Ronald D. Moore is a name well-known among Star Trek fans. He began his career with Star Trek: The Next Generation, acquring a position as a script editor after penning two successful scripts for the series. And, along with writing some of the best episodes, inclluding "Sins of the Father" and "Reunion," he worked with Brannon Braga to create the amazing series finale for The Next Generation, "All Good Things."

After The Next Generation, Moore became the supervising producer of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine during its third season and brought many more details of the Klingons and their home world to life. He was part of the production staff of Star Trek: Voyager's sixth season but left only weeks into production. And while he hasn't done anything with Star Trek since then, that doesn't mean he isn't open to bringing his talents back to the world of Trek.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, Moore was asked about the potential for returning to the franchise, and he was very open to the idea, admiting that it's something he always keeps in the back of his mind.

"I mean, it's always one of those things that is in the back of my mind. It'd be fun to go back and do something again before my career is over. It's in such good hands, you know, they've been doing a great job with it. So they don't need me, but it would be fun to go do something eventually."

A fan of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Moore feels like this series is "more in keeping with what the original started." And despite his busy schedule, he keeps up with the show. He continues to remain connected to Star Trek, even as a viewer, and with his knowledge of Star Trek in the past, he would be an untapped resource for current Trek shows, especially should Strange New Worlds venture into Klingon Territory. Or perhaps we'll see Klingons again in the 32nd century. And Moore is one of the experts on the warrior race. It would be unfathomable not to use his knowledge to make any Star Trek series better.
