It took considerable convincing from Bob Justman for Roddenberry to go with Stewart. I've never read anything where Roddenberry has praised Stewart after he was hired. Perhaps Roddenberry did grow to like Stewart before Roddenberry died, but I am not aware of any evidence. Henrik, if you need to know who my anonymous interview subject was, then I'll tell you. It was Tom Cruise. Henrik, if they had found any other suitable candidate, Stewart would have been out. It took considerable convincing from Bob Justman for Roddenberry to go with Stewart.

INITIALLY. why Roddenberry INITIALLY didn’t want Stewart as the Next Generation captain. It doesn't count when you're being anonymous. Confessions? More like "I wish I could about this with people, but I'm too scared so I'll write an anonymous webpage about it". You should not be scared of being exposed, it is what life is about. Accept everything about yourself, all things good and all things evil, expose them accurately along with the goods and evils of the rest of your known world, and you will be an artist. But it all starts with your own. Deliver unto your audience yourself, no holds barred. “why Roddenberry didn’t want Stewart as the Next Generation captain.”
