the first time Star Trek has introduced pirates 67 00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.762 and their ilk into the colorful cast of characters 68 00:02:43.762 --> 00:02:45.213 who populate the galaxy. 69

was hard getting into the Academy. 84 00:03:27.763 --> 00:03:29.733 There's still a lot of stigma around Orions. 85 00:03:29.733 --> 00:03:32.250 A lot of humans think we're all thieves and pirates. 86 00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:34.320 [Narrator] But she and an undercover Mariner 87 00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:36.940 have to admit piracy has its advantages 88 00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:40.180 when they turn to an Orion pirate outpost for help. 89 00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:42.215 If the Syndicate catches me talking to-- 90 00:03:42.215 --> 00:03:45.226 You'll do what I tell you to do, you dumb-faced jerk. 91

Nausicaan pirates after they attack a freighter. 94 00:03:54.467 --> 00:03:56.610 Though we don't learn much about the pirates, 95 00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:58.995 their leader proves reasonable when the freighter's 96 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:01.520 revenge-seeking first officer pursues them, 97 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.330 and Archer asks the Nausicaan captain to stand down. 98 00:04:05.330 --> 00:04:07.283 This is an NX-class starship. 99 00:04:08.170 --> 00:04:10.010 Take a good look 100 00:04:10.010 --> 00:04:12.474 because you'll be seeing more of them. 101 00:04:12.474 --> 00:04:13.970

104 00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:23.970 Picard, Ro, Guinan, and Keiko are turned into children 105 00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:25.363 by an anomaly. 106 00:04:27.210 --> 00:04:29.000 After boarding the Enterprise, 107 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.210 the Ferengi leader, in classic Ferengi fashion, 108 00:04:32.210 --> 00:04:34.308 declares the Enterprise a loss, 109 00:04:34.308 --> 00:04:38.070 and thereby subject to the Ferengi Salvage Code. 110 00:04:38.070 --> 00:04:41.610 His aim is to use the Enterprise's crew as slave labor, 111 00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.913 and sell the Enterprise to the Romulans for profit. 112 00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:50.859 I believe you're in my chair. 113 00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:54.964 [Narrator] In another episode, 114 00:04:54.964 --> 00:04:56.840 the Enterprise crew is investigating 115 00:04:56.840 --> 00:04:59.110 the presumed death of Captain Picard 116 00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.141 when Commander Riker is kidnapped 117 00:05:01.141 --> 00:05:03.952 by a group of Romulan-led mercenaries, 118 00:05:03.952 --> 00:05:07.510 stealing ancient artifacts around the galaxy. 119 00:05:07.510 --> 00:05:10.370 The group's goals prove to be split, however, 120 00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:12.710 when it's revealed that the so-called Romulan 121 00:05:12.710 --> 00:05:16.150 is really a Vulcan extremist plotting to reassemble 122 00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:18.313 a mythological telepathic weapon. 123 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:22.651 Go ahead, Captain. 124 00:05:22.651 --> 00:05:24.160 Pick up the phaser. 125 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.420 See what good it will do. 126 00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:29.860 And no list of Star Trek's seediest space marauders 127 00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.535 would be complete without mention of Harry Mudd. 128 00:05:33.535 --> 00:05:36.270 You should refer to me as Mudd the First, 129 00:05:36.270 --> 00:05:39.529 ruler of this entire sovereign planet. 130 00:05:41.479 --> 00:05:43.500 [Narrator] While not technically a pirate, 131 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.940 Mudd's hijinks provide consternation aplenty for both 132 00:05:46.940 --> 00:05:49.690 Kirk's Enterprise and the Discovery crew. 133 00:05:49.690 --> 00:05:51.330 You are mad. 134 00:05:51.330 --> 00:05:52.472 [Mudd] No! 135 00:05:52.472 --> 00:05:53.305 I'm Mudd. 136 00:05:54.455 --> 00:05:56.550 [Narrator] Whatever their motives or means, 137 00:05:56.550 --> 00:06:00.450 pirates and mercenaries keep Starfleet's best on their toes 138 00:06:00.450 --> 00:06:04.780 whenever they raise their sails in the Star Trek Universe. 139 00:06:04.780

