Steady as she goes, Z.

I still have TAS to watch. Half way through season 1 so far.
It’s very different but still loveable.

Once I finish TAS, I’ll re-watch the films again.
And queue up Netflix for TNG. :awsm:

So we all meet here now….. where no one has gone before…. lets hope we can keep this going. All the trek talk sort of died out shame really. Maybe it was on my quote and picture games lol.

I have just spent a fair bit of time re-watching some TNG Favourites… and some of the ds9.

I was never really a fan of the animated series. It never really made me excited. But one good thing (for me) was it had the original cast.

I think that’s the largest appeal for me.
I get to see the team work again.

I was reading that it’s partially cannon for some episodes.
It wasn’t intended to be cannon. Just a cartoon.

TNG I can’t wait to start. Used to watch episodes when I could back in highschool.

TNG AND VOYAGER for me. I like all the series and films. But those 2 are my fav.

The ending of ENTERPRISE really annoyed me lol.

Opportunity missed by not calling this thread "The Official Star Trek Phase II Thread". :awsm:

yes. Make it so.

*happy*

i was thinking about starting a thread called "Trekkie Corner" or something, but this suites me just fine.
We come in Peace. 😉

Permission to come aboard? Well, I guess so… besides, I’m already onboard, so you have to deal with the Squire, anyway!

Well, just a cartoon it is, and at the same time you could argue it is not "just" a cartoon. Besides from the fact that it features the complete voice cast (sans Walter Koenig, alas, because the budget was too limited to include him, so they offered him a script job instead), it also had many of the original writers, including the much under-rated and un-sung hero D.C. Fontana, who, as script supervisor and producer of the animated series, preserved much of the continuity and quality of the live action series. Other writers, who worked for the Original before, included Samuel A. Peoples, former trek director Marc Daniels (director of "The Doomsday Machine" and many other eps.), Margaret Armen, "Harry Mudd" creator Stephen Kandel, David P. Harmon, and last but not least, "Tribbles" expert David Gerrold, who addressed the canon discussion and the script quality in the the Animated Series in an interview he gave years ago:

Star Trek: The Animated Series (http://www.startrekanimated.com/tas_david_gerrold.html)

Writer-producer D. C. Fontana also discussed the TAS Canon issue in 2007 when giving IDW Comics (present owner of the trek license) an interview:

IDW: In today’s world, especially in a property like Star Trek, that has seen stories told in movies, TV episodes, novels, comic books, video games, e-books and even Internet-based fan media, too, the question of what constitutes “canon” is very much an ongoing debate. The episode you wrote for Star Trek: the Animated Series, “Yesteryear,” is the only one that contains material that is considered canon. What makes it canonical while the others aren’t?

DOROTHY FONTANA: I suppose "canon" means what Gene Roddenberry decided it was. Remember, we were making it up as we went along on the original series (and on the animated one, too). We had a research company to keep us on the straight and narrow as to science, projected science based on known science, science fiction references (we didn’t want to step on anyone’s exclusive ideas in movies, other TV shows, or printed work). They also helped prevent contradictions and common reference errors. So the so-called canon evolved in its own way and its own time. For whatever reason, Gene Roddenberry apparently didn’t take the animated series seriously (no pun intended), although we worked very hard to do original STAR TREK stories and concepts at all times in the animated series. What freed us there was the fact that we could do environments and aliens without the constraints of sets, makeup and costumes that would have been difficult to do in live action. The research company also worked on this series, again to keep us within rules we had set up in the original series and to keep references in terms of science/science fiction etc. accurate.

IDW: And a follow-up to that question, what does “canon” mean to you? Do fans put too great an emphasis on what is canon instead of just what makes a good story?

DOROTHY FONTANA: I like a good story— but there are certain basic ground rules established which I don’t think can be easily tossed aside. I really hated it when one of the features (STAR TREK V) came up with a half brother for Spock when I had always insisted he had no other siblings. But I guess it isn’t "canon" if I wrote it. Go figure.
[End of Interview]

The Squire says:
If you don’t know the Animated Series yet, watch it with an open mind. And if you know it already and have ignored it after a few episodes, or even after watching all 22 episodes, please reconsider and give it a second chance! 🙂

It appears I had the same brilliant idea as Zoran, only a few hours later. I too started a new ST thread, sending invitations to many of you.

Let’s stay here instead!

Here’s my trivia question, from that thread’s first post:

Last night I watched a 1970s TV-movie that had the highest ratings of its time, and three of its actors (all male) had been guest stars in original STAR TREK episodes. This TV-movie later became a series.

Can you name it, and the three TREK guest stars?

I Am Afaraid I Will Have to Pass This One. And As For Trivia I Don’t Think I Will Be Doing Much More of That LOL.

I Recently Started Re-Watching Some Of DS9 (My Favourites) And I Still Think Its True This Shows Is Really Slow Until Season 4 With The Joing of Worf, The Klingon Wars & More Dominion Activity.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched TNG and DS9. Just watched TOS, and figured I’d watch the next ones. I might even watch Enterprise, God help me!

If I may give my two cents, yes indeed, Goldsmith’s TMP beats even Horner’s "The Wrath of Khan", but TWOK is number 2 for me.

It will cost more than 2 cents lol. No TWOK is no 2 here aswell a wonderful score

i do not have a complete score from trek, that i like: i just like tracks of the different films….

The TV-movie that’s the subject of my trivia question had a sequel TV-movie. It included such guest stars as John Carradine, Wally Cox, Al Lewis "Grandpa Munster", and the Wicked Witch of the West herself, Margaret Hamilton.

The ensuing series had the name of the original TV-movie in its title.

Check back tomorrow for the answer, if by then you didn’t figure it out!

Spock’s Record Round-Up (http://spocksrecordround-up.blogspot.com)

[in Trelane’s high-pitched, annoying childish voice:]

Why? Why just ONE? I want THREE!! Look, I was the ONLY one who knew it! I want THREE! I want them NOW!!

Hurrah, a corner for Trekkies! *pulls up a chair* Coffee… black.

As I mentioned someplace else here last week, I’m currently re-watching Star Trek: Voyager on DVD, after going through all of Star Trek: Enterprise and then Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-Ray earlier this year. I’ve been watching since I was knee-high and have done everything save buying a uniform (spent far too much money on Diamond Select starships, written my own series, hunted down rare soundtracks and gone to multiple exhibitions).

