Great link! If you want to know how the sausage is made on Star Trek or, honestly, any scripted TV series, I highly recommend David Gerrold’s book about the making of the famous episode he wrote, The Trouble With Tribbles. Along with an annotated script, he goes into great detail about how TV production works and how lines of his were cut or new lines were added by Gene and others (the “no tribble at all” line that Scotty ends the episode with was not his and he hated it). It’s really worth a read. I have the original paperback, but it looks like he has a new edition, both print and ebook, out.
I’ll be honest I was more interested in the story reasoning from Moore than anything else. And while I make sausage for a living, I love production-inside baseball talk. Especially trek-production-inside baseball talk/stories.
Cause I went looking:
