When Deep Space Nine‘s Nana Visitor was approached about writing Star Trek: Open A Channel: A Woman’s Trek about the women in Star Trek, the original idea pitched to her was that she’d do short interviews to work into a picture-filled coffee table book. When she started doing interviews, the concept changed to something deeper: a look at female Trek characters, yes, but also a deep dive into the actresses who played them and they times they lived in. We reviewed the book when it came out, then spoke to her in depth about her experience writing it and how it affected her. Here is the final section of that extended and frank conversation, where she talks about the current batch of Star Trek shows and the progress that’s been made over the decades.

At New York Comic Con, TrekMovie spoke with Mike McMahan in a roundtable interview with other media outlets, where the Lower Decks show creator and showrunner talked about what to expect in the show’s fifth and final season, the legacy character he wanted to add to the show but couldn’t, the way he views multiverses, and more. [WARNING: Interview contains some spoilers] So the fifth and final season is coming up… Can you give us some hints of what to expect this season?