Grew up with The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager on the BBC, 6pm Wednesdays and Sundays. Caught up with the original series years later.

While I adore the cinematic adventures of Kirk & Co. there’s a downside to being a child of the late 80s / early 90s in that (like older Doctor Who episodes) my interest in the television show with the shaky walls, bright uniforms and terrible special effects started to vanish as I grew up and my suspension of disbelief started to shrink. I respect the original series for the groundwork it created but it was a product of the 1960s and I’m unfortunately not (although I like the 1966 Batman, but that’s because it’s intentionally ridiculous and not trying to be a serious drama). Fortunately, I adore Star Trek: The Motion Picture and everything that came afterwards, so the impact of things like Spock turning up in "Unification" [TNG] and Scotty in "Relics" [TNG] isn’t lost on me.

I respect the 2009 reboot and Star Trek Into Darkness, but view them as what they are, namely a different take. If it had destroyed the "prime" timeline, I’d have been a bit more disappointed but I can count myself a fan of Pine, Quinto and the others because they’re off, doing their own thing, and they’re fun to drop by and see occasionally (and say what you will about the films, really do, but they’re consistently funny and spectacular, as most modern blockbusters are).

The further I’ve gone, the less I’ve enjoyed Deep Space Nine and it’s currently the only show / crew I own nothing about (save the moments Bashir and Quark popped up in other shows). I respect the show for what it did and the different direction it explored but I never connected with the overarching religious themes and many of the characters had backgrounds and motivations that I couldn’t connect with. A sucker for eye candy, however, some of the battle sequences are favourite YouTube clips of mine (although I do understand, and sometimes sympathise with, the argument that Star Trek shouldn’t be a war… conflicts like the Temporal Cold War and the Borg / Species 8472 war I liked because the starships were unwilling participants). The one moment I do strongly disagree with was Sisko lying to the Romulans to bring them into the Dominion War. Some of my "hero" captains have had darker moments (hey, makes good telly) but none of them have ever committed what I’d call a war crime (and what made it worse was that Sisko had multiple chances to do the right thing and walk away, but he didn’t… he looked straight at the screen and said "I can live with it" and, well, nope… just nope). I’m not here to make enemies, however, and totally respect that some fans absolutely adore that episode and that moment, and that’s great. It’d be boring if everybody were the same!

In an age where television shows, films and videogames are being pushed into darker territory (the "What Does It All Mean?!" syndrome) I think it’s vital to hold Star Trek dear and to keep watching the shows (even if I’ve seen them many times before) because, nine times out of ten, they overcome things and end with a nice positive note. Things can get better. People can be included. Tolerance will happen. Problems can be overcome with logic and reason and peace and understanding. And yet, the diversity of the shows is incredible, because you also get episodes like "Lower Decks" [TNG] and "Prime Factors" [VGR] and "Tuvix" [VGR] and "Memorial" [VGR] that pack a punch and make you think as the credits fade to black. And I know everybody always says this, but isn’t "The Measure of a Man" [TNG] just about perfect?!

Most likely I’m a Voyager first and foremost, with The Next Generation and Enterprise tied for runner-up. But I’ll always watch, and always enjoy, anything Star Trek.

Wow, sorry for rambling on. I really should get back to pretending to do some work!

See you… out there!

Welcome, WayneTech, nice to have someone as outspoken like you on these pages. You’ve made some interesting points, most of which I’m totally agree with. While it’s rare that someone’s putting VOY on top and more or less ignores DS9, your general statements about trek’s most important meanings and its impact on modern-era pop culture were defined very well. Each of us trekkies probably has their own preferences in the vast and ever growing trek universe, but there is and always will be a common ground for all of us where we can agree upon what’s really the core of trek’s philosophy. There’s a word for this kind of diversity: IDIC! 🙂

Many thanks, soundtrekker!

I kinda waded in with my opinions up there, apologies, but thanks for echoing the sentiment of IDIC, something I really try to live by. And that’s also the beauty of something as diverse as Star Trek, the diversity and the fact that there’s an episode for everybody in the 700+ shows out there. Every member of my family and every friend I know has, at some stage, sat down and enjoyed an episode, even if they can’t stand some others that I (or others) adore… or, to put it another way, somebody’s gotta love Neelix, right?!

Well, that’s an easy one, for a change, at least for me (ridiculously easy, to be honest!):

Fred Steiner (who joined TOS trek as the second composer, after Alexander Courage, and was argually the most important creative musical mind during trek’s three-year run)

He composed the score for TNG’s first season episode "Code of Honor" (1×04), the second regular episode after the pilot two-parter "Encounter at Farpoint" and "The Naked Now"

Here Is A Q.

In Your Opinion, What Is The Most Boring Episode (Or The One You Skip When Watching All Through) Of Each Series?

http://i.imgur.com/xsyILiR.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/NAohfft.gifhttp://www.da-files.com/artnetwork/todays-news-desk/03-10-15/img-07.gif

OK, Squire,

One matched set of Klingons coming up. Look under your bed on Christmas Eve. But don’t blame me if you lose your eyebrows!

Mr Gold’s question about skipped-over episodes:

———- Post added at 09:23 PM ———- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ———-

[/COLOR]Well, after an in-depth consideration of the Third Season of TOS for Marc C’s book, much of that season has regrettable moments. But even the worst, "Spock’s Brain," has its moments. Seeing ol’ whatshername spout on about, "You are neither Morg nor Eye-Morg" gives me all sorts of queasy pleasure.

For my money, that tingle is right up there with "You see? You see? Your stupid minds. Stupid! STUPID!" from Plan 9 from Outer Space.

And I’m pretty sure I haven’t even SEEN all of DS9 and hardly any of Enterprise. I’ll catch up with them in my vegetative old age I guess.

BTW, what is that finger action going on in your little animation? For both Picard and McCoy, there’s a bit in their sequence where for a brief instant either they’re waving a dagger in their right hand, unsheathing an instant banana, or … I don’t know!

Hey, what a great name for a 1980s band: Instant Banana!

Here Is A Q.

In Your Opinion, What Is The Most Boring Episode (Or The One You Skip When Watching All Through) Of Each Series?

Awesome dancers, Gold… and good question!

