Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Inaugural Asshole Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Q: What makes an asshole versus just a villain or just a jerk?
An asshole is charismatic and tends to thwart the hero without having a significant overarching plan, while a villain typically has a goal and is someone you want to follow.
Brent Spiner and John de Lancie – September 2022 – CONversations with Craig
Q: What was it like to bring Q back to life as an animated character as Discord in My Little Pony?
When I read the script, it vibrated with an Oscar Wilde quality, and I approached the role with that essence.
Brent Spiner and John de Lancie – September 2022 – CONversations with Craig
Q: Could you talk about your last day on Picard, and how difficult was it for you to take on this role again 30 years later?
It wasn't difficult to take on the role, as I aimed to ensure it wasn't a recreation but rather a unique experience.
The Conversation
Q: What's your relationship to The Conversation?
This is the first time I've seen it in close to 25 years, and I remembered much less than I thought.
The Conversation
Q: So what did you think of the character of Harry Call?
I didn't like Harry at all. I didn't find him very palatable, he treats his girlfriend like garbage.
