    Disappointed that Marina Sirtis wouldn’t interview, though I kind of get why. Her role as a woman on Trek is certainly one of the more… complicated ones.

      For sure! That’s why I hope this book opens more conversations with Sirtis and others about their experience, whether it’ll be in a Visitor-penned sequel or elsewhere.

      Specifically Sirtis would be interesting, because she so definitely was put in the “female box”, while her real (or convention appearance) persona is much fuller — and outspoken than the often docile role she played.