00:06:44.490 I would like to welcome you officially 155 00:06:44.490 --> 00:06:46.410 to the Star Trek Universe that you've been in 156 00:06:46.410 --> 00:06:48.049 for a very long time. 157 00:06:48.049 --> 00:06:51.368 I guess this is more for me than it is for you. 158 00:06:51.368 --> 00:06:53.274 - Welcome, I'm so happy - Thank you so much. 159 00:06:53.274 --> 00:06:54.320 - [Wil] that you're here. 160 00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:55.200 Thank you. 161 00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:57.480 How are you finding our interesting 162 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.950 little shared universe? 163 00:06:58.950 --> 00:07:02.587 It has been completely life-changing, honestly. 164 00:07:02.587 --> 00:07:03.420 When I first got the call, 165 00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:07.410 I was super daunted because of the sheer size, 166 00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:09.751 and the enormity of Star Trek. 167 00:07:09.751 --> 00:07:10.584 Yeah. 168 00:07:10.584 --> 00:07:13.274 But I've very quickly realized that it is just that, 169 00:07:13.274 --> 00:07:14.168 it's a family. 170 00:07:15.235 --> 00:07:16.670 From the moment that I booked the role, 171 00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:18.690 I had inbox messages from other actors 172 00:07:18.690 --> 00:07:21.817 from different Star Trek shows, from fans, from... 173 00:07:23.442 --> 00:07:24.980 from everyone, from different sides of the production, 174 00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:26.860 just totally welcoming me. 175 00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:29.840 And this gig for me has been so new 176 00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:31.390 and unknown in so many ways, 177 00:07:31.390 --> 00:07:34.340 and I've felt nothing but totally welcome 178 00:07:34.340 --> 00:07:37.280 and embraced by everybody in the Star Trek family. 179 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:40.350 So it feels like a really special thing to have landed here 180 00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:41.990 after being shot out of a cannon. 181 00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:45.690 You know, it's special. 182 00:07:45.690 --> 00:07:47.800 You have this amazing opportunity. 183 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.630 "Yeah, I'm taking this character that exists, 184 00:07:49.630 --> 00:07:50.463 that's beloved. 185 00:07:50.463 --> 00:07:52.070 I get to interpret her a little bit. 186 00:07:52.070 --> 00:07:54.950 I get to build on her a little bit." 187 00:07:54.950 --> 00:07:58.300 How do you not lose yourself, 188 00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:01.280 in just being so intimidated by that? 189 00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:04.730 How did you--I would've been paralyzed. 190 00:08:04.730 --> 00:08:06.020 How did--tell--talk to me 191 00:08:06.020 --> 00:08:07.805 about going through that whole process. 192 00:08:07.805 --> 00:08:11.090 Well, I think I was in this kind of 193 00:08:11.090 --> 00:08:15.112 maybe fortunate position where before booking the role, 194 00:08:15.112 --> 00:08:16.790 I was aware of Star Trek, 195 00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:20.170 but I wasn't fully aware of its cultural impact. 196 00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:24.780 It wasn't really across how significant it was 197 00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:27.560 until I really got introduced to the world through the job. 198 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.700 And so I didn't exactly find it intimidating. 199 00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:33.320 I find it a really interesting creative challenge, 200 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.390 and I feel like I've been nothing but supported 201 00:08:35.390 --> 00:08:38.670 by the crew, and the cast, and the writers. 202 00:08:38.670 --> 00:08:39.503 And... 203 00:08:40.977 --> 00:08:42.111 It's been 204 00:08:42.111 --> 00:08:43.700 a very supportive journey where any questions 205 00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:45.800 that I've had, have been embraced 206 00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:47.150 and answered really openly. 207 00:08:49.228 --> 00:08:51.250 Yeah, I feel like maybe the intimidation factor 208 00:08:51.250 --> 00:08:52.720 came after I'd already started, 209 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.130 when I started to really conceive of like 210 00:08:55.130 --> 00:08:57.073 how significant she was. 211 00:08:58.310 --> 00:09:00.320 But from the beginning, it-- 212 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.470 I think I had a kind of lucky ignorance to the fact, 213 00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:05.450 perhaps. 