Her character's a lot bigger, she's going to be a lot more important character in the
movie, and we'd like to pay her less money than we paid her for the first one.
*Laughter* And it was like...
So I queried it, and I said "How does that make any sense?".
(right) And then it was like OK we get it, you don't want to do it.
Www I, I mn, mn, you lost me on that ss, du, eh, go back.
Captain Jean Luc Picard I wish I could say you've been like a father to me,
but I'm gonna die if I'm standing on this you know, br... up on this console
and just watching Patrick's bald head.
*Laughter* You know, and going, you know, aye aye Captain.
I struggled with the whole writing of my character of Tasha Yar.
I mean I, I think that they had a great idea
that they didn't really uhm know what to do with it.
Yeah I mean you know I, my experience for the most part was just, you know how tight
can they make my uniform look *Laughter* and how great my tits looked, you know I mean, that
that was basically the, the *Laughter* Those words were actually said to me.
(God) So uhm I found it, you know not a great place to be for me in that, in that environment,
but you know that's Hollywood, it's, I'm certainly not the only actress.
As a matter of fact, truth be told, what was going to happen was they were gonna let Marina go
at the end of 1st season, and they let Gates go, so I essentially was gonna be the only one,
and then I left, and then they were like "Oh God OK now what do we do?"
So it changed, and that's from Marina telling me, I did not know that.
This is a deep clean, something most teeth have never felt, something you can feel now.
Introducing colgate baking soda and peroxide with tartar control.
Feel the deep clean of baking soda peroxide and tartar control tingling deep in tiny crevaces
between teeth and along the gum line.
You and your dentist will agree it's a deep clean that's truly monumental.
New colgate baking soda and peroxide.
Feel the colgate deep clean.
Worf was not gonna be, he was gonna be.
Uhm, and then he was like on my shoulder.
(yeah) Like who are you? and I'm security, but who are you?
When they hired him I think it was just eh basically to see how it would turn out.
Eh but once he, they saw him on film, and they saw how, how I was portraying him, they
probably discovered that boy the character is wide open, you know, he can, he can do
just about anything, and eh his presence is, is felt immediately.
Immediately you're drawn to the size, you're drawn to the makeup,
you know the whole, the whole nine yards.
You know the original concept for Counsellor Troi was very much a kind of Icelandic uhm co...
eh cool, mysterious kind of unemotional character, and was descriptively tailored more for, you
know how I looked and how I could, would, would play her.
The the description for Tasha Yar was uhm eh like a little fire plug, you know dark
and uhm eh, you know tough, and kind of I think based more around the, the, the character
of uhm eh Vasquez I think her name.
Aliens.
One of the great eh scenes that I ever read sadly was never filmed,
and that was my audition scene for Tasha Yar.
It was a scene in which she was, she was uhm sent to counsellor Troi for actual counselling.
She was very eh upset, and she was struggling with her position on the bridge, she felt
unentitled to it, and undeserving.
Perhaps yes it would've, it would've changed to my you know benefit eh but, but who, who,
who could've possibly have seen that?
Yesterday's Enterprise opened the door for me thinking about Sela, and I'm the one who
came up with the idea of Sela, because I uhm what my original idea was that Yar, and it Sela
would be Yar and Castillo's child, so that's the idea I pitched.
Story arc would be that she would eventually find out about her mother, and be maybe perhaps
a bridge to peace with the Romulans, so that's what I pitched to Rick Berman, and he kinda
went "Interesting, let me think about it and I'll get back to you", so I thought OK well
you know typical Hollywood, you'll never hear from him again, and then he, he called me
up like months later and he said "You know we're gonna go with that idea,
but we're gonna change it a little bit so that Tasha was you know
captured by a Romulan General and, and has a child.
Are you alright sir?
Sir?
Have you been thinking about Tasha Yar all these thirty years?
You have been haven't you.
It brought up a hard time because there were a lot of rumours that, that I was, I was turning
up my nose at television, and turning up my nose at, at, at that job,
and it just certainly wasn't true.
