……………

PURPOSE AND PROCESS:

There are no actual stardates listed here. I may include them with other details for each entry at some later time, but given their inconsistency throughout the years I have kept the primary concern to normal dates of the calendar year we all recognize.

This document is a work in progress that aims to create a timeline for all of Star Trek’s series, films, novels, comics, games, and any ads or ephemera with narrative elements.

The format itself is also a work in progress and may be inconsistent in places. I welcome any feedback.

All episodes, feature films, and novels are presently accounted for and sorted by their date to the best of my ability.

I’m still working on comics, games, and the rest but all comics for Discovery, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Picard are accounted for.

At this time, years 0 through 2265 have been logged entirely.

In no way are any of these entries meant to imply one cannot proceed without finishing everything up to that point. Nor am I suggesting that Star Trek is best consumed in any one way. In fact I happen to think Star Trek, more than any other franchise, is easy to enjoy from just about any entry point.

My hope for this document is to bring every instance of the Star Trek narrative into one integrated place so that Star Trek fans, casual and obsessives alike, can orient themselves in the massive timespan in which these stories are told.

I did my best to consult both Memory Alpha and Beta along with further research for each entry.

Some of the novels have very clear placement in the timeline while others give only the year or merely hints at when they are set.

For novels that take place concurrently with an ongoing series in a given stardate year, I will sometimes group them at the beginning, middle or end of that year or season so viewers/readers may select from them like a menu to appreciate alongside that season.

However if I have placed a novel or comic between certain episodes you can trust that it belongs there.

When there is no clear answer to the order of a series of novels set in the same era, I will default to ordering them within that era by their publication date.

For sake of clarity this timeline is not concerned with minor flashbacks included for the sake of any respective episode’s present narrative context unless that flashback is particularly long or significant.

For example: the opening scenes of Generations can be viewed as a sort of coda to the TOS movie era and watched both after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and again as part of Generations to create something cohesive and linear, whereas short scenes taking place at other points in history only relative to that episode are to be considered here as contextually part of that timeline’s narrative present and ignored.

When useful I will offer a choice for double viewings of episodes covering two distinct time periods.

I do not count potential futures as part of the real timeline such as the events of TNG’s finale All Good Things, or the events of Strange New Worlds’ A Quality of Mercy and Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow. These alternate timelines are connected to the narrative of their respective stories.

Another significant deviation here would be the Voyager episode Living Witness which, though dealing with events of the past, actually takes place at one of the furthest places in Star Trek’s timeline. I offer two viewing options for this so you can enjoy it in the context of Voyager’s season and in its rightful spot in the timeline.

I assigned two viewings of Enterprise’s Carbon Creek. Its framing device is 2152 on the Enterprise and its story is told primarily in 1957 but unlike Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, its Vulcan protagonists are also from 1957 and the story is mainly theirs and concerns Star Trek history as a whole. Therefore I believe it merits two viewings, one in its initial timeline and one to contextually fill in the framing device of T’Pol telling her crewmates the story.

This same principle is applied to Star Trek novels and comics.

The TOS novel The Rift is broken into two distinct timelines in different halves of the book so I have placed it’s respective halves in their appropriate stardates.

The TOS novel Kobayashi Maru tells stories about many different times so i have placed it in the time in which its story terminates or rather, the time of its framing device.

All novels with audiobooks are noted as well as their abridged / unabridged status.

I’ve consulted multiple sources with slightly conflicting information but I have mostly taken Memory Alpha and Voyages Of Imagination as gospel. (Important note: Voyages Of Imagination was published in 2006 and only includes works written until then.)

Voyages Of The Imagination actually takes things a step further by creating a timeline that includes every flashback or diversion in time. While my aim here is to be comprehensive, the ultimate goal is a coherent and accurate narrative experience of Star Trek’s history and not a fastidious index of every single moment in time.

So when Q takes Picard back to the beginning of life on earth, though I’m sure they were in fact there and it is now part of Trek’s history, I don’t find that to be a useful or meaningful beginning to the story. To me, that moment, and other time travelers, usually belong in their respective story’s era.

Non-canon memoirs, biographies, technical manuals and other non-story works will be placed where I think they best fit in the timeline, such as Brent Spiner’s memoir Fan Fiction which deals with a fictional story taking place after the filming of the TNG episode The Offspring.

ORGANIZATION:

Entries with stardates that are unclear or in dispute are marked with a ???.

Likewise anywhere you see something in BOLD RED you will find something that is presently uncertain or where I have placed something I intend to amend with further research.

There are many books, for instance, I will have to read all the way through to determine where they can be properly placed on the timeline.

Spacing also has meaning here. A new line is given between each stardate year or years.

Entries that are grouped together (not spaced) are done so when there are evidently no gaps in the viewing/reading/listening of that material. I will also group entries belonging to the same series but not if their stardates are out of order. Stardate receives preference.

Bear in mind there are a lot of best guesses going on here and I still make mistakes. The most common mistake is getting the 23rd and 22nd centuries mixed up. I’m trying to root those out and fix any formatting inconsistencies.

NOVELS:

To the best of my knowledge all novels have been accounted for here with exception to a handful awaiting publication and some in the general unlogged section below likely due to a lack of clarity about their time / setting.

SHORT STORIES:

I’m close to having these fully logged to the best of my knowledge. What remains unlogged is represented by its Memory Alpha links just below this section.

COMICS:

All comics from year 0 to 2265 are accounted for here but comics is an area I’m still trying to cover.

Covered:

ENT: Just one in Waypoint
DIS
SNW
NEW FRONTIER: only has two comics and they’re covered.
VOY: except the Waypoint story
LD
PIC

Not covered:

TOS
TNG
DS9
misc?

GAMES:

I will be entering games into this document last. My plan is to include any and every game that can be tied to a specific narrative and place in time in the Star Trek universe.I will also take the time of its release into consideration.

I’m not sure if I will include most role-playing games as they are user-centric narratives with multiple outcomes and therefore not part of the greater context. Something like a first person shooter or arcade game will be included if its gameplay feels immersive to a specific timeframe or story arch.

I will eventually list all the excluded non-timeline games elsewhere in the document so they are also all accounted for.

I’m still not sure how I feel about including Star Trek Online and it’s related fiction.

ADS:

Ads for products or trailers for series aren’t of concern here but ads where Trek actors appear in character will be counted.

While things like this British ad for National Power featuring the TOS movie era bridge crew or this ad for Milwaukee transit featuring Sulu are clearly a bit of a stretch narratively speaking, with a little imagination and discernment they can be included here because they meet the criteria and contain elements that can place them in our timeline.

I also believe their inclusion is beneficial and interesting.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

From 2020 to 2022 Star Trek Discovery, Lower Decks and Prodigy had a series of canonical personal logs from their show’s characters posted to Instagram following episodes of select seasons.

They can presently all still be viewed HERE.

Since none of these has a title and their stardate can be assumed to be close or identical to the episode they follow, I have included the date they were posted for clarity and ease of access.

The logs are for:

Star Trek Lower Decks Season 1 Episode 10 - Season 3 Episode 10

Star Trek Prodigy Season 1 - Episodes 11-20

Star Trek Discovery Seasons 3 and 4

Star Trek Picard Season 3 does not have logs but instead has 12 videos made up of personnel files and starship profiles posted on February 11, 2023 just before that season’s premiere.

EPHEMERA:

This will include items like the Kenner Give-A-Show Projector or the content created for Star Trek The Experience in Las Vegas.

For things like this or the TNG VCR Game, which don’t give explicit Stardates I will place them as close to their release date as possible insofar as it’s context doesn’t interfere with the narrative of that era (i.e. a character being present who is known to be absent, etc).

EXCLUDED:

Fan fiction, although I may include some items which are culturally known / relevant as peripheral suggestions. Fan films, however I am interested in including.

Most parodies.

Art work.

Podcasts, with exception to the official narrative ones such as the, as yet unreleased, Khan series. I may also suggest a few as companions such as Shuttlepod where Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating discuss Enterprise episodes.

Merch such as action figures, ship models, trading cards, though in some cases these will be included if they come with some unique canonical narrative element

TOS: BOOK: From History’s Shadow - September 23, 1947 - July 10, 1969;, 2268 (+ November 6, 1996 coda) - *X* 🚀✅

The story of “From History’s Shadow” is told in 1947-1969 (beginning shortly after the events of DS9 time travel / Roswell episode “Little Green Men” but in the TOS story just a week after the events of the TOS episode “Assignment Earth”.

Due to time travel and the cause and effect nature of the intertwining stories the time periods can not be separated and read at different points on the timeline.

There are four potential reading orders here. Two I’ve excluded. Two I’ve suggested. One I prefer.

Placing this book in 1969, so the reader catches up on the preceding history, wouldn’t make for cohesive reading so I’m not including it there.

Placement in 2372 after DS9’s “Little Green Men” offers full context but, in my view, isn’t necessary and pulls the reader too far from the rest of the book’s relevance. Reading before then does effectively spoil that episode but doesn’t ruin it.

