00:00As a Star Trek fan, I was pleasantly surprised to see Gates McFadden is voicing Mother Ascani.
00:05What made her such a good fit for the role?
00:08I mean, you hear it in her voice.
00:10I didn't realize that I was always hearing Gates McFadden's voice with any Mother Ascani stuff,
00:15any sort of old Rachel Summer stuff.
00:18I don't remember whose idea it was.
00:20I'm pretty sure it was most likely Bo's idea.
00:23But we reached out to her, and it was almost like a resounding yes.
00:27Like, yes, I want to come play in the sandbox.
00:29And, dude, she delivered.
00:33I mean, you know, her performances, albeit brief, in that ending,
00:36like, she wanted to do Mother Ascani justice, and that was cool.
00:39Like, man, Star Trek wants to do X-Men justice.
00:42We're getting paid to be here right now?
00:44This is cool.
00:46You know, so, like, it was a real joy and pleasure for that.
00:50And any sort of fan of Rachel Summers or Mother Ascani in that, you know, right,
00:56I look forward to what they want to look at in Season 2.
