It was surreal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sirtis spoke about <em>Star Trek<\/em>&#8216;s impact on society. &#8220;It&#8217;s like the franchise that will not die,&#8221; she said &#8220;We&#8217;ve tried to kill it on various occasions. One of the movies I&#8217;m thinking of, particularly. But it just goes on and on. I just think, when you hit on a winning formula, that&#8217;s what it is. I have people telling me that they became a psychologist or a counselor because of me. I&#8217;m just an actress! I show up with my lines learned. I show up and hit my mark and try not to bump into the furniture. It&#8217;s an honor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both actors would love to be involved in the new <em>Star Trek<\/em> film franchise. &#8220;Of course,&#8221; said Bakula. &#8220;I love the new film! Are you kidding? They just have to ask. They have my number. I fax it regularly over to his [<strong>J.J. Abrams<\/strong>&#8216;] office. Is that wrong? Is that pandering? In uniform. Maybe that&#8217;s too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love the new films,&#8221; said Sirtis. &#8220;I thought the kids were fantastic! &#8230; Would I like to be in the new films? Yes! That would be fabulous!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Bakula and Marina Sirtis were at the Saturn Awards yesterday, and the two spoke&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2599,2491],"class_list":["post-19136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-bakula","tag-sirtis"],"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":"3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19136","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=19136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19142,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19136\/revisions\/19142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