Placement in 2268 after TOS “Assignment Earth” does make sense and I will place a note there for that option.

I believe in spite of some light spoiling for the uninitiated, the optimal placement for “From History’s Shadow” is in 1947.

I would go as far as recommending readers watch the three aforementioned episodes before reading the book and then re-watching them in the context of the show.

The other reasons I see 1947 as the best placement are the author’s stated inspiration from Greg Cox’s two “Rise And Fall Of Khan Noonien-Singh” novels which very quickly follow this book in the timeline and have some of the same characters making them work as a kind of suite.

If that wasn’t enough, Dayton Ward also wrote a short story called “The Aliens Are Coming” in the Strange New Worlds collection volume three which picks up where part of this leaves off.

Written January 8, 2023.

The first time I remember seeing Star Trek was a vague memory of seeing Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with my dad in theatres. I guess I would’ve been six or seven but I remember it very well. I also remember seeing 5 and 6 in theatres but I saw everything that came out so those didn’t feel very special at the time.

My real introduction to Star Trek was from my daughter Katrina. When she was a young teenager she started watching the original series and for a time we would watch it together. She even bought one of those doorchimes that made the wooshing sound when you walked by.

Life got in the way and we didn’t finish it but during the pandemic/lockdown it seemed like the perfect long-form thing to disappear into. So during that time, over the course of one year, I watched all of Star Trek from order of airdate, at the time nearly 800 episodes and 13 films to be exact.

Watching by airdate looked something like this:

Star Trek: The Original Series Seasons 1–3
Star Trek: The Animated Series Seasons 1-2
Star Trek TOS movies 1–6 ( I might have staggered 5&6 w TNG but elected not to for continuity)
Star Trek: TNG Seasons 1–7
Star Trek: TNG movies 1–4
Star Trek: DS9 Season 1–7 (staggered between TNG and Voyager)
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise Seasons 1–4
Star Trek: Discovery Season 1
Short Treks 1–4
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2
Short Treks 5–10

and Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 which began airing in real time at the end of my watch.

Since then I’ve watched on air:

Star Trek: Star Trek Picard Seasons 1–2
Star Trek: Lower Decks Seasons 1–2
Star Trek: Discovery Season 4
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1
Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1

Needless to say, I have become assimilated. I thought it would be something I picked up for a summer and put down. But I now read the books, and manuals and listen to the score and audiobooks.

So what drew me in?

I love stories told over long periods of time. Not just ficitonal time, but real time as well. I love long movies, 4hour operas, long books, epic poems — — immersion. And I hadn’t thought I would find something to be so absorbed by again at this point in my life, so it’s been really nice to rediscover that part of myself that got excited to see an emblem or a font, or catch a reference, the way I did at different times in my life with Batman and Twin Peaks.

I don’t know if I have anything interesting or noteworthy to say about Star Trek that hasn’t been said already. If you’re reading this it’s probably because to know me or my music, and even then I wouldn’t expect it to necessarily hold your interest.

I recently bought a television and blu ray player for the sole purpose of watching Star Trek optimally. The TV is 43". Rather large for my living space. I panicked a bit when I got it actually. I sat in a mall here in Porto, Portugal where I live, and just didn’t move. I guess I was embarssed. For buying the TV and for indulging my new hobby.

I deserve the TV. I deserve Star Trek. But if I’m going to bother making such a purchase, and devote some little part of my life to a TV show, I may as well document it in some way and go about it in the usual project oriented way I tend to do things.

All of this leads me to my current mission, which is to watch and report on all of Star Trek, but instead of airdate, I will watch by order of stardate (the chronological timeline within the Trek universe).

HERE is a link to the current document I have with the stardate order. It’s a work in progress because I’m adding supplemental data to it but the main pieces are all there in tact.

All the episodes I will be writing about will be from the official blu rays (or in some cases DVD, YouTube, etc; but all from the most optimal source), until such time that I am current when I will have to decide whether to wait until an official release or just to watch on Paramount+, should that day ever arrive.

Its important to note that in the cases of time travel and flashbacks I will not be counting that as something to re-order, with exception only to the opening of Star Trek Generations, Star Trek Voyager episode Flashback, and the Enterprise Episodes In A Mirror Darkly Parts 1 & 2, which I will view twice in and out of order for context.

Assuming things go forward at length, I may yet edit some of these posts when something new occurs to me.

I don’t plan to do full recaps, just some review with thoughts and impressions.

That’s all for now.

Live Long and Prosper. 🖖

Star Trek Explorer - The Mission And Other Stories - The Guardian

STAR TREK TOS - Short Story - Written by Gary Russell

2000 B.C. / 200,000 B.C. / Year 0

Published November 29, 2022

Read on August 16, 2025

Taking place 500,000 years before 2266, The Guardian tells the story of Hob and his wife Tekhan, the last human survivors of the planet Exo III which is being overtaken by androids.

It’s a nice prequel accompaniment to the TOS episode What Little Girls Are Made Of so I’ve placed a second reading on the timeline there as well. I believe it’s good to read in both places.

Hob and Tekhan basically know they are doomed and slowly move through the wasteland of Exo III toward the caves where they believe there may or may not be a switch to deactivate all the androids. They make it but more or less Tekhan gives up and drinks poison. Hob talks with the android Ruk (played by Ted Cassidy in the TOS episode). Hob basically tells Ruk, who is sympathetic to the human “masters” to safeguard the equipment in hopes that it might help someone one day, which is really one final act of hubris on his part (or charity depending on how you look at it).

I love the idea that this is the oldest moment in Star Trek (there may yet be one slightly older as a flashback in Spock’s World but I haven’t read that yet). I just love the idea that somewhere out in the stars before mankind ever existed there was a civilization further along and more doomed than we are. A distant future of the distant past. A really beautiful idea.

Forgotten Light - Strange New Worlds VII

STAR TREK - Short Story - Written by Frederick Kim

2000 B.C. / 200,000 B.C. / Year 0

Published June 2004

Read on September 15, 2025

My first thought was, “oh brother, another Borg origin story.” The Borg, like Khan, are one of Star Trek’s biggest draws and thus a humongous dead horse to be beaten again and again in film, television, and especially fiction.

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this.

Picard and the Enterprise E crew (I’m supposing around the time of Star Trek: First Contact) are called to investigate the remnants of a dead world called Havarrnus which is thought to be the Borg’s original civilization.

Picard is naturally troubled given his relationship with them.

Let me just say here, I’ve placed this story at the front of the timeline because it is told from two distinct points in time, one of which pre-dates human history. That being said, if you haven’t seen any Star Trek TNG or any at all, I’d recommend waiting to read this until you get further along and see some TNG.

Most of the records of Havarrnus are destroyed but Picard finds remnants of a journal by one of it’s thinkers/politicians.

I won’t retell the story here but I’ll just say that the depiction of a pre-Borg society as a sort of Rome before the fall is really well done and the writing is engaging and spectacular.

Also of note: we get a mention of transparent aluminum in reference to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, as well as reference to a ship called The Archer, in reference to Star Trek Enterprise.

Guinan says these wise words: “The only thing more tragic than a dead world is the legacy of a people who’ve forgotten who they are”.

The Beginning - Strange New Worlds VI

STAR TREK - Short Story - Written by Annie Reed

2000 B.C. / 200,000 B.C. / Year 0

Published 2003

Read on December 19, 2023

*correction - The short story The Guardian is in fact earlier in the timeline than this but I didn’t know it at the time of writing.

As of now, The Beginning is known from multiple sources to be the earliest point in the entire Star Trek timeline. Exactly when it takes place isn't totally clear to me. I've seen it listed in various sources as 2000 B.C., 200,000 B.C., and Year 0.

The strange thing is, there is no indication of any placement in the timeline in the story itself, so this information must have come from an interview with it's author somewhere, one can only assume.

The Beginning is a 12 page short story from author Annie Reed, appearing in the "speculations" section of volume VI of the Strange New Worlds short story collection.

Strange New Worlds (not to be confused with the series) was a 10 volume series of short stories authored by fans who would enter their works in a contest with the winning entries being published therein. In essence it is fan fiction, however insofar as this timeline of mine is concerned it is canonical seeing as it was an official Star Trek publication

In The Beginning, we meet an unnamed girl on an unnamed planet from an unnamed race during an unnamed time suffering from a terrible unnamed disease. That might sound very vague but we are hearing her point of view throughout and from her we learn that this is a fairly advanced society.

Our protagonist explains how she was once beautiful but is now covered in terrible sores and is confined to a secure hospital facility where her grandfather, a doctor, is taking care of her and seeking a cure.

Her grandfather devises a serum of nano probes designed to attack the virus but, as you might guess, this turns the young girl into the very first Borg and she quickly turns evil, takes over, and sets out to assimilate everyone.

The way the first person narration subtly moves from good to evil is really clever and the story is very good.

It doesn't feel like any sort of massive Star Trek prologue, but then I don't think it was designed to.

