According to James Whitbrook, "Fields co-wrote a total of 13 episodes for the franchise in his long association with it—three for (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and 10 with DS9—and among them are some of the best remembered and heartwrenching episodes of each respective series. For Next Generation, Fields contributed to the Lwaxana Troi-centric episodes 'Half a Life' and 'Cost of Living' in seasons four and five, but also most notably to one of the most-lauded episodes of the show, season five’s 'The Inner Light' with Morgan Gendel, the tragic tale of Captain Jean-Luc Picard finding himself living a life he never knew he had on an alien world, attempting to chase his way back to the Enterprise."
