Podcast: BONUS EPISODE! Alex Kurtzman and Olatunde Osunsanmi Explain the inspiration behind Star Trek: Discovery’s “Burn”

Welcome to a bonus episode of theblerdgurl Podcast! In this interview, I get a chance to talk to Star Trek: Discovery executive producer and Creator Alex Kurtzman along with co-executive producer and director Olatunde Osunsanmi. 

So I’m really really excited to bring you this episode because, since the season 3 finale dropped, we were free to talk about the whole season. We talked about everything from how the pandemic has affected production, to saying goodbye to Michelle Yeoh’s character Georgiou, even directing Doug Jones out of makeup, and the future of the Federation. Tunde also shared why the season 3 finale of DISCO is so important to him.

    The comment on how decisions were made for what the actors looked in the hologram was very interesting. Time constraints due to the prosthetics.
