This happened today!!!

Highlights from Rene’s Q&A today:

 - Armin Shimerman emailed him yesterday to tell him happy birthday so they’re still as close as ever. He described Armin as his “dearest friend.”

- He loves that DS9 got a documentary, but he thinks (and told Ira Steven Behr this) that Ira got too much screen time during it and too much of the focus was on him and the writer’s room. He was particularly bothered by the end where Ira was talking to Nana during the credits when the supporters’ names were being displayed as he thought their conversation drew the focus away from the names.

- He thought that his lines in Star Trek Online were weird and that many of them might have originally been written for Avery Brooks and didn’t feel like lines Odo would say

- He thinks Nicole thought he was really grumpy when she first met him on DS9 because he hated having to wear his Odo makeup and it would put him in a bad mood. The biggest lesson he learned from DS9 was patience, thanks to his makeup.

- He wasn’t afraid of being typecast if he did DS9 since he was in his 50s at that point and had already had a varied career, but he might have turned a Star Trek show down if he had been asked in his 30s.

Highlights from Terry Farrell’s GalaxyCon Q&A:

- She got emotional during the documentary talking about her departure from DS9 because it was her first time ever saying what happened in front of the other cast members. There was a lot from that interview that didn’t make it into the documentary, although she didn’t say what.

- No one on the staff was very helpful back when she was dealing with all of this. She only spoke with Rick Berman about it, but said that other people, including Ira, weren’t very kind to her about her leaving.

- Her and Nana work out together. She thinks it’s hilarious that Dax and Kira are working out together but no one in their gym knows who they are.

- She met Adam Nimoy after his father had passed away and he was working on For the Love of Spock. She called him handsome and her affection for him came through in the way that she spoke about him. He’s a big inspiration in her life. She also said that she likes going to his events and hiding in the shadows so he gets the attention and she can avoid being in the spotlight.

- Her upcoming project right now is being a mom, but if asked to return to Star Trek, she’d do it “in a nano-second.”

- Her favorite funny moment from DS9 was when Rene made her cry. (She didn’t elaborate on why, but said it’s funny now although it wasn’t funny at the time. But this was also just related to how DS9 was a serious set so there weren’t that many funny moments.)

- Part of the reason she enjoyed doing Rejoined so much was that it provoked such a huge negative reaction. She knew this meant she was doing something right.

- She started to hear from the LGBTQ+ community after doing Rejoined, and has a personal connection now that she has a nephew who has transitioned to male. She kept mixing up the words “transgender” and “pansexual” though, I think.

- She and Michael Dorn decided to start flirting with each other to see if the writers would catch on and give their characters more scenes together. In real life, he was like Worf in that he’d challenge her to improve. They would rehearse scenes together then he’d decide at the last minute that he wanted to change something, which was frustrating to her at the time.

honestly no one has done more for ConLang than the hard working ds9 fanfic writers who made a quizlet for Kardasi and also gave it its name.

If anyone missed out on the Indiegogo Garak shirts and still wants one, message me! I’m working on remaking the design (this is what I have so far) so I can make one of the shirts for myself since there’s no way to get the original shirts now. Also if you want a design for another character, let me know! It didn’t take me too long to make this so I could probably make more.

Just finished the good omens miniseries and let me tell you two characters constantly having lunch together is apparently “should’ve been in a canon relationship together like come on even the actors think so” culture!

Just posted this on my RedBubble account. We’ll see if it gets yanked down for IP violation with CBS/Paramount. 😕 It’s a cut-out transparency so I’m kind of proud of it. 😁🦎💕. If they let this one pass, I might try some more ‘cameo’ style favorite quote pics.
