How much do suggestions from fans influence Star Trek? In late 1986, during pre-production on The Next Generation, this 11-point memo from Gene Roddenberry circulated among the staff. In it, a consensus of ideas from a recent convention gave food for thought as the plans for a new Star Trek series took shape.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Distant Voices," Dr. Bashir has voices in his head that happen to sound and look like his crewmates. They're a little different though: they bicker with him and each other, they distract him and they stay the same while Julian ages rapidly. Is it all just in his head, or is the doctor's life being threatened?

Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
