Well, I watched — or listened to, actually, while I was doing other things — the whole interview. Great stuff; definitely makes me want to watch “Roots.”

I wonder why LeVar hasn’t tried to get a new TNG movie made (for DVD, Theatre or TV mini-series???) I ask this because he is an accomplished director, and would seem a logical person to try to get the ball moving (well, either him and Jonathan Frakes!) I think it would be great if they did a TNG mini-series. 3 movies, with Frakes and LeVar directing one or two each.

Has anyone asked LeVar or Jonathan if they would be interested in doing something like this in recent interviews?

Really cool interview, but the audio gets more and more out of sync with the picture the further you get into it. :-(

neill

i have warned you over and over that you need to lighten up and calm down. Not only with the making multiple posts in a row, responding to yourself, but also this straw man notion that the world hates all trek pre-2009. That is just blatantly false and to be quite frank is just a paranoid fantasy of yours, so stop saying it over and over and calling people ‘haters’ etc.

Hey happy B Day Levar. You are a great actor. Weather it be from Roots to Star Trek to Reading Rainbow. You are an Icon.

Happy birthday LeVar. And I agree that LaForge was not the best Trek character ever, but I think that LeVar made him much more interesting than another actor could have. I think if you look at LaForge from the start of TNG he was someone who was very unsure of himself and then flash forward to the movie era and he’s a guy who’s on top of things. Plus he was Data’s pall, and the look LeVar gives when Riker’s remembering Data in Nemesis is priceless and says it all.

1.6 million followers? Really?
I mean, I like him, but 1.6 million people follow him? Are you sure?

Nothing against LeVar Burton but LaForge was the only Trek character
I truly disliked. He was a complainer kind of wimpish and not really
Star Fleet[’s finest I will never forget how badly he treated Scotty in the Relics episode.

To you LaVar ! A wonderful blessed Bday! You gave 7 great years of your past Bdays to us not to mention I lost count of the maney enriching years of Reading Raimbow to countless kids to be inspired by. Thank you Geordi LaForge for being all you can be! And the love you sent around. And happiness! This is your day ENJOY!
