Kind of a trashy headline - here's the full quote:

we keep writing it, and we keep turning things in, and they keep saying, 'Please keep writing.' So, as long as they allow us to do that and they don't say, 'Stop. Close your computers and go home,' we'll continue making it.

I somehow missed that the sitcom idea was anything serious. I'd be surprised if it ever makes it to the finish line, but with Tawny involved that's a promising sign it won't be crap!

Tawny did a guest spot on the Greatest Trek podcast recently, and shed a little more light on how this thing came into being.

Apparently, it was Paramount that was pushing to get a Trek sitcom off the ground, and Alex Kurtzman wasn't sure it could work. But he mentioned it to Tawny, and she rode for the idea.
