I liked the rather passive aggressive dedication to Richard Arnold Peter David included in Vendetta. I forget the exact wording, but David basically compares Arnold to a windmill one has to tilt at, like in Don Quixote. To make the comparison thematic, there's a chapter in the novel where Data...
Paramount's not going to give him that kind of freedom on a Star Trek series. And besides, he's said one of his biggest regrets about moving onto Voyager is that after DS9 he should have closed the door on Star Trek and moved on with life. Which he has now done. I don't see him as the type to...
Since we're discussing first Doctor Who experiences, I'm really not sure mine. As I mentioned earlier, I have an uncle who is a big Doctor Who fan, and as a result I've always heard about Doctor Who for as long as I can remember. I have vague memories of seeing random episodes of the classic era...
Ron Moore's not returning to Star Trek. Everyone really needs to make their peace with that.
At this stage, I doubt Seth MacFarlane would even want to do Star Trek. It would be a step down for him after the freedom he's had with his own TV shows for twenty years now.
A Disco novel had Finnegan recruited by Section 31, because in the novels anyone who isn't a nice guy is automatically associated with Section 31 by default.
That is the story that's always told, including by PAD himself, though I've noticed several Trek novels of the time had that disclaimer. Prime Directive by the Reeves-Stevens has the exact same disclaimer that was in Vendetta.
It is true that the inclusion of a female Borg drone in Vendetta...
DC might see a resurgence, depending on how the coming Superman does. Marvel might not be as dead as some like to say it is, but its heyday is definitely in the past.
I can definitely attest to avoiding walking at any cost. One time the bus broke down when it was only four stops away from where I would be getting off, a walk which only would have taken fifteen minutes. I waited twenty minutes for a replacement bus to arrive and rode the extra four stops...
That's just how irrational Kurtzman critics are. By the same token, Terry Matalas could have shown the Golden Gate bridge covered in solar panels and the same people who think Kurtzman should be fired for doing that will think it's the most brilliant idea ever.
I was harsh on Solo when I first saw it in theatres, but on rewatches I've actually ended up enjoying it. It probably should have had its release date postponed to allow for more work in light of the behind the scenes trouble it had, but, in spite of all that it is indeed a very good and very...
Peter David had a very deserved reputation for his sense of humor, I'm not sure it's possible to get through any of his Trek novels without laughing or at least smiling at at least one of his jokes. But despite this, his work could also be extremely poignant when it had to. He was a real...
Not trying to be critical of Benjamin Bratt, but there wasn't really anything Emmy worthy about his performance. Likewise, as much as I like Varada Sethu, her role in S2 of Andor was relatively small and doesn't really merit an Emmy either.
I'm only forty exactly and I know who Omega is. Granted, I have the benefit of an uncle really into Doctor Who and had a working knowledge of DW trivia and lore for several years before I even started watching Doctor Who as a result, so my experience and knowledge may not necessarily reflect...
