Screen Rant : It ’s evident you ’re aStar Trekfan from the love and detail inSon of a Critch ’s endeavor dream sequence . Tell me a bit about yourStar Trekfandom .
Mark Critch : I grow up watch the original serial in repeats . It ’s the first affair I can think being on television ! I commemorate the MEGO Kirk and Spock dame on the pegs in toy dog computer storage as well . I receive a box set of Trek novel one year for Christmas . This was before Wrath of Khan even . I read the comics , watched the movies . engulf it all . I ’ve meet Shatner twice and once wrote a monologue for him for a comedy show . If I did 23 and Me , I reckon I ’d come out 1/8 Vulcan .
Star Trekhas been parodied so many clip onSNL , Futurama , legend of Tomorrow , evenBlack Mirror . What is the headstone to a greatStar Trekhomage ?
Mark Critch : I recall the samara to a good parody is get hold of it seriously . Fans bed every detail . It has to be correct for them to go along with it . I knew that doing a ‘ bump off ’ would n’t ring honest . Why would unseasoned Mark be daydreaming about a show that did n’t exist ? You have to roll in the hay something well to make fun of it . impersonation is the sincerest material body of flattery .
How much does Malcolm McDowell brag about being the one to kill Captain Kirk ? And Kirk still has n’t come back . Picard , Data , and others died and came back . Malcolm did his problem aright .
Mark Critch : Malcolm loves being known as the military personnel who drink down Kirk . I think next to Clockwork Orange , it may be his most famous laurels . When Malcolm McDowell kill you , you remain dead . Even Sherlock Holmes come back from the grave when Arthur Conan Doyle endeavor to kill him off . Malcolm is not a Trekkie though . My favorite story he has is that he thought he had take the phaser he used and that one day it would be invaluable . However , he took a communicator rather . It pays to be a nerd !
Did you keep the Captain ’s chair from the set ?
Mark Critch : The captain ’s chairman is in store . That curing was so salutary that I ’m certain we will have to call in the final frontier again . How could you not ? When I was a child I would stargaze of one day beaming aboard the Enterprise . If you stargaze long enough , I guess they come up true !
