Pegg, Part 1: Trek. Over the past few days, many of us here at Trek.fm have been discussing the news of a new Star Trek TV series, coming in January of 2017. But who is it that's making this show? In the final season premiere of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John discuss the series, specifically looking at executive producer Alex Kurtzman and his career in television and film. We discuss his previous work, what his role on the show may be, and speculate on who may write the series. In this episode, we also begin a new series on Simon Pegg in which we look at his work as a writer. In Part 1, we discuss his portrayal of Scotty in the JJverse films. We also remember TOS visual effects artist, Howard A. Anderson, Jr. Running Time: 1 hour 3 minutes 38 seconds Hosts Mike Schindler and John Mills Editor and Producer Mike Schindler Executive Producers Charlynn Schmiedt, Norman C.
