Okay, #Trekkie CoSo. 🖖 It's #SNW time!
Today for #OnlySky, we talk about Strange New Worlds' time travel episode, which takes place more or less now in Canuckistan 🍁, and raises the classic Would You Kill Baby Hitler question around La'an's past.
Does it work? Does *any* time travel episode in #StarTrek? What does this #SFF trope actually do - and does the romance help or hinder?
Come for the morality play! Stay for the poutine & Carol Kane!

@MLClark Here's something else that might interest you ...
Another one of my writing mentors was Judy Burns, who wrote "The Tholian Web" for TOS. She used to teach Star Trek screenwriting classes at UCLA; sometimes I was a student, sometimes a T.A.
Anyway, here's a 2020 video interview she did with someone. Her career is quite the tale. (1/2)
@MLClark One time I picked up Bob Justman for her class. I was T.A. with Ron Wilkerson, a TNG/VOY writer.
Bob produced a mint original typed paper with his original notes reviewing her "Tholian Web" first draft.
Ron and I were holding it the way you would hold a newborn. History in our hands. (2/2)