214 00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:09.440 What I am hearing from you is you're aware of Star Trek, 215 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.010 but not intimidated by Star Trek, which I think 216 00:09:12.010 --> 00:09:13.130 is really interesting, 217 00:09:13.130 --> 00:09:17.290 and lets you approach this character, 218 00:09:17.290 --> 00:09:21.490 and everything this world means from a position of, 219 00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:25.150 "I am bringing my vision of this character to this world." 220 00:09:25.150 --> 00:09:28.150 And it sounds to me like you are so supported 221 00:09:28.150 --> 00:09:29.860 by everyone around you, 222 00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:34.200 that you have the freedom and the confidence to just be her. 223 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:35.033 - [Jess] Yeah. 224 00:09:35.033 --> 00:09:39.900 Which is so perfect for creating a memorable character 225 00:09:39.900 --> 00:09:42.911 who really holds her own among--you know, 226 00:09:42.911 --> 00:09:45.200 we always talk about whoever's on the Enterprise 227 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.870 is the best of everything. 228 00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:48.031 So you are right there, 229 00:09:48.031 --> 00:09:49.510 right there with them. 230 00:09:49.510 --> 00:09:52.190 Is that a fair assessment of what you just said? 231 00:09:52.190 --> 00:09:53.480 Absolutely. Absolutely. 232 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.287 I think there was a great balance of being aware enough 233 00:09:56.287 --> 00:09:58.130 to understand the gravity of the situation, 234 00:09:58.130 --> 00:10:00.429 but it being new enough 235 00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:04.480 to not be too restricted by nerves. 236 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.680 Now I remember really loving Majel's Nurse Chapel, 237 00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:10.030 but not feeling like I knew her at all. 238 00:10:10.030 --> 00:10:12.084 I recall feeling like, 239 00:10:12.084 --> 00:10:14.120 "Oh, she's an interesting character, 240 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.050 but I don't know much more about her 241 00:10:16.050 --> 00:10:17.580 than she's a nurse in sickbay, 242 00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.850 and she clearly has a thing for Spock." 243 00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:20.683 Yeah. 244 00:10:20.683 --> 00:10:24.700 This episode did this thing that I absolutely loved 245 00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:27.880 for your Nurse Chapel and it's already-- 246 00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:29.340 I feel like we're only four episodes in, 247 00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:31.532 and I already know your Nurse Chapel, 248 00:10:31.532 --> 00:10:36.510 so much more extensively than I ever knew Nurse Chapel 249 00:10:36.510 --> 00:10:37.350 from TOS. 250 00:10:37.350 --> 00:10:38.750 So this episode, 251 00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:41.444 it does this incredibly fantastic job of showing 252 00:10:41.444 --> 00:10:45.920 and not telling that Nurse Chapel is this super badass. 253 00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:49.960 And I'm speaking specifically of using a hypospray 254 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.833 as a weapon. 255 00:10:52.260 --> 00:10:53.093 Freeze! 256 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.033 Turn around. 257 00:10:57.667 --> 00:11:00.180 Don't hurt me. I'm just a nurse. 258 00:11:00.180 --> 00:11:01.460 Drop your weapons. 259 00:11:01.460 --> 00:11:02.410 I don't have any. 260 00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:09.010 Like I said, nurse. 261 00:11:09.010 --> 00:11:09.927 Don't move. 262 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.893 Every time I see her alone, I just feel like, 263 00:11:32.893 --> 00:11:34.420 "This girl's got it. 264 00:11:34.420 --> 00:11:35.660 She's gonna take care of s***." 265 00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:37.910 Like, I just--talk to me about that, I love it. 266 00:11:39.461 --> 00:11:41.330 Yeah, I loved it, too. 267 00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:43.180 I love where the writers, 268 00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:45.303 what the writers have created for her in this episode. 