Can’t really speak for the original series or Deep Space Nine, as I don’t have those on DVD / Blu-Ray and don’t watch them through, but for The Next Generation, I usually facepalm at quite a few of the early Season One shows… mostly "Justice" [TNG] which I once saw beautifully described as "Wesley falls in a flower bed and must be put to death. So bad, you’ll want to die in a flower bed of your very own." I watched it recently on Blu-Ray and it was only tolerable when Picard and Dr. Crusher had a brief conversation about the weight of the Prime Directive (only for Picard to then completely abandon the Prime Directive ten minutes later). I also cannot stand "Up the Long Ladder" [TNG] from Season Two because at least "Shades of Grey" [TNG] was inoffensively bad, but picking up a whole bunch of racist Irish stereotypes and then turning Riker and Pulaski into cold-blooded murderers really, really gets me angry (doesn’t help that Riker and Pulaski are two of my favourite characters, making it an even bigger insult… wouldn’t have minded if it were Worf).

There are a handful of Voyager episodes that missed the mark, too. They’re the usual answers, like "Threshold" [VGR] for the ridiculous "warp ten turned me into a lizard, so I kidnapped the Captain and mated with her because reasons" storyline (although it did give us the gorgeous Type-9 / Class-2 shuttlecraft) and "Sacred Ground" [VGR] for the "I can see what you’re trying to do, but zzzzzzzz…" pacing.

Finally, with regards Enterprise, there’s only really one I outright dislike, and that’s "Precious Cargo" [ENT]. I don’t think a good script could have saved that actress and, likewise, a better actress would still have stumbled over the terrible script. Unfortunately, both were bad, and therefore so was the episode. As a fan of the music and production quality of the show, I was also deeply disappointed in Season Four, when the music started getting synthetic. "Bound" [ENT] and "Daedalus" [ENT] were dragged down even further as a result.

And I’ve ranted again. Sorry! This is just infinitely more interesting than work.

(Trelane won’t be aware of your move. Although he’s observing Earth, it’s of no use to you: wrong century!)

I Don’t Think So!! LOL What About That Live Event With Spock? He Was Gonna Let Us Die With That Meteor…. It’s Only That Spock Tricked Him That We Where Saved…

Spock v Q Clasic!

Feeling the need for a transporter as well… or maybe even a holodeck? Then you wouldn’t have to go anywhere, you could make places just appear around you.

The only mild inconvenience would be when it malfunctions every three weeks or so, but that’s no big deal. Everything has glitches. Just be on guard for ion storms, nebulae, photonic beings, Hirogen, wormholes, black holes and all other kinds of holes, Bynars, sentient characters, energy surges, Kate Pulaski, radiation, infections in the bio-neural circuitry, Seska, androids trying to merge their positronic net with your computer, evil clowns, Reginald Barclay and the handful of other random occurrences that may or may not deactivate the safety protocols and doom you and your entire family to a recycled scrip… er, I mean, "high-stakes dramatic crisis".

Oh, and if you do happen to score a transporter, don’t ever transfer your pattern to the holodeck "for safe-keeping". Unless you wanna be a one-eyed Russian assassin. Maybe it’s your thing.

Last night I watched "Revulsion" [VGR] which is one of the few episodes that I adore (Leyland Orser as a psychotic hologram… oh hey, missed him in the list above… trying to kill B’Elanna) and loathe ("Hey guys, look, Seven of Nine has bewbs and Harry is our high school kid avatar, hilarity ensues, I promise!") in equal measure.

holodeck: AFTER the move, yes.
Oh YES, as long as Risa is …kinda out of reach, a bit.

I would take a looooong vacation there. lying on the beach together with my husband (who is allowed to come as long as he does not mock the trek experience)

well, the transporter, yes i would like that too please, i would only need…i have no idea, as long as it takes to transport all our stuff 😉

I liked Revulsion too, good episode, btw.

Classic!!!

I Watched A Few Voyagers Yesterday. Fair Haven Was the Last One Of My Favourites and Such A Wonderful Score.

i have been noticing that quite several of the trek people (of different series) have been directing episodes of other tv series. anybody else noticed that too?

And films. Jonathan frakes directed the 2003 thunderbirds film for example.

I’ve gotten the impression that oftentimes actors get the itch to direct, whether as a creative stretch or for the feeling of control or for prestige, etc …

Vide (Latin for "take a gander at") Nimoy, Shatner (because Nimoy got to); George Reeves directed 3 episodes of Adventures of Superman; etc. It’s probably also a way to feel they’re being taken more seriously as an "artiste." Some of them show good talents for it.

I know I could never get on top of the gazillions of details required to do all of that stuff. Like roadway design or vehicle building, the amount of steps and details is staggering.

Wonderful Thing To Find Sorei

Over the weekend my current DVD run-through came up to "Year of Hell, Parts 1 & 2" [VGR]. Funnily enough, I’d always dismissed it as over-hyped and over-praised but, this time around, I absolutely flippin’ adored it. Some really beautiful moments and I didn’t even mind the reset button (it made sense and somewhere, deep down, I think they recognise what happened, or it at least had an impact on them… Janeway doesn’t mind going around Krenim space at the end and Annorax leaves his work behind to join his wife, two things that were out of the question at the beginning of the story).

That’s cool; I must admit, it was nice last night to return to more standard fare with "Random Thoughts" [VGR], seeing the crew get involved with exploring a new alien culture and deal with a moral issue. Plus, I’d never made the connection with B’Etor before! Nice to see her out of make-up, she was wonderful.

It bothers me that no box set has been released for Voyager. Lots of great unreleased cues from that series.

I Thought There Was One Due For Release This Year, They Must Have Changed It Yet Again. Well TBH Either They Will or Won’t And Now…..I Am Fed Up Of Waiting LOL.

It bothers me that no box set has been released for Voyager. Lots of great unreleased cues from that series.

Dark is right, Lalaland released their first Enterprise soundtrack last year and, at the time, said that 2016 would include a second Enterprise collection (which I’m super-happy about as I’m listening to the first one as I type and it’s amazing), a second soundtrack from The Next Generation and, most importantly, the first ever Voyager release.

Given that they usually push out a Star Trek offering (which is a guaranteed hot-seller) in the Christmas run-up, I’m still checking and holding out hope right up until November.

At the very least, they’re working on it!

