Voyager's Roxann Dawson Had A Chance To Direct Star Trek But Dropped It For Another Show - /Film

Roxann Dawson was an actor on Star Trek: Voyager before she became a TV director, although she's never actually directed a Star Trek episode.

Interesting extract from a longer /Film interview with in-demand director Roxann Dawson.

I appreciate how she speaks with respect for the shows of the new era.

    And it’s a quite nice little episode. Foundation really got good in its second season.

      Second season is so boring I barely got through first two episodes over a week because I kept falling asleep watching them. I really hope it picks up in E3.

        I think I have never disagreed with anyone more in my life then you and your post.

          I’m actually a little jealous. That must be an awesome life :-)

        The entire show is a crazy mess IMHO. But then I didn’t really enjoy the books either, so I must be a subhuman. Commence the downvotes! I’ll show myself out.

        (It is nice to get an update on Dawson’s career though and I’m excited to see she made the jump to directing - never knew that).

        The first 2 episodes are unwatchable but it gets better.

        But those first 2, I do not blame you 1 bit, ep3 isn’t much better but by ep4 it starts not being garbage.
