Rene Auberjonois Says Deep Space Nine is Over

Features

By GustavoLeao / 20:02, 8 October 2007 / Deep Space Nine

The latest issue of SFX magazine, just out in the UK, features a brief interview with former Star Trek Deep Space Nine actor Rene Auberjonois, now a regular on Boston Legal. Here are a few excerpts.

Would you ever want to go back to the role of Odo ?

I think it's over. One never says never, but I can't imagine it happening, so I don't really think about it. I'm a character actor and I played a lot of characters before I played Odo and I've played a lot of characters since I played Odo, so I just keep plying my wares.

Where do you think Odo would be now ?

He's in the goo. Whatever he's doing he's there, taking care of business with his people, trying to get them to not be so paranoid.

Would any of Odo's skills have helped you in real life ?

In a sense I have some of them because I'm a character actor !

First Contact was definitely the best of all the TNG films, but it has so many issues, not the least of which was the irreparable damage to the Borg mythology. Part of what made the Borg so scary was their ability to sit and wait things out. They have nearly limitless resources, and can cause immense damage with ONE SHIP. Did they really need to go back in time? Why not have a film about Picard struggling to overcome the lingering presence of Locutus in his mind? The film would not have had to be battles non stop. Why would the Borg go back in time? Why do they need a Queen? Why was the Queen just a petty brat? Would one orgasm really make Data betray everyone he's loved?

Most people never saw FC - either because they don't like Trek or because they don't like zombie movies. FC appeals to people with a certain mindset and its not necessarely the same people who liked the TNG series. The TNG series had more universal appeal and created the modern Trek era and aura, but all subsequent shows/movies has sliced that audience. I like Nemesis better than FC though I can't say I really like any of the movies...
