Breaking away from Star Trek a bit, Nicole and Joe welcome Trey Callaway on the show for a chat about the criminally underrated 90s sci-fi series, Mercy Point. Trey was the showrunner of Mercy Point for its seven-episode duration. He also wrote the script for the horror sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and has since gone on to work on a number of television projects such as Revolution, Supernatural, and CSI: New York.
