I really want to ask Brent Spiner what it was like to work with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in Out to Sea.

I've only ever attended one of these things and it was Nimoy's because everybody said he was retiring that year. It was fun but not overly entertaining. More like a bunch of fans worshipping their idol, trying not to be overly Trekkies but politely asking him about his other works like playing Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway etc. One crazy fan tried to give him a script and he came out with the standard: "I am not accepting any material at this time".
I think the ones where it's just the one guest and the audience are all kind of boring and non-insightful in that way. The fans line up at the mic and ask questions and the guest might have a few things to say but they are usually tangential to what fans actually want to hear.
From what you've said, I think you really should goto this one though because it's the ones where a bunch of cast members are together on stage that they start making fun of each other or telling old stories and everything just comes out because they are interacting with their buddies instead of a bunch of nerds in the audience all staring at their proverbial gods. I've seen clips where 3-4 people are together and they are pretty great but nobody has ever had the entire TNG cast at once (minus Whoopi and Meany). That's pretty insane if you think about it. It's usually just some dudes from Voyager and a guy who played a Klingon once.
