Excerpts
I saw Diane primarily as a mentor – she gave us a lot of encouragement and advice. She used to joke about the fact in later years that she actually gave us the stamps so we could post out our first newsletter. She was always a source of information as she knew Gene Roddenberry personally. She was a bit like a mentor and a friend and a good source of information.
...something like Michael Straczynski, Babylon 5, someone who has some fresh ideas and is a science fiction writer should actually come in and write some new ideas from a fresh angle. The new stuff is too formulated and does not boldly go like the original series tried to.
