these days?
Dorn: Of course we’re worse off by not having a Star Trek show on television. But only if it’s good. It would be nice if Star Trek could be a catalyst for change, along with being an entertaining show.