Whether or not the protagonist here is meant to be the Borg Queen we come to know from Star Trek: First Contact or not is not made clear. But if this does indeed take place before the dawn of mankind, it begs the question, how are the Borg able to maintain organic matter for thousands and thousands of years?

Star Trek Explorer - A Year To The Day That I Saw Myself Die And Other Stories - Sundering

STAR TREK - Short Story - Written by David Mack

421 C.E.

Published November 28, 2023

This was truly excellent. A tale of twin Vulcan brothers at the time of the Romulan's exile from Vulcan.

This provides the first really valid argument against the teachings of Surak and Vulcan logic that I’ve heard so far.

A Vulcan man searches for his brother and his family at the site of the transport ships that are about to leave and banish all dissenting Vulcans into unknown space.

It’s particularly interesting to me that at this early stage in earth’s recorded history, Vulcan has already mastered space travel, possibly even warp speed (though that isn’t mentioned here unless I missed it.)

On two sides of a literal fence, the Vulcan brothers say goodbye and have one final debate, wherein the dissenting brother makes a stinging argument that Surak’s teachings are not mastery of emotions but repression and the enforcement of them is an enforced conformity.

Mind you, this comes after many cities had been burned to the ground in a war, but I really appreciate how this story takes Vulcan logic and examines its flaws… logically. Doesn’t it stand to reason that maintaining opposing points of view which encourage debate are the best way to strengthen logic?

Anyhow, this story had a great emotional and historical resonance. I really loved it.

The Veil at Valcour - The Enterprise Logs

STAR TREK - Short Story - Written by Diane Carey

October 11, 1776

Published June, 2000

Read on December 23, 2023

Told from the perspective of Reverend Adam Ghent who joins up with his brother in-law Daniel Dickenson’s ship The Enterprise during a crucial battle of the Revolutionary War.

The language author Diane Carey uses here is very accurate to the time, and thus, for me, difficult to parse a lot of the time, especially in the first part of the story.

I’m fairly certain that Ghent, Dickenson, and the ship’s doctor McCrae (a nod to McCoy?) are entirely fictional characters, but there is some mention of a few real historical characters, the first being a passing remark about George Washinton.

Halfway in, none other than a pre-betrayal Benedict Arnold shows up as the, until then, unnamed general leading the fight. This all takes place on lake Champlain.

The b-story here is that Ghent’s arrival is less to do with any initiative to join the revolution than it is making good on a promise to Dickenson’s mother who follows an ancient unnamed religion and wishes to bestow her son with a “concealment spell” (aka cloaking device).

As the battle begins Ghent witnesses violence and devastation that will test his faith. When all seems lost and many have died, Ghent tries to present Dickenson with the gift from his mother, who, it is revealed, believed all her life that her son would die in water. An annoyed Dickenson opens the gift to find a talisman made of a small bag of bird skins and other apothecary items. Dickenson wears the bag around his neck to appease Ghent, his mother, and the remaining onlooking superstitious crewmen.

In the end, Dickenson becomes inspired to burn the ship and escape, leading the British army on a long chase that ends up costing them the battle.

The coda to this story includes a surprising demand that history re-examine the efforts of Benedict Arnold that helped us win the war, before he became a traitor. This and the nods to faith and superstition really rub me the wrong way.

It could be the antiquated language or even my limited knowledge of history, but apart from the ship being called Enterprise and the nod to a cloaking device, I don’t see much of a connection. It did, however, make me think a sort of Sea Trek series or novel taking place in the past might be something worthwhile.

Disappearance On 21st Street - Strange New Worlds V

TOS - Short Story - Written by Mary Scott-Wiecek

1930

Published May, 2002

Read on December 23, 2023

I struggled with whether or not to include this here or as a coda with the original series episode The City On The Edge of Forever, which it references. Ultimately I landed on both.

Disappearance On 21st Street concerns the life and death of a homeless man named Rodent who has the misfortune of crossing paths with a temporarily deranged Leonard McCoy thrown into the past by the guardian forever (context here is dependent on your knowledge of this original series episode).

Rodent is an older homeless man who likes to drink and watch the world go by. On one occasion he helps a little lost girl by connecting her with a policeman so she can find her mother.

He goes to the soup kitchen and meets an undercover Kirk and Spock (who he mistakes for a “Chinee” can’t tell if that’s a misprint but that’s what it says). He refers to Edith Keeler (Joan Collins’ character) as Goody Two Shoes.

On a fateful night he gets kicked out of his usual doorway and sleeps in an alley where he encounters a crazed Leonard McCoy just transported from the year 2267. After an anxious exchange, Rodent searches McCoy for a wallet, finds his phaser, and promptly phasers himself to death! It’s a weird and almost stupid moment from that episode but it gets expounded on in this story in a nice way.

Since we know that Kirk, Spock, and McCoy didn’t return to an altered future we also must assume that the phaser was not left behind which makes me assume that Rodent actually overloaded the phaser causing the disintegration of the phaser and Rodent alike.

After Rodent’s death, the young lost girl he helped is walking by his usual doorway and remarks to her busy confused mother that the man who helped her isn’t there anymore. Her mother corrects her that she was found by a policeman but the girl briefly protests and remembers poor Rodent for just a moment.

I liked that.

Generally speaking I do feel that time travel is the story of the traveler and not the time they travel to, but in this instance, it’s really Rodent’s story.

There are different schools of thought with time travel in storytelling. Some people will say We could get into the details of things like Kelvin branch-timelines and things like that but as far as a coherent and cohesive chronological Trek story is concerned, I believe this stands on its own and deserves its place earlier in the timeline.

Captain Proton And The Orb Of Bajor - Strange New Worlds IV

DS9 / VOY - Short Story - Written by Jonathan Bridge

October 28, 1938

Published May 8, 2001

Read on December 24, 2023

Captain Proton And The Orb Of Bajor is an interesting crossover that references the Captain Proton plot elements from Voyager and key details from Deep Space 9.

Most importantly, it lists the author of the original story as a “Ben Russel“ who we can only assume is Benny Russel from the classic Deep Space 9 episode Far Beyond The Stars where Benjamin Sisko has a vision of a black sci-fi author in 1953. That Benny Russell would’ve been around 12 or 13 in 1930 but using my head-canon I actually kind of like the idea that a young Benny Russell was sending spec scripts in for radio programs at that age and got one through.

The story here is printed as a script complete with dialogue, advertisements, announcements and sound effects.

The plot concerns Captain Proton lending a hand to Captain Sisko (or this fictional version of him) at “Space Station 9” going after Dr. Chaotica who has stolen one of the Orbs of Bajor and is in cahoots with the Founders and Jem Hadar soldiers.

The plot is mostly just set pieces for some broad stroke old time radio type dialogue. Dr. Chaotica wants the orb for its power and Captain Proton is fighting to help the people of Bajor.

The format and claim of authorship are what's most interesting here. As an early entry in the Trek lore it makes an interesting sort of artifact.

I have a lot more to say about Benny Russell and the “prophets of Bajor” but i suppose I’ll save that for later on when I get to DS9.

It would be neat to hear someone record this as an actual old time radio episode.

The Amazing Stories - The Adventures Of Captain Proton: Chapter 1: The Space Vortex Of Doom

VOY - Short Story - Written by D.W. “Prof” Smith

1939

Published August 2002

Read on December 24, 2023

Multiple sources list this as being set in 1939 which I haven't been able to be sure of but seeing as it’s the second published Captain Proton work, with the previous one being Captain Proton & The Orb of Bajor, published one year prior, I’ll accept it as being one year later.

Unlike it’s predecessor, The Space Vortex of Doom is not a teleplay for a radio show, but a magazine article. It appears in Star Trek: The Amazing Stories, which collects a series of short stories specifically about TNG and Voyager. Amazing Stories Magazine is actually exactly the kind of publication a Captain Proton story would have appeared in so the context is perfect.

At 13 pages, the plot is very simple, using the same familiar Captain Proton characters: Captain Proton, Buster Kincaid, Constance the secretary, and the villain Dr. Chaotica. Proton and co are fleeing a swarm ot Dr. Chaotica’s “minions”, a sort of harmless space insect that, in swarms, can halt spaceships and do a lot of damage.

Proton finds a way to wriggle out of the minions’ grasp but uh… reversing the ship but they are too late to stop Dr. Chaotica in his deathstar-like “blaster ship” from firing a red orb at planet earth that will surely destroy it.

Proton comes up with the plan to sacrifice all of their lives to save earth by flying directly into the titular Space Vortex of Doom in an effort to widen its scope and swallow up the red orb before it hits earth.

Interestingly, that is where this story ends, with Proton and his crew falling further and further into darkness.

I thought that was peculiar but then discovered that the next item on my list is the novella and short story collection Captain Proton: Defender Of The Earth, which contains a short story that picks up where this leaves off. Since Star Trek: The Amazing Stories collects previously published stories and was published in 2002 it's unclear which came first, but there's really nothing listed anywhere that makes it clear The Space Vortex Of Doom has a continuation.

Since this story appears here on its own, I will address the follow up in my next review.

