This is the part I'm not sure about. He wasn't hired to be head writer. And
his strength is in the novel form and not stage/movies/TV. He could be an
analog to Sorkin but without massive TV writing experience he might not get
similar results. My best scenario is Chabon gets a staff of experienced
Trek writers and he makes sure they don't fall into hacky habits. In other
words he reviews scripts and instructs writers to do rewrites with better
character development, etc. The worst case is he can't find his way as a
showrunner and the series becomes another minor Trek series.
