It was also nice to see interviews with Nimoy.
The interview parts with Andrew Robinson was really good, I was actually surprised to see Beltran appear and in the end talk positively about his time with Voyager. But he also hinted that when he was younger he liked to go the conventions because he got laid alot.

Beltran was one of the interviews I really liked, as you said, aside from the 'Conventions bit' *awkward collar tug* because I liked that he approached it from a perspective that most general people can relate to.
It was a good-paying, stable, relatively fun job that influenced his life for the better.
A steady, stable and enjoyable job in show business is hard to come by and it seems that he used that platform to become personally and financially stable and set himself up for a pretty good life.
So overall, it had a positive effect on his life and he embraced that.
It gets a little tiring hearing from Star Trek cast members who constantly crap on the show because its a pokey Sci-Fi show that doesnt carry a lot of prestige in Hollywood.
Like I care what Hollywood thinks.
Shatner did it and eventually came around when he realized that he wasnt going to be Hollywood royalty. Same with Nimoy who kept on trying to leave but constantly kept coming back for 'artistic reasons' although the steady paycheque and lack of other work probably played a significant factor as well.
Same with Crosby and on and on and on you can go. Constantly people bitching about the Golden Goose that butters their bread.
