The Fandom Interview Archive: A Treasure Trove Of Trek Star Interviews
We first heard of an interview series called "The Fandom" in the spring of 2005, right around the time "Enterprise" was drawing to a close. Also, during the mad fan rush to save the show and drum up support for a fifth season. Unfortunately that never happened, and Captain Archer and crew sailed off for their final show that year.
The interview series, hosted by Chase Masterson, was a intimate glimpse into the lives of Trek stars and series crew. What was particularly interesting at the time, was hearing the "Enterprise" crew reaction to being canceled as well as their reaction to the unyielding fan support.
"The Fandom" ran for a year, from November 2004 to November 2005, with at least three interviews a month, not counting the beginning and ending months. Mostly featuring Trek stars, the series also interviewed other SciFi genre stars like Joss Whedon, Bruce Campbell, and a handful of Stargate stars. We've often thought about the series and wondered what happened to the archive of interviews. With a bit of luck and our friend Google, we've found the almost the entire series. Over at Chase Masterson's official fan club website they have nearly ever interview, with the exception of Armin Shimerman, Garrett Wang, Tim Russ, and Paul McGillion. A total of 41 interviews in all.
