Turns out I have more than one Scott Bakula passion project, and this one’s been kicking around my head for years. Thrilled to bring it to CBS

Almost 100K eyeballs have watched a “top ten” video about a #StarTrek pitch that has yet to make it to television. I don’t agree with every argument — T’Pol at No. 2, really? — but they make some good points. 🙏 to @seanferrick.bsky.social and @trekculture.bsky.social for their thoughtful look.🖖

“ANDOR showed that science fiction audiences are hungry for dramatic depth and moral complexity. If that worked for Star Wars fans, imagine what it could do for Trekkers who’ve been asking for exactly this kind of nuanced storytelling for decades.” -Seán Ferrick, TrekCulture ▶️ youtu.be/Owqrkel0fXk
