Una Chin-Riley) and Co-Executive Producer and Writer Akela Cooper join host Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) in The Ready Room, where the trio discusses Episode 3, “Ghosts of Ilyria.” The group considers how the plight of the Ilyrian colonists and Una’s dilemma illustrate an important message about prejudice.

I am so excited and a huge fan, there's such an enormous potential that Star Trek Strange New Worlds can bring to its fans. Done right SNW has the potential to outshine the original Star Trek legacy. I've always wanted to see the legend of Captain Pike and his adventures. The cast is phenomenal, Anson Mount is the perfect Captain Pike, Rebecca Romijn "is" Number One and Ethan Peck is certainly channeling Spock. 🖖
The producers and Paramount must remember that no matter what, these adventures will endure for generations.
One of the best ready room.
Love how writer Akela Cooper just happens to forget she stole Una's entire back story from DC Fontana and her novel Vulcan's Glory. To not give her a story credit is unprofessional at best. They should be ashamed.
OMG, where can I get the LGBTQ pin that Wil Wheaton is wearing!? I'm searching everywhere and can't find it.
Wil! Do you age? Just finding the show and I'm delighted for the whole playlist. Good to see ya.😃
Never mind.
Rabecca is awesome as Number 1.
Thanks, Wil! Thanks, Rebecca! Thanks, Akela! 🌟
How weird. An Illriyan can serve Starfleet but as a Race, they can't join the Federation?
Are Terrans & Illriyans that similar? Taking Bio- engineering that far. The whole concept of Una having that as a secret is fetched. Super glad SNW's is around. Akela & Rebecca are fabulous. This is really GR8 having the writer & actress together. Kudos Wil! Best safe everyone 🦊
Liked the episode, and outside of Lower Decks, it's probably closest to the ideals and tone of Gene Roddenberry's creation, but it would have been nice if the producers and the "writers" would have given story credit to Star Trek royalty and youngest female showrunner in the WGA, D.C. Fontana, who created this exact backstory, including Number One's name and race in the 1969 novel Vulcan's Glory.
I really like this show, it has me rewatching TOS.
Finally after watching Star Trek for fifty years, and avoiding like the plague, Discovery and Picard. A Star Trek series. How refreshing.
Why the fake enthusiasm?
Are they holding him hostage?
Why they steal everything from Sunshine?
This was incredibly well written. I honestly was convinced Number One was somehow up to no good until her reveal. I was like "Ok she's helping but what's her angle? And what is the Doctor up to???" Just fantastic. Definitely in the top Trek eps. This year overall has been great for that. The Picard and Discovery finales both make it into my top 20 EASILY. Go Trek, get it get it! lol Not for nothing I need a Starlfeet issue durag and/or bonnet Paramount. Make it happen!
I have to say this series is the best other than the original series
You know, if having the name Noonian-Singh was such a stigma at the time, why not change it? Of course, then the show wouldn't happen!
I LOVE SNW…
I love Strange New Worlds! I just want more and more! LLAP!
Una log entry reminded me of Sisko's log entry that he deleted in In The Pale Moonlight.
Why does the ready room interviews look different? No wide shots.
where's the new one for momentum mori????
Now I see why Girl Trek is so boring.
Rebecca Romijn is genetic perfection – confirmed.
