Truth to tell, Yavar, I consider the Generations novelization to be a mixed case. Parts of the book were well-developed; remember that the first third of the book is set in the 23rd century. We get the final day of Kirk’s command of the Enterprise, his final moments as the ship’s master and commander (andContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(7521): Questions about next movie novelization”
The Psi Phi Project: Re(7519): Questions about next movie novelization
A friend of mine and I had a conversation on Star Trek: The Motion Picture about two years back. Knowing I was a reader of the Trek novels, he said: “Roddenberry didn’t write the novelization. Alan Dean Foster did.” I thought about it, filed that factoid away, and eventually decided that no, Alan Dead FosterContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(7519): Questions about next movie novelization”
The Psi Phi Project: Re(7517): Questions about next movie novelization
I’m guessing J.M. Dillard will be writing the novelization of Star Trek X. Doesn’t have to be, but I’d very much prefer it not be written by Diane “The Seven-Day Wonder” Carey. Leave her to the episode novelizations where readers don’t expect quality. I wouldn’t mind, though, if someone other than Dillard wrote the nextContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(7517): Questions about next movie novelization”
The Psi Phi Project: Re(7437): Ro and the Maquis
Baerbel wrote: The Bajorans and the Maquis had two things in common, they were victims of the Cardassians and they feel betrayed by Starfleet – the Maquis because of this agreement Starfleet made with Cardassia and the Bajorans because Starfleet did absolutely nothing to help except voicing their outrage now and again. From “Ensign Ro”Continue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(7437): Ro and the Maquis”
The Psi Phi Project: Vulcan's Fury, give me a novel!
Vulcan’s Fury, the lost computer game from Interplay, deserves to exist in some form. Ever since I heard of it, I wanted to experience this story in some fashion. The story of the Sundering of the Vulcan people, that’s gripping stuff. And that it was written by none other than D.C. Fontana, that was anotherContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Vulcan's Fury, give me a novel!”
Spock and the Calvinists
Calvinist: I’m saved! I’m one of the Elect! Spock: How many elect are there? Calvinist: One-hundred forty-four thousand. Spock: An intriguing number. A question. How many of these Elect come from this time? Calvinist: What? I don’t understand. Spock: Christianity as a faith is two thousand years old. A rough calculation would show that someContinue reading “Spock and the Calvinists”
Sulu novels
John Ordover wrote: The letter writing campaign failed, if you recall. Yes “a portion” of fandom is interested in the continuing adventures of Captain Sulu – but not a big enough portion.:) True, the letter writing campaign for a Captain Sulu novel generated approximately 750 letters. You’d said one thousand letters in one month wasContinue reading “Sulu novels”
The Psi Phi Project: Re(7080): The BBS
From Bob: If George W. Bush was a Star Trek character, who would he be? 0, from the Q-Continuum trilogy. Wants to take over the world and bring his psychotic friends to the party. Al Gore? Q, from the same trilogy. He means well, tries hard, but comes up short. Ralph Nader? Quinn, from Voyager‘sContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(7080): The BBS”
