Question on Richard Arnold and his role

[F. King Daniel]

I do remember seeing Star Fleet Battles booklets back in the day and assuming they weren't allowed Kirk because they always had a generic Kirk-ish captain on the covers but it definitely wasn't Shatner.

I'm surprised that nobody has paraphrased Kirk's line to Harry Mudd, in the final scene of "I, Mudd," and called Richard Arnold "an irritant."

The funny thing is now we have multiple references to the Kzinti in modern Star Trek, between the name drop in Picard and the actual Kzinti ensign in Lower Decks.

And now a kzin in IDW's "Ferengi" comic one-shot!

It's funny. I'm coming to this party late, learning about Richard Arnold for the first time on an article about Peter David's final Star Trek issue "Once A Hero" and his clashing with Arnold. What's funny is how Arnold's treatment of tie-in writers sounds like Maurice Hurley's treatment of series writers on TNG while Gene was in charge... stifling creativity in the name of "protecting Gene's vision".
