With the exception of the follow up to In History's Shadow I have quite frankly not enjoyed any of the TOS books in quite some time. The last one I can remember really liking was the one where Seven Of Nine, gets thrust back to the 23rd century. The most recent book the first entry in the...

And it's as good as I remember. The stuff with the mind reading machines on board the ship was very tense. The idea of a world where run away religiosity had created a society where "fiction" of any kind was banned is so Star Trek it's painful. There was some stuff that felt a tiny bit generic...

Hello everyone. I wanted to let people know that I have started a new Trek-centric blog. But I am planning for it to be about much more than just the stories. I am someone for whom Trek has impacted my entire world view and the blog will reflect that. For those who are interested here is the...

I had Trek on last night for background noise and I was playing Charlie X. My wife declared her desire for snack so we sat and ate popcorn chicken and watched the tail end before picking something to watch together. As I watched I realized something. The bit towards the end where the pain on...

Once upon a time, when you picked up a Star Trek book you pretty well knew exactly what you were in for. A story with your favorite characters about exploring space, meeting interesting new beings and then on to the next encounter. Oh sure there'd be the odd one now and again that might break...

I first noticed this listening to a podcast (and frankly it was so vehement that I won't be listening ever again) and then in the thread about Gene's daughters. What exactly is the problem that some people have with the man?

A Choice of Catastrophes is by Steve Mollmann and Michael Schuster. From the book jacket The USS Enterprise, under the command of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, is returning from a mission to deliver medical supplies to Deep Space Station C-15, one of Starfleet's most distant installations. All is...

Doctor's Orders When Dr. McCoy grumbles once too often about the way the U.S.S. Enterprise™ ought to be run, Captain Kirk decides to leave the doctor in command while he oversees a rountine diplomatic mission. Kirk beams down to a strange planet nicknamed "Flyspeck" to negotiate its...

Okay, I got an itch to watch Trek Westerns, so I did North Star from ENT (which is pretty awesome IMO) and Spectre Of The Gun from TOS (which has a stupid set up but a kind of cool minimalist Twilight Zoney kind of vibe) and then A Fistful of Datas from TNG. Now the episode is not bad. It's fun...

This weeks playlist focuses on episodes that deal with religious and spiritual topics. A note for those who haven't read one of these threads before, I place series in, in universe chronological order, so Enterprise comes first. Episodes are listed in the order given in their listings on...

From the people who brought us the Pop Culture and Philosophy series comes a new series focusing on Pop Culture and History and Star Trek is the focus of one of it's first titles.

So I went through all the episodes and movies and I've selected the ones that I believe give us a significant look at Earth's history as it relates to the future shown in Star Trek. My list broken down by show is... ENT Carbon Creek Demons Terra Prime TOS Tomorrow is Yesterday The City on...

The Trekmate podcast Ten Forward has a really neat recurring feature called Desert Island Trek. I thought it would be fun to borrow it for a thread here. Basically you are allowed five episodes from any of the series to have with you to watch on a desert island. I'm not sure if they allow the...

My apologies. When I got home after work I thought "Hey I need to put up the poll around midnight." And then my body tricked me with the old, "Hey I have something to show you on the couch, in front of the fan." Several hours later my wife is poking me and giving me the it's time to wake up and...

Okay gang. Here's the scenario. You have a friend. (I know, I know the amount of imagination required by some of us for this part is staggering but do try) This friend is into Trek on the screens but has Never read one of the books. Finally after you have badgered and badgered them they are...

I just finished re-reading First Frontier by Diane Carey and Dr. James L. Kirkland. As is the case with many sci-fi Geeks I am also a dino geek. And a story based on the idea that at least one group of dinosaur may have evolved advanced intelligence if not for extinction was instantly...

In all of it's various incarnations and in all forms of media Star Trek has often made use of settings and styles from a diverse range of influences often to the great delight of fans everywhere. Whether it's the 1930's gangland antics of A Piece of the Action, or Trek's homage to Die Hard with...

Prime Majisters Log: Two hundred and thirty second day of accord: No matter how many times I sit to update the official journal of my thoughts and feelings and actions as the elected leader of the whole of the world we have chosen to rename Lar-Dev I am always in awe, not only in the faith...

Let's say for the sake of argument that the future posited in Trek is a fact. First Contact, humanity advances, the Federation etc. So by the time of the 23rd/24th centuries what things would you like to see different? I'm not talking big things like no more homophobia ect, but more little...

The other day after reading and commenting in the thread about Trek Books at 2.99 I went to amazon and did a search and came upon one that was non fiction that was co-edited by David Gerrold. It included himself and others writing about various aspects of TOS. There was one article which I...
