IGN posted an extensive interview with legendary Star Trek writer D.C. Fontana. Here are few excerpts of the article.
If she had to pick, Fontana says Mister Spock is probably her favorite character to write. But he's a tough character to pen, to be sure, particularly as there must always be the temptation lurking in any writer to unveil his famously hidden emotions.
"You can't do that. You can't do that," says Fontana. "You have to play around that. Remember, he's half human, plus Vulcans are not totally emotionless. They're logical, they keep their emotions reigned in, but it is not that they do not have emotions. So you have to skirt that issue very carefully. And I always liked Spock because he was the alien outside observing us humans. He had the capacity to comment on our foibles from an alien point of view, which was always useful. And then of course the triumvirate of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy was always good. They worked well together. The actors worked well together, and I'm trying to remember if it was Gene Coon or someone else who wrote kind of a verbal fencing scene between McCoy and Spock. And we said, 'Oh, this works. We've got to let them do that more and put that into play so that the actors can then run with it.' And then more and more people did it."
Regarding her current comic book mini series for IDW, a sequel to her third season episode "The Enterprise Incident", titled Star Trek Year Four The Enterprise Experiment, Fontana explains "Of course the comic book now is sprung from this. "'The Enterprise Incident' became The Enterprise Experiment, so we get to look at a little more of a continuation of this female character and the Romulans, who I always thought were wonderful. The only reason that we didn't do them more on the series was because of all the ears, which was expensive and time-consuming makeup, even to do a couple of key characters properly. So that was a consideration as to why we went more with Klingons, who were easier to do in make-up, than the Romulans, who were harder and more expensive."
