I can die happily now.
I made Gates McFadden laugh and brought up The Bonding. Oh I also got a pic with Wayne Knight/Newman/Dennis Nedry. Solid weekend

Well, if you can't get Ken Jenkins, I guess Gates will do in a pinch
Welcome to the con circuit! Enjoy!
Doesn't she go by Cheryl? Gates is just a stage name she used for acting.
If I met Tom Cruise, I wouldn’t say “I met Thomas Cruise Mapother IV”, I’d say the name I and most of the world know him as.
Simply beautiful
That’s so awesome I swear I think she’s your hero……I’m so jelly right now
Aww man! That's awesome! :O Congratulations!!!
Amazing!!!!
Thank You! I must never forget how much the cast of Star Trek mean to me. 💖
It's crazy to me that like a year ago, you had no idea who this woman was. How far we've come.
What no picture with Diane Muldar? 😂
🤯
That is excellent news Alex. Very cool that you got the autograph for both yourself and Josh. Was it Gates' idea or yours to cleverly work the title of an episode which was centered around her?
I brought up how we love Remember Me, then she wrote that on her own.
That’s amazing! I need to meet these people too. I went to conventions 30+ years ago, but haven’t been back in a long time
Love it! Remember Me...!!!
Amazing, man!
Anyone who doesn’t know Gates was the choreographer on the David Bowie movie Labyrinth!
That’s awesome! I love Gates! Maybe more than Dr.C!?
I hope you told her that you occasionally wrestle as Kirk & Riker
Maybe that fact is what made her laugh.
😁🙌😁🙌😁
What an awesome double feature. Wayne Knight is such an underrated actor. Did Gates remember the Bonding? I always feel like if I were an actor in a tv show there would be so many episodes I forgot about.
Very cool! I would have loved to meet both of them!
Awesome! So happy you got to meet her!
“Newman!”
So cool, Alex! Gates McFadden is a class act. I've met her through her work with the Ensemble Studio Theatre West in Los Angeles. She once worked with a playwright friend of mine, and when he asked her to autograph a headshot for me, she drew a cat face over hers and wrote: "Free Physicals in Sick Bay. Love, Gates." I will always love her. :)
Wil Wheaton has always called her his space mom.
So they finally met Alex. A day to remember for both. Seriously though, delighted for you, Alex.
The Dr is in! Very cool I have yet to meet any of the cast of any of the shows.
I met Shatner, but I was so stupidly nervous all I could manage was good afternoon sir!
Hey, your favorite Klingon, nice
"Don't forget to Remember Me" - Perfect 😄
Was she aware of TA and your Trek reactions?
Hello Newman and Dr. Crusher
McFadden AND Newman, whoa!
Wow! That is fantastic! Double-scored! Happy for you, Alex.
What about Diana Muldaur? :P
I suspect that would have to be a different event
Did you show her your tap dancing skills
So happy for you!
That's amazing!
Is that Dodson? Did we get Dodson here!?
You done good, Lad.
When a boy meets his crush. 😂 Glad you got this opportunity.
Nice!
Wayne Knight? You mean Officer Don?
“The way he wears his hat The way he sips his tea The memory of all that No, no, they can't take that away from me.”
NO WAY!! Kudos, Alex.
So happy for you dude!
Wonderful!
Try to meet the ds9 crew, they are getting no younger and we already lost some greats 😭😭😭😭
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo or video of you looking as happy as that. Gleeful even. Now you’ve gotta get to the Chief somehow but today’s Dr Crusher Day and you’ve bossed it.
Happy for you and a little bit jealous
Awesome
Very cool
Is the other guy Newman?
Josh must have envy!
Indeed - Josh
I had thought about going to Galaxycon in Raleigh this weekend but decided against it
Love it
Did she give any spoilers? 😛
😆 You’d think there would be funny things she might like to discuss with fans! 🥀 And he may have had to preface we’re not done yet!
Awesome!
That’s awesome!
Awesome Alex! Did you say hey gates just remember if there’s nothing wrong with you, there must be something wrong with the universe 😂
Hope she didn’t spoil anything up coming
Nice!
