    How many times did Kirk falsify his log?

    Regarding Khan I find the idea that new evidence of what he had done was discovered after the Primesverse and Nuverse split extremely unlikely and given that the history of the two universe's was identical until long after Khan was exiled his actions before exile were identical. And in TWOK...

    What Star Trek novels do you want to read?

    The SNW and SFCoE books I haven't read I've either read everything else or believe I have read it.

    Janice Rand in Trek Lit.- Possible Spoilers

    If I remember right the theory is that Rand got raped by Kirk's evil side when his good and evil halves were split and that was how she was impregnated. I don't think Kirk ever knew who the father was though.

    Poll Geordi vs Miles...who'd be YOUR Chief Engineer?

    Miles O'Brien because his skills seem more versatile. La Forge has been a pilot and a chief engineer on screen and a captain in a possible future and briefly in the post Nemesis novels. O'Brien has been a tac officer, helmsman, and engineer.

    Dax, Reporting For Duty

    In the end I had to roll an eight sided die between Ezri, Jadzia, Curzon, and Tobin with 1 and 2 being Ezri, 3 and 4 Jadzia, 5 and 6 Curzon, and 7 and 8 Tobin. And rolled a 2 Lela and Audrid are great civilian leaders but I'm not sure that would translate into great Starfleet officers or...

    Don't Starfleet train in zero-g?

    I thought McCoy's main problem in TUC was not knowing Klingon biology well enough to deal with a Klingon in critical condition?

    Riker, Data, and La Forge: Why and How?

    I'm pretty sure that the Laforge question was answered in Generations. After his visor was used to gain the data needed to wreck Enterprise he probably decided it was time for a change.

    Rules of Engagement thoughts.

    If they have absolutely no reason to believe Defiant would be there yes. Consider how big space is. The odds of a ship not only decloaking inside the battle zone but decloaking exactly where the attack pattern shows the bird of prey decloaking next and not being the bird of prey are what? A...

    Rules of Engagement thoughts.

    Yeah I love the episode to I just feel like Sisko is off base by acting like Worf was only acting to protect the Defiant and its crew rather then acting to protect the convoy as well. If Defiant had been alone he would have a point or in a Starfleet formation but she wasn't alone and the ships...

    Rules of Engagement thoughts.

    IMO its a little different. If you are escorting a convoy that is under attack your first objective is to eliminate the attackers. If some dummy flying a civilian ship enters the combat zone and drops cloak mid-battle they screwed up massively and the results are on their head.. Sucks for any...

    TMP Senior Staff

    I think it was just Decker reacted faster. Decker might have realized Kirk would resort to Phasers first rather then risk torpedo detonation at that range. In the novelization Kirk had actually heard of the plan to boost the phaser power but had sent a message explaining why it was a bad idea...

    That one episode that stands out for you...

    Should have been Generations. The probelm is that in the case of the Wounded there was something. Its part of a long string of the Cardassian government of this period proving that it can't be trusted but the Federation ignoring this and forging a peace at all costs, or at least at a cost...

    Could the Pike era have worked?

    Another question is would NBC have allowed them to cast a black woman as First Officer at that point? I read somewhere that there was an episode where originally Uhara was going to be left in command of the ship while most of the main cast was on a planet but someone forced a rewrite so that...

    Dreadnaught

    The Maquis are almost never seen destroying civilian targets or aiming to kill civilians. The exception was Eddington's campaign, which allowed the Cardassians time to abandon the targets if memory serves, and ships they believed were transporting weapons or WMD components. I'm sure there were...

    The Parralel Lives of Harry Kim.

    IMO most of, if not all of, the characters in Voyager that were badly handled were due to the writers screwing up rather then the actors. Look at Neelix. Most of the time IMO he's the most annoying character on the show but when the writers are treating him like a clown he's decent. Or Chakotay...

    Icheb needs more fun....

    Am I the only one who found the discussion betweenIcheb and the Commanding Admiral of Starfleet in the last Voyager novel hilarious?

    Rules of Engagement thoughts.

    I just finished re-watching Rules of Engagement. Am I the only one who thinks Sisko was out of line for chewing Worf out at the end of the episode? Sisko talks about how Starfleet officers aren't supposed to ake actions that will even potentially put civilians at risk to protect their own...

    How did the Sarah Sisko Prophet end up in the Orb?

    The latest DS9 novel seems to imply they were from Bajor's distant past if anything though it hasn't been explained fully.

    Question for authors: Rejected ideas, are you allowed to share?

    I've read every Terminator novel, and pretty much every Star Trek novel except for a few that came out before I was born or when I was very young which dad never owned copies of and that I've never managed to find copies of in decent condition. I read fast and probably own somewhere in the 1500...

    Question for authors: Rejected ideas, are you allowed to share?

    Now I have an image of Wash flying a P-47 stuck in my mind. At least I think the plane in Cold War was a P-47.