Captain Proton: Defender Of The Earth

VOY - Book / Short Stories - Written by D.W. “Prof” Smith

1939

Published November 1, 1999

Read on

Captain Proton: Defender Of The Earth is a novella with short stories and old magazine style letters in the back.

The cover art is a terrific retro sci-fi magazine parody and the format even mimics the magazine style with each page printed onto columns with occasional photo art.

Unfortunately the photo art is crudely done by a laser printer in black and white and lacks some definition but that can be forgiven since this was clearly a labor of love.

I will discuss the stories individually here but start with:

The Adventures Of Captain Proton - Chapter Two: Death Of The Patrol

…this story picks up exactly where The Space Vortex Of Doom leaves off. You can find it on page 73.

Here we find Captain Proton, Buster Kinkaid, and Constance Goodhesrt having escaped the Vortex Of Doom and now being called to earth by the head of the “Incorporated Planets”.

Dr. Chaotica has now managed to steal all of earth’s patrol ships (whatever that means) so Proton and the gang go seek the help of the “Mind Suckin Ant Creatires” who assist with a fleet of their own ships.

Some of the jokes work and some are annoying such as Constance being there literally only to scream. Not an exaggeration. In some cases I think they just copy and pasted “Constance screams” every other paragraph.

With the help of the Ants’ fleet they defeat Chaotica and regain control of the patrol ships. But Proton must go after Chaotica by following him into a dark and uncertain place. So we end naturally in a cliffhanger.

1939

Published May, 2002

Read on March 16, 2024

At just 5 pages this might be the most enjoyable of the Captain Proton stories. The plot here is as redundant and comprised of one-note humor as any other Proton story, but the twist here is that it is told from the perspective of Dr. Chaotica which makes the humor land just a little better.

I will say, I kind of appreciate that the four Captain Proton items on this list are grouped together at the beginning. It might not make for an amazing read, but it’s interesting.

World Of Strangers - The Enterprise Logs

Star Trek - Short Story - Written by Diane Carey

October 26, 1942

Published June, 2000

Read on March 16, 2024

Diane Carey’s introduction to this story contains a key index for naval terminology. After her initial entry in this collection which seemed to prioritize authenticity of language over story and character,

The story is told with a timeline accounting for each minute where the dialogue is spoken, as though it were part of an actual ship’s log. I like this format.

This second entry in the Enterprise Logs finds the Captain of a WW2 “Enterprise” aircraft carrier dealing with a Japanese American turncoat spy, which is to say, a Japanese American spying for the Americans who have turned to the other side but been caught by our side.

It makes more sense in context.

Coincidentally one of the spy’s neighborhood friends is serving on this Enterprise and is brought in to try and reason with him to go back and work for our side.

What follows is a back and forth about the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2 that veers between excusing them and admonishing them.

The spy has turned because he finds out his family has been interned.

There’s a more interesting story to be told from this bit this was fine for what it was.

At least they didn’t make him Sulu’s great great grandfather or something stupid like that. There was an “Oh my” though.

In any case, the drama and dialogue are quite good and it was very engaging. There’s even a nod to Sulu that doesn’t resort to using any canonical hoopla.

I liked it.

Really beautiful artwork and a nice tribute to the DS9 episode Far Beyond The Stars.

Here we get a really lovely and poetic look at the days leading up to the events of that episode ending with Benny Russel, the struggling sci-fi short story author who would more or less predict the events of DS9 and the entire future, getting his job at Incredible Tales magazine.

It’s only a few pages, and is better with the context of the DS9 episode it leads upto, but it doesn’t require you to have seen it. I think it’s rather nice as a little seed planted here in the past for DS9 and all of Star Trek to grow into.

Strange New Worlds IV - Isolation Ward 4

Published May, 2000

Read on March 17, 2024

Unlike “When The Stars Come A’Calling”, this story feels unnecessary and unpleasant.

Told as a sort of addendum to the DS9 episode Shadows & Symbols (which I have admittedly not seen in some time), we get a series of doctor’s notes from Dr. Wykoff.

What could’ve been a real exploration of Benny Russel and his relationship to the Prophets we get a lot of Wykoff’s racist ramblings while Benny writes full episodes of DS9 for him to read more or less.

He brings one home and gets disturbed that his son likes it and looks upto Sisko, a black man.

It’s only when Wykoff reads Benny’s short story that is clearly a nod to the episode Take Me Out To The Holosuite that he realizes - Hey maybe this racism thing isn’t so good?

By the end of Benny Russel’s stay in the psych ward Dr. Wykoff still feels like no one should read Russel’s DS9 stories for fear of his compassion undermining white dominated civilization.

Then we get a post script on April 4, 1968 where a now magically un-racist Wykoff (whose son has a black girlfriend now) is shedding a tear for the assassination of Martin Luther King.

I really hated this story. It was goofy, sentimental, and unserious. Maybe it will make more sense to me when I re-watch DS9 but I don’t think so.

People of the small town Patterson’s Creek are stuck in a time loop reliving the same day.

We experience the story from young Matty’s diary as he eventually meets Janeway, The Doctor, and Tom Paris and becomes aware of the loop.

The story is not a direct sequel to the events of the Voyager season five episode 11:59, but it nods to it directly enough that one wonders why they did not just incorporate its plot and characters.

I have placed a second reading of it following that episode in the timeline, even though it likely appears much later than that I think it’s a little out of context to try to read it too much later.

The author loses track of the diary format by starting out with Matty’s gee-whiz interactions with Janeway and co and referring into perfectly transcribed technobabble dialogue.

Neither very highly original story nor economical deep dive this is a fairly bland appetizer and didn’t impress me too much.

Re-read on May 21, 2025

SPOILERS!!!

This is everything you want a Star Trek novel to be.

Dayton Ward blends the plots and characters of DS9’s Little Green Men, Enterprise’s Carbon Creek, and The Original Series’ Assignment Earth (all beloved episodes) to create a sprawling paranoid narrative that weaves real history into Trek lore and vice versa.

Little Green Men’s Captain James Wainwright becomes the main character.

When the Vulcan Mestral from Carbon Creek was introduced I felt like cheering! The Tandarans from Enterprise show up as well.

The new characters here are the Certoss, an alien race infiltrating earth’s ranks to manipulate history in their favor after a, now irrelevant, temporal war with the human race.

So much goes on here and it can be hard to follow but it’s truly a fascinating and exciting book.

Ward has stated that this was meant to link up with, and was in fact inspired by, The Rise And Fall Of Khan Noonien Singh Vol 1 & 2 by Greg Cox. From History's Shadow maintains those books’ time structure and presentation and acts as a prequel to them and in a small way to Cox’s other novel Assignment Eternity,or at least its initial framing device. Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln from Assignment Earth being the common thread of all these books.

Interestingly Ward had written a sort of sub-coda to this book as part of Strange New Worlds Vol III with his short story The Aliens Are Coming which more or less retells one of the last chapters. You could call it contradictory but you might also be able to regard it as the POV of Captain John Christopher rather than that of Wainwright. If you wanted to read this short story in order with the book you would only need to check the dates and make them line up.

Star Trek - Strange New Worlds 10 - Time Line

Star Trek: TOS - Short Story - Written by Jerry M. Wolfe

1971

Published July, 2007

Read on August 22, 2025

It’s an unfortunate oversight that this story comes after two significant pieces of the timeline featuring Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, then followed by Greg Cox’s two giant previously published volumes on Khan which feature Gary and Roberta prominently but a small detail gets in the way of perfectly linking it to those works.

Mind you, I’m reading this story simultaneously with Assignment Eternity and The Rise And Fall Of Khan Noonien Singh Vol 1 as a means of getting a head start on the latter.

But I know that Gary and Roberta are not married in the Khan books and they are here. One might simply ger around that fact by saying that Gary and Roberta, here in 1971, are in fact a future version of themselves - but the story makes a point of saying they had only met Kirk and Spock three years prior. Still, if one squints and forgets this detail, my little canon-fix kind of works. Though maybe not since Gary doesn’t seem to recognize young Khan here, who is also a little older than he’s meant to be at this time. No?

This brought to mind another thing - since Gary has this secret apartment in New York and shows up there at different points in history - how does he keep from bumping into previous versions of himself? I like the idea that there are maybe several or even dozens of apartments identical to one another and the Beta 5 computer places it in the right one each time.

Canonical anomalies aside, I really enjoyed this author’s writing style. I like that Gary Seven eats a grilled cheese sandwich. We don’t get enough food in Star Trek, writing or on screen. I also like his description of Seven’s enjoyment of making a photo album as a sort of mindful meditation practice.

I don’t love that Roberta gets called Robbie the whole time or that she’s reduced to a homemaker here.

I do hope the Dr. Charles Grayson is not intended to be some distant relative of Spock’s mother Amanda Grayson.

Much as I hate to admit it, the timeline resetting narrative gobbledygook of Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow might ultimately be the only explanation. I hated the implications that Khan’s rise is some pivotal earth event that keeps happening in different ways no matter how the timeline is changed. And to be sure, the only reason this explanation is useful is because of how poorly Star Trek has handled Khan’s history canonically onscreen by constantly returning to it over and over.

