I had a ball doing that. And I mean, again, during the “Star Trek” world, it’s lovely people, and it was nothing but pleasure, and it was a dream wish fulfillment for me to be able to be in “Star Trek.” I play a very interesting, complicated guy, bad guy, I suppose. I’m a bad guy. Yeah, I guess I’m a bad guy. But yeah, so I dunno what more I can say about that without giving too much away.
I’m in more than one episode. I have a little arc through this season. I reappear and become more problematic as the show goes on.

They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteMto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence?English7·12 days agothere was some debate as to whether the prime directive applied as the Baku weren’t native to the planet.
…which is an absolutely insane debate. No one tries to argue that the PD doesn’t apply to the Romulans, even though they’re not native to their world.
Colony planets aren’t considered “fair game” for interference.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteMto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence?English6·13 days agoThe Prime Directive is that the Federation won’t interfere with the development of a pre-warp society.
While warp capability (or a rough equivalent) is the prerequisite for first contact, the Prime Directive is broader, forbidding intervention in the internal affairs of any non-Federation civilization.

But the full-time version on “Academy” will be the original, not the “Living Witness” backup.

Which is…definitely a thing you could say.