269 00:11:46.345 --> 00:11:50.006 I think that it really brings out this kind of-- 270 00:11:50.006 --> 00:11:51.410 you know, she maybe not-- 271 00:11:51.410 --> 00:11:53.530 she doesn't always know exactly what she's doing, 272 00:11:53.530 --> 00:11:54.670 but she's brave about it, 273 00:11:54.670 --> 00:11:57.000 and she's scrappy and she'll figure it out. 274 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.548 You know, I love when she encounters the pirates, 275 00:12:00.548 --> 00:12:02.299 and she kind of plays to like, 276 00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:04.140 "Oh, but I'm just a little girl. 277 00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:05.420 - Like what will I ever do?" - [Wil] I know, it's so good! 278 00:12:05.420 --> 00:12:06.890 And like, meanwhile, she's like-- 279 00:12:06.890 --> 00:12:08.015 the cogs are turning. 280 00:12:10.883 --> 00:12:13.723 And you know, even if she's just scared 281 00:12:13.723 --> 00:12:15.000 out of her wits, she's gonna 282 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.303 just do what she can. 283 00:12:18.077 --> 00:12:19.660 Yeah, I love that element to her. 284 00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:22.920 Like, she's kind of--she can be scrappy, 285 00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:24.170 she's fallible, 286 00:12:24.170 --> 00:12:27.780 but she's got your back if she can at all handle it. 287 00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:30.930 Yeah, I am feeling like she is a magnificent role model 288 00:12:30.930 --> 00:12:32.060 for young women. 289 00:12:32.060 --> 00:12:34.286 I feel like there is just this 290 00:12:34.286 --> 00:12:35.660 - confidence in her. - Oh, that's lovely. 291 00:12:35.660 --> 00:12:38.440 - And this absolute refusal to just sit down, 292 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.770 and be quiet, right? 293 00:12:39.770 --> 00:12:42.500 I absolutely love that she does all these things, 294 00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:45.320 and then she reminds--and I've seen the whole season, 295 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:46.830 so I don't know if we've seen these moments yet, 296 00:12:46.830 --> 00:12:50.570 but there are moments in her development where she's like, 297 00:12:50.570 --> 00:12:53.140 "Listen, I'm a nurse and my job is to be a nurse, 298 00:12:53.140 --> 00:12:55.630 but I have this idea that is based on 299 00:12:55.630 --> 00:12:57.520 just my basic intelligence, 300 00:12:57.520 --> 00:12:59.620 and I would love to bring it to the table." 301 00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:03.619 And I really enjoy that aspect of her. 302 00:13:03.619 --> 00:13:06.150 Do you wanna speak about that at all? 303 00:13:06.150 --> 00:13:09.210 Yeah, see I really like that aspect of Chapel as well, 304 00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:12.230 but I also think on the role model aspect 305 00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:13.875 that you were speaking about. 306 00:13:14.733 --> 00:13:17.730 What I think that she also brings as a role model, 307 00:13:17.730 --> 00:13:20.998 is she also knows that she hasn't got everything 308 00:13:20.998 --> 00:13:25.350 under control and she, you know-- 309 00:13:25.350 --> 00:13:28.460 like there's a fallibility to her that she's okay with. 310 00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:30.670 She's not pretending to be perfect. 311 00:13:30.670 --> 00:13:34.080 And I think that she embraces her 312 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.960 somewhat goofiness sometimes. 313 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.777 And also like really wants to bring that out 314 00:13:38.777 --> 00:13:39.610 in other people. 315 00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:41.150 I think that she's really no bulls***, 316 00:13:41.150 --> 00:13:42.320 pardon my French. 317 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.380 And she really wants that for other people, too. 318 00:13:44.380 --> 00:13:46.510 Like she just wants people to be honest about who they are, 319 00:13:46.510 --> 00:13:47.620 and like, be like, that's cool. 320 00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.060 You know, like, that's fine. 321 00:13:49.060 --> 00:13:50.030 You don't have to be anything. 322 00:13:50.030 --> 00:13:51.521 You don't have to be perfect all the time. 323 00:13:51.521 --> 00:13:55.570 A significant aspect of Majel's Nurse Chapel 324 00:13:55.570 --> 00:13:59.570 was her extremely unrequited crush on Spock. 