Star Trek Las Vegas Con '07

Here's an update from the Star Trek Las Vegas Con '07, held in the beginning of August:

Con was good but not as exciting as last year (prob. b/c I knew what to expect). 5 days next year....oy!

Wil Wheaton was hilarious. Totally deconstructed the ep: "Justice" in hysterical and profane ways. They put him in this small room (not main con room) at 6:45pm after the rest of the day was over. The rumor is they were ticked at him b/c he won't do photo ops so they shoved him over to the side.

Terry Farrell looked gorgeous. She said she'd gained some weight. What!?!? Is a homemaker raising a kid. Admitted she never has to work again after DS9 and Becker . Also, said she left b/c of the $. Nice to hear the truth! Said it had nothing to do w/creative differences. Also told us she's 6' tall.

Gates McFadden was fun. Told us why she left. Not for $ but b/c she felt Wesley should come to her for mentoring not to male characters. One writer or producer (she didn't say who) disagreed. She said, "It's him or me." TPTB chose him. The next year, they changed their mind and said, "Gates, we choose you."

Kate M. flew in and out pretty quickly as she's in a new play. Here's the URL if anyone is interested:

Braga was interesting. He said he didn't like the last ep. of Enterprise and it was a mistake. Plus, he killed Trip b/c he was his favorite character and as he knew the show was ending he said, "What the heck?"

Ronald Moore was in the secondary room. He explained the f/x and brought props and had a slideshow. He showed how he shook a silver pompom to make the transporter. Also, other funny things like how he used a flashlight in the inside of a pipe in the 'microbrain' ep. of TNG. Also, I kid you not, how he used dog poop to make a brown planet...
