This is my philosophy since 'Star Trek' and 'Battlestar': You have to be willing to have fandom hate what you're doing or love it and not care either way on a certain level, because you cannot become a slave to their emotion or their vote. It's not a democracy, as I'm always fond of saying.

There was definitely a sense that 'The Next Generation' was the 'Star Trek' stepchild that nobody liked.

'Generations,' we slaved over for a year; we worked it over and over and over again, and in the end, it just fell short.
