André Bormanis - Boldly going from science consultant to writer/producer on Star Trek's spin-off series

Bryan and Lili tease there's a mid-season Star Trek: Discovery climax. The segment "Tractor Beam me!" brings Joanna Ferbrache back on the viewscreen to reveal Geordi LaForge's visor provided him with the gift of sight and the science behind this Trek technology at its pinnacle. Bryan boisterously states, "This is going to be an intellectually charged interview with André Bormanis". Star Trek Science Consultant, writer, and producer André Bormanis is interviewed in this part one of two discussions. The conversation with André continues with him talking about hitting it off over the phone with Jeri Taylor, a supervising producer on TNG at the time, after interviewing Andrea Jeri invited him to go out to L.A. to officially meet Michael Pillar, Brannon Braga, Ira Steven Bear, and Ronald D. Moore. Andre talks about how Star Trek: Voyager was being created while Star Trek: The Next Generation was winding down plus he discusses having a smaller boutique Lit agency get him into Trek.
