One of Star Trek's Most Celebrated Writers is Launching a Gritty Sci-Fi Show
Briefly

Gendel emphasizes, "There's a whole 'Inner Light,' kind of linkage here, to the extent that both deal with alien technology and the human brain. You've got a team thrown together isolated from humanity to one extent or another. Those are not intentional [parallels]. My writing often puts people in a pressure cooker to see what emotions or truths boil out of them."
He shares insight about 'The Inner Light,' saying, "The episode won the Hugo Award that year, and is celebrated for its unique take, diverging from familiar Star Trek tropes. It explores deep connections between memory, identity, and the essence of the human experience."