Which leads to a good question: which episodes of Voyager would you like to see on the soundtrack? Personally I’m hoping for extended cues from "Dark Frontier" (David Bell is a genius) and "Scorpion" (Jay Chattaway’s theme for Species 8472 is often stuck in my head), as well as the melodic piece from "Year of Hell" and some of the lighter episodes (there’s already music from "Bride of Chaotica!" in the wild, which is great, but some of the fun stuff from "Concerning Flight" and "Fair Haven" might be nice). Otherwise the big predictable moments (like the attack on the Tactical Cube from "Unimatrix Zero", Captain Ransom’s death from "Equinox" and entering the Borg-infested nebula / the ‘deploy armour’ sequence from "Endgame") are safe to expect, I think.

Only Changed My Username LOL You Can Still Call Me Mr Gold LOL
Yes I Had Heard A Second Enterprise And Another TNG. Voyager Is A More Important Release. And Yes We Do Have Bride of Chaotica And Heroes And Demons. But I Would Abouve All Else Love Music For: Endgame, Scorpion, Author Author, Tinker Tailor Doctor Spy, Flesh and Blood Aswell As Many.

Enteprise I Feel Was A Good Enough Collection To Stay As 1 It Gave A Pretty Good Overall Collection Same As DS9.

I Was Debating on Reviving the Old "Picture/Quotes" Game. If you Are For It Let Me Know!

I would like to see Dark Frontier and Scorpion for sure. Some of the lighter material from episodes such as Tinkor, tenor, Doctor, Spy would also be welcome. Flesh and Blood had some good ominous music.

If you get a chance, watch Workforce parts 1 and 2…there is one cue in particular at the very beginning of part 1 which I think needs to see official release…as the camera pans across the vast alien cityscape..very Goldsmithian..Voyager had some of the best music from the later Trek series, in my opinion.

Pretty much all of the episodes you mentioned should be covered in such a set. Hopefully we will also get some alternates from the Goldsmith main title sessions, if any such recordings (still) exist.

I feel like demand for a Voyager set has been lower than for the other series due to it being less popular with trek fans, perhaps…shame, really. Hopefully such a set will renew interest in what was a very underrated series.

There was the voyager episode where the doctor found himself in a museum. People there had developed their own version of history and he tried to work with those people in order to make them see that thee might be other sides of the story. I I forgot the episode’s title but it was another really good one….

Season 4: Living Witness. Yes A Wonderful Episode!

One of my favorites. I think this was Voyager’s unofficial mirror universe episode; since it may have been difficult to explain how their true mirror counterparts might have been in the delta quadrant, they could do it this way without actually setting it in the mirror universe. Although they probably could have said they were there on a recon mission in advance of an impending invasion force, had they actually set it in the mirror universe.

I loved how they carried a Borg contingent on the ship and the doctor was portrayed as an evil android

It was set in the future. On a alien Planet after Voyager was destroyed the had parts of the wreckage and also a the mobile amitter the images (with android doctor) where what they thought had happned.

I know (although voyager wasn’t destroyed, there was tech left behind during a mission and the EMH’s backup file was one of those things.That setup gave the writers a great way to do a mirror version of the crew without actually having to set it in the mirror universe and explain the delta quadrant conundrum. The fake versions of the characters are how I’d expect their mirror universe counterparts to behave.

I watched TOS episode with the dooms day machine in it last night, one of my all time favorite episodes. Made me remember how it was being a kid when at any moment the USA and Russia could start a nuclear war.

"Ah, What A Lovely Episode…Just Reminds Me That Any Moment We Could All Be Killed!"

😀

That’s true, but what max tried to say was that in this episode the doomsday device the Enterprise encountered was a mass destruction weapon whose main reason was to keep the balance of power, and thus never was meant to be used, much like the atomic bomb of the USA and the USSR (the Soviet Union). It was, nevertheless, a time of uneasiness, which finally ended when the Soviet Union fell apart, and the Cold War ended. Today, the new challenge for the world is fighting Islamic terrorism, and even Russia is looking for old glory, thanks to a megalomaniac Vladimir Putin. A modern-day trek tv show surely would adress these themes nowadays.

I See. Thank You 🙂

On the lighter side I just finished watching TOS The trouble with Tribbles. The only thing the tribbles threaten was Klingons. The Great Tribble War was a time when the Klingon Empire was almost destroyed by the terrible tribble invasion. It was only the Great Tribble hunt that saved them and started a great snack food- roasted tribble on a stick.

I watched TOS the ultimate computer last night, another great episode-sort of like the movie War Games where to computer takes over but then realizes it is wrong and stops at the end.

No worries! Sorry to "nerd out." I clearly have no life 🙂

Thanks. I love that episode. It’s kind of like that short story by James Thurber, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"

Finished up watching TOS, I really wish they had done a series special at the end like a 2 hour TV movie or something like what they did with Firefly.

Of course, this series was an albatross around the necks of both NBC and Desilu — too expensive, a creator/producer who actively insulted and ignored the orders of the money people, and so on. Star Trek was supposed to just "fade away" but the fandom grew and caught fire when the "strip" M-F reruns started a few years later.

And "series finale" wasn’t even a thing in the 1960s mindset!

But somebody should come up with a brief "whatever happened to?" list (ignoring the movies and other series), similar to the end of American Graffiti, if they want. Ten short silly and/or emotionally moving statements would be fun to read!

"Captain James Kirk died of an alien venereal disease four years after returning from his five-year mission. Mr Scott defeated Apollo in an arm-wrestling match and won the attentions of Carolyn Palamas."

And so on.

Someone correct me if it’s already been done, but a TOS series "finale" would make a great premise for a fan film. They could revisit one of their guests (Mudd or Trelane, perhaps) and we could see the Enterprise return to Earth prior to its refit in TMP.

If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend reading J.M. Dillard’s The Lost Years

That would be immensely gratifying to watch.

"McCoy went to work in private practice and had a brief fling with a certain lovely trill female."

"Scotty took a long shore leave before returning to oversee the refit, during which he discovered the magic of bacon cheeseburgers."

And "series finale" wasn’t even a thing in the 1960s mindset!

Not quite. There was at least one tv show in that decade which had a series finale: The Fugitive. The final two-parter "The Judgment" had the highest Nielsen ratings ever measured up to that date (22/29/Aug/1967). But it was clearly the exception in those days. Other shows in that decade could have used similar series finals, like "The Invaders", another Quinn-Martin production, or the three Irwin Allen shows "Time Tunnel", "Lost in Space", and "Land of the Giants".

Started watching "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Series and movies. Interesting to see the Actors of that Time Period making their rounds through another Show, even Leonard Nemoy, William Shatner in the same episode along with James Doohan in another. I’ve only seen a couple episodes back then and wanted to finely watch them all. Even the "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E." that made it one season.

