M: yes haha, funny.
F: yes… Anyway here’s the money
Making episode one
M: I gotta make sure there’s loads of jokes so I can show this to execs and they see the haha bits
Making episode 3
M: okay I think they’re gone… Time to just literally make normal star trek episodes
making the last episode of s1
F: hey I see you’re almost done with the first season so I’m just checking in that the show is still funny
