Onstage, Robbie spoke about his new career as a director and responded to questions from the fans about life on the set of Voyager. While most of the stories were familiar tales, like the story of how "Captain Proton's" malfunctioning rocket pack literally burned Robbie's buns, one fan's question about life as an actor and a director elicited one of Robbie's special memories.

Robbie recalled how Kate Mulgrew encouraged him when he began to doubt his directing ability during the filming of "Sacred Ground," the second season episode that marked Robbie's debut as a director. He recounted how, after a particularly difficult day of filming, she came into his trailer, wrapped her hands around his, looked him in the eye, and told him, in her inimitable way, "You are a director." She went on to inform him that she knew directors, and that she knew he would go on to be one of the most successful directors to come out of the Paramount training program.

Robbie also offered his own take on why the producers of Voyager didn't bring back Nick Locarno, the bad boy cadet of TNG's "The First Duty," to fill the role eventually filled by Tom Paris. He discounted reports that the producers of Voyager did not use the Nick Locarno because the producers felt that Locarno could not be redeemed. Robbie told the Las Vegas crowd that it was all about the money: adopting Nick Locarno as a regular character would have meant paying the writers of "The First Duty" a large residual for the run of Voyager. Rather than pay up, Paramount renamed the character and tweaked his background for the new series.

Once the last autograph was signed and the final photo taken, it was a quick run for the airport and a flight bound for Los Angeles, where Robbie was due on the set of Desperate Housewives to direct the series' fourth episode for the 2005-2006 season.
