Steven SchapanskyHOST
the tip of my tritanium tongue.
Steven SchapanskyHOST
Tetraburnium is actually the daughter of Rick Berman.
Steven SchapanskyHOST
It's not, uh, what do we got here? It's every, right, exactly.
Steven SchapanskyHOST
Scott is the only one with answers to that question, therefore has pulled ahead with Warp 5.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Who was the one that, not to slander anyone.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Rick Berman.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Oh, yeah, Berman was the prick, wasn't he? Yeah, not to slander
Eddie EdwardsHOST
anyone, but Rick Berman is a prick.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
Yeah.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
I will happily defend that in a courtroom.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Boy, the phone rang.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Rick Berman, top of Star Trek at the time, saw it, called them and said, quote, oh my God, what a great effect, end quote.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Now that's an effect that could cost thousands of dollars to do if you wanted it to say, this is what I want to do.
Mark O'NeillHOST
And we just done it with a little laser.
Pete the RetailerHOST
And so that led to some...
Pete the RetailerHOST
Then also, like, just the tone of it and the very kind of like, uh, the write- well, Tracy Torme, and then I think Rick Berman and a couple of other people were on one side that like, "No, let's make it more kind of like..." You guys, they're, they were like, "You guys saw Aliens, right? Wasn't that good?" [laughs]
Tom TaylorHOST
[laughs]
Pete the RetailerHOST
And then, uh, everybody else was just like, "Yeah, but it's not Star Trek." And then they, they had a little fight over that.
Mark O'NeillHOST
If you're Denise Crosby and...
Mark O'NeillHOST
I can't remember, but I feel like Denise Crosby falls into the annoyingly recurring category of a female cast member who basically took the job on Star Trek because she herself loves Star Trek and was so beaten down by Rick Berman's behaviour that she vowed to never, ever, ever even like the series again, which, from what I understand, is the experience of more than one person.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
Yeah.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
Because the thing is as well, Gates McFadden left as well.
Jacob HallHOST
We came up with the idea that O'Brien would be telling a bedtime story about a leprechaun.
Jacob HallHOST
We had the script written and called Rick Berman, the producer, and said, every Irish actor I know has worked his entire life to overcome the stereotype of Irish people and leprechauns.
Jacob HallHOST
It's really racist and I don't want to do it.
Jacob HallHOST
We had no idea there was any sensitivity to leprechauns in the Irish culture, and certainly we did not want to force Colomini to act with a leprechaun.
Jonathan FrakesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was a very conscious effort on our part to pair Patrick with an actress who was not 20 and it was his feeling as well.
Jonathan FrakesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What happened with Donna Murphy was Rick Berman and I had read probably 80 actresses and Donna came in and somehow Got it.
Jonathan FrakesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The character, as people will see, is very well centered and quiet, has a quiet strength, and is potentially, frankly, boring or too new-agey, if that's a phrase that you could use.
Jonathan FrakesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This actress happens to be sexy and suspicious and smart.
10 MINS LATER
Brent SpinerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I said, OK.
Brent SpinerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So a few weeks later, I get a script in the mail.
Brent SpinerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And on the script is a card that said Rick Berman on it.
Brent SpinerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it said, sorry, kill you next time.

Tawny NewsomeHOST
Directed by David Straiton, teleplay by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga.
Tawny NewsomeHOST
The original air date was October 16th, 2002.
Tawny NewsomeHOST
It's time to kick it to our segment Welcome to Rasmussen's, so Jesse can tell us what was going on around the time this episode was released.
52 MINS LATER
Andrew TiHOST
You cannot do this.
Jesse EarlPANELIST
And don't feel bad about this one either.
Jesse EarlPANELIST
Like, 'cause, like, this episode was written by Brannon Braga and Rick Berman.
Jesse EarlPANELIST
Brannon Braga, who I do like, was burnt out by this series.
Derek AdamsHOST
gets run over.
Derek AdamsHOST
Chris Berman, Rick Berman's evil twins.
Josh DarnellHOST
Chris Furman? Did I say Chris Furman?
Derek AdamsHOST
Sorry, it's almost football season, so NFL names are
Armin ShimermanGUEST
was the voice quality that I used on the first episode.
Armin ShimermanGUEST
And Rick Berman, bless his heart, called me into his office and said, lose the voice, lose the voice.
Armin ShimermanGUEST
And so the voice became mine just with the appliances in my mouth.
Armin ShimermanGUEST
So he had sort of a Humphrey Bogart shout of sound to him because I had appliances in my mouth.
