On July 13, SAG-AFTRA went on strike, walking off film and television sets and joining the WGA in demanding a square deal from producers. Nearly two months later, that deal seems as distant as ever. You know Michelle Hurd from her work as Raffi on Star Trek: Picard, but you may also know that she is the Vice President of SAG-AFTRA. She joined me to talk about the ongoing strike and the upcoming United We Trek event.

WHAT: United We Trek!

WHEN: September 8, 2023 from 9:30 am – 12 pm

WHERE: In LA: 5433 Melrose Ave. or in NYC: 1515 Broadway

While Star Trek: The Animated Series was winding down, Gene Roddenberry was developing what might have been his next animated sci-fi series (with a healthy dose of Star Trek influence). In our season finale, Aaron Walt joins The Trek Files again to discuss Gene’s vision for “Starship” and the many parallels to getting an animated to fly today.
