David Gerrold. He wanted to get his Screen Actor’s Guild card. He was also not pleased with his performance.

Episode Conclusion

And that’s it. This will be our last Star Trek series for a while. I’m a huge Discovery and Picard fan, but it doesn’t seem quite right to cover those series while they’re still in production. When they wrap, I guarantee they’ll each have an episode of their own. That being said, there’s still more Star Trek to be had in the universe, so stay tuned.

Speaking of staying tuned, here’s a clue for next week’s episode:

“In what decade did you need to “Show Me The Money” and then head “To Infinity and Beyond?””

Oh yes, it’s a Quotables episode. Get ready!

I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this has been the Dorky Geeky Nerdy trivia podcast. Thanks for listening.
