Speaking with the writers of #StrangeNewWorlds Season 3 allowed us to learn what their favorite lines were - what were some of yours?
Some of the writers' favorite lines from Strange New Worlds Season 3: Ortegas: That's good, right? The ship is happy screaming? Spock: I promise to demote you at the earliest opportunity. Pelia: These 42 minute shifts are killing me! M'Benga: Overload the charging coil. Juliet: All of the advice from Uncle Sock really paid off. Ortegas: I know what I'm doing. I think I know. Trelane: I'm eight thousand and twenty, Dad! Spock: As my ancestor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would say, "the game is afoot." Spock: Curiouser and curiouser. Pike: Okay Dad, you win. Una: Someone once said space is dark and cold and full of death. Our job is to bring light, bring warmth, bring life to wherever we go. Korby: I might have gone with the pinot. TK Bellows: I'm a writer, I'm never happy about anything.

What episode from Season 3 of #DeepSpace9 should we do a full episode for on the #DS9 Minute?

Last season we did the mirror universe ep, which was the perfect one to spend more time on!

SLUTS IN SPACE. Our long awaited episode where we interview the more than delightful John Billingsley who played the only canonical polyamorous Star Trek character. Turns out he's even more chaotic than the Amateurs.

Writer Alan B. McElroy confirmed in our interview that the planet we see in #StrangeNewWorlds S3E9 "Terrarium" is indeed the same planet we see in TOS' "Arena" (notice the Vasquez Rocks in both images)!
#spoilers
An image of the planet from Strange New Worlds S3E9 "Terrarium" and an image of the planet from the Star Trek The Original Series episode "Arena", along with a quote from "Terrarium" writer Alan B. McElroy, confirming that both episodes take place on the same planet: "At this point, it's a terrarium. But the next time we see it, it's gonna be an arena!"
