My sister’s gateway was the Disney Pocahontas movie. She would have been around seven or eight when it was released in theaters. She fell in love with the story and the characters, knew all the songs etc… and so she wanted to learn more. So then she got real history books about the time period and biographies of Pocahontas.
And that’s when she learned grown-up’s lie.

I highly recommend the book Red Shirts by John Scalzi if you haven’t read it.
There’s a couple of short story collections on Kindle called Space Eldritch. It’s been years since I read them, but I remember enjoying them. A little on the pulpier side, but fun.

Christine Chapel in the original series was played by Majel Barret, who’s other roles in later Star Trek series include voicing the ships computer, and Lwaxana Troi.
One of the best bosses I ever had once told me that people will stay for the culture but leave for money. His philosophy was to try and ensure that money was not a factor in people’s decision, then build as good a culture as he could.
And to be clear, by making money not a factor, I mean he paid well.
