Have you seen The Orville yet?

Oh great, you're going to turn this from a Trek tat thread to a Trek vs Orville thread.

 

[trampledamage]

Nah... this'll remain a Trek tat thread.

Anyone who wants to discuss The Orville, there's a Sci-Fi forum on this board for that

That was not my intention at all, I was just wondering if he'd seen it.

 

[BillJ]

No. It just imitates past Star Trek.

So it has a lot in common with Discovery.

I have the glossy cinema programs for TMP, ST II and ST III since those films premiered but only recently realized that there were Japanese-language versions for ST IV, V and VI! Three recent eBay purchases!

This week’s “Waypoint” Special from IDW came out. It includes four stories. One, “Consider Eternity”, is a long-anticipated post-ST:TMP story...

Used some of a Christmas gift card to get digital collection of ST:TNG: Through the Mirror, the Prime TNG /MU TNG crossover comic book miniseries.

For Christmas I got the complete TOS tv episode Novelizations by James Blish in a really nice leather bound book. Also I got some really cool Star Trek Tos playing cards and a Star Trek Tos Calendar.

For Christmas I got the complete TOS tv episode Novelizations by James Blish in a really nice leather bound book.

It's not "complete", more of a "best of..."

"This anthology collects 45 classic episodes that aired in the series’ first three seasons."

Yep. If it is the same one I have...

"This anthology collects 45 classic episodes that aired in the series’ first three seasons."

But it IS a nicely produced book. I hope they do a second volume with the rest of Blish's stories, though.

I still have the 3-book anniversary set that reprinted the Blish adaptations in episode production order by season, but which for some reason left out the two Mudd adaptations that J.A. Lawrence did in Mudd's Angels. Which is annoying, since I no longer have Mudd's Angels.

It annoyed me, too, but then I realised that the renamed "Mudd's Enterprise", with lovely new artwork of Roger C Carmel, made a handsome companion to the three-volume anniversary set.

That's the thing, though. Getting that book, under any title, would require getting the really bad original Mudd story that J.A. Lawrence wrote to fill out the last half or so of the volume after the episode adaptations. My dislike for that story was why I sold my copy of the book to begin with. If only the adaptations had been included in their proper places in the 3-volume set, I could have them without needing to have "The Business, as Usual, During Altercations" thrown in as well.

 

[Reanok]

I have the the 3 book set of TOS tv novelizations James Blish I bought back in the 1990s. I also found a new Star trek magazine at the grocery store pulished by Parade magazine it's got articles and interviews about all the Star trek tv series and the J.J. Abrams Star trek movies too.

New "Little Golden Books" and a parody manual by Ian McLean, on Flickr

"I am Captain Kirk" by Frank Berrios and "I am Mr Spock" by Elizabeth Schaefer, the first ever "Star Trek" titles in the long-running "Little Golden Books" series. Both books illustrated by Ethen Beavers. In the centre is a 1992 parody of a Starfleet manual I found on eBay.

 

[McDuck]

Amazon says my copy of Star Trek Shipyards Star Trek Starships: 2151-2293 will arrive tomorrow, and I haven't been this excited for a book in some time.

My Trek reading mostly revolved around New Frontier and the DS9/TNG Relaunch. New Frontier sort of fizzled away and I got behind on the DS9R/TNGR series when life got in the way and now I'm 437 books behind, so this Shipyards is a step back in the right direction.

I feel a bit weird saying this as a single childless 30 year old, but I'm finding myself kind of tempted to get the little Golden Books. I love their art style.

Double or nothing here.

A third is coming, based on "The Trouble With Tribbles". Sadly, they forgot to acknowledge the original author, David Gerrold, or give an "adapted from..." credit.

I just got the e-book version of The Iron Codex, the second book in @David Mack's original historical fantasy series, Dark Arts.