So ok - this happened in 1971 but I think we need to proclaim it an alternate timeline in order to make sense.

The plot revolves around Gary Seven investigating a facility for human genetic experimentation. He teleports to a building where he finds Khan and some other superhuman children but just as he arrives someone beams 4 bombs from a spaceship. Before Khan can continue investigating he quickly teleports the children away from the explosion thus ensuring Khan’s survival.

Gary’s superior, Zagor, explains that this act has brought the odds of human extinction up to 78% and that the bombs were beamed down by someone trying to interfere with history - though we’re never told who.

Broken Bow Parts 1 & 2
Stardate April 16, 2151
Watched on January 9, 2023

“Earth launches its first starship of exploration, Enterprise, on a mission to return an injured Klingon to his homeworld. (Series premiere)”

Enterprise gets a bad reputation. People make fun of the song (the song is bad). They make fun of it for being too horny (sometimes it is). Enterprise can be goofy, but it’s also really great storytelling and essential Star Trek and its pilot episode, the two part Broken Bow, is arguably the best Star Trek pilot of any of the series.

A Klingon running through an Oklahoma cornfield and getting shot is a terrific opening.

James Cromwell’s cameo reprising his, then just released, Star Trek: First Contact role as an older Zephram Cochrane is a nice touch.

Enterprise is set 100 years before Kirk’s Enterprise from the Original Series. Phasers are new. Transporters are only for cargo. Translators don’t work well. The ship feels cramped and spare, like a submarine. Vulcan / human relations are tense.

This is almost 100 years after the events of First Contact and the technologically superior Vulcans are nervous about giving the humans too much too soon leading to a tense political climate between Vulcan and Earth as they work together.

Captain Jonathan Archer is played by Quantum Leap’s Scott Bakula as a sort of thoughtful John Wayne. His father was responsible for building one of the first warp drives and died before being able to see it in action because of the Vulcan’s condescending interference.

The aforementioned wounded cornfield Klingon ends up in Starfleet’s possession. The Vulcans intend to let him die, and return him to the Klingons that way, as befits most Klingon’s wishes to die in battle. Archer finds this barbaric and seizes the opportunity to take a starship into space and return him alive.

From there, he picks his crew which consists of Sub-commander T’Pol (a Vulcan officer at first assumed to be a spy), Doctor Phlox (a Denobulan and cheif medical officer), Malcom Reed (chief security officer), Travis Mayweather as conn officer, Hoshi Sato as communications officer, and Charles “Trip” Tucker as chief engineer.

Once things get underway and the Enterprise NX-01 launches, there is a surprise visit from an unknown species and the cornfield Klingon is kidnapped. Subcommander T’pol suggests the mission is over, but Archer decides it’s now a rescue mission and decides to track the kidnapper.

The rest of the plot revolves around the kidnapper’s species, the Suliban (literally named after the Taliban according to the commentary track), who have a melon-rind skin in addition to being extremely flexible shapeshifters. They’ve kidnapped the Klingon for at the orders of a blurry shadow-man who dictates his orders from the future in exchange for genetically enhancements for the Suliban.

Archer and crew infiltrate the Suliban mothership by stealing one of their pods and breaking in to free the Klingon but Archer gets left behind. T’Pol takes command rescues Archer at the last minute by beaming him aboard, something that is considered a huge risk at this point in Star Trek history.

The Enterprise crew return the Klingon to his planet Kronos. Once there, it’s discovered he had been harboring some sort of code in his DNA.

Rather than return to earth Archer and crew are allowed to go on an exploratory mission to “see what’s out there”.

If it’s not clear to you by now, recaps are not my strong suit. I’ll likely paste those in from Memory Alpha from here on out, but I wanted to see what I could remember, having now watched the pilot 4 times in a row.

Why 4 times? Because there are two audio commentaries and a text commentary and I watched all 3 as well as watching it normally.

The commentaries aren’t too insightful or revealing, though there’s definitely some unease and defensiveness when the theme song comes on and some cute but unimportant memories from the set.

Enterprise is one of my favorite series and T’Pol is one of my favorite characters. Next to Spock she’s probably one of the best Vulcan characters in all of Trek. But because she’s dressed provocatively and the camera ogles her throughout the show’s first season, her performance is usually not what’s discussed which is really unfortunate.

Playing a Vulcan isn’t easy because it requires an unflattering haircut and extreme restraint mixed with a deep undercurrent of intelligence and concern. Jolene Blalock does this expertly, never overplaying it always allowing the depth to shine through.

The deleted scenes for this episode are just time wasting stuff cut for good reason.

I think Broken Bow is the best pilot episode in all of Trek because it doesn’t waste a moment getting into things, but never feels rushed. It establishes core elements of Star Trek’s long history in a way that feels completely organic to the story being told. They could easily have spent the whole time reminding us how similar or different things are to the Trek we know, but instead tell a new and compelling story while gracefully carrying the weight of all that came before (or narratively after).

That being said, my purpose here is to watch all of Star Trek by order of stardate and Broken Bow being the earliest point in Trek history makes it a very odd beginning to that saga in ways. Broken Bow doesn’t suffer creatively from not feeling like an inaugural episode. It’s just an observation.

I’ll leave it here since I suppose I’ll have more to say as things progress. I hope I’ll keep up with this. Maybe I’ll come back and edit this one later if I find a better form later on.

Star Trek: Enterprise — Broken Bow — Novelization by Diane Carey

Enterprise Broken Bow (Novelization)
Stardate April 16, 2151
Finished on April 26, 2023

Broken Bow is one of the best Star Trek pilot episodes of all time, but this novelization was very disappointing.

As Brannon Braga states in some of the Enterprise blu ray commentary, it’s clear the author was not a fan, at least not of Enterprise.

This book reads like at best like an annotated screenplay and at worst, like watching the actual episode with someone who constantly interrupts it.

While the book does expand on some scenes it never adds depth, only superfluous dialogue. The one exception to this might be the extended opening with Archer and his father but otherwise the only extra moments you get feel like the camera awkwardly lingering while the characters just add a few extra lines.

The other needless addition here is the constant rhetorical questions after every moment or conflict. Example: Something happens. The text asks “Could it be this? Could it have been that? Only time would tell.” It starts to feel like a tactic to meet a word count.

One thing it seems to add is Vulcan racism. Enterprise uses the conflict between humans and Vulcans to highlight interesting political tensions and interpersonal conflicts. Here we get constant undermining and nasty remarks. Incessant inner and open hostility toward T’Pol. Young Archer even refers to Vulcans as “Pointes” at one point, the first time I’ve heard a Vulcan slur!

Something Braga mentioned in the blu ray commentary was how this book reads like an open criticism of the show. I thought he was exaggerating but there are lots of remarks questioning Archer’s actions and indeed the very reason for crucial plot elements.

I believe Diane Carey has written quite a few other Trek novels/novelizations. Maybe she feels differently about the other shows and gives something more in those efforts that isn’t on display here.

The first two Khan novels take place mostly before this in the timeline but for all intents and purposes this is the first introduction to the Trek world by order of stardate. For that reason I feel like this should’ve taken some more creative license and added more depth.

I should also add this book comes with a 30pg extra at the end written by Paul Ruditis. It’s more or less the same info as the Season 1 blu ray extras but a nice addition nevertheless.

“Enterprise finds an abandoned ship, filled with corpses which appear to have been used for an experiment.”

Outside of cop and doctor shows they don’t make as much episodic TV anymore. I love that after a two part pilot establishing their characters and mission, the next episode starts two weeks later and though it’s not exactly business as usual, it gets on with the show and lets the exposition occur naturally.

Enterprise gets so much grief but this episode is proof of how unfair that is. It feels as good as any normal episode of Voyager and in many ways conveys the diversity and spirit of Star Trek more than any series before it.

Linda Park is so good as Hoshi Sato, the ship’s linguist. Her’s is an essential role since at this point in Trek history the “ship’s translator” is not as functional since space has not been explored anywhere as far as Kirk’s Enterprise will go 100 years later.

The “translator” in Star Trek has always been one of those easy things you just excuse because it’s necessary to keep the story going. The idea is that the translator is a mostly unseen device that simply sorts out languages for the crew both onboard and on away missions. But really it’s for us, the viewer, so we don’t have subtitles.

What’s interesting about Enterprise is, sometimes they do have subtitles (as seen in the pilot between the Suliban) because so many of the languages and technology are new.

The main plot in Fight Or Flight is to do with a ship of murdered aliens that Archer and the crew discover after finding their ship and not receiving a response. But this episode belongs to Hoshi, who we see first nurturing a small slug she found on some unseen world from a previous mission. She confides in Doctor Phlox about her fears of not being enough and Archer picks up on her general unease and brings her along to the alien ship to explore.

When they find the dead alien passengers all strung up and being siphoned of something in their blood, Hoshi loses her cool and screams.

In the end she saves the day by figuring out how to communicate with an approaching alien ship that belongs to the same race (the Axanar) as the murdered crew, and in doing so prevents an incident.

