Joe Menosky is a writer and producer who worked in those roles on Star Trek: Discovery which began broadcasting in 2017. He started his Star Trek career as Executive Story Editor during the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Menosky commented on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine characters: "You can see right away they're not the perfectly engineered humans of TNG. They seem more real. I don't know if that makes them as attractive to viewers or not. But they are really different, and they represent a different way to tell a story. And it was definitely a conscious choice to create that potential for conflict". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
