Jeri Taylor (born June 30, 1938) is a television scriptwriter and producer, known for her contributions to the ''Star Trek'' series. She is an alumna of Indiana University, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. ==Star Trek screenwriting== Having previously written scripts for television series like ''Little House on the Prairie'' and ''The Incredible Hulk'' and, after serving as a producer and director on ''Quincy, M.E.'' and ''Jake and the Fatman'', Taylor was recommended to the producers of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' by Lee Sheldon, with whom she had worked on ''Quincy''. Taylor joined ''The Next Generation'' staff at the beginning of the fourth season as a supervising producer, co-writing the second episode to go into production, "Suddenly Human". After two years, Taylor became co-executive producer with Rick Berman and Michael Piller and served as executive producer/showrunner for the (final) seventh season of ''The Next Generation''. During this time, she received credit on a number of episodes, including Wil Wheaton's final episode as a regular character, "Final Mission"; the episode that introduced the Cardassian race, which featured heavily in ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', "The Wounded"; and the first of a two-part episode featuring Spock, "Unification". During the last year of ''The Next Generation'', Taylor worked with Rick Berman and Michael Piller to develop the fourth ''Star Trek'' series, ''Star Trek: Voyager''. When ''The Next Generation'' production ended, Taylor transferred to the ''Voyager'' production staff and served as executive producer with Rick Berman during the first four years. At the beginning of the third season, when Piller moved to a reduced creative consultant role, Taylor became head of the writing staff (showrunner) and stayed in that role until the end of the fourth season, when she retired and handed over control of the writing staff to Brannon Braga. During her time on ''The Next Generation'' and ''Voyager'', Taylor wrote three ''Star Trek'' novels for Pocket Books: a novelization of "Unification" that she wrote at the same time she was scripting its first part, and two ''Voyager'' novels that expanded on the background of the characters she had helped create for the series. In ''Pathways'', for example, she uses a fix-up presentation to describe several characters' childhood and early adult experiences leading to joining the ''Voyager'' crew. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeri Taylor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
