The easy answer is to say "yes." But I think he was a parent who just couldn't relate to his children and placed undue burdens on each of them, from Michael to Spock. In his own logical way, he was preparing each child to deal with the realities of living on Vulcan and working for the Vulcan...

THE MAKING OF STAR TREK by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry -- the book that made me want to write for TV INSIDE STAR TREK by Robert H. Justman and Herb Solow Harlan Ellison's CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER: The Original Teleplay That Became the Classic STAR TREK Episode THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY...

I enjoyed this last episode. Although I would've liked more discussion about Ben leaping beyond his lifetime and the parameters of the OG project. But that's a minor quibble. Also, I love a good western. As for the other leaper... is it an evil leaper? Or is it Al leaping after faking his own...

That could be a common critique of a lot of fan films too! :)

Picard (and the 24th Century Starfleet) seems to view the Prime Directive how some now view the Second Amendment. He has a dogmatic, religious devotion to it. He's a letter of the law person not a spirit of the law. Of course, I prefer Kirk's approach to the PD. Shameless plug: This is...

I enjoyed this episode a great deal. But Freeman... boy did she screw things up. And I figured Beckett was gonna end up with the archologist somehow. Can't wait to see how things get resolved in the season finale. On a side note: I don't care for this episode absolving Picard's action on...

Yes. I was riffing on F. King Daniel's joke about Carl (aka the Guardian) sending Georgiou into the heart of a star, which was Beckwith's fate at the end of Ellison's script. ;)

If Pulaski was still on the show, they'd make "Sub Rosa" a Troi episode.

They might've. Joke's still funny either way! :)

I've no doubt that was the production's intent since it was very much about using real physics, especially for Earth tech.

Yeah that's how I've always seen them mentioned in any B5 tech—as radiator panels. Or as heat exchangers and emergency solar collectors.

This an oft-repeated rumor about a treatment Gene wrote for a potential TMP sequel that featured Kennedy. The Dallas assassination was never part of the story. Only a mention that restoring the timeline would doom him. This from documents both @Maurice and @Harvey (FACT TREK) have investigated.

In SNW, the original Enterprise is also called the "flagship." But in TOS it's never ever referred as such. It's just another ship in the fleet doing its job. Although technically in TWOK and TSFS, the Enterprise is a flagship since Admiral Kirk is in command. But TREK since TNG has been...

Here's someone's rendering of the previous stations I found on Pinterest.

Man that original plan was insane. I've often wondered how it'd have played out if we got BABYLON PRIME after B5. Although, the majority of the story beats did eventually end up in the show we got.

Right next to Beckwith!

I wonder if Al convinced Sam to bring Quantum Leap to the Navy and the DoD since they worked together on the Starbright Project beforehand.

Adam Ihle's original sketch had less of the beveled edges and felt more streamlined like the Galaxy Class. That's one of the things I hate about the Enterprise-E, it doesn't feel like the design builds on the TNG design aesthetic.

That'd be refreshing. Trek has become a very small insular universe unlike in TOS where it felt huge and unexplored. I want a ship out on its own exploring like the OG Enterprise with a crew that we've never met before. Far away from Federation territories and the usual enemies and allies...
