In a feature by Chris Wyatt for Cinescape Magazine's December 2001 issue, Gene
Roddenberry's dream is talked about by many Star Trek personalities via
their own quotes. Especially since the September 11 terrorist attacks, Gene
Roddenberry's dream can uplift our vision for the future.
"Gene Roddenberry's vision is not only something we can achieve, it's an
idea we've been working towards from the moment the first episode aired in
the '60s," said LeVar Burton.
"Star Trek is like a feedback loop. We watch it and contemplate that future.
Then we subtly, but powerfully, move ourselves in that direction. We dream
it into reality."
John Billingsley supports Burton's optimistic views about the future. "I
know that right now it seems difficult to imagine [the Trek] future ever
coming true," said Billingsley. "But without a message of hope, like the
one Star Trek offers, we'd never even have a chance."
"We can do it," chimed in Garrett Wang. "The bottom line is cooperation."
"Roddenberry's vision included an end to war," says Scott Bakula. "That's an
ideal that I hold dear. And anything that affords us hope will carry us to
our destiny. Even a TV show can give us that if we let it."
