People Will Talk by truespock A comfortable silence reigned in the captain's softly lighted quarters. It was just passed the start of the third shift, but the two men seated at the utilitarian desk, having long ago set aside the rapidly cooling remnants of their uninteresting dinners, were...

The Morning After by truespock It was oh-six-hundred in the busily cacophonous officer's mess, clanking plates and boisterous conversations all around the room, making Kirk and Spock wish they hadn't stayed up quite so late the night before. Ah, but the times for quiet companionship and...

I just finished re-watching Babylon 5 after not having seen it for many years--brilliant, compelling and not at all dated! In many cases, the level of character development meets, and occasionally surpasses that which we typically saw in the various Trek incarnations. Good, solid story arc and...

For the past 120 years or so, Sherlock Holmes has reigned as the indisputable king of fictional characters the world over. So, with the richly deserved popularity of the newest Holmes offering by the redoubtable BBC, it simply stands to tedious reason that American television would immediately...

Spock's Promise, chapter one Spock gazed through the glistening Queen Anne windows of his living room, entranced as always by the light spring rain casting a ghostly glow on the verdant garden in the chilly Oregon evening's last light. *A single beam of dwindling pink sunlight shone on the...

No doubt you've already considered that Star Trek is an artful blending of Humanism (B.F. Skinner) and Classic Archetypical Psychology (Carl Jung). We have our heroes: Kirk, the charismatic and innovative leader who 'doesn't believe in the no-win scenario'! His crew would gladly follow him...

I think the first thing we might do is to agree on exactly what psychology is; what's it for, what's it do? This comparatively young science (about two hundred years old, tops!) deals with our striving for a better understanding of ourselves and of each other, as well as how we fit in with...

The meaning of life. I really don't know that there IS any meaning to life. Are we each merely a completely random aggregation of plasma, proteins and electro-chemical responses, swimming in a soup of utterly arbitrary physical phenomena? Is the entire incredibly complex and varied experience of...

Our recent work with String Theory suggests the existence of multiple--even infinite--dimensions co-existing with our observable space-time continuum. In fact, the existence of these alternate realities is actually REQUIRED in order to make the math come out. Once again, the speculative fiction...

So, another one of Wesley's experiments goes awry. I have it on good authority that having a genius around is a serious pain in the ass, and we see this on nearly a weekly basis with everyone's favorite boy wonder. This time, Beverly gets caught up in a static warp bubble, effectively...

Spock-the legend, the icon, you say. But why? What's the appeal? How has this largely unprepossessing character--originally intended as an undefined background oddity, who very nearly didn't survive the first pilot episode, and who inherited his ultimate personality from another character who...

Hello fellow TOS fans! This seems like as good a topic as any for me to set up shop here with. I was only eleven when the 'sneak peak' Star Trek episode "The Man Trap" first exploded across our T.V. screens in 1966. Sitting cross-legged in front of the Magnavox black and white console television...

I am searching. Actually, I spend way too much time on my quest--several hours each day on the various Trek sites; every spare moment usually--but I'm guessing the end is nearing. You see, I am methodically traipsing across the planet, via the dubious 'miracle' of the internet, looking for...

Lots going on in this one. Spock's parents, Sarek and Amanda, arrive on the ship, much to Spock discomfiture. Sarek is still ticked at Spock for joining Starfleet, which happened 18 years ago. Spock is still in open rebellion against an unreasonably oppressive father. (God, did I live THAT one!)...

Certainly 'The Enemy Within' is ONE of the most thought provoking TOS eps. Robert Louis Stevenson was the first fiction writer to speculate upon the ramifications of physically splitting our 'good' and 'evil' sides into two independent beings, in the form of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', back in...
