Comic-Con 2011. What do you think (or wish) J.J. Abrams will reveal at next year's Comic-Con?
By Steve Krutzler / 14:46, 15 July 2004 / Enterprise
STAR TREK: VOYAGER actor Robert Picardo ('The Doctor') stopped by the official STAR TREK web site yesterday to chat with fans about his famous role. On the heels of Marina Sirtis ('Troi')'s revelation that TNG cast mate Brent Spiner ('Data') would play an ancestor of Data's creator 'Dr. Noonien Soong' on a three-part episode of ENTERPRISE this season (story), Picardo let fly more details on the story.
"Late last August, I stopped in to see Brannon [Braga] and told him I'd enjoy doing the show but I wanted to try to avoid heavy rubber," Picardo told fans when asked about what he thought of the latest TREK series. "Suppose I played a great-great-great-ancestor of the Doctor's programmer, 'Lewis Zimmerman', who was vigorously opposed to the development of artificial intelligence."
Picardo says he was surprised to learn that a similar idea is being developed for Spiner's guest appearance.
"When I spoke to my pal Brent Spiner yesterday, I found out they're doing exactly the same story with Data in a three-part episode, which he and I both thought was a remarkable coincidence," the actor explained. "I would love to get a phone call from Brannon about this 'remarkable coincidence' as it really is remarkable. Perhaps he'll call, that too would be remarkable. (Laughs)."
In the chat, Picardo answered a slew of questions from his favorite types of cuisine to various VOYAGER episodes. He recalled "Life Line" humorously.
"I found it a great pleasure to work with myself," he said. "I found myself to be demanding, enthusiastic, generous of spirit, and of unfailing good humor. Although, I did have a tendency to talk about myself too much to myself. There was also the gnawing fear that I would not be able to measure up to myself. But, when all was said and done, I had to give myself very high marks, and I would recommend working with me to anyone."
Picardo says he was offered a role in one of VOY cast mate Roxann Dawson ('B'Elanna')'s ENTERPRISE episodes last season, but was unable to take part due to an obligation to THE LYON'S DEN. For more from the actor, including his latest and upcoming theatre plans, check out the complete transcript.

How can they dis my homeboy Picardo?
(easy 
)
I'd rather get some backstory behind THE most famous AI guy in Trek:
Dr. Richard Daystrom
Why not HIS ancestor? I mean the man has an Institute named after him for god's sake.
But oh well. Oh that's right, he's from that [insert expletive] TOS.

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

Outer Space. The last frontier.
These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise.
Its 5-year plan...
Calls for us to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations.
To boldly fly where no man has gone in space.
