Star Trek on Paramount+ October 8, 2022ĭAN: Yes, but – I got 3 of them, and they’re already all gone.
#Trek full stache free#
Today's the day! attendees, get your free Murf plush at the #StarTrekProdigy pop-up! Find it at the inner roadway while supplies last. KAPLAN: Did you get a Murf plushie at NYCC? And he’s known for playing the most hardass, tough villain guys. KEVIN: You know what’s great, when we record with Ronny, he’s just like, the nicest guy in the world. The list was like, there’s 3 characters… and when we saw Jellico’s name, we were like, “Oh, that’s easy.” That was actually really easy to come to that, because we were talking about, “Who in this time period would be an Admiral who would be above Janeway?”ĭAN: I think we actually went out and got a list of who were the active admirals at that time. KAPLAN: What went into the decision to bring back Jellico?ĭAN: We had to find, “who could shut Admiral Janeway down?” And then we were like, “It’s gotta be Jellico.” It’s very different, someone who grew up on Star Trek: The Next Generation versus, I more or less grew up on Star Trek: The Original Series. KEVIN: And also, with the crew or writers that we have that like Star Trek, they like different shows. Because we know our audience were going to be on both sides: people who knew Star Trek and people who didn’t know Star Trek. We wanted people who knew Star Trek up and down and also people who didn’t know Star Trek up and down, and having great conversations. We were like, “We’ve got to get him into the room.”ĭAN: For the writer’s room, we’re very proud of our writer’s room. But then he wrote a script that just knocked our shoes off. He started on our desk, and we were going to move him up to writer’s assistant.
KAPLAN: What’s it like working with the next generation of talent, both in terms of actors and behind the scenes (with the youngest staff writer ever to work on a Trek series)?ĭAN: (Writer) Keith Sweet, he’s fantastic. But you love Tommy Lee Jones, he’s not a bad guy – he’s just trying to hunt down this runaway.

Right away, Dan and I said, “This is sort of like The Fugitive.” That was a movie that we loved seeing Harrison Ford versus Tommy Lee Jones.
KEVIN: You love both sides, right? Even though Admiral Janeway is going to be an antagonist, she’s not a villain. So therefore, how’s it going to come to a conclusion? You understand the kid’s position, but you also understand Admiral Janeway’s position. And that’s what I love having in Star Trek: Prodigy. What I love about The Wire was there were smart people on both sides of the argument. KAPLAN: Can you speak to the idea of having a Janeway on both sides of the generational conflict?ĭAN: I think everybody would want a Janeway on their side, first off.ĭAN: So it feels like, you’re not quite sure… I’m a big fan of The Wire. We’ll have two Janeways! This is going to be amazing. KEVIN: And then we thought, well, god, we’ll have two Kate Mulgrews. KEVIN: In the middle of the movie, the action or the story starts to escalate, right? And so, what is going to be the greatest obstacle – what’s the wedge that’s going to get in the way of what our kids most want, which is to get to Starfleet? What if Starfleet is hunting them down?ĭAN: And Starfleet is at risk! The one thing you want is the one thing you can’t have. KEVIN HAGEMAN: It’s almost like a miniseries that we’re doing with these 20 episodes.ĭAN: We’re thinking about episode 10, we’re thinking about episode 20, before we even write episode 2. Kevin and I do a lot of feature writing, so when we look at episode 1 through 20, we’re thinking of that as more of a movie structure than a television structure. What we want to bring you is a great big adventure sequence – I know that was a goal. KAPLAN: Without spoilers, can you give our readers a tease of what your goals were when writing the midseason premiere?ĭAN: Speaking of episode 11, some time has passed. But, to see that growth, that’s why we think Dal / Brett Gray is the perfect person for that role. So someone who seeks the captain’s chair, in our opinion, is someone who is undeserving of the captain’s chair. What about people who start the worst of the worst? When we went into the show, Star Trek’s always been about the best of the best. AVERY KAPLAN: Why is Dal / Brett Gray perfect for the captain’s role on Prodigy?ĭAN HAGEMAN: I think it starts with him thinking he’s perfect for the captain’s spot.
