Charting Strange New Worlds
b'It\\u2019s not often that I\\u2019m watching a TV show and I think, \\u201cI should ask the writers about that.\\u201d Luckily, I was in the same undergraduate film program as Henry Alonso Myers and Bill Wolkoff, who are writers and producers on the Star Trek series Strange New Worlds, and they were happy to chat. We cover the challenge of telling new stories about legacy characters like Spock and Uhura, the need for Star Trek to stay politically relevant, why Captain Pike is really into cooking and hijinks are the most logical course of action during a Vulcan courtship.\\nThis episode is sponsored by NordVPN.
