Denise Crosby played Tasha Yar in the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. After leaving as a series regular, Crosby returned to the show periodically to play Yar and her Romulan descendent Sela. And in 1997 she collaborated with director Roger Nygard on Trekkies, acting as narrator and co-producer on the trailblazing documentary that took a serious look at the phenomenon of Star Trek fandom. The film was a hit, spawning a sequel (Trekkies 2) in 2004.

This week Shout! Factory is releasing the 25th anniversary edition of Trekkies restored on HD for Blu-ray and VOD. And TrekMovie spoke to Crosby about Trekkies 25 years later, how fandom has (and hasn’t) changed, and how she feels about that TNG reunion on Star Trek: Picard.
