Thank You Dorothy “D.C.” Fontana! (Writer of ‘The Enterprise Incident,’ ‘This Side of Paradise,’ & ‘Journey to Babel.’

“If you put Dorothy’s scripts together as a group - especially ‘The Enterprise Incident,’ ‘Journey to Babel,’ and ‘This Side of Paradise’ - she gave us, by far, the best stories where we interacted with women who were fully developed characters in their own right…Star Trek was a product of the sexist sixties, and that was sometimes reflected in the writing, where women characters were often treated as stereotypical love interests or altogether ignored. Dorothy’s scenes not only avoided such stereotypes, but were dramatically intriguing.” - Leonard Nimoy (I Am Spock) On Star Trek Writer Dorothy Fontana.
