I'm Eleanor Brittany, and welcome to the June 14 2024 Star Trek Deep Space Nine edition, of The TrekConvention Podcast's Five Trek Headlines to Watch. The TrekConvention podcast where I highlight five Trek Headlines you may have missed. 

So, let's get to it!

Number One:
According to Giant Freakin Robot, he got off to a rough start with his first script but Robert Hewitt Wolfe, landed the gig. It’s all explained in the article “The Worst Star Trek DS9 Episode Got Writer To Join The Show..”

Number Two:
ScreenRant declares “I’m Glad Star Trek DS9 Abandoned The Original Controversial Plan For Chief O’Brien,” and honestly I really have to agree. 

Number Three: 
We love John de Lancie and Giant Freakin Robot exposes the perfect Q with their feature “Star Trek Actor Imitates His Onscreen Villain.” And Deliciously, no doubt. 

Number Four: 
With many actors rushing to the director’s chair, Red Shirts Always Die, highlights this “One Star Trek actor who doesn't think he'd be a very good director.” 

And finally, Number Five:
Giant freakin Robot insists “The Best Star Trek was Inspired By a Forgotten Police Series.” But I’ll let you be the judge. 

And that's all for this DS9 edition of the TrekConvention Podcast's 5 Trek Headlines to Watch.
