Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work of Star Trek Creators Outside of Star Trek
Commentary: Trek Stars 148: It's a Real Thing!

Piller, Part 2: Legend.

A mere three months after creating the show which launched the network, UPN debuted Michael Piller's third television show, Legend. The series featured Richard Dean Anderson as a writer in the Old West whose fictional hero comes to life with the help of an inventor played by John de Lancie.

In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John take a look at Piller's first non-Trek show. We discuss the fun tone, de Lancie's under-utilized talent, and the fact that this show actually existed, despite what Max says.
