Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
Found out about this about an hour ago.
It's all very very sad and unsavoury from both him and his ex wife.
Never had Collins down as a kiddie fiddler. Not sure TMP will be on my evening viewing list anytime soon after this.

I hope his victims aren't lastingly messed up. That's one Trek movie ruined.

Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
I don't mean to make light of this, but my first thought when I heard this news was that I remember this cheesy MFTV movie. He played a dad who had an affair with his teenage babysitter (played by Keri Russell), and I couldn't help but think about art imitating life.
Of course, that's not to say that one lead to the other, but at the very least it seems a tad more than coincidental. And I only remember that movie because I saw the commercial and was thrilled to see Decker on screen again, as this movie was before 7th Heaven.
Edit: Snipped a case of mistaken casting!

I won't let one actors personal failures ruin a movie.

Obviously, I'll be keeping my eye on this. Hopefully, whatever comes out won't impact my enjoyment of TMP.

Holy s**t. Never would I have suspected.

That's my opinion. I still like Ferris Bueler's Day Off, despite Jeffrey Jones' nasty photography (for that matter, I liked him particularly in Deadwood; was surprised to see him working again).

Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
As disturbing as Jones' stuff was, I think Collins' was worse. Jones' victims were at least teenagers, so it's less creepy, and he didn't touch the victims, just looked at them. That's my understanding, anyway.
Collins actually raped* victim after victim after victim, all of them children, under the age of 13. Who knows how badly he messed up the lives of those victims?
* Yes, rape. An 11 year old can't give consent for something like that, and it sounds like he groomed them. It's fucking disgusting.

I don't think anyone is arguing that Collins is somehow above the law. Nor that he should escape punishment for his crimes. I just refuse to let the douche ruin a 35-year old movie that I happen to enjoy.

There are hundreds of actors who appeared on Star Trek. There are bound to be a few rotten apples among them.
I'll try to not let it spoil TMP. OJ didn't spoil Capricorn One for me, so I think I'll manage.

Agree. Separate the art from the artist.

Unfortunate.
It appears the behavior in question is well in the past so I hope the victims have found some peace.

I think you're confusing Keri Russell(TV's "Felicity" which I never watched) with Dina Meyer ("Starship Troopers"...Batgirl...and "Star Trek: Nemesis").

Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
Oh man, you're right. There's just something about women with high cheekbones.
Plus, I've tried to forget Nemesis anyway.

Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
I always thought Decker looked a little pervy when he was saying "Forward motion, Captain." Now I have to wonder what he was thinking about.
Hell yes Capricorn One!

Re: Stephen Collins (Decker from TMP) investigated for child molestati
So there's ANOTHER reason not to watch it, anyway....
Really? That's the main detraction for you regarding that movie?
