I lived in the San Francisco East Bay Area in 1986 when this movie was filmed. I also belonged to a local Star Trek fan club, STOBA (Star Trekkers of the Bay Area). We found the phone number for the San Francisco film office, and called early every morning and late every afternoon to get up dates on the filming schedules.

It took us a couple of days, but we finally found them filming at Marina Green in San Francisco. We spent the day there. It was wonderful!

Two of our friends were caught on film walking towards the bathroom, and production assistants chased them down to have them sign releases, in case they made it into the movie. (They did! We were all in the same theater when the movie came out, and we gave them a hard time.)

The wind was very ... windy. Spock's robe kept getting caught up by the wind, and either blowing up front over this face, or back up over his head. Someone finally went over to the nearby fisherman, and bought some fish sinkers; which were sewn into the hem of his robe, and the problem was fixed.

Very enjoyable adventure, first finding where they were filming, then hanging out way in the background, and watching.

Something that really gets me about Benjamin Sisko is the way he’s just carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders at all times. He takes a backwater assignment that promises to be little more than a series of tedious bureaucratic maneuvers and instead ends up commanding the most strategically important station in a major intra-galactic war - and feels an immense amount of personal responsibility for the countless lives lost in battle, as seen in In the Pale Moonlight and The Siege of AR-558. He gets the role of religious figure thrust upon him and suddenly bears the responsibility of foresight and spiritual quests and shaping the future of an entire people who were initially foreign to him.

And he’s so often pulled out of linear time, and burdened with the knowledge and responsibilities of that untimeliness. When he gets trapped in the 21st century, ensuring the entire existence of the Federation - the institution that shaped him and gave him the values he holds dear - rests on his shoulders. In his vision in Far Beyond the Stars, he’s yanked through the fourth wall itself and learns firsthand the symbolic heft that his position as a Black captain on a space station holds, and resolves to continue fighting for the future to fulfill the dreams of Earth’s past. A past that is still, somehow, concurrent or parallel to his own. He gets taken out of sync with linear time and watches his son grow up without him and never be able to move on, and ultimately sacrifice himself to bring him back, and he can never tell Jake about it. Even the depth of his son’s love becomes yet another burden of knowledge for him to carry.

All of that and he is still a man. He is a man who is given the gift of insight that is far beyond what he was previously capable of imagining. He is timeless but he is still a linear being who is denied the rewards of linearity. He saved Bajor but not for himself. I just have a lot of feelings about it!
