Heading into tonight’s premiere of #startrekpicard there are a lot of people to thank. Our cast, our crew. Editors and composers. I’m deeply grateful. But I’d like to take a moment to thank the writers — my friends and colleagues who worked tirelessly to make S3 so terrific.
They elevated everything. Brought their A-game into battle. Gave their hearts to every scene. They sacrificed their time, their sanity. All to make something lasting and worthwhile.
Firstly, to @TerryMatalas, my 15-year cohort, for charting the vision and leading the way. Thank you for your continued confidence, faith and brotherhood. To this and many more stories told together…
To my friend and fellow Monkey @Sean_Tretta whose extraordinary work has always demanded my best in return. To @janemaggs4 for her gentle calm and ferocious talent. To @CSAppel for bringing tears and laughs to each page in equal measure.
To @mattogoofingoff not just for his fast friendship but his tireless pursuit of adventure, character and emotion. To Kiley Rossetter for her unspeakably enthusiastic dedication and to @UnauthorizedCBD for always being the human definition of cool.
And to our support staff who kept us going — fed, supplied, and never without fresh pages — all while patiently listening to us banter and bicker and occasionally bang our heads against our desks. But who never failed to raise their hands with a great pitch or a good idea.
Writers rooms are hard. But also sacred. There’s no end of creativity and no absence of conflict. It’s a bunch of exhausted, excitable egos fighting for the best idea. It’s a Thanksgiving table of amazing (if occasionally clashing) personalities.
But in the end, you support each other. Personally, professionally, you root for each others success. I’m grateful for what they taught me, how they challenged me, who they made me. I couldn’t be prouder of them & what we created. Or a bigger fan of what comes next from each.