325 00:13:59.570 --> 00:14:03.600 This is also a significant aspect of your Nurse Chapel. 326 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.330 It is also a significant aspect of my existence 327 00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:10.370 as a person who has an extremely unrequited crush on Spock. 328 00:14:10.370 --> 00:14:13.759 At the end of this episode, Nurse Chapel tells Spock, 329 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.984 "Dude, I get it. 330 00:14:14.984 --> 00:14:17.020 There's nothing between us." 331 00:14:17.020 --> 00:14:18.761 Spock. 332 00:14:18.761 --> 00:14:21.213 Like I said earlier, I like Vulcans. 333 00:14:21.213 --> 00:14:22.423 I know where I stand with you. 334 00:14:24.510 --> 00:14:25.430 You're an honest man. 335 00:14:25.430 --> 00:14:27.770 You're not the guy who would chase after another woman 336 00:14:27.770 --> 00:14:29.025 while you have a girlfriend. 337 00:14:29.900 --> 00:14:33.573 So I know for certain, 338 00:14:35.454 --> 00:14:37.173 there's no feelings between us. 339 00:14:37.173 --> 00:14:38.410 All of us in the audience are like, 340 00:14:38.410 --> 00:14:39.930 "Well, that's a bunch of bulls***." 341 00:14:39.930 --> 00:14:44.930 So talk to me about that relationship. 342 00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:47.870 And I'm particularly interested in those moments 343 00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:51.910 where he comes to her for relationship advice. 344 00:14:51.910 --> 00:14:54.140 We know how she feels about him. 345 00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:56.910 Just talk about how complicated that is. 346 00:14:56.910 --> 00:14:58.860 When Chapel first comes across Spock... 347 00:15:00.370 --> 00:15:02.550 I don't--like, she's just a flirty person. 348 00:15:02.550 --> 00:15:03.910 That's how she interacts with people. 349 00:15:03.910 --> 00:15:05.970 And I think she's interested in him 350 00:15:07.941 --> 00:15:09.630 as a science subject as well, you know, 351 00:15:09.630 --> 00:15:11.050 as he's a hybrid. 352 00:15:11.050 --> 00:15:12.140 And that's really interesting, 353 00:15:12.140 --> 00:15:13.940 and he is also kind of a hot snack. 354 00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:15.822 So she's like, "Bingo, this is awesome." 355 00:15:15.822 --> 00:15:17.387 But it doesn't really-- 356 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:19.530 she doesn't really see beyond that. 357 00:15:19.530 --> 00:15:21.120 You know, like, it's just kind of like, 358 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:22.550 "I know how to get under this guy's skin. 359 00:15:22.550 --> 00:15:23.383 This is fun." 360 00:15:23.383 --> 00:15:24.420 "He's hot," like, "let's talk." 361 00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:27.946 But I think it kind of catches her off guard 362 00:15:27.946 --> 00:15:31.760 when this beautiful friendship develops between them. 363 00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:33.330 And you know, 364 00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:34.910 I think that one thing about Chapel 365 00:15:34.910 --> 00:15:36.470 is that she's been through a bit 366 00:15:36.470 --> 00:15:39.190 in the way of human relationships in the past. 367 00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:42.650 And so she's a bit bruised in that respect, 368 00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:45.440 and she finds it hard to trust people, really. 369 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.170 She keeps people at a distance. 370 00:15:47.170 --> 00:15:48.580 She has one-night stands. 371 00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.840 She like plays around like that, 372 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.869 but doesn't really get involved. 373 00:15:52.869 --> 00:15:55.890 And I think Spock's candor 374 00:15:55.890 --> 00:15:59.250 and his honesty really disarm her, 375 00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:01.083 and make her feel really safe. 376 00:16:02.509 --> 00:16:05.820 And Spock is coming to terms with his humanness, 377 00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:07.381 his humanity. 378 00:16:07.381 --> 00:16:09.720 And she really revels in that, 379 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.553 in her humanity. 380 00:16:10.553 --> 00:16:13.050 So she can kind of offer guidance in that respect. 