And what is his reaction to the news that the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror is giving the TNG cast a Lifetime Achievement Award? I’ve got the answers to these questions and more in my first interview of 2024.

With Gene Roddenberry relegated to a consultant role on the Star Trek feature films, the “Great Bird” still had strong opinions about the shape of each sequel. In the first part of our look at a memo from 1983, Gene lays out his concerns around keeping Trek’s format intact and his problems with destroying the Enterprise.
