Your stepdad worked on Voyager? Very cool! What did he do?

Mostly post production, which involved stuff like adding in phaser effects and stuff. Mom too, technically, but I think she was mostly handling tapes (a job that doesn't even exist now, haha).

That's awesome! Please share any fun stories.

In fact, as a representative of the mods, I think I can safely say that we would all love it if you made a separate post to tell those stories!

I'm more of a commenter than a poster but I'll keep that in mind. I don't remember enough of his stories and don't see him that often, although post production isn't as cool as being in studio (I do remember Arnold Schwarzenegger parked his Hummer in front for some reason, I think they shared a building with his office or something. But I was like, 8, so selective memory is a thing lol).

That's fine. If you do ever feel like getting some stories and sharing, I'm sure it will be very well-received.
