STAR TREK actor Walter Koenig talks to Wired Magazine about his return to the role of Pavel Chekov in an upcoming episode of STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES online series. In "To Serve All My Days", written by D.C. Fontana, the younger Chekov is suddenly aged and has to deal with living out his twilight years
"This was the episode I never got to play and never would get to play," Koenig says. "I've never had the opportunity to do something that required more than reading off Warp Factor numbers on the navigation console." "I don't mean to be morbid, but I did have a quadruple bypass 13 years ago," Koenig says. "This might be a really good wrap for my career." Since Paramount is not producing new STAR TREK at the moment, Koenig said "Paramount is licking its wounds. But that doesn't mean the people can't rise up and defend STAR TREK. In the absence of the ruling class, the peasantry has picked up their pitchforks and shovels and gone into battle." "To Serve All My Days" will likely be released in January The full article, which contains quotes from the NEW VOYAGES team and spoilers for "To Serve All My Days" and the first photo of Koenig as Chekov in the episode, can be found here http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.12/startrek.html. http://trekweb.com/articles/2005/12/08/439821434ecd8.shtml STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES online series http://www.newvoyages.com/ --------------------------------- Yahoo!
