WEBVTT 00:14.900 --> 00:16.500 I have heard on 00:16.500 --> 00:18.800 a number of occasions that people said that 00:18.800 --> 00:22.400 my character and the way I do it reminds 00:22.400 --> 00:25.500 them of DeForest Kelley playing bones 00:25.500 --> 00:27.000 while I take that as a 00:27.000 --> 00:27.900 huge compliment. 00:27.900 --> 00:29.200 I thought he was a 00:29.200 --> 00:32.900 great actor. 00:32.900 --> 00:34.500 Now I go and do what I do 00:34.500 --> 00:35.200 and 00:35.200 --> 00:36.000 and 00:36.000 --> 00:38.400 when I go to work to try to tell 00:38.400 --> 00:39.600 the story 00:39.600 --> 00:41.400 through trips voice, 00:41.400 --> 00:42.000 you know, 00:42.000 --> 00:44.900 it's coming through me. 00:44.900 --> 00:48.100 I've never tried to 00:48.100 --> 00:50.900 Channel 00:50.900 --> 00:52.000 bones, 00:52.000 --> 00:55.300 but I really really appreciate the comparison. 00:55.300 --> 00:56.200 It makes me 00:56.200 --> 01:01.900 makes you feel as though I'm doing my job. 01:01.900 --> 01:04.700 I do see season 3 as a metaphor for 01:04.700 --> 01:07.100 what's going on in our world 01:07.100 --> 01:09.500 and and 01:09.500 --> 01:10.700 and frankly 01:10.700 --> 01:13.000 the show that we have. 01:13.000 --> 01:15.000 Bears a bit of that responsibility, 01:15.000 --> 01:17.700 I think I think not being in tune with 01:17.700 --> 01:21.300 what is going on in the world. 01:21.300 --> 01:23.400 The original one did the same thing. 01:23.400 --> 01:25.200 They have all down the line I think done 01:25.200 --> 01:25.700 the same thing. 01:25.700 --> 01:28.000 I think that's part of one of the cornerstones 01:28.000 --> 01:30.500 of Star Trek is that it tackles 01:30.500 --> 01:32.100 those issues and 01:32.100 --> 01:34.400 if you can separate yourself by telling 01:34.400 --> 01:36.900 an analogy about a story or about a real 01:36.900 --> 01:37.700 event, 01:37.700 --> 01:40.200 it's sometimes easier to take in 01:40.200 --> 01:41.600 and to deal with it 01:41.600 --> 01:42.900 emotionally then to be 01:42.900 --> 01:43.500 Old 01:43.500 --> 01:44.200 or given 01:44.200 --> 01:46.200 the photographs or the scene 01:46.200 --> 01:47.300 or the 01:47.300 --> 01:49.900 other or something? Very graphic that sort of shocks 01:49.900 --> 01:50.300 you 01:50.300 --> 01:51.400 this. 01:51.400 --> 01:54.100 I think what we did this year 01:54.100 --> 01:57.100 and I think we were all conscious of what 01:57.100 --> 01:59.200 what story we were telling and in 01:59.200 --> 02:00.600 an instant analogy. 02:00.600 --> 02:02.300 I think that that's 02:02.300 --> 02:05.100 an important part of Storytelling 02:05.100 --> 02:07.400 and 02:07.400 --> 02:08.400 We were all aware of it. 02:08.400 --> 02:10.900 And we 02:10.900 --> 02:12.800 we cared for the story 02:12.800 --> 02:13.800 as a whole 02:13.800 --> 02:16.300 and in telling it that way. 02:16.300 --> 02:18.000 I can't say that we know we were trying 02:18.000 --> 02:18.400 to 02:18.400 --> 02:20.400 to go from point to point to point 02:20.400 --> 02:22.200 and what was happening in the world. 02:22.200 --> 02:23.500 But but 02:23.500 --> 02:25.600 the general wash of what we're going through right 02:25.600 --> 02:26.300 now, 02:26.300 --> 02:29.600 I think 02:29.600 --> 02:32.700 You can point to our season as sort of 02:32.700 --> 02:34.000 representing 02:34.000 --> 02:37.300 what's going on with our world 02:37.300 --> 02:39.700 and you know, what? 02:39.700 --> 02:41.200 If I 02:41.200 --> 02:42.600 I would always want to have 02:42.600 --> 02:43.900 an opportunity 02:43.900 --> 02:44.800 to be culturally 02:44.800 --> 02:46.800 culturally relevant, 02:46.800 --> 02:48.100 you know, I take a lot of pride in 02:48.100 --> 02:48.800 that 02:48.800 --> 02:54.000 that's sort of what we're doing. 02:54.000 --> 02:55.300 You now see the show. 02:55.300 --> 02:56.900 Yeah, I think this is our show. 02:56.900 --> 02:58.200 I think that 02:58.200 --> 03:00.500 that we 03:00.500 --> 03:06.300 we got a lot of momentum momentum building and 03:06.300 --> 03:08.000 I think we now know 03:08.000 --> 03:09.600 what our show is about. 03:09.600 --> 03:10.800 I think it takes a couple of years. 03:10.800 --> 03:12.600 It's historically taken a couple of years for each 03:12.600 --> 03:13.400 of the 03:13.400 --> 03:15.800 each of the franchise 03:15.800 --> 03:16.800 series to 03:16.800 --> 03:19.100 to find their voice for to find their 03:19.100 --> 03:19.800 their grounding. 03:19.800 --> 03:22.300 And and I think definitely we found ours I 03:22.300 --> 03:25.400 think that 03:25.400 --> 03:27.700 I think that we have 03:27.700 --> 03:30.900 a show that is worthy of being watched 03:30.900 --> 03:33.800 and I think that 03:33.800 --> 03:36.100 given the opportunity. 03:36.100 --> 03:39.100 To to complete the 7-year Arc 03:39.100 --> 03:41.500 some really really cool things could happen. 03:41.500 --> 03:44.200 We've got some great actors on our show. 03:44.200 --> 03:46.000 We've got some great stories coming out on our 03:46.000 --> 03:50.100 show hadn't great stories this year 03:50.100 --> 03:50.800 and 03:50.800 --> 03:52.300 my hope is that 03:52.300 --> 03:55.500 we get to keep on keeping on 03:55.500 --> 03:56.900 because 03:56.900 --> 03:58.500 just like with anything, you know, 03:58.500 --> 03:59.900 you get a new car you got to make 03:59.900 --> 04:01.300 tweaks to make it yours 04:01.300 --> 04:03.200 and we had to make the show ours 04:03.200 --> 04:05.000 everybody involved 04:05.000 --> 04:05.900 from the top down. 04:05.900 --> 04:07.700 Bottom, you know, it was a different show than 04:07.700 --> 04:08.900 the other ones 04:08.900 --> 04:13.000 but it still had to retain some of the 04:13.000 --> 04:14.300 core elements 04:14.300 --> 04:15.500 of what is Star Trek. 04:15.500 --> 04:16.000 And 04:16.000 --> 04:17.700 and I think we have found what that is 04:17.700 --> 04:18.900 for us 04:18.900 --> 04:20.100 and 04:20.100 --> 04:20.600 and 04:20.600 --> 04:22.000 and I hope we get to keep doing that.
