Specifically, the episode is "The Return of the Archons". The "Red hour" was a specified time of the day where the brainwashed inhabitants of a certain planet run rampant around town causing destruction and mayhem as part of the "festival" in obedience to their ruler, Landru.

I watched it a year or two ago. I have to say, it really humanized your father a lot for me. It's easy for Trek fandom to elevate him to some sort of sainthood, but the documentary pointed out that he had demons like the rest of us. It was somewhat telling how your mother didn't seem entirely comfortable with some things.

Hi Rod. I would consider myself a lifelong Star Trek fan. I'm sure countless people have told you the impact your father's work had on their lives and how he inspired and brought hope to so many through Star Trek, so I'll cut right to the chase.

My questions are to you:

  1. What is something about your father and mother (a pillar of Star Trek in her own right) that you think we should know that is often not mentioned or overlooked in interviews?

  2. Similarly, what are some fond memories of them that you haven't shared before?
