So she gave Rick Berman, who was the keeper of the keys at that time, keeper of the franchise, free reign you know you hire who you want to do your job so I was I was in a pretty good place with Rick by this point and we got approval from Patrick obviously had director approval and that was that worked out quite well because he and I have been friends for you know 35 years now and again the first one was First Contact which was arguably the best of all the Star Treks it was Brandon and Ron it was the Borg and It had incredible guest stars with Alfre Woodard and Jamie Cromwell just coming off The Babe and Alice Krieger as the Borg Queen.

Alfre WoodardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I remember picking up the script, and, you know, like within those first three pages when that whole thing with his eye happened, and it was so well written that I got that, because I don't really get a lot.

It looked relatively easy, but then once you actually have to say the dialogue and the techno babble, that's when you have to take your hats off to these cast members, because it's a lot of jargon.
Nischelle TurnerHOST
And Alfre Woodard proudly showed off her galactic battle scars on the 1996 set of Star Trek First Contact.
