Summary
This week, we're joined once again by Cash Edwards , who shares an intimate look at his longtime friendship with Star Trek: The Next Generation producer Herbert J. Wright . Their relationship, and shared history with Gene and Majel Roddenberry , sparked a bold attempt to revive one of Gene's most personal concepts: The Questor Tapes . In 2004, Herb, Cash, Rod Roddenberry , and a team that included Mike Okuda and Jules Urbach put together a new pitch for Questor —a project updated for the post-9/11 world but still driven by the timeless Roddenberry themes of evolution, ethics, and survival. From detailed series bibles to pilot treatments and fan outreach, Cash walks us through the chaotic early years of TNG , the roots of Questor , and the bittersweet story behind its final pitch.
