There was a lot of political stuff, there has been and still is a lot of political stuff going on in the "Star Trek". You can imagine something that has been alive and made for Paramount about two billion dollars, you can image, and several administrations. All of whom, like the government, every four years it seems that the administration at Paramount would change and somebody new would come in and then commit the same mistakes that the previous administration had made because there was no sense of history of what had been accomplished or what steps had been taken. So the same mistakes were repeated time and time again. So there is a lot of politics at "Star Trek", among the management, among the cast and all that kind of thing.
