Never before seen Star Trek photos

It's nice that there is a magazine devoted to the original series, but for hardcore fans, this will be a letdown. None of the articles (except for a Kirk/Pike comparison credited to Larry Nemecek) have bylines and there are numerous errors. According to the magazine, "The Trouble with Tribbles" was the season 2 opener. I'd list more, but I don't want to steal Harvey's thunder.
It does have some nice photos I'd never seen before. Some behind the scenes stuff on "The Cage" and a photo (with an incorrect caption) of Nimoy, Montaigne and Shatner relaxing between takes on the set of "Amok Time".

I like the pic of the camera crew working around the "Rocky Knoll" set of the Cage with the caption:
"IT TAKES A VILLAGE: For the production of "The Cage," the southern California desert became the planet Talos IV--known as Clesik to its native inhabitants."
If there were not enough bad things about the magazine, the cover looks like the kind of work one would see from an unskilled Photoshop hack from the 1990s. Moreover, CBS' insistence on using the awful, cartoony TOS-R Enterprise on this cover (and most licensed material) does no one any favors. Is is not the original miniature best known by TOS fans.
I was in my local walgreens the other day. I was Standing in line to pick up some odds and ends for Christmas shopping and Behold I saw this star trek mag and picked it up quick at the checkout. Im a sucker for colorful pictures. At least the pages are thick and gloosy and solid. Its just ok. Love the pictures though. Im just glad there something out for TOS. Reminds me of when I picked up the 25th anniversary mag.
I do remember when I picked my copy up there were a ton on the shelf. A few days later I had to swing by walgreens to pick up some toilet paper (yeah I hang out at walgreens lol) there were down to like 2 r 3 copies. So the mag is selling. TOS lives!

I guess that helps when "stuff" spills all over the pics when one gets sloppy.
Yeah, it is that dumb...and the long past its shelf life "It take a village" line did not help matters.
It's that blueprint that gets me.
It's a new take, at least, if not less.
Now it might be CBS only has rights to the series, not the movies.
Were I to have a magazine--I might call it Starfleet In Action.
The magazine would be wide, like CINEFEX, and nothing but shots of ships throughout the series.
Very little on the NX-01, then Doomsday Machine, Balance of Terror, Enterprise Incident--several stills from ST:TMP, ST II and especially ST-III.
Probert's Enterprise C, Wolf 359 and Way of he Warrior, and one or two from Voyager.
That's what I'd like to see--with perhaps most ship pix from ST III.
We got Ken Ralston in the latest Trek magazine.
In the concept I was talking about--maybe some drawings of concepts from all the artists.
And--sorry guys--not one actor in the magazine at all--the polar opposite of what we are getting.
Ships of the line isn't enough for me.

For what it's worth, the "...known as Clesik to its native inhabitants..." comment isn't totally from out of left field: the "Indigenous Name" of Talos IV was established as "Clesik" by Shane Johnson in his 1989 book The Worlds of the Federation.
Where crap normally comes from -- pulled out of someone's ass, apparently.
Unfortunately, the internet has allowed for lazy research to become far far more easier.
True that.
I bought it. Not because it had any great content. Rather, I bought it because it reminded me of my youth where you could only get info on star trek (or star wars, for that matter) through magazines like this. It's my own personal trades, taking me back in time.
Besides, if we show demand for TOS maybe they won't keep forcing jj's vision on us. (apologies to those who like the reboot)

Man I hinted at wanting this for Christmas. The wife may end up getting it for me. Kinda sad they don't have actual vault stuff that they'd release.
