Wil Wheaton has stated about directors, "most of them favored grabbing me by the elbow and moving me around the set, rather than, you know, giving me direction like I was a person or a professional or anything like that. ... but Rob Bowman, who directed this episode ["Where No One Has Gone Before"], actually treated me really well." and "Rob Bowman directed me to be as mature as I was capable of being when I was just 14."
