I *may* have just referred to Captain Harriman as a "nepo baby" in my most recent script...

Aaron Waltke Interview! Star Trek Prodigy, Oral Traditions, and All Things Redshirts

A Long Road Productions @alongroad.bsky.social · 13d

Aaron sounds good in the interview. I sound like I'm talking thru a tin can. But he talks most of the time, so that works out for everyone. What can I say. My PhD wasn't in video/audio production, but I'm trying!

New interview just dropped! I sat down with Aaron Waltke, co-executive producer & co-head writer of Star Trek: Prodigy, to talk canon, Redshirts, and carrying the torch of Trek’s legacy. 🖖

Redshirts, Hope, and Oral Traditions in Star Trek: Prodigy

A Long Road Productions @alongroad.bsky.social · 21d

In Star Trek: Prodigy’s “All the World’s a Stage,” a Redshirt becomes a messiah, and oral traditions become a living faith. ✨

Special thanks to @goodaaron.bsky.social for sharing his insights with me! My interview with Aaron Waltke will be posting in a few days, so keep an eye out!

Oh man, I'm so excited to see what you have to say about this one. I really love this episode. It's really nice to see Janeway outside of her Captain role.

THEY’RE FOR DEFENSE!!!

But yeahhhhh…. 😬

What happens when Starfleet’s rule of non-interference collides with religion, politics, and culture?

From Bajor under the Occupation to Voyager being worshipped as a god, the Prime Directive shows us the limits of utopian ideals.

Enterprise was the first Trek I watched on my own (TOS was with my dad; TNG/DS9/VOY was with my aunt). It will always feel like *my* Trek, and Bakula will always be *my* captain. So excited to read your thoughts as you go!

🚀 This month we tackle Star Trek’s Prime Directive—is it moral safeguard, political hypocrisy, or both? 🖖 And what happens when the Doctor actually keeps the Time Lords' non-interference policy? 💙💙

Starting my semi-annual Buffy/Angel rewatch. Any burning politics or religion questions for me? I’ve got quite a bit of content planned already, but I’d love to hear from y’all!

Why did Spock's Parents Keep Him from Sybok (And Were They Right)?

A Long Road Productions @alongroad.bsky.social · Aug 19

NEW CONTENT TUESDAY! 🖖

Why did Spock’s parents keep him away from Sybok — and were they right?

From Star Trek V: The Final Frontier to Strange New Worlds and back to TOS, I dig into Vulcan family drama, forbidden mind melds, and what it all says about Spock’s power.
