David Orange is fondly remembered as the sleepy (and likely inebriated) Klingon at the observation post in Star Trek VI. He joins Hungry Trilobyte to recall his time on the set, telling a funny story about Leonard Nimoy, and waxing philosophical on what makes great science fiction. David is an accomplished novelist and screenwriter, and the two of us also discuss two of his projects, one of which was inspired by his time on Star Trek, the other being a novel titled Below Level 7. He gives a very compelling taste by hinting at the story of alien abduction, Area 51, and Adrenochrome.
