In addition to Krinn, he talks about 12 MONKEYS, FRINGE, OZ... Acevedo is a big genre fan, and has strong opinions on Denis Villeneuve's DUNE.

In an earlier draft of 306, the genesis device was activated on Daystrom Station!

He has a few quite diplomatic answers about Disco-Klingons and Alex Kurtzman's role in season 3 as well.

What did he say about these things? I watched about 30 minutes of the interview last week but don't have time to watch it all.

Those are in response to superchat questions.

The Disco-Klingons come up at about 1:46:50... it's mainly the other guests offering different theories to potentially explain the difference. One of the hosts is then able to pivot to talking about Michael Dorn having to get used to the makeup and teeth at the beginning of TNG.

Kurtzman wise, he just says Kurtzman was supportive of what they wanted to do with the season.

works fine here in Canada.

That was fun video. Laforge having a family was LaVar's idea. Terry asked him if there was anything he wanted, and he just wanted a healthy relationship with women. He hated that Geordi in TNG was always this awkward guy with bad luck with women.

He's on for the first two hours. Some really interesting insights into how he was playing Shaw, like that Picard and Riker "poked the bear" during the First Contact with the Borg, that Shaw abhors violence but will fight when necessary, he'd always put himself in the line of fire to protect his crew, and more. Also has some comments on the potential writers strike (he lost his house because of the 2007 one).

(co-writer of 209 and writer of 308) about "Surrender", including why T'Veen was killed off, the importance of Spot, that Troi was joking about the Changeling imposter, and getting the TNG-7 in one room.

And now for some season 1 representation... in cooperation with CBS All Access, Deadline (now part of the Variety-Hollywood Reporter-Deadline Penske media trifecta) produced a podcast aftershow for each episode. Akiva Goldsman and Michael Chabon are frequent guests.

Apple Podcast link to each episode...

I am team Android and hate Apple Podcast links... but... almost everyone on Team Android knows how to use an Apple Podcast link, so...
 
Also available on Spotify.
Also in my pod catcher.
Not JUST an Apple podcast.
Imagine there’s an RSS feed you can leach onto as well.

Omg how have I missed this show??? My internet experience has always been pretty much text based, but perhaps it is time for me to expand in to audio visual experiences such as this.

(this wasn't a live stream, so it flows better at around 45 minutes and you don't have awkward superchat interruptions). Tretta talks about getting started in indie horror films then joining 12 MONKEYS for his first staff writer job. In between 12 MONKEYS and PICARD season 3, he was on MAYANS MC.
  • Tretta joined PICARD after signing a deal with CBS. He wasn't a Star Trek fan, but had seen the films.
  • CBS really wanted them to stay on budget after the earlier seasons went over, and they tried to limit each episode's script to 40 pages.
  • Being able to recreate the Enterprise-D bridge wasn't a given with their budget constraints.
  • Shaw was always fated to die to set up Seven taking command of the Titan, but they considered having Shaw be the one executed on the bridge by Vadic in 308.
  • He didn't intend any political allegory to the under 25 plot point.
  • One plan they considered was having the Borg Cube come out of the transwarp conduit from season 2 and blow up the Borgati ship, but they pulled back.
The interview doesn't cover it. but his wife, Tiffany Shepis, played Dr. Ohk.

They should have had the softened for modern day viewers Borgati wiped out by this cube.
