WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:04.260 You know, when we started shooting 2 00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.637 and then finally airing Star Trek: The Next Generation, 3 00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:11.950 the fans were all we had 4 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:17.850 and they were the ones who helped launch the whole series, 5 00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:19.590 the seven years of the series. 6 00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:20.910 Live long and prosper. 7 00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.900 And the fans were absolutely essential to that 8 00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.880 and they continue to be. 9 00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:29.880 And that's the relationship we have with them, 10 00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.640 enthusiasm and gratitude. 11 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.590 At eight is when I was introduced 12 00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:36.840 to Star Trek with The Original Series 13 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.030 and then as I got older, in my 20s, 14 00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:41.640 I had a family and then I introduced my daughters 15 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.848 and my sons to The Next Generation. 16 00:00:44.848 --> 00:00:49.848 TNG was the first thing of Star Trek that I got into 17 00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:52.830 and I got into it right at the start of the pandemic, 18 00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:56.010 so it really gave me something to latch onto 19 00:00:56.010 --> 00:00:58.560 and hold onto for my sanity 20 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.740 and seeing them all out there was just really special. 21 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:02.700 It meant a lot to me. 22 00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.253 Well, I guess if I had a message for the fans, 23 00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.880 it would be how glad I am that we're back 24 00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:14.550 and what a blessing this feels like. 25 00:01:14.550 --> 00:01:17.940 I'd just like to say thanks to all of you 26 00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:21.600 for staying with us all this time. 27 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.970 Now that I'm in my mid-40s, 28 00:01:23.970 --> 00:01:26.790 I am so much more appreciative 29 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.240 of all of you who have taken this journey with us 30 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:32.700 all these years and are still here with us. 31 00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:35.130 I know obviously I'm not the generation 32 00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:38.820 that grew up with it on TV, but I grew up with reruns of it. 33 00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:40.230 It was my favorite show, 34 00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.237 like specifically Next Generation. 35 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:47.100 Deanna Troi was legitimately my hero growing up. 36 00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.480 I absolutely loved her. 37 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.830 I dressed as her for Halloween one year when I was a kid. 38 00:01:52.830 --> 00:01:54.030 Absolutely love her. 39 00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:56.910 Thank you, thank you for my career. 40 00:01:56.910 --> 00:02:00.030 Thank you for 35 years of happiness. 41 00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:01.710 Thank you for my Star Trek family, 42 00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:04.020 which I wouldn't have had if I hadn't done the show. 43 00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:04.860 Thank you so much 44 00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:06.990 for bringing this whole cast together again 45 00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:11.370 because you guys have no idea how much it means to us 46 00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:15.037 to see you all together after all this time. 47 00:02:24.242 --> 00:02:27.120 Everything I have I owe to you and I will never, ever, 48 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.750 ever forget it or not appreciate your loyalty 49 00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:32.580 because you are the most loyal fans 50 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:34.327 in the history of show business. 51 00:02:34.327 --> 00:02:37.500 Star Trek's honestly the reason I'm still around today. 52 00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:39.990 It really kept me going so during dark times. 53 00:02:39.990 --> 00:02:43.473 Stories of hope and The Next Generation crew is just, 54 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.600 yeah, they were always there for me 55 00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:46.950 when I needed them the most. 56 00:02:46.950 --> 00:02:51.873 Thank you for all of the years of love and encouragement. 57 00:02:53.880 --> 00:02:56.410 Thanks to you, Dr. Beverly Crusher 58 00:02:57.660 --> 00:02:59.670 thrived through all those years 59 00:02:59.670 --> 00:03:02.520 and I just want you to know I am really grateful. 60 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.230 Live long and prosper. 61 00:03:04.230 --> 00:03:05.103 I hope we all do. 62 00:03:06.888 --> 00:03:10.260 I love Star Trek 'cause it gives people new hope, 63 00:03:10.260 --> 00:03:12.510 some hope for the future, for humanity. 64 00:03:12.510 --> 00:03:16.830 We have the greatest fans in the world 65 00:03:16.830 --> 00:03:21.060 because they've stuck with us through three generations, 66 00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:24.660 almost four and you just don't get that in television. 67 00:03:24.660 --> 00:03:26.730 I just want you to know that I'm so proud 68 00:03:26.730 --> 00:03:29.580 to be a part of this big family and community. 69 00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:31.320 I'd like to say to the fans who have been with us 70 00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:34.320 for the 35 year journey that we've all been on together. 71 00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:36.210 I know you weren't all there in the beginning, 72 00:03:36.210 --> 00:03:38.310 but you came around by about Season 3. 73 00:03:39.390 --> 00:03:41.190 The next chapter of our lives, 74 00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:45.630 which is the third season of Picard, 75 00:03:45.630 --> 00:03:47.550 may be our greatest adventure ever. 76 00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:49.923 So, we look forward to sharing it with you. 77 00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:52.080 Please watch. 78 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.730 To hear that

conclusion 87 00:04:13.290 --> 00:04:14.540 to The Next Generation. 88 00:04:15.390 --> 00:04:16.830 Thank you. 89 00:04:16.830 --> 00:04:19.260 We appreciate your loyalty 90 00:04:19.260 -->
