Writers Henry Alonso Myers and Alan B. McElroy join Open Pike Night to talk about the Season 4 premiere, "Valles Marineris"—from Alan's original junior high story idea to why you want to avoid a mopey season premiere. They also discuss punching dinosaurs, asteroid belt drama, and why big Star Trek swings are worth taking.

Strange New WORDS is Open Pike Night's weekly interview series featuring the writers of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Every Friday during Season 4, we go behind the scenes of the latest episode with the people who wrote it.
