With everything else that had to be considered before launching Star Trek for the next generation, there was the matter of bridge logistics. In early 1987, Bob Justman found himself ruminating over how the layout of the bridge would dictate what crew could be on hand to drive the plots forward. Larry Nemecek is joined this week by John Champion to discuss Justman's revisions to the TNG bible.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is announced, #TrekNuggets from Destination Star Trek, an interview with Al "Captain Geko" Rivera of Star Trek Online, plus your feedback!

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The Alternate," Odo's dad shows up on Deep Space Nine. Well, his foster dad. Okay, the scientist who studied him from his days as an unrecognizable puddle. Their relationship is full of caring and misunderstanding, like so many scientist/subject relationships. Dr. Mora turns into a controlling father figure who just wants Odo to come home, while Odo turns into a mindless monster who just wants to see his father figure dead. Family - amiright?

As story development proceeded on Star Trek V, Gene Roddenberry butted heads with Harve Bennett over themes of mutiny and religion. Replying to a list of TOS episodes sent by Harve's office, Gene employed Richard Arnold to research those themes in an attempt to steer Harve on a different course. Richard Arnold appears on this week's episode to add context and share background information on the TOS films!
