Earl Grey 96: Not So Wacky Doodle

Chaos on the Bridge.

Star Trek on television again? What a wacky-doodle
idea! 

So begins the documentary "William Shatner Presents: Chaos on the
Bridge" that interviews all the major players involved in the
creation of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Shatner
interviews the studio presidents, executives, producers,
writers, and actors involved in making TNG and charts
the story of the first three seasons of the television series.
The film concentrates on the late Trek creator Gene Roddenberry
and his interactions in making Next Gen possible,
interspersed with a country twang soundtrack and illustrations
that depict those interactions from 1986 to 1990.
  

Darren, Phillip, and Daniel review the documentary itself and
discuss their reactions to Shatner's interviews. They discuss
Roddenberry's approach to Star Trek, how other people affected
that vision for good and ill, and how all the "behind the scenes"
conflict contributed to what we saw on screen from "Encounter at
Farpoint" to "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I." So ante up with
your poker chips, get our your banjo, and join Earl
Grey as they discuss "Chaos on the Bridge."
