Interesting extract from a longer /Film interview with in-demand director Roxann Dawson.

I appreciate how she speaks with respect for the shows of the new era.

    I had the same panic. That’s not even the title of the article (‘Voyager’s Roxann Dawson Had A Chance To Direct Star Trek But Dropped It For Another Show’) so, unless the website changed it, you have to wonder what OP was doing writing it that way.

      OP isn’t American. It’s not a universal euphemism.

      Even having lived in the US at one point it’s not an automatic connection.

      Canadians (at least in my experience) use the expression ‘passed away’ if at all to avoid saying ‘died.’

      But also being Canadian, I’ve given my regrets elsewhere on this thread. And I’m sorry for the unintended shock to any and all who don’t share my dialect.