She lets the slug go on some other world and it’s all got a nice message about believing in yourself and letting go.

Also notable here is T’Pol voicing her reluctance to get involved. She advises Archer to completely ignore the alien ship and press on. Archer explores because in the two weeks since the pilot episode it’s clear they’ve not encountered any new species so Archer and the crew are eager to make a “first contact.”

T’Pol’s concern here is a nod to the, not yet implemented “Prime Directive” introduced in Star Trek The Original Series.

I like the shot moment with Trip and Phlox in the mess hall where Phlox voices some of his inappropriate interests in humans and their behavior.

The space suits used in the away mission are bulky astronaut type gear which is a nice way to remind us how early this is in Trek history. The suits also seem to be a nod to the space suits in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The end music from the pilot was a retread of the theme song, but here it has been replaced with a nicer more Trek-sounding theme that I beleive continues through the rest of the series. I like this theme and think swapping it with the theme song could’ve gone a long way toward saving the show.

No commentaries.

“An Enterprise landing party believes T’Pol is conspiring with a species of rock creatures on a strange class M planet.”

Episode begins with new characters Crewman Cutler and Crewman Novakovitch. Lower deck crewmen, or in TOS (The Orginal Series) terminology “Red Shirts''.

Archer is still hot to explore in spite of T’Pol’s Vulcan cautiousness and to be honest it’s a little annoying. He is a little too giddy about it.

Captain Archer, T’Pol, Trip, Mayweather, and crewman Cutler and Novakovitch all go on an away mission to explore a sort of nature planet. Archer gets sort of annoyed and teases T’Pol, which reinforces some of his Vulcan bigotry. He acts like a dad on a camping trip the whole time and eventually leaves them there overnight to do some studies.

Mayweather tells a ghost story about a lost space pod and someone inside who may or may not be alive after 60 years. It reminded me of a later episode actually.

A huge storm comes and they abandon their tents for a cave. Once there they all start hallucinating and accusing each other of stuff which gets pretty tense. They can talk to Enterprise over comms but they can’t get rescued because the storm is too heavy. They try using the transporter to beam up crewman Novakovitch but there is an accident.

DID I MENTION I LOVE TRANSPORTER ACCIDENTS?!?!

They beam him up but there’s so much debris in the air from the storm that they beam up a lot of the debris inside of him. So when they get his pattern from the buffer there’s rocks and branches and shit all through him because that’s what was moving through the air when he started to come up.

Dr. Phlox is pretty sure he can fix him but then it goes bad, not because of the accident but because there is some kind of poisonous pollen in the air causing the hallucinations and it’s apparently fatal.

Archer actually snaps at Phlox for being too cavalier about this which is a great character building moment for both of them.

So anyway this whole time T’Pol was right. Trip is threatening to kill her in the cave because he thinks she’s conspiring with invisible rock people that the rest of them are convinced are real. T’Pol is feeling the effects too but she’s Vulcan so she’s built of stronger stuff. She gets Archer to convince Trip to stand down over the comm and they beam down a vaccine.

During the standoff Trip says he’s gonna split T’Pol in two, like so they can get T’Pol to say: “What was that? Something about… splitting me in two.” Come on Enterprise!

By the way, I’m watching these in a small room adjacent to my bedroom that is mostly used for my host’s storage. It’s full of boxes and clothes and stuff but there’s a couch and I’ve got this big 43" tv set up with a blu-ray player now like my lonely little cinema. It’s pretty great. I just wish I could figure out some of the streaming services on it. My TV knows its European and won’t talk to my VPN like my laptop does.

This was a good mid-level episode. It’s filler but also, what’s wrong with filler? Remember when shows were 27 episodes a season like this?! Sure there was filler, but that’s how you got to know people. I’m sure there’s filler between you and some of your best friends.

I watched some of the extras on this disc and will report on those next.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 1 — Bonus Features

Watched January 15, 2023

CAST INTRODUCTION: approx 2m15s

Rick Berman and Scott Bakula introduce the crew in what looks like a video made for a convention before Enterprise was set to air.

IN CONVERSATION: RICK BERMAN AND BRANNON BRAGA: 1hr2m59s

This hour long conversation is interesting but has a lot of lulls and re-treads a lot of what is discussed in the pilot’s commentary.

Some highlights are:

They saw TOS and other Trek as being “Spanex” and ENT as being “Tennis shoes”, talking about how they wanted ENT to feel closer to our own time (2001), i.e. tactile buttons instead of touch screens, etc.
Initially the show was just called Enterprise with no “Star Trek” in the title, to hopefully differentiate it and bring in new viewers. “Star Trek” was brought back in in the 3rd season when ratings were down.
Some kinda outdated sentiments from Rick. He got a bit creepy about T’Pol on the commentary too. Interestingly actress Kim Rhodes has recently come out saying she was in the running for T’Pol but was considered too fat. This may be true but I still think Jolene Blalock had an amazing performance.
Fights with the studio were often about the show being set in the past leading to the eventual temporal cold war plot, which, studio note or not, was one of the best parts of the show.
Star Trek First Contact was a very successful TNG film that had come out only a few years prior and had a big influence on the look of ENT. The costumes with their quilted shoulders for one, but also the cameo of James Cromwell.
Regrets. A tone of defensiveness. Especially about the song which they sort of throw their hands up about. Apparently Braga wanted to use Beautiful Day by U2 which would have been so much worse. Berman says he still likes the song.
Defensiveness from both about killing off main characters. No comment for now.
They talk about a potential 2 part Kirk episode, which, if rumor is true, would’ve starred Shatner as a mirror universe Kirk traveling back from the future. That would’ve been incredible but they claim Shatner asked for too much money to make it possible.
They mention the novelization of the pilot reading like a critique of the script which is really funny. I’ve got to get a copy of it somehow. Apparently there are 18 ENT novels in total including that one, and I plan to purchase them all and read them.

NETWORK PRESENTATION: 3m17s

SYNDICATION PRESENTATION: 7m15s

Long and short trailers selling Enterprise presumably to video stores, distributors, and advertisers.

It’s weird they used such crummy footage from TOS for these. Just shows how good the remastering is.

Archival Mission Logs: ???

CREATING ENTERPRISE: 11m42s

A lot of great behind the scenes set design for the enterprise. It’s neat to see how it was put together from cloth, wood, styrofoam etc. Makes the modern CGI sets feel lacking.

O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! A PROFILE OF SCOTT BAKULA: 9m32s

Actors and crew gush over Bakula. Some insights from him about his approach to playing Archer. I think he comes off like the enterprise’s dad. It’s weird to see Jolene Blalock talking normally and not like a Vulcan. Hadn’t seen interviews with her before.

Nice behind the scenes footage.

NX-01 FILE 02: 2m11s

Dan Curry, visual effects producer, talks about matte paintings, models and designs used in the show.

“When Trip Tucker assists an alien vessel with repairs, a “friendly” encounter with one of the crew leads to rather unexpected consequences.”

Episode begins with Archer taking a shower. He loses gravity and begins to float with some CGI water beads, though I noted that the water from the shower head is still flowing downward.

This and some other malfunctions seem to reinforce the “old Trek” aspect of ENT (I’m calling it ENT now). But they soon learn there is a stealth ship siphoning their resources.

The Xirillians are caught and identify themselves as peaceful, trying to covertly use the resources they need to get home.

Archer offers to send Trip, the engineer, over to help with the issue they’re having with their warp reactor. Phlox gives Trip a vaccine and they send him over.

Travis Mayweather flys over and drops Trip off through the Xyrillian’s airlock. Once inside Trip is in a chamber that fills with gas and he has trouble breathing. Time seems to slow down for him and he starts to panic while a most nonreassuring voice tells him to breathe normally and calm down.

Trip is greeted by a flirty reptile looking lady named Ah’len. He feels woozy and they offer him a nap which he refuses. When he tries to work he feels sick and wants to go home but Archer orders him to nap which makes him feel better.

Ah’len feeds Trip some water balls and her fingers zap his lips a little. They do some repairs and she offers to show him their hologram room. Personally I find it weird that this extremely advanced race who have a holodeck a hundred years before we do, can’t seem to fly their ship and need to siphon resources. I also think it sucks to introduce some TNG tech in a pre-TOS show. But whatever.

They sit in a holographic boat on a holographic lake and Ah’len (Alien?) busts out a dish of beads. They put their fingers in the beads and read some of each others thoughts, stuff like favorite food, and little memories, sort of like a diet version of the Vulcan Mind Meld.

After this seemingly harmless flirtation. Trip returns to the Enterprise and sends the Xyrillians on their way. Trip begins to find himself extremely hungry and notices he’s grown a nipple on his wrist. After a visit to Doctor Phlox he finds out the memory exchange via granuals has left him pregnant with a half-Xyrillian offspring.

Here’s where things get goofy. Trip starts “eating for two” and getting emotional, more or less acting like a cartoon of a woman. This evokes a corny episode of TOS where Kirk switches bodies with a woman and Shatner starts acting in a similar silly way. Embarrassing stuff, but the TOS episode is worse.

