    How much interest is there in "The God Thing" being completed and released?

    I was watching a video on YouTube and apparently Roddenberry had a book started with elements of what would become the first move called "The God Thing". Walter Koenig also worked on the book. They went back to the idea in the 90s and even did the cover art for the book, but it was still...

    Building the Eaglemoss Enterprise-D partwork

    Eaglemoss has a (very expensive) partwork where subscribers slowly build out a 2 and a half food Enterprise-D over two years. My first Star Trek experience that I deeply got into was TNG, and I absolutely love that ship. So, even though it's very expensive, I'd love to slowly build up that...

    Is there any interest in a Lower Decks book?

    I might be in the minority here, but I would be interested in a novel length Trek tale that has a decent amount of humor. Lower Decks would be a great fit. I have a feeling if we get anything like that it will be more in line with a graphic novel instead of a regular book, but I can dream, right?

    Giving away my first two Kindle gaming books for free

    The first book is called Afterglow, and is a look into when I was a child and how I grew up as a gamer. The second is called The Virtual Boy Game Library, and looks at the Virtual Boy system as well as all 14 NTSC games released for it. So, why am I posting this in a Star Trek forum...

    Are there any Captain Spock books?

    We know Spock had command of Enterprise in the period between the first and second movies. It had been delegated as a training vessel, but I'm sure some good stories could still be told of Captain Spock. Has anyone already done this?

    Plot hole in Wrath of Khan, or am I thinking wrong?

    Alright, so at the end of Wrath of Khan, he arms the Genesis device, and Enterprise must dart out of range before it blows. What I have always wondered is why not just beam it into space at maximum dispersion to destroy it? It's obvious that Reliant doesn't have shields at this point, and...

    The Red Federation ship in Into Darkness

    I haven't seen ANY discussion on this, but after many years of seeing Starfleet using mostly grey/silver ships, Into Darkness brought us a black one (heck, they may have used black earlier in Trek that I am not remembering) and a red one? In the scene where the shuttlecraft ferrying Kirk and...

    An interesting what-if (spoilers)

    Ever since the first movie, I had wanted Pike to be a villain in the second movie, perhaps becoming bitter at needing to pass the big E on to someone else. I was wondering how that would fit in the newest movie. I could see Pike being in the role of Marcus instead, and feel it would have made...

    DS9 Turbolifts

    I've always wondered about the lift that goes to ops, the one thats sort of open. How exactly would that work? The one in TNG that ended up malfunctioning and throwing Geordi all over the place, that was due to the inertial dampeners messing up in it, right? Wouldn't the dampeners bleed out...

    Where would I find information on the Star Trek CCG?

    Hey guys, I've recently picked up a lot of Star Trek cards for the CCG. Me and my friends have played Magic the Gathering for years, and a few of us are trek fans, so we have started gathering up cards to play. I picked up around 250 cards at a flea market to start with. Than I went on eBay...

    Is TAS considered canon, and a close "cousin" to TOS?

    Just was curious what the concensus here was. I really enjoyed TAS, some episodes moreso than TOS in some regards. Personally I look at it as a season 4 of TOS, giving us a view of more of what happened in the original five year mission.

    TOS Box set differences?

    Well, I recently picked up the final box set to polish off my TOS collection. Its the old style ones, Solid box split vertically. At Walmart they have newer versions in clear boxes that look like they are split vertically. Is there any major differences between these sets? Do they have the...

    Enterprise DVD price inflation?

    In my slow quest to get all the Trek seasons on DVD (sitting at 18 I think right now) its kinda funny how the prices skew. Since I am buying used from eBay and Amazon, prices usually range around 25 to 35 bucks per season. Well, I got lucky and picked up Season 1 of Enterprise for 20, but the...

    Best device for reading Trek books?

    I prefer handhelds for reading instead of actual books. Its nice to have instand delivery instead of either driving 35 miles to the nearest store that sells Trek books or waiting for them to be delivered in the mail. Right now I am using an iPod Touch for it, and its worked alright, but the...

    Are there differences between US and Canadian Voyager DVD Sets?

    I began picking up all the DVD box sets of Star Trek on the cheap when and where I can find them. I picked up Voy season 1 and 2 locally from Wal-Mart. The sets come in plastic cases where the plastic splits in the middle. Afterwards I ordered seasons 5 and 7 from the same person on eBay...
