Such a flood of emotions on the sudden passing of Dorothy “D.C.” Fontana, our direct pipeline to 1964 and so much roots Trek (and roots TNG as well!).
I’ll say more here tomorrow … although I’ve already said a lot: watch today’s Trekland Tuesdays LIVE Ep. 132: Our Guardian of Forever is Gone: RIP Dororthy Fontana. (Apologies for the signal strength issues, of all days, and the clipped ending. The early sync issue corrects quickly at :60.)
But hear Dorothy in her own voice! Here’s her six guest episodes of The Trek Files with me, across two years, covering everything pre-TOS to TOS to TAS to the lost films to TNG…. each about 20-30 minutes max. She dropped a couple of real bombshells, as well as just revealing details we’d otherwise have no clue to. Enjoy!
