This precisely summed up my issues with the movie. I liked it, but it missed several things, which you well enumerated here. My addition to it would be the attempt to compress the story in a very poor way: moving Command School from the Asteroid Belt to the Formic colony world. First, to get...

Well, I now do know how to get this. PM me if you are interested, and I can help.

Still no public release then?

Any word on the blog? I keep checking back here out of excitement :)

They really only face them twice ship-to-ship: once when Q introduces them, then helps them get out of the jam, and once when they could have nearly destroyed earth if not for the fortuitous interference of the assimilated Jean-Luc. Minor encounters with Hugh and with the rogue Borg led by Lore...

Don't sweat it :)

I didn't include an Enterprise-A portion of my list, and I should. There is a lot of interesting stuff there, and it hadn't even occurred to me when putiting together my book wishlist. After all, as far as we see, that vessel gets almost no love, no attention. They just commission it, it goes...

Resurrecting an old thread because I wanted to comment on it, but wanted to see if such a thread existed first. I enjoy some of the Voyager stories, but I agree that the series rather weakened it. Species 8472 was ridiculously powerful, and it annoys me that the Borg were unable to utilize any...

I am aware of the meaning of varelse (according to Card). It means that communication and coexistence is impossible. Obviously communication between Klingons and Humans is possible, and that's why I said "almost seeming varelse". What I mean is that they seemed as if they could never coexist...

I agree it was too convenient, except when they had to come up with some silly reason why it wasn't so they could make the plot work. What probably bugged me most was the transporter room. Why even have it? You don't have to either start or end there? Why not just beam from wherever you are...

I admit there seems to be a disconnect between the feelings towards Klingons between TFF and TUC: they were okay throwing back a few alien beverages with them, but when their moon blew up, well then "let them die!" Still, I believe the prejudice existent in ST VI is actually pretty realistic...

Since I'm new, I have been surprised by how many times this site is graced by Star Trek celebrities. :) Captain April is a fascinating character to me, in part because of his limited screen appearance. I am looking forward to learning more about him. NightJim, I've only read one Peter David...

Truthfully I haven't seen the Alternative Redux, but it's supposed to be even better than the one it sounds like you've seen. It might suit your fancy :)

Well, that actually is good news, because I just started reading Final Frontier. I like his character (all one chapter of it that I have read). I already have read Best Destiny, also by Diane Carey, and which I'm confident was written after. His character was obviously portrayed similarly...

I'm very much a noob in the Star Trek literature, and in the past assumed the stories were largely standalones, and mostly could be interpreted as further episodes squeezed between those shown on TV. Now I'm realizing just how much they flesh out the missing spots, considering the sections and...

Well thank you Maab. Yeah, I'm kind of shy in new forums, so I haven't posted enough to give or receive PMs just yet. I will email you. Help is much appreciated, as it's a slow going project.

If the comics are well done, I hold no reservations against them. I'm honestly really interested in the Early Voyages. I'll have to check them out when I get the chance. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Thank you :) I'm sure there are other books I'm missing, but I'm definitely open to expanding my list. EDIT: Checking out that other list, I didn't realize there were so many books set that period! I'm glad they expanded on it, as it's disappointing how much empty time was left between TMP...

I'm a huge fan of fanedits, and this probably won't be the first suggestion I make to check one out, but the following edit is nearly made to your order. http://www.fanedit.org/ifdb/component/content/article/79-fanedit-listings/fanfix/412-dune-the-alternative-edition-redux I still have a...