381 00:16:13.050 --> 00:16:13.970 And so this beautiful, 382 00:16:13.970 --> 00:16:16.350 like symbiotic friendship that's really precious 383 00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:18.870 and really earnest develops. 384 00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:22.410 And so I think it kind of, from Chapel's point of view, 385 00:16:22.410 --> 00:16:24.470 starts to kind of get confusing in that respect, 386 00:16:24.470 --> 00:16:25.900 where she's like, "Oh no, I don't want anything to do with 387 00:16:25.900 --> 00:16:28.520 this guy, but oh, he's actually making me feel really safe. 388 00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:31.730 But also he's engaged and, oh, this is like, this is weird. 389 00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:33.709 How does this work professionally?" 390 00:16:33.709 --> 00:16:35.400 She's got a really strong moral compass as well. 391 00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:37.650 She knows he's in a relationship. 392 00:16:37.650 --> 00:16:39.980 And so she's like, "We're not doing this. 393 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:41.840 Like you're not, we're not--don't make it, 394 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.340 don't make this hard. 395 00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:44.560 Don't make it messy. 396 00:16:44.560 --> 00:16:46.530 Let's just, you know--" 397 00:16:46.530 --> 00:16:49.123 So I think she just kind of keeps herself, her feelings, 398 00:16:49.123 --> 00:16:51.700 under control and tells Spock to keep his under control 399 00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:53.400 because it's just not gonna work. 400 00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:55.560 That is all so much more interesting 401 00:16:55.560 --> 00:16:59.450 and so much more compelling than "Spock's hot," right? 402 00:16:59.450 --> 00:17:02.223 Which I think is kind of this 403 00:17:02.223 --> 00:17:06.900 surace-level idea that we could get stuck in. 404 00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:08.883 We could just go no further than that. 405 00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:10.583 And I-- 406 00:17:10.583 --> 00:17:14.010 and it's so interesting to me to hear you discuss 407 00:17:14.010 --> 00:17:18.480 the deeper, more psychological experiences for all of that. 408 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.420 Let's shift gears a little bit. 409 00:17:20.420 --> 00:17:22.560 I want to talk about Jesse James Keitel. 410 00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:26.800 Yes, she was so just riveting. 411 00:17:26.800 --> 00:17:30.210 I could not take my eyes off of her. 412 00:17:30.210 --> 00:17:31.570 She's amazing. 413 00:17:31.570 --> 00:17:34.130 A space pirate driven by love 414 00:17:34.130 --> 00:17:37.740 is, like, just such an incredible sci-fi trope, 415 00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:40.840 and such a great Star Trek character. 416 00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:44.889 I am really hoping this is not the last we've seen of Angel. 417 00:17:44.889 --> 00:17:47.860 Would you talk a little bit about working with her? 418 00:17:47.860 --> 00:17:48.800 Oh, for sure. 419 00:17:48.800 --> 00:17:50.830 Jesse's just so good at what she does, 420 00:17:50.830 --> 00:17:54.820 and just owned Angel fearlessly, 421 00:17:54.820 --> 00:17:56.180 from the moment that she came on set. 422 00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:59.219 And I think that can be sometimes daunting, 423 00:17:59.219 --> 00:18:01.397 when you're a guest star coming into an established cast 424 00:18:01.397 --> 00:18:03.460 and a show that's already going, you know, 425 00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:08.440 and she just owned it, like, embodied it fully. 426 00:18:09.747 --> 00:18:12.570 And also for such a dynamic character that's so present too, 427 00:18:12.570 --> 00:18:13.960 she kind of carried the whole episode, you know, 428 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.950 like it's about her. 429 00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:18.460 I was just in such admiration of that confidence, 430 00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:19.860 and that professionalism. 431 00:18:19.860 --> 00:18:23.480 And she's just great to work with on- and off-screen, 432 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.910 and just kind of fit in really well. 433 00:18:25.910 --> 00:18:27.300 So I don't know, at the end of the episode, 434 00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:30.170 we're like, "You're coming back, right?" 435 00:18:30.170 --> 00:18:32.960 Yeah.
