This week on Strange New Words, the Open Pike Night crew welcomes Star Trek: Strange New Worlds writers Kirsten Beyer and David Reed, co-authors of Season 3, Episode 2 - "Wedding Bell Blues!"

We dive into the changes the script underwent, their favorite Rhys Darby ad-libs, and the true identity of the wedding planner. From deep cuts to big emotions, Beyer and Reed pull back the curtain on what it takes to write a rom-com in the Trek universe.🖖

Whether you’re a longtime Trek fan or an aspiring screenwriter, this is one discussion you won’t want to miss.
