And I always thought Rob Lowe.

I almost tend to avoid “canon”. It gets in the way of what I want, which is adventures with characters I like. During DC’s New52 era, I found myself looking to out of continuity stuff so I could avoid a “canon” I didn’t enjoy. It’s one of the great things about Star Trek novels, they’re just...

I know you’re not asking me, but I liked it a lot. It was very easy to envision the specific Batman the book was using, and it was fix watching that world be fleshed out.

You’re talking Seldon crises. I dig it.

Right. It’s a prequel to a plot point that loads of people seem to agree makes no sense in a movie that in general was pretty bad. Another example. Rogue Elements may be one of my favorite Star Trek books of all time. It came out during the run of Picard, a show I didn’t necessarily love. But...

Pretty big mistake to publish that issue weeks after Section 31 came out. I can’t imagine anyone is clamoring to read it. I, uh, bought it anyway.

What was the weird stuff in Mission to Horatius? I have it, I’m looking right at it, but I’ve never read it.

But if I could name a name, would the name be “Norman”?

Kicks that are punches? I’ll DEAN my way out.

My absolute favorite worst book is SweetBitter. I recommend it to everyone.

Eh, for the first couple of volumes LXG was ridiculous and fun. Then it got creepy and weird.

I got the first four Buck Roger’s XXVC books. Anyone have any opinions?

A woman I work with is the daughter of someone who is published in that first SNW. Her mom is kind of well know in fanfic circles, as far as I can tell. I think I’m the first person she’s ever met to care about her mother’s writing.

As a kid who was born in ‘83 and whose first movie was IV or V (his father is worthless for this kind of information) but at the very least had IV as one of the only VHS at his house, IV works because it was totally the world outside his house.

And it really has almost no antecedent. I want to say it’s almost like a literary artifact.

I dunno. I forget how old she is, but let’s say she’s born in 2000, it might be real easy to believe she has no idea why Coke cans used to say “original formula”. I was born in ‘83, I’m an elder millennial, and it’s not like I had much contact with New Coke. I might have first found out about it...

Because the word that we focus on shouldn’t be “canon”, it should be “continuity”. “What’s in continuity” is a valid question, helping to understand what parts of a specific story relate to other parts of the ongoing narrative. “What is canon” is a mostly bogus question that is basically...

Not cover exclusive, but it’s gotta be the TMO adaptation. Or the James Blish stuff. First Frontier with regards to dinosaurs. Where’s the Trek cover with gorillas on it?

Like, is Natalija Nogulich’s portrayal of Nechayev… let’s call it “overly antagonistic”? I say no. Is it easier for writers to portray her as that? I say, probably?

I wonder, is it easier for us as humans to perceive that nuance that you’re talking about when watching actors as opposed to when we’re reading about those same characters. @Christopher is certainly more experienced in bringing those nuances to life, and certainly may disagree, but at the same...
