00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.710
Now, I specifically wanna talk

2
00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:04.004
about Episode 107, "Nepenthe,"

3
00:00:04.004 --> 00:00:08.008
which was hands down-- I
didn't think any episode

4
00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:12.303
was going to land on me
harder than "Freecloud,"

5
00:00:12.303 --> 00:00:14.848
but "Nepenthe" just blew it away.

6
00:00:14.848 --> 00:00:18.935
It was the most emotional
episode of the season for me,

7
00:00:18.935 --> 00:00:21.813
even including the finale,
which we'll get to.

8
00:00:21.813 --> 00:00:24.941
But I would love to hear from both of you,

9
00:00:24.941 --> 00:00:26.776
let's start with you, Johnny,

10
00:00:26.776 --> 00:00:30.280
tell me what it was like to see each other

11
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.200
in costume, in character,
for the first time

12
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.785
in just about two decades.

13
00:00:35.785 --> 00:00:39.372
It was a very emotional show to be in.

14
00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:42.625
It resonated, I think, with the fans.

15
00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:47.505
And to see Picard come
through the door of my cabin

16
00:00:48.423 --> 00:00:50.592
and that wonderful big hug

17
00:00:50.592 --> 00:00:52.218
that I was encouraged to throw on him

18
00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:54.763
was the easiest and most natural

19
00:00:54.763 --> 00:00:57.849
and best way to start that week for me.

20
00:00:57.849 --> 00:01:00.393
When we were shooting,
rehearsing and shooting,

21
00:01:00.393 --> 00:01:03.688
and I walked on the set,
it was not the same.

22
00:01:03.688 --> 00:01:06.399
It wasn't like walking on
the bridge of the Enterprise.

23
00:01:06.399 --> 00:01:07.233
No.

24
00:01:07.233 --> 00:01:10.278
And there was number
one sitting in my chair,

25
00:01:10.278 --> 00:01:11.780
because he was flying the ship,

26
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:14.616
and then he got up and welcomed me.

27
00:01:14.616 --> 00:01:17.327
There was none of that
because we didn't look like

28
00:01:17.327 --> 00:01:20.455
Will Riker and Jean-Luc Picard at all,

29
00:01:20.455 --> 00:01:23.208
and the whole world, the
environment that we were in,

30
00:01:23.208 --> 00:01:24.584
was totally different.

31
00:01:24.584 --> 00:01:27.545
Now, I found that really stimulating

32
00:01:27.545 --> 00:01:29.130
and I got a feeling you did too, John.

33
00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:30.590
Yeah, of course.
