Morgan Gendel<\/strong>, who wrote the Hugo Award<\/em>-winning The Next Generation<\/em> episode The Inner Light<\/em>, will be making several appearances in the New York City area next week.<\/p>\n Gendel will be appearing first at a screening of The Inner Light<\/em> at the Brooklyn Public Library<\/em> on Tuesday, April 21.<\/p>\n The free screening of The Inner Light<\/em> will be followed by a discussion and a question and answer session. Gendel will discuss “discuss his inspiration for the episode and will tell all about his behind-the-scenes experiences in the Star Trek<\/em> world.” Afterwards, Gendel will autograph copies of his original writer’s draft of The Inner Light<\/em> teleplay.<\/p>\n Gendel wrote or co-wrote four Trek episodes, including two from The Next Generation<\/em> (The Inner Light, Starship Mine<\/em>), and two from Deep Space Nine<\/em> (The Passenger, Armageddon Game<\/em>). He has also written more than two hundred episodes of television, including Law & Order, MTV\u2019s Spider-Man, V.I.P.<\/em> and The Dresden Files<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Brooklyn Public Library<\/em> appearance is free to the public and will take place Tuesday, April 21, from 7:00-9:00 PM. Reservations are required and to reserve your place head to the link located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The next day at 7 PM, Gendel will be appearing at the Singularity & Co. Bookstore<\/em> in Brooklyn (18 Bridge Street), where he will answer questions and autograph copies of his writer’s draft of The Inner Light<\/em>, and issues of The Outer Light<\/em>. The Outer Light<\/em> is “his graphic novel sequel to the episode recently ranked second of all Star Trek<\/em> episodes across all franchises.”<\/p>\n On Thursday, April 23 at 7 PM, Gendel will be appearing at the Brooklyn Futurist Meetup Livestream Public<\/em> (195 Morgan Avenue), where he will “use his fan-favorite episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Inner Light<\/em>, as a jumping-off point to discuss the role of the connectome on TV and movies and the real-life implications for Human 2.0.<\/p>\n “Clips from The Inner Light, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Total Recall, The Matrix<\/em> and Inception<\/em> will highlight the sci-fi potential for connectome hacks, following which Gendel will draw on the work of Sebastian Seung<\/strong> of Princeton University<\/em> and others to discuss what could happen when fiction becomes reality. Once we can alter anyone’s connectome, will mental illness, schooling and personality quirks become a thing of the past?”<\/p>\n This appearance will cost $7.00. For more details, head to the link located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The week will wrap up with Gendel conducting a writing workshop at the NY Media Center<\/em> on Saturday, April 25 from 10:30 AM to 4 PM. The workshop will be held at the Made in NY Media Center<\/em>. The cost for this workshop will be $125.00.<\/p>\n In the workshop, “participants in this day-long workshop will be the ‘writers’ in a realistic writers room setting as they create the concept for a new hypothetical sci-fi series. The fundamentals of setting, character and action will be examined with an eye toward how they work together in a compelling screen story. Open to working writers, aspiring amateurs, sci-fi fans or those who simply want to voice their ideas.”<\/p>\n For more information on the writing workshop, head to the link located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Morgan Gendel, who wrote the Hugo Award-winning The Next Generation episode The Inner Light, will…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[7922,8424,7925,8423],"class_list":["post-40493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-gendel","tag-screening","tag-the-inner-light","tag-workshop"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast & Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40496,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40493\/revisions\/40496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
