Summary: producers Ira Steven Behr and Ronald Moore, writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe and actors Alexander Siddig (dr. Julian Bashir) and Aron Eisenberg (Nog) reminisce about their time on the show. They talk about the characters developing, the heavy serialisation (almost unheard of at the time), the show's diversity and how Voyager coming along and being the more popular show left them in peace to do their own thing with lower ratings.

Summary: A great, lovely piece about captain Sisko and Jake's warm, realistic relationship. It mentions how Sisko actor Avery Brooks was drawn to the role because Sisko was a good, single dad, and how Jake actor's Cirroc Lofton's real life experience of his parents' divorce helped him bond with Brooks and consider him a real life father figure.

Summary: Trek only gets a brief mention, but Siddig talks candidly about his brief stint on Game of Thrones (he wishes he could have got up out of the wheelchair), working with Ruba Nadda and Patricia Clarkson on the romantic drama Cairo Time, and his role as Ras al Ghul on Gotham.
