    The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 1

    Jacob namedrops "Cassie" right away, when he first meets Vikram. Apparently, she was the one who figured out how and when to rescue Vikram from the time bubble.

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    Honestly, that's not how media tie-in novels work. Readers who buy STAR TREK novels (or BUFFY novels or ALIENS novels or whatever) can reasonably expect that they will be consistent with the source material.

    The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 1

    Just watched the first episode, which was a lot of fun. The new team is appealing and I can't help being amused that the new Annex is located in Serbia, where most of Electric Entertainment's shows are filmed these days!

    Yep. "Werewolf of London" is pretty much the rough draft for Universal's later Wolf Man movies. For one thing, you didn't need silver bullets in that one. Ordinary lead bullets sufficed. A bit of Trek-related trivia; the movie begins with a shot of Vasquez Rocks, doubling as Tibet! :)

    The Wolf Man (1941) invented and/or popularized a lot of modern werewolf lore, but the full moon thing can also be in found Werewolf of London (1935), Universal's previous stab at a werewolf movie.

    a character I would like to see return in Strange New Worlds

    I wouldn't mind seeing more of him on SNW. There's nothing wrong with the character in theory, even if STAR TREK V disappointed overall.

    And prior to 1968 and Night of the Living Dead, zombie movies were often more moody and eerie than grisly. See White Zombie (with Lugosi) and I Walked with a Zombie (Val Lewton). Zombies were also played for laughs in movies like The Ghost Breakers (with Bob Hope). Old-fashioned voodoo...

    What happened to Star Trek Magazine

    Not all of them. There are still some stories left over from the last few issues, including two of mine: "Housewarming" and "The Lost Noel."

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    Oh, that's definitely canon. Meanwhile, I don't think I ever had a letter in a Trek comic but I was a pretty prolific comic-book letter hack back in the day, most in Marvel Comics like THE DEFENDERS, DAREDEVIL, etc. And I once had two letters printed in the same issue of STAR WARS, one of...

    What happened to Star Trek Magazine

    Surprise. I did hear back from Titan this morning. They say the error has been fixed: "This has been fixed. Free shipping module is now working. Please try again. Apologies for the error. "Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with and Thank You for your business!"...

    What happened to Star Trek Magazine

    I had the same issue. The email and ad both hype the "free shipping," but when I went to check-out, I got quoted a $20 shipping charge. And, no, I can't find any sort of bargain code in the email either. Dropped an email to customer service, but haven't got a response yet.

    Author Habits That Annoy You

    ^ Took me a moment to get this, until I remembered what thread this was . . . :)

    SINNERS is the finest vampire movie in at least 33 years

    Finally got to see this movie, after real life (darn it) getting in the way for weeks. Such a great movie. Can't wait to see it again.

    So What Are you Reading?: Generations

    Heck my very first published novel was YA novel titled ROBERT SILVERBERG'S TIME TOURS: THE PIRATE PARADOX (by Greg Cox & Nick Baron). Trust me, Silverberg's name was bigger than mine. :) Granted, that was less of case of a "collaboration" than of Silverberg lending his name to a packaged series...

    What's your personal headcanon for your favourite TV series, movies etc?

    The transporters in Star Trek were based on the pioneering work of David Hedison in The Fly. Mary Poppins, Dr. Lao, and the Nanny from Nanny and the Professor all belong to same secret sect of meddling, magical do-gooders. "Count Dracula" is a title, not an individual, so Lon Chaney Jr...

    So What Are you Reading?: Generations

    Newly acquired: FANG FICTION by Kate Stayman-London. And, yes, I am both impressed by and jealous of that title. :) (Currently being developed into TV series by Diablo Cody, apparently.)

    Why did the Federation tolerate some elements of Vulcan culture that actually may cause great harm to individuals?

    Nicely put. And, of course, remote colonies and outposts on the final frontier are more like the wild west. "Wagon Train to the Stars" and all that.

    Why did the Federation tolerate some elements of Vulcan culture that actually may cause great harm to individuals?

    Here's the thing: the idea that the Federation is literally one, big, giant, centralized "utopia," as opposed to an alliance of civilized worlds sharing certain common values and interests, is a very modern one, that bears little or no resemblance to the way things were depicted on the Original...
