Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: The awful quality of '97-2001 scifi dramas are one reason their leads consid

[quote name="lending their time/voices to gaming"]I honestly don't know if the money was any good or if Weiss was just someone's friend but that wasn't quite the era that gave us a lot of superstar science fiction actors in anything. Star Wars and the original run of Trek were over and done with, TNG was still for nerds, Battlestar Galactica (lol mormons) and Firefly with its Whedon dialogue were years away. The Star Trek franchise was winding down DS9, the one with some depth, and going through the Voyager phase to the Enterprise phase. TV in general was a desert, the Sopranos and the Wire and the West Wing were maybe the most widely watched, well-written shows that had a plot set in the contemporary world.[/quote]
