Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Raffi Musiker

9. 10 Million Families Worldwide

Though Michelle Hurd and Jonathan Frakes wouldn't share scenes until Star Trek: Picard's third season episode The Bounty, they had already shared touching behind-the-scenes moments. Hurd credits Frakes with helping understand the breadth of the Trek world.

As she was embarking on her Picard journey in the show's debut year, Frakes advised Hurd that she was now going to be part of '10 million families worldwide,' something that became clear when she began attending conventions. Though the land-based conventions were an experience of their own, it was the Star Trek Cruise that inspired early, powerful memories.

On her first trip, she hosted an edition of Star Trek Trivial Pursuit. Hurd, who is dyslexic, was given little preparation time to master some of the more challenging Trek names, dates, and places - something she warned the crowd of as she spoke. This admission - of a person with dyslexia thriving in Star Trek's sphere - encouraged many fans to approach her and thank her for helping them feel represented in the world.