Archer changes course so they can track down and get answers from the Xyrillians. This goes on for a while while Trip behaves pregnantly.

En route they bump into a Klingon warship who seems to fire on them, until they realize their weapons are actually malfunctioning. It doesn’t take Archer and crew long to recognize the Klingons are suffering from the same energy siphoning they were at the hands of the Xyrillians.

Archer tries to explain but of course the Klingons are not so diplomatic. T’Pol, who knows better, steps in and explains that Archer was responsible for returning Klang (the pilot’s Cornfield Klingon) and that they are in his debt and must listen. T’Pol also says the Klingon leader had called Archer a brother.

Initially the Klingons insist on executing the Xyrillians (maybe they should have!) but Archer and T’Pol talk them into handing them over by implying the Xyrillian’s have holographic tech that they might share. (This leads me to wonder… are the Xyrillian’s the architects of the hollodeck we come to eventually know?)

Archer also makes Trip show the Klingons his wrist-nipple which is meant to be a moment of levity where they all laugh but I found this really creepy and embarrassing.

Ah’len apologizes to Trip and offers to transfer his embryo. She’s just sort of like, “my bad!” about essentially assaulting him and he’s pretty casual about it too.

Meanwhile the Xyrillians are showing the Klingons the hologram suite by replicating their planet. Klingon: “I can see my house from bere.” (sigh)

So they part ways and that’s it. Ends with Archer asking T’Pol at dinner if the Klingon leader from the pilot had called him a brother like she said to the Klingon ship’s captain. She says the Klingons are known to lie so she saw no reason not to. (Sitcom ending.)

I actually think that’s a weird thing for a Vulcan to say given how against lying Spock is in TOS but one would argue Spock embellishes on Vulcan culture at times due to being only half-Vulcan and sort of defensive about it.

A lot of clumsy camera work in this episode.

Corny humor.

Nothing too egregious but it’s definitely a cheaper episode made between more ambitious parts of the production.

Someone based the Xyrillian’s character design heavily on the movie Enemy Mine as well as the male-pregnancy angle.

What I most want to know is: What happened to Trip’s half Xyrillian daughter?

Deleted Scene:

Trip, T’Pol and Malcolm try to recalibrate sensors to track down the Xirilians. Trip almost pukes.

By The Book (Enterprise Novel)

Stardate 2151
Finished in August, 2023

I really enjoyed By The Book. It feels like a real Season 1 episode, taking place specifically between episodes 4 and 5.

One of the main characters was Crewman Cutler which is interesting due to Cutler only appearing in three episodes total. She was meant to be in more but after actress Kellie Waymire’s sudden death the character simply did not appear. I actually appreciate them not ceremoniously killing her off and allowing her character to have a continued life in Trek beyond the actor’s real life. I think that’s nice, and this book stands as a nice monument to Waymire’s performance.

In By The Book, Cutler is trying to introduce her crewmates, including Novakovitch who is recovering from his recent transporter accident in the episode Strange New World, to a role playing game, not unlike Dungeons & Dragons. We spend a lot of this book with Cutler and friends during their leisure time just hanging out and playing a game, which is surprisingly refreshing. It feels like we’re getting to see what goes on on the NX-01 during the commercial breaks and between episodes. I actually wish there was more of this in the book, but that’s less a critique than it is praise.

The main plot with Archer and the bridge crew involves a messy first contact with the Fazi and the Hipon. The Fazi live extremely simple and strict lives while the Hipon are smelly psychic sea creatures.

The nature of this, Archer’s first-first contact, causes him to call into question a lot of his preconceptions about the complex Human/Vulcan relationship over the years and leads to some wonderful debates between the two that would've been great to see on screen.

I appreciate how bold and proactive Hoshi is here in contrast to her onscreen and Broken Bow novelization representations.

I also like how the smells of aliens and alien planets are discussed here.

I wish the Hipon and Fazi appeared somewhere else in the alpha canon of on-screen Trek.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this book to the uninitiated but if you love Star Trek Enterprise, and I do, this book is like a fun adventure hanging out with good friends and getting to know them better.

Star Trek: Enterprise — Terra Nova - S1E6

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 2— Terra Nova
Terra Nova
Stardate 2151
Watched on January 13, 2023

“Enterprise investigates the mystery of a lost Earth colony whose inhabitants disappeared decades before. But that doesn’t mean they left.”

Episode beings where they are already en route to investigate the colony called Terra Nova where a bunch of early space explorers were traveling to an inhabitable planet on what turned out to be a one way mission and a sort of Amelia Earhart story.

Officer Travis Mayweather begins the episode by talking about the history of it but also his “space boomer” past. This is something alluded to in a few other episodes, like a moment in the pilot I may have overlooked where Travis has found the “sweet spot” on the ship where the fake gravity doesn’t work and you can hang out upside down.

The “Space Boomer” concept gets featured in a later episode but is something I wish they’d explored more. It concerns the idea that at that point in history there would already have been earth people born in space who may have rarely or had never set foot on earth at all.

So Travis and crew discuss what they think they’re going to find there, if anything.

Opening credits. I never skip them. I listen to that damn song every time!

So Terra Nova was an inhabitable planet and the journey was 9 years, which at the time meant that it was likely a one way journey and since no one heard anything from them they were considered dead and no one looked.

Archer, Malcom, T’Pol and Mayweather head down for the away mission. Remember, no one is beaming so they are heading down on the very adorable Shuttlepod One (not to be confused with the episode of the same name or the Enterprise based podcast).

Scans and survey show Terra Nova to be mostly a ghost town. There had been some radioactive event but levels were now mostly ok. The ship they found was one designed to be disassembled and made into homes and equipment.

They split up and Malcom sees someone. He chases them to a cave. Archer T’Pol shows up and follows him in. They find food and a small camp.

They see tribal people in the cave with face paint and primitive clothes. I kinda think they recycled the cave set from Fight Or Flight. The tribal people attack, surprisingly with phasers ( I guess leftover? Or maybe they had regular guns? I can’t recall). Archer and co return phaser fire and run from the cave.

I also noticed in this one just how bulky their phasers are. It’s a pretty cool design.

The tribal people are not alien, but human.

Malcolm is injured and left behind in the cave while Archer, T’Pol and Mayweather return to enterprise.

Trip scans the cave to show 52 life signs, maybe more. It’s understood that these are clearly the descendants of the colonists, driven underground by radiation.

Archer goes back with Phlox; determined to meet them and reach out. They are greeted by two tribesmen with phasers and taken to Malcom who is injured but ok.

The tribal people have a funny way of talking but it’s English. They call themselves Novans. They refer to an underside and overside. They eat small animals called “diggers”, and say something about their “before families”.

The leader is an old man who is accompanied by a much older woman. They tell about how the humans are their enemies and try to kill the Novans. They reject what Archer says as “Human shale” (lies).

Phlox does a scan and determines the old lady is the leader’s mother and also that she has lung cancer. He offers to cure her if they will join him aboard Enterprise, but they only agree if Malcom stays, which all parties agree to.

They take the Novan leader and his mother on Shuttlepod One and go to sickbay. While there Archer brings up pictures of her “before families” the colonists. The old lady recognizes a picture of herself as a child, but only sort of. “It’s just Human Shale! They’re trying to confuse your path!” says the leader. This is goofy but one of my favorite Enterprise quotes.

T’Pol scans and finds the impact crater that is the cause of radiation but locates a part of the planet that is unaffected.

Meanwhile Malcom tries to talk to a Novan tribesman. He eats digger meat. Tribe children play shell music that sounds very similar to a patch on my Roland XV-88 keyboard.

They find the last transmission sent by the Novan Colonists. This is where things are a little complicated. Apparently there was some other faction who didn’t want to send a second wave of colonists. When an-asteroid his the Novan Colonists mistook it for an attack and began to frantically blame their fellow humans for attacking them. The children who survived remembered this and humans became their mythological enemies as a result.

Phlox takes Archer aside to say he can cure the old lady’s lung cancer but that they’re both radiated in a way he can’t fix and it’s only going to get worse. Now the conflict is how to get them to leave their radiated environment before they all die.

Archer is frustrated he can’t convince them to leave. He wants to save them and bring them to earth. T’Pol explains maybe they belong on Terra Nova after all.

Archer tries to get elders to convince younger ones to move to a new site on Terra Nova with caves that aren't affected by the radiation. They return to Terra Nova but the shuttlepod makes a crash landing inside the cave. Inside they find a young Novan pinned under a tree at the bottom of a deep well. Archer and the leader climb down to save him. Archer uses a phaser to save him by cutting the tree he’s pinned under in half.

The mother Novan convinces the elder to let Enterprise move them.

Dinner scene w archer, T’Pol, Trip and Mayweather. Mayweather talks about Amelia Earhart, Joseph Crater and other mysteries. Archer tells him he can submit the report on it so he will go down in history as part of solving the mystery of Terra Nova.

