And he goes, "Cool."
And walked on.

:17:04
There was a fan who,
in 1973 in New York,

:17:07
came up to Jimmy Doohan,
who I was with,

:17:09
and pulled out a box
that had a hypodermic in it

:17:13
and asked Jimmy if he could
get a sample of his blood.

:17:16
A woman...
:17:18
stood up in one
of the conventions and said,

:17:22
"What's it feel like
to be beamed?"

:17:26
20 years later, he was
at a convention in New Y ork,

:17:28
and the same young man
came up to him with the same box
with the same hypodermic

:17:32
and said, "Mr. Doohan,
can I get a sample of your blood?"

:17:35
He was still doing
the same thing 20 years later.

:17:38
Man: There's one gentleman
:17:39
who for about, what, 10 years?
:17:42
Second Man: Almost the whole run.
:17:44
Almost the whole run of since
the beginning of The Next Generation

:17:47
has been sending something
in the mail every day to Star Trek.

:17:52
Every day.
:17:54
The funny thing is, it has
nothing to do with Star Trek.

:17:57
He sends us travel brochures,
:18:00
um...and that's all he sends.
:18:02
And postcards talking about
where he travels.

:18:06
Or sometimes, he describes--
Well, look at this one.

:18:09
We've got a Victoria's Secret
catalog that he sent...

:18:14
Something about a mission,
:18:17
a fruit trees
and landscaping catalog,

:18:20
Caribbean, Hawaii,
:18:22
Canada, Australia.
:18:24
He also will sometimes send
postcards talking about
what he had for lunch that day

:18:29
or what he ate or how many
cups of coffee he drank,

:18:32
and it's always to Star Trek,
but it's never about Star Trek.

:18:36
And we always wondered
about this guy.

:18:38
Who is he? Where is he from?
And why is he sending us these things?

:18:42
And if you-- Over 10 years, every day,
:18:44
that's quite a few packages.
:18:49
Man: OK. Here we go.
:18:50
Woman: Rolling.
:18:52
And action, please.
:18:54
Maybe you didn't read the crew roster,
:18:56
but my name is Dax, and I'm the new
science officer on this garbage scow,