CORRECT on The Fugitive. I watched the finale, as a youngster.

Somebody later wrote a joke ending for the series, saying something to the effect that the final scene would feature Dr Richard Kimble relaxing on vacation after being exonerated. Then he would unscrew his one wooden arm and run off for a dip in the ocean.

(The joke being that he was the one-armed killer all along.)

So silly, I remembered the joke all these decades later!

Catching Up On Some Voyager. There Is A Doctor Who Looks A Bit Like Our Friend Lyedecker.

I’m glad I picked up the Voyager series earlier this year, I wasn’t much interested when it was released on TV, liked DS9 and TNG better and with work I didn’t really have time to watch much of it. Wish I would have gotten it sooner along with Enterprise.

I survived the move, we my laptop did not. luckily no data loss, and but a tablet is no real substitute for a laptop.

I will randomly be back here, but not really until I have my stuff back….

Now Patrick Stewart returns to TV with a new show where he plays a host in a talk show, and sort of.
Something totally different from trek, and from his character there.

Not much different from TNG: Each time Captain Picard summoned his bridge crew into the conference room, there was a talk show, hosted by Captain Picard, with his lionfish as his sidekick!

Sorei, sorry to hear about your laptop

It’s been quiet around here lately. Which series did you like more DS9 or Babylon 5?

It’s been quiet around hear lately. Which series did you like more DS9 or Babylon 5?

Ds9, i like baylon but prefer trek. Ds9 was okay from season 4 with worf.

B5 is like…. An original. It is not trek, and and yet I hold it very dear. It is special. Very special to me. The way they developed their several story arcs… Great. In that time, there was nothing like it.

At first I did not like ds9, but I do very much so now.
I like the dark and brooding aspects….

I always knew you had a dark side in you. 🙂

You suspected absolutely right 😉
Of course.

Enterprise had those dark moments too.
Stargate universe had lots of those.

Sorie, like you I didn’t get into DS9 at 1st, watch a few episodes of season 1 and 2. In season 3- The two part episode improbable cause and the die is cast is when I became a hard core DS-9 fan

I had a similar experience with BAB-5 I watched the 1st few episodes and didn’t get into it until season 2-3 when the shadows showed up-they made things very interesting.

My experience with DS9 and Babylon 5 went like this…when DS9 aired I was up for it just simply because it was in the Trek universe but by the mid point of the second season I had a hard time staying with it but like most of you I really started to enjoy it immensely by season 4 which I suspect was due to better writing and the introduction of a well known TNG character.

As for Babylon 5 I attempted to watch the first season when it aired and found it was very different from Star Trek in many ways and I wasn’t too enthralled with the characters. It wasn’t until a couple of years later when I revisited the show that I became a hardcore fan.

So for me if it was a toss up between DS9 or Babylon 5, B5 would win every time because the heart behind each main character touched me more than just one of DS9’s main characters ever did. When DS9 ended, I was sad but when Babylon 5 ended I cried along with my mother who was also a huge fan.

@Zoran

i understand that well. B5 is LIKE Trek to me.

I picked up all the BAB-5 spin offs and enjoyed them too. Wish they had not rushed season 4. My wife and kids were fans too, they wouldn’t miss an episode when we got into it. The shadow wars was a big hit and the return to earth which was rushed, wish they had added a few more episodes-just went too fast.

@max

the last season was not as good as th rest.
yes they rushed, i had that impression too, sad because up to then they were able to take their time.

Cant remember the last time i sat and watched Babylon 5 Thru…. I May Dig Out When I Finish the Long List of Stuff I Have to Watch.

On Season 3 of OUAT, got season 4 to watch again before 5 starts plus lots and lots so, babylon is added to the mile long list lol.

has anybody actually watched "Blunt Talk" with Stewart?
I am hesitant to watch, as he IS my fav captain…

Seen One, I Don’t Really Like It. I Hate Seeing Patrick Stewart Playing A Drunk And Swearing All The Time. Its Not Like Watching Him Growing Up 🙁
But I Was Pleased to See Brent Spiner Guest Star Great To See The Two Of Them Together.

I Don’t Know About These 2, Never Heard of them.

I will have to check it out, I also have a high opinion of Patrick, would hate to see him trash it.

Recently Spent Some time Watching Just My Fav Eps of Each Series. I Really Enjoy Watching them, I Did Watch the 2 Part TOS Epsiodes WithbCaptain Pike.

Hello, peeps.

Anyone know what this is about and what should I watch before watching this?
Star Trek: Renegades (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2621446)

It’s a prequel of sorts to set up the Series that’s suppose to fallow, made by several Star Trek Actors, that was hopeful that CBS would take it and run, but was denied, so they decided to raise the funding themselves and produce it.
I watched it and I thought that it wasn’t to bad. It had hints of amateur directing, but still entertaining. Good story. They may get better at it, and I don’t mean to make it sound bad at all. It’s worth a watch in my opinion. They are supposed to create more episodes, like once week or so.

Hmmm. I was only able to find like one torrent out there for it.

I imagine it’s under a strict budget, which would show up in directing, etc.

I will give it a look over this weekend.

There was another independent online-only trek production by the same producers before, in 2008, called "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men", also with several veteran trek actors (some of which are part of "Renegades" again, not nessecarily in the same roles). That earlier production had a closed story of its own (kind of follow-up to the trek-tos part of "Star Trek Generations", with some actors reprising their roles from ST-Generations), but has no relation to this new production, story-wise. There are torrents to be found for that, too, and it’s also on youtube.

Both movies are starring Tim Russ and Walter Koenig as Tuvok and Chekov, to name but two.

Thanks for the additional info!
Going to look them up on youtubes.

Just finished watching season 1 of TOS again.

I have forgot to check if CAN Netflix has remastered TNG up here:
http://www.treknews.net/2015/08/21/star-trek-tng-hd-streaming-netflix/

Haven’t been active for a while. Williamtaylor1969 got banned?

He got cancelled in 1969…

He got cancelled in 1969…Ba-doom tish! 😀

i have not watched renegades yet, somehow i am hesitant.
i have it though.
i have not been watching those "new voyages episodes" either…

Bought This Yesterday! 😀

Just now hearing about this…

CBS is already ruining the ???Star Trek??? TV reboot (http://nypost.com/2015/11/02/cbs-is-already-ruining-the-star-trek-tv-reboot/)

i don’t care
i am happy a new trek series is coming, i will love it, no matter what!!!

:this:

i don’t care

Me too.

People really should relax and wait what this is all about. There’s no point in judging about a new tv show in this early state. I’ll wait until I see the pilot episode. Alex Kurtzman as E.P. doesn’t necessarily mean this will be bad (nor good), but there will be more people involved in creating this, like writers, creative consultants, script supervisors, executive producers, etc., and we don’t know yet who these might be. There may very well be people involved who do "get" trek, and who might be influential in the creative process (people like Manny Coto, Ronald D. Moore, or other, yet unknown writers with similar background who do know their trek).

I just think it’s pretty shitty that after the pilot is nationally broadcasted on CBS you can only watch future episodes on CBS streaming service for a fee.
Maybe they will release season one after a year but I’m not gonna buy something that I don’t know much about.

The distribution model is something different, and yes, that really sucks, but the bright side of this is the fact that this new series isn’t anymore dependent on that awful Nielsen rating, where low ratings, even if the shows are of good quality, oftentimes will lead to premature cancellations (see "ST Enterprise", 2005!). Within a paid streaming service, the writers are more free in their creative choices and don’t have to find the lowest common denominator, to please the studio bosses and guarantee higher ratings with more sex, more action, and less quality scripts. Besides, this new show, with that kind of limited access for million people all over the world, will be the most pirated tv show in the history of the internet. Pirates always had their own kind of "distribution model". 🙂

Those are valid points soundtrekker. 🙂

Some of these protests indicate that some of my wonderful compadres have the mistaken impression that something besides PROFIT is behind the decisions.

It’s all about money. In the same way that Star Trek[B][I] was originally intended to be revived to help launch a Paramount 4th TV network (circa 1976), this new series is intended to draw bucks to a new service.

They don’t care about childhood memories, except to exploit them. The said fact is that no matter how angrily I might protest, the people than own the property OWN THE PROPERTY and will do what they think will make money.

As I’ve told my friends in the Yahoo! [B][I]Man from U.N.C.L.E. group, No matter what — your memories can stay happy!

Then you don’t really give a shit about Star Trek. I mean, if the brand logo is all that matters to you… that’s just not what being a fan is.

Though I don’t blame you for being like that. You’re just a victim of a society OBSESSED with merchandise. :\

And that’s the thing. The best way to protest against something is to simply not spend money on it.

Yeah, but then a show dies with the fans, being unable to generate new ones as it’s being suppressed by a reboot.

so, maybe i should say thx for not blaming me, then.
IDIC.
That is not what a fan is, well, you seem to have a universal definition then?

I am 50 years old, i have been a trek fan ever since i can THINK, but well, maybe i do not fit your definition of fanhood: i can live with that, too, I guess. As I said, IDIC.

I am well aware and I understand your criticism. My loving trek just goes beyond that. I am not willing to let anyone or any institution spoil that for me.

Each Fan Is A Fan, In Their Own Way.
There Is No Definition To Say. Right He/She Likes It They Are A Fan. He/She Likes All But The Deep Space Nine. Not A Fan.

Pointless Everyone Is A Fan Of Something, Becuase They Like It None the Less.

I Am A Fan Of Star Trek, But Did Not Enjoy The Animated Series… That Makes Me No Less A Fan Than Sorei Because She Like The Whole franchise.

Anyway.
I Look Forward to The Prospect Of A New Series, Heck We Need One, Its Mad to Have TV With No Star Trek!, But I Will Wait Until I See The Series To Say Wether I Like As Much As The Others.

and here comes

William Shatner….

😀

I Actually Watched A Shatner Star Trek Today,

"I’M CAPTAIN KIRK!!"

I Actually Watched A Shatner Star Trek Today,

"I’M CAPTAIN KIRK!!"

"The Enemy Within" – a good choice, one of the season one highlights, and an all-time trek classic! Shatner playing bad guy is always something to behold, and he does it so well.

Its one of my favs, season 1 had some classic and great episodes.

I Actually Watched A Shatner Star Trek Today,

"I’M CAPTAIN KIRK!!"

His performance in "Enemy" reminds me a lot of his terrific performance in Roger Corman’s "The Intruder", a movie I can recommend absolutely, not only because the Shat is in it, but because it’s relevant, even today. (on youtube, look for "The Intruder 1961")

Yup, to those of us who believe in original sin, the "Evil Twin" sometimes looks out at us from the mirror.

Of course, I hopes he never wears makeup quite that deep …

what’s that with , besides the new one star trek beyond, about star trek progeny? another fan-project? does anybody know?

It appears I had the same brilliant idea as Zoran, only a few hours later. I too started a new ST thread, sending invitations to many of you.

Let’s stay here instead!

Here’s my trivia question, from that thread’s first post:

Last night I watched a 1970s TV-movie that had the highest ratings of its time, and three of its actors (all male) had been guest stars in original STAR TREK episodes. This TV-movie later became a series.

Can you name it, and the three TREK guest stars?

The Night Stalker (1971)

This was a pilot #1 of 2 for the future hit show called Kolchack: The Night Stalker

Starring:
Stanley Adams – the freeloading prospector in "The Trouble With Tribbles"
Barry Atwater – Surak in "The Savage Curtain"
Elisha Cook, Jr – Samuel T. Cogley in "Court Martial"

Full disclosure:
I own the TOS on DVD
I also own both the Kolchak pilots and the original series on DVD

Now, what did I win??

That was not easy, but the hint was helpful!

The movie is:
The Night Stalker (1972)

The three trek guest actors are:
Stanley Adams
Barry Atwater
Elisha Cook Jr.

damn!

Darth sez: Good answer!

I should have figured that somebody would have come up with the answer after 6 or 7 months.

Whatever.

It’s a Kirk quote from the song "Star Trekkin’", written by John O’Connor, Grahame Lister and Rory Kehoe, a parody song of the original TV series of Star Trek, released in 1987 by The Firm.

You’re just too good, Squire! I guess we’ll have to ban you!

[That was a JOKE! In reference to the Girls’ Basketball team who was recently banned from competition because they were too good for everyone else in the league (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3415387/Girls-basketball-team-Minnesota-kicked-league-teams-complained-GOOD.html).]

i just recently noticed, patrick stewart has done the original "eleventh hour" in the uk, just four episodes, in 2006.
Good episodes, of course.
They made it so.

I know I am biased.

Sorei, you are a Patrick Stewart fangirl, that’s for sure! 🙂

But most of his acting roles are quite good, including this. He has a special aura and depth in his performance.

Spock’s Record Round-Up (http://spocksrecordround-up.blogspot.com)

I was just browsing bluray.com for some deals to Canada and saw this posted there:

Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection [Blu-ray] (Bilingual)
https://www.amazon.ca/Star-Trek-Original-Collection-Bilingual/dp/B016OMI3C4
Canadian distribution, usually the same as US distributions. Rarely releases are different.
On some sites, I’ve not seen any reviews claiming the CDN discs to differ from other country discs. For bluray, at least.

I know there’s different releases entirely for DVD, including the Director’s Cut.
Which the bluray’s didn’t get but TWOK is getting a DC soon, but no the TV cut.

Comments say it’s just a slimmer repackaging of the 2009 set, which I saw in stores but couldn’t afford.

This appears to be a repackaging of the 2009 set, which had the theatrical versions of the six Star Trek movies (1979-1991). The only difference seems to be that this set is a little more compact, and it doesn’t have the captain’s summit bonus disc.

One other comment also says there’s scenes missing:

I am about half way through the first one and there are numerous deleted scenes …
1) Kirk’s first arrival to the bridge, as he leaves to tell Captain Decker he is taking over, the whole scene with the bridge crew and U’hura telling them their odds of returning have just increased; all gone.
2) The scene with Dr. McCoy arriving by beam up, the scene with Kirk arriving in the transporter room and talking with the ensign that had just beamed in and then Kirk calling over to Star Fleet to beam the officer over now; all gone.
3) The bridge scene with the first high energy plasma attack on the bridge and the arrival of the medical team to help Chekhov; all gone.

Is it possible the commenter is just talking about the DC scenes but wording them all weird?

I really want to get this set and then the TNG set later for the complete series. I already have The Compendium for the reboot series.
The white covers would have been neat to collect.
But if this is all of it without the Captain’s Summit, I think I ought to jump on this sweet, sweet deal.

Anyone see this compact cover set in US? Or anyone from Canada get it just recently?
I just might order it.

I think Paramount uses the same transfers for all discs around the globe, no?

Yeah, sifting through the bluray forum, it’s just a slim repack.
http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=97168&page=92

Same thing they’re doing with The Dark Knight Trilogy (Ultimate Collector’s Edition) with a 6th disc.

I might actually wait on the movie sets. If TWOK inspires the others to get 4K remasters, I might as well wait for those.

And get that repackaging of TOS bluray set.
$13 cheaper, plus when that price goes back up, a lot cheaper!

One other comment also says there’s scenes missing:

Is it possible the commenter is just talking about the DC scenes but wording them all weird?Correct. All those scenes are from the Director’s Cut, and aren’t in the theatrical cut. So they are not on the Blu-ray. Fingers crossed they eventually step up and re-do the DC for Blu.

R.I.P. Anton Yelchin 🙁
Thread 206139

Thanks for the tribute. R.I.P., Anton, may your kind soul find peace.

Watched Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness the weekend and his appearances brought me to tears. 🙁

I Know Its So Sad.

I Thought It Would Be Nice If We Try To Revive The Thread and Fun Times.
Maybe Stzrt The Games Again With Episode Shots and Quotes?

Been Watching A Few Treks Recently, Currenty DS9’s Season 4 Episode Our Man Bashir, Love This Fun Light Hearted Episode.

Yes, this is a great fun episode for us James Bond fans.

anybody watched the documentary "for the love of Spock"? I liked it….

Yes, I Found It Very Emotional.
It Was So Clear How Much Love Adam Had For His Father & Mr Spock.
Beautiful.

Anyone Else Left Feeling A Little Dissapointed By The 5oth Ann This Year. Other Than ST Beyond, Not Really Much Happned. 🙁

Hoping The New TV Series Next Year Is Good.

Yes, there could’ve been more, especially for trek tos. Maybe ST Beyond somewhat overshadowed what could have been. I guess in a movie-less year, more features, specials, documentaries etc. would have been on the telly. Here in Germany, we had a few days with re-runs around Sept. 8th, commemorating the 50th anniversary.

I’m really looking forward to Star Trek: Discovery. The creative and producing staff around it is quite impressive, so I have good hopes. Let’s hope they push the envelope and don’t give us TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT in another disguise. I would rather welcome something more like Breaking Bad or Homeland in Space, formally and artistically speaking.

Well We Had A Movie Channel Show All The Star Trek Films On Repeat For A Week (Except Into Darkness)
That Was About It, I Binged Aload Of DVDS For A Month. That Is About It.

The New Series Looks Promicing, It Is Good It Is Set After Voyager, Although I Enjoyed Enterprise, It Looked To Technical For A Prequel.
I Agree Tho, At Least The Ship Is Not Called Enterprise And It Is An Entire New Crew That Is A Start.

Agreed, except it’s certainly NOT set after Voyager. According to trekmovie (which normally checks their facts before publishing):

"Set in the Prime Timeline, the Starship Discovery NCC-1031 explores the galaxy, 10-years before Kirk takes command of the Enterprise (TOS)."(source: http://trekmovie.com/all-access-2/, you should bookmark this, it’s always up-to-date with what is known so far!)

Oh Okay. Interesting.

One main event in that time period, according to trek lore: The Romulan War (which most certainly would have been shown in season 5 of Star Trek Enterprise, if it hadn’t been cancelled after season 4.) In "Balance of Terror" (Star Trek TOS) we saw an incident which was kind of an afterthought to that war. This is pure speculation, but the war could very well be part of the new show…

Interesting Thought. The Romulan War Is Something That Needs Seeing On Screen.
I Hope Bakula Makes A Cameo, Although On NCIS New Orleans.

Still Would Also Have Been Nice To Have Actually Seen The Formation of The Federation After His Speech In The Finale (What A Bad Idea Having Riker on The Holodeck) I Like The Story Just Not The Incusion Of TNG, Setting Them During The Season 7 Episode Pegasus.

Sorry I Went Off Topic.

I agree, this could have been so much more. But if the show hadn’t been cancelled, the season finale (which was written AFTER THE CANCELLATION!) would have been a cliff hanger, probaby with showing the start of the Romulan War, or anything other than that lackluster finale!

And, anything about trek is on-topic, no need to apologize here!

This is pure speculation, but the war could very well be part of the new show…

Agreed. Interested either way 🙂

If you are referring to the Star Trek DEpository, yes, it’s been axed by the mods, because of all the Varese and FSM releases still being part if it, albeit without open links. To avoid any future problems, they apparently chose to shut down it completely, with all the LaLaLand and Crescendo stuff going with it as collateral damage…

It’s about time. Expecting every track title to reference coffee.

Yes, Quite A Few Goodens There. Excellent Stuff!

As anyone got the Star Trek: Voyager 4CD sets yet ? 🙂

I have, and I have to say…it’s VERY worth it. I’ve already got a few favorite tracks out of the set, and I haven’t gotten through the whole thing yet. And it may be my imagination, but the opening and closing themes sound a LOT better than they did on the Caretaker set.

Can’t wait! Are links being posted in this thread or with the ban are releases being given their own threads?

I heard that it was remastered

Hopefully Somewhere It Does. Its The Only Series To Not Really Have Much Music Released So Is Well Sought After. 😀

Apparently so, even in kind of a weird way. Some might have overseen it, but it’s out there, finally:

Yes! Nice Find!

Sadly, it’s already gone.

I found it somewhere else. If you want it, please PM me.

I have found a new one – thanks a lot for this

That one is gone, too. In this case, the OP was banned, apparently.

But here’s the next one:
Thread 215531

It’s a good collection of tracks.

Is the 15 CD TOS still floating around somewhere or through someone?

Does anyone know if the Ron Jones set is available on here, I’ve searched for it without any luck.

Does anyone know about the Deluxe Edition of Star Trek Beyond?

Does anyone know if a Star Trek Continues’ original music compilation is floating around yet? They did a great job composing music in that idiom, i hope we get a chance to hear it, enjoy it and add it to our existing ST TV score.

strange we havent heard anything about it, since we got it for the 1st 2 films.

although, that might be a sign that this iteration of the franchise could well be done.

Of course there was a Deluxe Edition, you can google it!
(I won’t link it here, because it’s from a label which is forbidden and which must not be named!)

Just google "Star Trek Beyond Deluxe Edition soundtrack", and you’ll find it…

Just out of curiosity sake. Anyone here happen to have had the chance or opportunity to go to Ticonderoga New York and go on the original Enterprise set tour?

So, is Star Trek Discovery any good?

.

sorrry wrong thread

Much better as the music of STAR TREK DISCOVERY are the (new composed and re-arranged) scores of STAR TREK CONTINUES by Andy Farber.
Pure, nostalgic TOS-Feeling.
Sadly, no one seems like to share ist, even ST: CONTINUES its a non-commercial-production.

I couldn`t find anything anywhere :-/

Does anyone have episodic rips from Discovery?

Does anybody have any news about future STAR TREK releases, especially La-La Land?

Does anybody have any news about future STAR TREK releases, especially La-La Land?

We were promised another volume each of DS9 and VOY, plus IIRC one more TNG release, along with a "leftovers" collection, all slated for 2018. They’re notoriously tight-lipped about these things until just before press time, so the silence doesn’t worry me that much.

DS9 volume 2 is coming on January 9th.

Nice. Good info and thanks for the tip!

I’m surprised the DS9: Vol 2 hasn’t appeared online yet. Did they have manufacturing delays?

Hello, anyone still around?

Hello Mr.Gold! 🙂

How are you my friend!?

I see old friend you have kept the old girl alive and running 🙂 good for you! and thanks for all your heard work! maybe you can strike up the ye old harpsichord and play a weee bit of "Roses From The South" for me….for old times sake 🙂

Hello to all my longlost friends, I’m around but haven’t had nuthin’ to say.

I can inform y’all that my friend Marc Cushman is working on the fourth volume of These Are the Voyages, which will be about Trek after TOS, maybe up to the first movie, I’m not sure. You can check the Jacobs/Brown webpage for the book for info. http://www.jacobsbrownmediagroup.com/these-are-the-voyages-gene-roddenberry-and-star-trek-in-the-1970s.html

Once again I will have the honor of editing. Woo-hoo!

Best wishes to all …

These Are the Voyages volume 4 update … This month we started the first episodes of [B][I]TAS[B][I], with more than anybody wants to know (ha-ha) about it. Don’t know if a publishing date is set, but some time this year "fer shure."

Wait … the book name did not show up in bold-italics, but instead had an honor guard named "B" and "I"? Is that flattering or not?

Very flattering!

The book is about Roddenberry not just TREK, so the first few chapters are about the awful-sounding PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW movie, ARK II, and his work for a TARZAN concept which might have gone to movies or TV. About chapter 9 we are starting to cover individual episodes of TAS, with script/story info, and other stuff like in the other TATV books.

By the way, are Scotty and I the only ones hangin’ around this thread? Sound off, campers!

Thanks for the update Mark! I’m looking forward to reading it.

I think it is just you and I, we have moved to the other thread! (Outcast of the Star Trek Thread Reunion Thread Part II) You can post there and more people will see and read your book.

Scott

does anyone have Star Trek Voyager 4CD set ? 😀

Progress Report on TATV 4, by Marc Cushman:
We finished covering Season One of TAS and looking at Genesis II (the possible continuation as a series), and now looking into the discussion of QUESTOR TAPES as a series. Only a zillion pages to go!

Well, Volume 4 of THESE ARE THE VOYAGES should wrap up very soon. This stupendous (in size, 700+ pages) and fascinating (as always) book is enroute to author Marc C for his final approval of our editorial tweaking. We’re awaiting DC Fontana’s Foreword.

Outstanding Mark! Can’t wait to read this!!! Always a pleasure to read about the thinking behind Star Trek and what it took to get it on the air and to read the minds behind all the great story’s. Thank you Mark for all your hard work to bring this to us.

There’s much to look forward to for Trek readers.

1) These Are the Voyages: Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek in the 1970s Volume 1 (1970-1975) should be out the end of February, you guys can pre-order signed copies now. That is, signed by Marc Cushman, the human word generator! http://www.jacobsbrownmediagroup.com/these-are-the-voyages-vol-1—gene-roddenberry-and-star-trek-in-the-1970s.html

2) David Gerrold’s book A Road Less Tribbled should be out in summertime. http://www.jacobsbrownmediagroup.com/a-road-less-tribbled.html

So polish your glasses campers! PS in my opinion, The Orville is more STAR TREK than some of the shows which have STAR TREK in the name!
