Henry Alonso Myers:Episode by episode and season by season and really try to treat everything like, “If this was our last episode, what would it be?” We want to do the best version of everything. If this was all we got to do, what are the cool things that we will be really upset that we never got to do? We look at every season like that.
Akiva Goldsman:Left to our own devices, which really means if Paramount will, we’ll keep going into the TOS era. And we know how. That’s the hope, but as Henry said, nothing is assured. So we come from a conservative place with great aspirations.
