There was a lot of crossover even before the finale had happened, and so we welcomed them with open arms because they were like friends coming to hang out some more. <strong>Jonathan<\/strong> (<strong>Frakes<\/strong>) had directed some episodes, too, and he&#8217;s such a fun guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Park could have worked on any other <em>Star Trek <\/em>series or movie, which would she have chosen? &#8220;Definitely I would say the new <em>Star Trek <\/em>movie,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s my sensibility to have something that completely does a fresh, fresh, fresh take on everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Park is a fan of both<strong> Zachary Quinto <\/strong>and<strong> Chris Pine<\/strong>. &#8220;I think Zachary Quinto is an extraordinary actor. I hadn&#8217;t watched <em>Heroes<\/em> on TV, but I was in Bulgaria shooting a movie and didn&#8217;t have any TV there. So I downloaded all of the first season of <em>Heroes<\/em> and watched it. It was like chips; I couldn&#8217;t stop. I became a big fan of Zachary Quinto, and I thought he was an incredible Spock in the movie. Chris Pine and I have the same agent, and I&#8217;m a fan of his as well. I just saw him in <em>The Lieutenant of Inishmore<\/em>, at the Geffen in Los Angeles. So it would have been a lot of fun to work with some contemporaries who I think are pretty great.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although she liked the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Linda Park would have&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[3441,3440],"class_list":["post-10737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-hoshi","tag-park"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10737"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10740,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10737\/revisions\/10740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
