: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,
:19:02
and you were in my seat.
:19:05
And cut! Very nice.
:19:08
LeVar Burton: There was a young man
who was confined to a wheelchair,
:19:10
and his name was Jordan La Forge.
:19:14
The young man was given
6 months to a year to live,
:19:17
and, uh, he attributes
the fact that he lived
:19:20
for many years after his prognosis
:19:23
to the fact that he watched Star Trek.
:19:25
Finally, when he did pass away,
:19:28
Gene just thought that
having somebody in that place,
:19:32
you know, as Geordi,
would be a perfect example,
:19:36
a perfect sort of-- A nice thing
to do in memory of him.
:19:40
Originally, Geordi
was the pilot of the ship,
:19:42
so he wanted the pilot to be,
you know, the blind man,
:19:44
and the blind man is the one
that's flying this ship.
:19:54
I watched the original series
:19:55
with my mother and brother
when I was a kid,
:19:58
and I enjoyed it.
