CHASING COMETS • This interview was conducted before the airing of the new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

TOP SECRET FUTURE ED SPELEERS • Ed Speleers exploded onto the entertainment scene in 2006, when he made his acting debut as the title character in the film, Eragon. The talented Brit has never looked back, amassing more than two dozen film and television credits, including Downton Abbey, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Outlander, You, and, of course, Star Trek: Picard. Speelers joined the Picard cast for season three, taking on the pivotal and – for a long while – top-secret role of Jack Crusher, the son of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Star Trek Explorer recently caught up with Speleers for a quick chat…

RE - DESIGNING THE FUTURE • Veteran production designer Dave Blass, whose credits include Justified (20102014), Preacher (2016-2017), and The Boys (2019), came aboard Star Trek: Picard for the show’s second and third seasons. Tasked with developing the vision for the Federation’s 25th century aesthetic, Blass generously took some time out of his schedule to chat with Explorer about working as Picard’s production designer, updating Starfleet’s look, and plenty of other behind-the-scenes exclusives.

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTES • Sometimes the dominos fall in the right direction. Nami Melumad composed the score for the Star Trek: Short Treks episode “Q&A.” That paved the way for Melumad – who hails from Israel and counts among her credits such films and shows as Thor: Love & Thunder, Absentia, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, and the Oscar-winning short Colette – to compose the music for Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. And she’s never looked back. Her work provides a pulse to the action, punches up the humor, and drives home the drama, all the while capturing the essence of the music crafted by her Star Trek predecessors.

LIFE AND LEGACY OF THE DOCTOR • Starfleet never intended for an Emergency Medical Hologram to operate as a ship’s primary physician, but U.S.S. Voyager’s EMH, better known as The Doctor, assumed that position when his vessel lost its chief medical officer en route to becoming stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Initial tensions with his crewmates aside, the Doctor evolved to be so much more than the sum of his programming during Voyager’s seven-year journey back home.

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO… ENGINEERS! • If the bridge is the brain of a starship, engineering is its heart. The chief engineer is not only central to keeping a Starfleet vessel in fine fettle, they’re also vital to all aspects of life onboard. With Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ushering in a new chief of engineering in the form of veteran actor Carol Kane as Pelia – highly educated and intelligent, suffering no fools, she solves problems “calmly and brusquely, thanks to her many years of experience” – we present a...
