I once went out on a high—and it was the best date I ever had.

According to Mark Farmer, he's my captain.

O'Connell was a great Trek villain. R.I.P. More on his other roles here: https://deadline.com/2024/02/william-oconnell-dead-1235810929/

Sad news. On July 30th of 1988, I saw Tracy at a Creation Con event where Allen Asherman (the Star Trek Compendium), John DeLancie, and Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster) were also in attendance. There was also a presentation about the upcoming 2nd season of TNG. It was held inside a ballroom at NYC's...

When it comes to God and the Enterprise, I've always loved this Harlan Ellison story from the ST:TMP era: Paramount was looking for ideas for a mission that would be big enough to fly the Starship Enterprise from the TV screen to the Siver Screen. Big was the operative word. A parade of...

Sounds like you and Gerald McRaney are on the same wavelength! Although to be fair, I've never heard McRaney express a preference regarding bottled water.

In Star Trek production memos, Matt Jeffries referred to that symbol (seen on the exterior of starships and shuttles but never on interior sets) as a boomerang. Jeffries' boomerang design is apparently unrelated to the uniform insignia designed by William Theiss. According to Michael Okuda...

Exactly. I asked fans to tell me what they call it.

That's interesting. Cowboy movie actor Gene Autry owned a 1200 acre spread that he called the Flying A Ranch. Later, in the 1950s, his TV western series was made by his very own Flying A Productions.

Thanks for your reply. Of course, originally, the symbol in question was worn exclusively on uniforms of Enterprise personnel, and only later adopted by Starfleet as their general insignia. I suppose I should have directed my question to older Trek fans (a greying group to which I belong)...

I'm curious what fans here call the symbol associated with Star Trek—do you call it the Starfleet Delta, the Starfleet Arrowhead, or some other name—and what informed your choice?

The right-wingers that I know who profess to like Star Trek are really into the hardware aspects (ships, weaponry, tech) and the command structure of Starfleet. The episodes they counted as their favorites usually tended to be action-packed, with ship-to-ship battles, instead of Trek's...

TOS- Requiem for Methuselah (on Pluto TV) I've always thought the final scene with Kirk and Spock ("forget...") would have worked so much better as the tag for City on the Edge of Forever (and a good explanation why Kirk could appear completely unaffected by Edith's death in the next episode).

Agreed. I just watched the Mugato episode for the first time and it was so totally bonkers that I was able to forget all about the insanity going on in the real world for a little over 20 minutes.

My older sibling had a copy of Bjo's Concordance—but would rarely let me touch it. I still remember the little index wheel built into the saucer of the Enterprise on the cover. I think that's why I was so happy to get my copy of Allan Asherman's Compendium five years later—because of my...

Sounds like we're about the same age. I can remember buying my copy at the Waldenbooks inside Fort Wayne's Southtown Mall back in '81. That mall was torn down over a decade ago, but I still have the first edition of Mr. Asherman's Compendium on my bookshelf.

Just saw this sad bit of news over at Mark Evanier's blog: writer Allan Asherman has died at age 76. https://www.newsfromme.com/2023/09/24/allan-asherman-r-i-p/ For Trek fans in the pre-internet era, Asherman's Star Trek Compendium—and Bjo Trimble's Star Trek Concordance—were invaluable...

In a recent interview, Jonathan Frakes expressed a desire to be the Charlie (as in Charlie's Angels) for the future adventures of Seven, Raffi, and Jack Crusher, as the Starfleet officer they would report to for their assignments...

Busy with lots of non-Trek related stuff today but I did manage to make time to watch Where No Man Has Gone Before on Paramount+ while eating dinner.
