How are the different actors and production staff from Star Trek perceived by the fanbase?

Ron Moore has been show runner for Outlander in recent years.

Well going by my personal experiences.

Shatner isn't the amicable person he was 2-3 decades ago. He's just tired of Kirk at this late stage of his life, and would rather just have his coffee. Without Trekkies swarming his table.

Brent is kind of similar. Don't fangasm over him, a friendly hello I love you will do.

Dorn, and Frakes will have a blast over your fangasming.

Quaid, will fangasm over your fangasming of Boimler.

Wheaton did reprise his role as Wesley on Picard, briefly.

Terry Farrell, like a lot of women in the franchise in that era, had problems with Rick Berman being a shitty sexist creep.

Shatner has usually outpriced himself from returning to Trek. Which isn't too unfair... he was original Trek and one of the most recognizable talents from it... but no other show could afford his asking rate. (He wanted to play a guest spot on Enterprise!)

Picard was a flop?

I mean he’s no Spielberg but I think Frakes is a decent director. He has directed quite a few episodes as well as First Contact, one of Trek’s highest grossing moving, as well as Insurrection. Insurrection isn’t great but it’s not as bad as people say it is. Besides, you can’t direct your way out of a lackluster script.

I think official Terry Farrell left over a contract dispute but realistically I think she had issues with Berman from the start. I always like Jadzia but Terry Farrell is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life.

Curious. I thoroughly enjoyed Picard its foibles notwithstanding and I don't consider it to be a flop. I also think Frakes is an excellent director.

William Shatner is a bigot and an arrogant asshole. He managed to alienate most of the original cast during the show and in the years after.

As has been pointed out, he has reprised his role as Wesley. And he's been very clear that he's happy doing what he's doing

All of the main cast from the Kelvinverse movies seem like really great people to hang out with. Their Dubsmash videos always make me smile.

I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but I think bringing on Kurtzman and Abrams -- two avowed passionate Star Wars fans who had barely a passing familiarity with the franchise was a mistake. I'm grateful they brought Trek back from the dead, but they had to make an awful lot of mistakes to learn enough lessons to make SNW and Lower Decks.

I think Patrick Stewart didn't understand Picard and didn't care. I wanted the deeply moral and philosophical intellectual who used his clever mind to out think his opponents. Stewart wanted to get laid, drive dune buggies, climb Borg tubes like he's Tarzan, and impale a guy in the guts.

Terry Matalas comes off as a bit of a dick to me.

The fact that he straight up retconned or tossed aside major characters and plot lines from season one as soon as he took over at the beginning of season two, which led to him basically clearing house for the beginning of season three, seemed genuinely disrespectful to the people who worked on season one.

I get not liking a creative decision…. But whether you like it or not, people worked hard on that season. Instead of tossing it out, why not play the ball where it lies, and build on what came before?

You can argue he did it with Raffi- so it is possible. When the creatives who followed up TNG with DS9 took over, they didn’t chuck stuff like the Ferengi, or the Trill, or the Bajorans…. Instead, they built on those concepts and made it there own.

There’s also the weirdly conservative emphasis on found family and nepotism that was a running theme of season three. And the fact that he actively courted and did interviews with some of the Fandom Menace influencers during season three’s run…

I’m not against Legacy as a series, as I like Seven and Raffi, but I hope Matalas gets a showrunner to help him not just not fall back on some weak sauce nostalgia bait like he did in season three, but avoid some of the weird, problematic elements (relegating the women to their former regressive rolls/killing then off, rolling back what little queer representation there was, etc.) on display in the season.

Frakes isn’t a good director? He may not be great outside of Trek, but First Contact is a top notch movie. And not just a Trek movie, it’s just a good movie. He also directed Those Old Scientists (SNW), The Offspring (TNG), and The Drumhead (TNG).

He actually has very little to do with the direction of the franchise outside of his performance and directing.

I hate Wil Wheaton and the people I have known who have dealt with him have said he’s unpleasant.

Frakes is a very competent director who gets it done. He has a lot of directorial experience working in TV and on Star Trek specifically. He’s more professional behind the camera is my understanding.

Stewart is old and I think wanted to come back to Picard but he’s not a writer by trade. I think it was a bit of an ego thing for him.

Ronald D Moore writes for For All Mankind now. I’ve heard mixed things on him.

Armin Shimerman is a career actor and very upstanding, I’ve heard a lot of praise for his work.

Ira Steven Behr seems like he’s fallen out of touch with a lot of things in the current day. His comments about Garak’s sexuality struck me as super reductive and just out of touch for how progressive he wanted the show to be especially given how much our lexicon has evolved.

The Okudas, Doug Drexler, Herman Zimmerman, and Michael Westmore were all very innovative and hard working. I don’t think any of them really had “personalities” that made them hard to deal with.

I know a lot of folks who worked on the respective shitshows of Picard S1, 2, and 3 (it shot in my backyard and I work in entertainment).

Shatner is a dick and in regards to his acting he can be described as "punctual".

There are numerous examples of his unprofessional and arrogant behaviour and inability to take direction without getting all defensive and passive aggressive about it.

He did a good job as Kirk in the original series but lost the character in the movies and just became an idealised version of himself.

Lol this post almost feels like trolling for how off base a lot of it is but I don’t think it’s intentional

Terry Farrell - heavily harassed by Rick Burman to the extent that she quit the show

Wil Wheaton - Wesley is generally hated but Wheaton is generally very well loved by the community. He has already reprised the role in Picard.

Jonathan Frakes - generally regarded as the best director in Star Trek, his episodes and movies reflect that

Patrick Stewart - you’re pretty on point

Leonard Nimoy - You’re also on point

Shatner - has basically always been an ass even during the original run of TOS, he is the primary reason why most of the supporting cast barely get to speak and why Spock is generally relegated to being such a secondary role later in the show. I think he’s a big part of why the show so heavily declines in quality in its third season. His performance has generally been heavily panned for being ungrounded and totally over the top, but some would disagree. Nobody is really interested in seeing a 92 year old Shatner guest star on any of the shows.

If anything, Frakes is an extremely underrated director. Even he'll admit he's no Scorsese or Spielberg, but he's a true actors' director and it shows whenever you see something he directs. He got put into Hollywood director jail for Thunderbirds, but of all the problems with that turkey, the directing wasn't one of them.

Well I've never met anyone involved with Star Trek, but my sister's colleague's husband played one of the Edo guys in TNG: Justice, complete with the white mankini. Apparently he's a nice guy lol
