Just an FYI to anyone who hasn't heard: Mike W. Barr, writer of the early issues of DC's 1980s Star Trek comic, the odd issue of Marvel's 1980 series, Chapter 2 of Mere Anarchy, as well as the 2003 novel Gemini, is in dire straits right now due to a series of medical and financial difficulties...

Just a quick question re: Janice Rand. For my Star Trek Timeline, in the absence of any other information, I recently decided to use Rand's stated age of 24 from the first draft script of "Miri." This gives her a birth year of 2242, which enabled me to pinpoint a possible start date for her...

I just finished watching David Gerrold on the 7th Rule podcast with Cirroc Lofton and Ryan T. Husk. It's a fascinating conversation, and Gerrold is very frank about things that happened behind the scenes of both TOS and the early days of TNG. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of both shows...

It's Wednesday, January 23rd, 1974. You're a Star Trek fan who misses your favorite series since it was canceled nearly five years before. You look in the TV listings for that night and you notice that there are two TV-Movies airing that night, each one involving Star Trek alumni. The first...

...You have to sacrifice a season of another Trek show to get it. (The cosmic balance must maintained!) Which show do you get one more year of, and which season of which show do you eliminate and why? The Ground Rules: For the purposes of this discussion, we'll only allow Trek shows that have...

WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for the latest Strange New Worlds episode "Subspace Rhapsody"! Proceed at your own risk! Well, canon has finally given us an answer to the question I posed in this old thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/david-marcus-what-did-kirk-know-and-when-did-he-know-it. As...

Just wondering about this. Who was the most welcome or surprising character return in Trek for you? Where you unexpectedly saw a familiar face pop up and you went, "Wow, cool! They got this person back!" In the interests of keeping the poll to a reasonable length, I'm instituting a few ground...

SPOILERS for the SNW episode "Lost in Translation." So the latest episode of Strange New Worlds establishes that James T. Kirk becomes the first officer of the Farragut at the rank of Lieutenant, around the same time that Christopher Pike is promoted to Fleet Captain. But according to Memory...

So the big thing that sets SNW Pike apart from his previous incarnations is that he knows what fate has in store for him. He knows he's going to be crippled saving cadets after being exposed to Delta Rays on a Class J Starship when the baffle plates rupture. He even knows that names of all the...

So over the last couple of days I've watched three random episodes of TAS ("The Infinite Vulcan," "The Time Trap," and "Albatross"), and I'm still mixed on the series at best. The limited and constantly recycled animation, the more simplistic and kiddiefied approach, and WAY too many sequels to...

Hey, quick question: Has any Star Trek show established a point in the Vulcan male's life where the Pon Farr cycle stops (sort of like a Vulcan menopause, I suppose)? Or is it just "You're seized with an uncontrollable urge to mate every seven years from now until whenever you die"? Would Sarek...

So assuming that Fry's ratio of good to bad TOS episodes in Futurama's "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" is accurate, which 30 make the cut for you? (You can choose fewer episodes if you'd like, but for the purposes of this thread, you can't go over 30. We'll count the two-part "The Menagerie" as a...

So last night Robert Hewitt Wolfe posted this on his Twitter account: This led to a couple of the most entertaining hours I've ever spent on Twitter. Check out all the madness here if you'd like. Among other things, he talks about exactly what happened between Garak and Bashir, whether all...

I just learned a neat bit of trivia about George Takei's life that colored my reading of "So Near The Touch," the story Takei cowrote with Peter David in 1990's Star Trek Annual #1 from DC Comics. For those of you who haven't read it, the story concerns a romance for Mr. Sulu with Dr. Corazon...

I'm rewatching "The Apple" on H&I, and it struck me that this episode debunks several Star Trek myths. STAR TREK MYTH #1: The Enterprise has multiple transporter rooms. BUSTED: The teaser of this episode shows the landing party beaming down in two groups. Group One is Kirk, Spock, Chekov...

Placed in General Trek because this touches on both TNG and TOS. In "Unification, Part 2," Picard, Data, and Spock are being held captive in a room by Sela. Fortunately, they devise a way to get out pretty quickly: So Spock and Data create a hologram version of Riker and two security guards as...

So after a few years of starting up new threads with various questions relating to my Star Trek Timeline (Here's Part 1, going up to the 23rd Century, and here's Part 2, covering the 24th Century shows), I figured I'd just start a dedicated thread to it. This way I can have everything in once...

So while working on my ST Timeline tonight, I came across this dialogue from the 7th season episode "Attached", while Picard and Beverly are mentally linked: So that reads to me like Picard is saying that he's known Beverly for 20 years by that point (2370) and that she was already married to...

I just looked at the listing for the long-delayed The Autobiography of Mr. Spock on my Amazon Wish List, and I noticed that the author is now listed as Una McCormack instead of David A. Goodman. The cover art has been changed to feature McCormack's name, too. Anyone have any idea what happened...

So today I was adding in information for the character of Finnegan in my Star Trek Timeline (in the absence of any birth date information, I'm continuing Michael and Denise Okuda's tradition of giving characters their actors' birthdays wherever possible), and, in double-checking actor Bruce...
