Well, if you believe as I do - that TWoK does indeed exclude TMP, and that there was no time lapse between TMP and TWoK (both start out with Kirk...
Well, that's all quite interesting and makes me wish all the more that the producers of TMP had resisted Paramount's hard 7 December 1979 deadline...
I'm giving this more thought than it deserves, obviously, but: Keep in mind that we don't even know that V'ger is traveling at warp speed, at...
The long-established technique of stellar occultation would be a means of detecting V'ger, even if it wasn't bright - and occultation normally...
Well, this thing is 82 AUs in diameter(!), or 2 AUs in the Director's Edition. Even with current or recent instrumentation (on Earth or in orbit),...
Well, I can agree that the focus isn't primarily on humans in 2001, although TMP insisted that "the human adventure is just beginning" in many of...
I continue not to understand claims that perceptions of TMP were ever influenced by 2001. I was as much a fan of 2001 during its first decade as...

James Gregory is great fun as the police sergeant listening to Geraldine Page tell her tale of woe in the Night Gallery two-hander "Stop Killing Me."

Yeah, I can imagine Ben Richards is still out there somewhere. (Unfortunately, Christopher George isn't.) The only previous series I know of that...
I haven't thought about The Immortal in years... I actually have an audio cassette somewhere that includes the last 15 minutes of the final...
Just to be clear: Rene's character wasn't in the theatrical version at all. (I saw it in the theater in 1991 and have the VHS with his "Colonel...
I would give no credence at all to the Belushi story. Bob Woodward's first book after his collaborations with Carl Bernstein was Wired: The Short...
