00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:01.710
<v ->Now you said that your older sister</v>

2
00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:03.500
was the one who got you into "Star Trek"

3
00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:06.580
and what do you remember from that time?

4
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:08.800
What was your first memory of "Star Trek?"

5
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.810
<v ->So we grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi,</v>

6
00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:14.430
where you had, for most of
my childhood, two stations,

7
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:16.770
ABC and CBS.

8
00:00:16.770 --> 00:00:20.850
So I did not actually ever
see the original "Star Trek",

9
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:22.490
because that was a CBS property.

10
00:00:22.490 --> 00:00:27.490
But in 1987 they introduced
Fox, the good Fox,

11
00:00:27.590 --> 00:00:28.489
to Gulfport,

12
00:00:28.489 --> 00:00:30.130
(interviewer laughing)

13
00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:33.580
and Fox carried "Star
Trek: The Next Generation."

14
00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:35.870
My older sister, who was the
only person in our family

15
00:00:35.870 --> 00:00:38.470
who had her own room,
she also had a television

16
00:00:38.470 --> 00:00:41.512
because she was a senior and
so for some reason special.

17
00:00:41.512 --> 00:00:42.345
<v ->Ooh!</v>

18
00:00:42.345 --> 00:00:43.590
<v ->And she was watching this show</v>

19
00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:45.047
and she came and got me and said,

20
00:00:45.047 --> 00:00:46.917
"Stacey, come look at this weird thing!

21
00:00:46.917 --> 00:00:47.930
"It looks interesting."

22
00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:50.440
So she let me into the inner sanctum.

23
00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:51.530
And I got to sit on her bed

24
00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:53.350
and watch the very first episode

25
00:00:53.350 --> 00:00:56.600
of "Star Trek: The Next
Generation" and we were hooked.

26
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.743
And I've now watched
every "Trek" possible.
