Larry: Ah, a beautiful Sunday
here on Good Day Sunday everybody, we have Captain Janeway joining us and if you didn't
know, Captain Kirk is retired and is now doing Rescue 911 and...
Kate: Captain Kirk? That was 30 years ago.
Larry: I know...
Kate: Captain Picard, you mean.
Larry: He has too. I'm just goin' down the line
now...I was gonna go down generation after generation after generation. But you have
stepped up onto the command deck you're doing a fine job...
Kate: Thank you very much.
Larry: ...Star Trek Voyager and everything. Have you
settled in nicely with it?
Kate: I love this job. I love this part. It's the only
role on primetime television that I think has the humanity, the nobility, the absurdity...
and it's a great privilege to play the first female captain... Now I'm gonna take a sun
tan back to the Delta Quadrant. What'll you think they'll do? That'll scare 'em. It's
beautiful here in the park.
Larry: Well, you guys are already into what, the
second season and now you're season finale's coming up. You've already filmed that.
Kate: We're moving into our fourth season. The season
finale airs..
Larry: Ya see my hair's gettin' gray. It's all
happening too fast for me, Kate.
Kate: It really is... The season finale airs this
Wednesday, the twenty-first, and I believe part two will air, I'm just reading, actually,
off your cheat sheet, at the end of August, which evidently is quite unusual. This is a
scary one. It's the re-introduction or the introduction of the Borg and for the Trekkers
out there who are in the know, this will be quite a terrifying concept because I believe
that we are about to welcome a half-borg/half-human person onto our ship for the duration
of this journey.
Larry: That was a big part of the earlier episodes and
also of the recent movie, the Borg creature, a terrifying...
Kate: Did you see the movie?
Larry: Yes, I did.
Kate: Did you like it?
Larry: I love it. Well, I'm a big Trekkie.
[Kate smiles]
Larry: One thing I wanted to ask you is the movie roles too. Are you guys gonna now
step into that? Are they going to start introducing Captain Janeway into the movies now?
Kate: I think you should say that to camera and you
should address all of my executive producers and let's do this right now...
Larry: Well, they're all, ya know, sitting back there
saying 'Let's see what Larry Hoff has to say about the Star Trek series...'
Kate: I hope so.
Larry: '...and moving them to movies.'
Kate: Never say never and never say die. I certainly
do hope so. I'd like to get up there. Doesn't somebody have to die? Doesn't a captain have
to die for another captain to take over.
Larry: They're able to resurrect anybody at any time,
now. You guys have done so well, I mean, you've basically elevated an entire network, UPN,
on to the map because you guys have been that foundation for them to...
Kate: We're their flagship show, that's true, and
we're delighted to be that, you know, gives us a b anchor.
Larry: OK, let's take a look, right now, at the season
finale. What's it called?
Kate: We're going to see the whole finale?
Larry: Yeah, we're going to air it right now... we've
got time galore on Good Day Sunday.
Kate: This is 'Scorpion', Part One.
Larry: All right.
[clip begins]
Janeway: Did we sustain any damage?
Harry: No. Shields held. Warp engines are coming back on line. All primary
systems are stable.
Janeway: Stand down Red Alert. Harry, maintain a long-range sensor lock on
that Borg armada. They seemed to be in quite a hurry, didn't they? I'd like to know what
they're up to.
Harry: Yes, Ma'am.
Janeway: I'll take this near miss as a good omen. Resume our course, Mr.
Paris.
Chakotay: If we needed any more evidence that we've entered Borg space, I
think we just got it.
Janeway: I'll be in my ready room.
[clip ends]
Larry: Well Kate, we're... It was so dazzling, it blacked out our TV right
there. [Kate laughing] I was riveted by that. I was riveted by it. Well, tell everybody,
turn in to UPN, 9 if you want to watch Star Trek: Voyager. Now, have you been accepted as
a Captain of a Starship?
