Marc Cushman on Season Three, Part 1.
The third season of Star
Trek started
with a lot of strikes against it, but not many people appreciate
the work that went into making it the best it could have been. In
this episode of Standard
Orbit,
Mike and Drew are joined again by Marc Cushman, author
of These
Are The Voyages,
to find out what really happened behind the scenes of Season
3. What happens when you have to take the action out of your space
action-adventure show, while being told to leave the ship more
often but also having a much more limited budget in a time slot no
one wanted? You do the best you can, which is exactly what Season 3
producer Fred Freiberger did. Find out more about what he and the
others did to keep things running on the
Starship Enterprise during
the last year of it's mission!
