Star Trek: 1. 5 Dark Behind- The- Scenes Secrets. Even with its darker chapters, Star Trek is essentially about optimism and hope for humanity’s future. It’s a future where we’re free from interpersonal conflict, war, and disease (wars with aliens don’t count). When you look at Earth and humans in general—we’re all getting along in the franchise. We’ve evolved beyond petty disputes. However, that’s the series. In reality, when you have a franchise that is as longstanding as Trek is, there will still be problems along the way.

That Star Trek is open- hearted and expectant, it makes a kind of horrible, ironic sense that the behind- the- scenes turmoil is as dark and ugly as it is. Star Trek fans are a passionate bunch, so you’ve probably heard some of the stories: cast member feuds, studio interference, executive stupidity, rumors about certain actors wearing toupees and girdles. There’s even that story about Jonathan Frakes refusing to shave his back hair in Star Trek: Nemesis, which is both funny and unfortunate. But then there’s the really heavy stuff. There are fifty years of Star Trek stories. Over a thousand episodes and a library of films.

There’s bound to be trouble. These are 1. 5 Dark Behind the Scenes Star Trek Stories. The series creator tried to ruin Wrath of Khan. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was over- budget and underwhelming. In response, Paramount removed Gene Roddenberry as Executive Producer and made him a consultant. They brought in Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennett to shepherd the sequel, The Wrath of Khan. Only, Leonard Nimoy was going through a phase all Trek actors have: he was sick of playing the character and wanted out.

To appease him, it was decided that Spock would be killed off early on. Then, “somehow,” the script was leaked, and fans had a shared nervous breakdown. The source of the leak was never truly revealed, but the actors and producers largely accept that Gene himself leaked the pages of the script. He was vocal about not wanting Spock killed off and was frustrated with the darker plot, as well as the theme of growing into middle age. He wanted to sabotage the project, or at least have Spock’s death taken out of the script. In the end, it was just rearranged, and, if anything, it made the film even better.

Many of the actors hated the shows they were on. Over the years, many actors have made their dislike of their time on Star Trek well known. Robert Beltran hated playing Chakotay on Voyager. The series rarely paid his character any attention, it relied heavily on technobabble, and Chakotay himself was as wooden as a forest of pines. Diana Muldaur, who portrayed Dr. Katherine Pulaski on The Next Generation, hated her time on the series and left after a single season.

Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and De. Forest Kelley have all tried at different times to escape their Star Trek legacies, but grew to appreciate and embrace their role in pop culture and what the characters mean to fans. And then there’s Jolene Blalock, aka T’Pol. She grew up watching Star Trek and loved the franchise. Unfortunately, she was on Enterprise—the show that makes Voyager look like The Original Series. Watch Black Irish Online Freeform here. Blalock, understandably, hated the series because of its lazy writing and wasted potential, even going on several rants, calling the series finale “appalling” (and it was!) while doing press for it.

She didn’t endear herself to the studio, but her honesty made her beloved by fans. The real reason Dr. Crusher left in season 2 of TNGThis is somewhat well- known, but worth going over again because of the skeev. Famously, Gates Mc. Fadden left Star Trek: The Next Generation in season 2 and reappeared the next year as though nothing happened. The reason she left was because of Executive Producer Maurice Hurley; namely, that Hurley was sexually harassing her, and, depending on the story, that he tried to get rough with her on set.

The cast didn’t respond well to Hurley after that; Patrick Stewart actively worked to get Mc. Fadden back on the show while the cast pushed to get Hurley removed. Considering the negative feedback Gates’ replacement received, along with the complaints against Hurley—who also had the creative backbone of a jellyfish—TNG was essentially reset in season 3. Hurley was tossed and replaced with the lovely and talented Michael Piller and Gates Mc.

Fadden returned. 1. Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan didn’t get along. Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine joined Voyager midway through the series’ run.

In order to free- up the money for a new cast member, one needed to be killed off (more on that later). Once Seven joined, the series refocused to develop her character. The fact that she was new and offered a unique voice to a homogenized cast made her a favorite of the writers. That unique voice (combined with her hotness, let’s face it) made her a favorite among fans. Kate Mulgrew, not so much. She resented Jeri Ryan for taking the spotlight away from the established actors and was rude to her during filming, often walking off- stage whenever she was out of the shot, forcing Ryan to have a conversation with thin air.

For their scenes together (of which there were many), Mulgrew would sometimes read a magazine and chime in whenever directed to. The two now are on friendly terms, but during the run of the series, it seems Ryan had as much fun making the show as the rest of us did watching it. DS9 was consistently undermined. Rick Berman is a polarizing figure in Star Trek. He oversaw the franchise following Gene Roddenberry’s illness and eventual passing, and shepherded it through its most successful years, but he was also responsible for its decline. Berman was a micromanager who didn’t take many risks.

Deep Space Nine was the epitome of risk (and, after all, risk is our business). It took place on a space station. It was serialized. It was dark. It was clearly something Gene would’ve had a problem with.

Berman, according to producers and cast members, didn’t like the series. Under Michael Piller and Ira Steven Behr, the show was dark. It was mean. It was risky. Over the years, budgets were decreased, storylines were hampered, or altered, or outright refused. A push for a DS9 film (or at least a crossover) was shot down, burned, and its ashes spread over a bottomless pit.

Berman often opposed the Dominion War arc, claiming it was too dark. Womb Raider Full Movie here. Ira Behr allegedly responded, “Wars are f*****g dark!” Ira Steven Behr is a king among men. British TV censored the episode “The High Ground”Star Trek is known for exploring difficult topics, but it’s also known for fumbling the exploration. Blood Fever” preached cultural relativism. Dear Doctor” and “Pen Pals” featured main cast members preaching genocide.

Tattoo” portrayed Chakotay’s father as someone who supported racial purity—and took his side. Yeah, sometimes Trek made some bad calls, but at least they never advocated terrorism and—what? Oh, crap. Well, Star Trek once (accidentally) advocated terrorism in the TNG episode “The High Ground.” In an episode dealing with the complexities of terror, Data attempts to bring it home to the audience by coloring in some Earth history for context. Reminding us this is a sci- fi show, he references our past (and still future), by claiming Ireland was unified in 2. Wow. Unsurprisingly, British TV banned the episode before its debut in 1. Gene’s many affairs.

Gene Roddenberry wasn’t the best writer. He was, however, an amazing re- writer (yes, that makes sense) and had an amazing eye for world- building. He was a workaholic who created one of the greatest sci- fi journeys of all time (it’s much better than Star Wars—admit it, you know it to be true). However, Roddenberry also had his demons. This includes serial philandering. He constantly cheated on his first wife, Eileen Rexroat, with his next wife, Majel Barrett, while also carrying on another affair with Nichelle Nichols.
