Punch It: Writing in Star Trek
Punch It 81 - Characters Age
Great characters not only have an arc, they grow up in Star Trek as well
While a character's arc can be linked to growing up it can also be separate. This can be facilitated by the natural aging process of the actor or by the writers allowing the characters to change in addition to their surroundings.
In this episode, we focus on a handful of characters we think "grew up" the most on Star Trek. Seasoned, if you will.
