Excellent! Thanks for the pointers. I'll check those out forthwith.
Could anyone point me towards any literature which talks about these three things: Why did Riker go back to being a commander after TBOBW? How...
I'd always just assumed that Chekov was thrown by having Kirk back in command that he was just automatically following orders. Given the positive...
Fair enough. I tend to think of the term "origin story" as a continuum. A pilot is an origin story until a later story comes along which provides...
I contest your use of the term "origin story" in this instance since a pilot usually establishes a character's origins - at least, insofar as is...
I agree, on-screen evidence is pretty conclusive that Spock was first officer in WNMHGB and Mitchell is at least senior helmsmen. HOWEVER, I...
Personally, I wish they had been more consistent with when the dress uniforms were worn. In TOS, they were worn in most court settings ("Court...
On the Miranda, Constellation, and Cheyenne, where is the deflector?
In perusing various reference works, Memory Alpha, and Ex-Astris Scientia, it is clear that no one agrees on the size of the Saber class. The ILM...
Just by watching the scene. As you can see in the screencap below, Chang is at an odd angle, clutching the bulkhead. If you watch the scene, he...

Chang was absolutely on board the BOP during the entire attack, including during his "blow you out of the stars" rant. There is subtle, but ample...
I don't think he should have left at all. There was no reason for his character to leave the ship. He had never once expressed a homesickness for...
I'm curious: what's your source for this claim? I keep seeing this claim that Voyager was Janeway's first command pop up here and there, and I...
Another quibble of mine: where has this notion come from that the E was a battleship? I'm going to ignore Nemesis and the absurd modifications...
My problem is the TNG aesthetic set up an expectation which was never again adhered to, specifically with the bridge. The idea behind the...
Some of the best music from the Star Trek cinematic efforts is in Star Trek V. Goldsmith was on point! The trio's theme, the encounter on Sha Ka...
Now we're getting into letter of the law vs spirit. There is another argument which might suggest that because of the method of replication...
I had always reasoned that the stardrive section was heavier than the saucer because the stardrive is where the deuterium tanks are, as well as...
Oh yeah! I totally forgot about the Vidiians! But, even that was treated as a novel new approach to transporter technology, despite most of...
