Star Trek<\/em> Writer\/Producer Ronald D. Moore<\/strong> participated in a Reddit<\/em> “Ask Me Anything” session and spoke about his time working on Star Trek<\/em> and on Trek’s future.<\/p>\n Topics included how he got into writing for Trek, Deep Space Nine<\/em>, Dukat, Q, favorite memories from his time on The Next Generation,<\/em> and Star Trek: Generations<\/em>‘ Soran.<\/p>\n A Reddit<\/em> poster wondered if Moore regretted the direction in which they took Dukat. “After Sacrifice of Angels<\/em> his character seems to become a cartoonish super-villain rather than a complicated villain,” said the poster, ServerofJustice<\/em>. “I don’t think I’m alone in feeling unsatisfied with how his story played out. I’m not a writer but it seems as though Damar’s redemption was a plot that could have been perfectly laid out for Dukat instead.”<\/p>\n Moore disagreed, saying that “we were all pleased with where we took Dukat; it felt like it was organic based on where the character began, who he was in the past and in the present, so I don’t think we have any regrets.”<\/p>\n Who was the most challenging Trek character for Moore to write? “It\u2019s tricky to write for Q in Star Trek<\/em> because he was an omnipotent being with complete control of the universe, and figuring out how to make him ‘Human’ was a bit of a challenge,” said Moore. “On BSG<\/em>, I always particular enjoyed writing for Baltar, I thought he was the most human character in the entire series.”<\/p>\n Moore didn’t have one favorite memory from The Next Generation<\/em>, but several. “[It’s For the role of Soran, a famous actor was originally considered for the role instead of Malcolm McDowell<\/strong>. “There was an interesting moment in time where Paramount actually pitched us the idea of having Marlon Brando<\/strong> play Soran in Generations<\/em>,” said Moore. “None of us knew what to make of that idea, but we were more than willing to give it a shot, but it never went anywhere.”<\/p>\n To read the entire AMA session, head to the link located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Trek Writer\/Producer Ronald D.
