200: When the Fruit Basket Disappeared

Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens Interview. Season four of Star Trek: Enterprise saw many changes to the creative team working on the show. One addition to the writing staff of the show was Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. No stranger to Star Trek or television writing, the Reeves-Stevens brought their wealth of Trek knowledge and Star Trek novel writing experience to the team. Drawing on their experience, fans of the show were treated to what is considered by many to be the best season of the shows run, due in large part to the many nods to established Star Trek continuity. In this episode of Warp Five, host Brandon-Shea Mutala interviews the writing duo of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to discuss their vast career. We discuss writing books, television, Batman: The Animated Series, Aliens Ate My Homework, William Shatner, Disney, Canadian bears, and much more.
