John Billingsley Talks "Cold Station 12", STAR TREK's Future in New U.S. Dreamwatch

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 13:27, 12 October 2004 / Enterprise

Dreamwatch is launching a new U.S. edition of the popular U.K. magazine this month, and issue #1 includes interviews with STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's Jolene Blalock ('T'Pol') and John Billingsley ('Phlox'). The NX-01 doc interviews himself, in a manner of speaking, for a personal journal from behind the scenes of ENTERPRISE and Dreamwatch has provided TrekWeb with a few excerpts.

John writes about his views on the actor Richard Riehle, who plays Phlox's friend and medical colleague in the upcoming "Cold Station 12."

"Dr Lucas is played by Richard Riehle, whom I have known for over 20 years. He's a great guy. We've both been joking around about the homoerotic subtext of our characters' relationship."

Billingsley is decidedly matter of fact regarding the immediate future of STAR TREK on television.

"I think the general consensus is that this is the last year of the show unless we see some real growth in the ratings."

Despite the baggage, the ENTERPRISE cast still manages to have fun on the set.

"When all of us are in a scene together, but no one really has to say anything, or do any heavy emoting, it drives the crew crazy 'cuz we can't be serious and the day gets looonngger and looonnnngger."

You can read Billingsley's full diary article in issue #1 of Dreamwatch, available October 19th.

Yes, it seems that Billingsly has been designated the haute couture spokesperson for the group. Image

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701

Take everything Billingsley says with a huge block of salt. Remember the April Fool's video he did on the Star Trek web site? It was one of the most hilarious videos I ever saw, and totally devoid of any factual information.

This is Billingsley's personality (as anyone who saw "Out Of Time" with Denzel Washington can attest). Don't believe a word the man says.

But he's a good actor. :smile:
