Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #4 IDW Publishing Written by Scott & David Tipton, with Tony Lee Pencils by Gordon Purcell Watercolors by J.K. Woodward For two weeks this review has defeated me. I wrote a draft. I didn’t like it. It was, I thought, harsh. I wrote another draft. This one IContinue reading “On Things I’ve Been Reading”

On Things I’ve Been Reading
Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #3 IDW Publishing Written by Scott & David Tipton, with Tony Lee Art by J.K. Woodward and the Sharp Brothers Two issues into IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 and I was feeling indifferent. The first issue, discussed here, was okay but not especially engaging;Continue reading “On Things I’ve Been Reading”
On Things I’ve Been Reading
Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #1 IDW Publishing Written by Scott & David Tipton, with Tony Lee Art by J.K. Woodward When I was about nine, I started watching Star Trek. I remember going with my dad to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan for my birthday. When I was aboutContinue reading “On Things I’ve Been Reading”
On the Coming Star Trek/Doctor Who Crossover
Star Trek has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; one of my earliest clear memories is of the Animated Series and I think I remember a commercial for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (I do, however, remember a commercial for Alien, even though at six I was farContinue reading “On the Coming Star Trek/Doctor Who Crossover”
On The Weird Things From My Keyboard
Sometimes I shock even myself. Yes, I did, in fact, in all seriousness, suggest a “Star Trek Meets The Vampire Lestat” crossover. But what would the reaction be? Well, I think I have it pegged right when I wrote: Though if there’s a homoerotic undertone to the meeting of Lestat and Picard, I think fandomContinue reading “On The Weird Things From My Keyboard”
On First Contact
I watched Star Trek: First Contact tonight for the first time in five or six years. I’d like to say I liked it. Sadly, I still don’t. But what do I know? I think Star Trek V is a lot better than many others do, while nearly every fan I’ve spoken with can’t find anythingContinue reading “On First Contact”
On Worf's Return to Starfleet
Some Star Trek fans have a major problem with Star Trek: Nemesis–Worf is back in his Starfleet uniform, and his role as Ambassador to the Klingon Empire, established in Deep Space Nine‘s final episode, “What You Leave Behind,” is wholly ignored. This quote is typical “perhaps my biggest complaint about Nemesis was that without evenContinue reading “On Worf's Return to Starfleet”
Allyn's Crackpot Theory: Ambassador Worf
Time for another Crackpot Allyn Theory! As we know, in the final Deep Space Nine episode Worf is appointed as the Federation’s Ambassador to the Klingon Empire. When we next see Worf, in Star Trek: Nemesis he is apparently no longer an Ambassador as he attends the Riker/Troi wedding in a Starfleet uniform and isContinue reading “Allyn's Crackpot Theory: Ambassador Worf”
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
I have no idea what Jean-Luc Picard ever saw in Earl Grey tea. I was shopping World Market yesterday, a store that carries food and furniture from around the world, and in their tea department they had a sale on Earl Grey tea. Out of curiosity I picked up a box and brought it home.Continue reading “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot”
Before Korsmo
I was looking at Michael Jan Friedman’s Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Reunion for the first time in many years and noticed something. Morgen of Daa’V, who had served with Picard aboard the Stargazer, also served as Captain of the USS Excalibur. It’s clear how this fits with Star Trek: New Frontier. Morgen steppedContinue reading “Before Korsmo”
