R.I.P. D.C. Fontana, the first woman writer for Star Trek

At age 80. She wrote episodes for numerous other sci-fi TV shows as well.

Wrote for 4 Star Trek series'(not just episodes), and 3 video games.

Not bad as the current so-called Star Treks which are acted by people who hate the series, and likely written by people who have never seen an episode judging by what garbage they are.

Also impressive, one episode of Buck Rogers, and a few Babylon Fives. And so on.

I'm thinking, just by the Resume, that this person should be celebrated more for the types of things they wrote overall, and not just because they choose to be a woman. There's a lot of things missing from all of todays "stories" which all of these episodes and series definitely do not lack.

What episodes did she write in TOS? All I can find is cartoons.

Thanks. I saw that but I can't find which ones. It seems like that would be easy to find.

You must've been scared crapless that my post was "anti-muslim" or some other insane allegation like last time since this was all answered hours and hours and hours by myself earlier.