“Enterprise visits a Vulcan monastery, only to find that it is in the midst of being taken over by the Andorians.”

So I just noticed that the blu ray menus resemble the designs of the ship’s computers on the NX-01 which is pretty cool.

We begin at a Vulcan temple. 4 Andorians break in with phasers. Andorians are a sort of goofy looking blue alien with antenna. Its’ cool that Enterprise brings them back and takes them seriously.

The text commentary by Michael Okuda mentions that the launch bay sets in Enterprise were recycled from old TNG sets and all that remains of them.

I won’t go into details recapping this one. It’s fairly simple. Archer and co visit a Vulcan monastery, the P’Jem Temple located on a planet near the Andorian system. They kinda just visit because it’s there.

The Andorians are there tearing shit up and holding everyone hostage looking for spy technology which they Vulcans deny having.

In the pursuit of escape, it’s discovered the Vulcans actually have an enormous spy station there. Archer, who we know is no fan of Vulcans, asks T’Pol to take pictures and hand them to Shran, the Andorian leader played by Star Trek veteran Jeffrey Combs.

Shran makes a point of saying he’s in Archer’s debt.

Episode ends abruptly with a shot of their shuttles taking off. No dinner table scene.

That’s pretty much it but this episode is crucial for a number of reasons.

First it features Jeffrey Combs in his 5th Star Trek role as an Andorian, a species not seen in any significant speaking role here since the original series.

It was a considerable risk bringing the Andorians into Enterprise because they are comic looking by modern alien standards. Blue with wiggling antenna and white hair. Yet Enterprise not only maintains this signature original series look, it somehow strikes the perfect balance of tone.

Combs’ performance as Shran is funny but deeply intense. He keeps it from ever going too far in any direction.

This is also where we first hear him use the derogatory term for humans, calling Archer “pink-skin”.

Another important aspect of this episode is doubling down on Enterprise’s, controversial at the time, depiction of Vulcans as duplicitous and secretive. This rubbed many Spock fans the wrong way at the time but I think its a stroke of genius. Spock, after all, is half human and often shown as being in conflict with his fellow Vulcans.

This also makes for a really compelling political climate for this series, with humans, or “United Earth” feeling both grateful and condescended to by the technologically superior Vulcans. It’s easy to imagine the tension that would exist at this point and Enterprise does a great job of conveying it.

Michael Okuda’s text commentary has spoilers for the rest of the series which is kinda lame. So maybe leave that off if you're watching for the first time.

“With a Vulcan ship on their tail, Enterprise decides to investigate a comet.”

Trip and a few others are looking at pictures sent in by children. Trip shows one of a gargoyle-like depiction of a Vulcan to T’Pol.

Apparently three weeks have passed since the last episode. The Enterprise discovers a comet, maybe the largest anyone has ever seen. Mayweather affectionately calls it Archer’s Comet.

Archer suggests maybe just traveling alongside it to see where it goes. T’Pol seems bored by it and says Vulcans never had any interest in comets because there wasn’t much to them.

Cue opening song. “It’s been a long road…”

“Chef” made a pecan pie for Trip. This is, I believe, the 2nd mention of the unseen “chef”.

T’Pol seems upset after receiving a message on her little laptop computer.

Elsewhere it turns out the comet has a rare chemical called Eisillium, which the Vulcans haven’t been able to study. But just when they decide to explore a Vulcan ship shows up.

The Vulcan Captain Vanik announces himself. He’s extremely… Vulcan. Cold. His ship is enormous though and very cool looking. It’s like a giant red sports car with a halo around it.

Archer feels like Vulcans are following them. He’s annoyed to find them there.

Mayweather and Malcom go to the comet’s surface to drill for Eisillium again wearing the 2001 looking space suits. Vanik and his ship standby and watch.

Trip and Hoshi discover the Vulcans sent an encrypted message to T’Pol. Archer is so paranoid about Vulcan meddling that he allows Hoshi and Trip to decrypt it.

The bridge crew records a video for the children's class who sent the pictures in. Trip has to answer a question about sewage (something that is not brought up again in Star Trek until one of the later seasons of Discovery). This has to do with the fact that all waste matter, including sewage, is converted into usable energy on a starship to create things like containers, and even food.

Anyway the scene of them making videos for the kids is very cute (not a word I use very much). It’s just kind of nice, and also very grounding. The sending of letters home serves to remind us how new deep space travel is at this point in Trek history and is a good way of showing how we are closer to their way of life than we are to say Kirk’s.

On the ice comet Malcom and Mayweather are goofing off making a snowman. Archer busts them and asks “whose the sculptor”? Really he’s just kinda uncomfortable about looking childish in front of the Vulcan onlookers.

Trip reads T’Pol’s message. Hoshi says she didn’t because it wouldn’t be right. I tend to agree. This was really shitty behavior and could’ve been avoided by confronting T’Pol about the message instead of treating her like a spy, especially after she’s proved herself during The Andorian Incident and elsewhere.

Turns out it was a personal letter. Trip feels guilty and decides to tell her. Archer just kinda shrugs about it. He really treats T’Pol pretty badly in my opinion.

T’Pol is not pleased when Trip confesses. Jolene Blalock plays this very well though. She communicates irritation with her stance and mannerisms without overplaying it.

Archer wants to invite Vanik to be nice and hopefully get him to move on.

More mentions of Chef. I wonder what they were trying to do with that initially. Maybe I’ll find out in a commentary or extra.

T’Pol tells phlox she’s not sleeping. He intuits she’s anxious.

The ice comet Snowman is now a Vulcan caricature with pointy ears. Vulcan racism! They stick a bomb in it’s nose and blast a crater onto the comet.

Dinner with Varick is awkward. He is rude, cold. Archer and Trip try to keep it light but he says he already ate, keeps deflecting conversation, wearing his disinterest proudly.

Varick is actually a terrific Vulcan character because he is the Vulcan version of a company man and by the book kind of guy. When you read about Vulcan customs they always sound so severe and rigid and not like Spock or Tuvok from Voyager. I like this. Varick comes off like a prick to Archer and Trip but he’s really just a normal military guy doing what he does. It’s nice seeing a Vulcan that makes Sarek look compassionate too.

Interestingly I recall this actor William Utay as playing Phil from Night Court.

It gets weird and Varick says something mean in Vulcan to T’Pol on the way out.

Meanwhile the blast has changed the rotation of the ice comet putting Malcolm and Mayweather in danger. Drilling must now be rushed.

Trip comes to T’Pol’s quarters at her request. Apparently the message was about her arranged engagement to a Vulcan architect. She asks Trip for advice and he tries earnestly to help but it just devolves into cultural misunderstandings. The engagement was initially called off so she could continue to serve on board the Enterprise as sub-commander but with the arrival of a Vulcan ship she is essentially being asked to return. I wondered for a bit if that could even be the reason for Varick’s presence there but I think it was suggested he was already in the area so likely not.

The Vulcan arranged marriage here feels like a nod to the original series episode Amok Time.

Travis Mayweather hurts his knee in the drilled crater. Ice cracks beneath him and Malcolm. They make it to shuttlepod 1 but it falls into a crevasse.

The CGI is pretty darn good here for 00’s television. Its flaws are made more clear by the HD but the fact that they kept things very impressionistic and like a matte-painting most of the time worked in their favor. Some of the CGI shots are even beautiful at times.

Enterprise tries to rescue them using a grappler, like some hillbilly tow-truck but it doesn’t work. Vanicks ship offers to help but Archer is prideful. T’Pol finally convinces him to let Vanick help and surrender his pride. “You’re human. You have a choice.” she says. An obvious nod to her predicament.

Vanick uses a tractor beam and gets them out.

T’Pol asks to transmit a private message to the Vulcan ship. Archer agrees. Vanick’s ship leaves. Trip got through to her. She’s decided to stay. A real “faith of the heart” moment.

In her quarters T’Pol is burning candles and looking at a slice of pie. It’s meant to be a sweet moment but the music cue here, as the camera pans to a closeup of the pie, is oddly sinister. I don’t think that was on purpose. Nevertheless… cute.

““Enterprise finds a fully inhabited Earth-like planet, where some of the inhabitants are suffering from a mysterious disease.“

T’Pol is listing options of things to explore. Most are boring. Trip mentions a Minshara class (or M-Class) planet with a whole civilization.

Archer to T’Pol: “You might’a put that one at the top of the list.” 🤪

Faith of the heart…

This class-M planet seems huge. A pre industrial society with clipper ships and old stuff all around.

T’Pol argues for noninterference which Trip points out is a Vulcan directive and not a human one. It’s almost kind of whiney how Archer and co are so hot to explore just for the sake of it, which feels like a flaw here. We’re supposed to feel their excitement for seeking out strange new worlds, but mostly I feel like theyr’e being childish and reckless.

Hoshi listens to their language. They’re called the Akaali. Hoshi gets makeup done by Phlox to go visit.

T’Pol finds weird readings that seem non-indigenous.

They look like ren fair people all made up in disguise on the shuttlepod on the way down. Especially T’Pol who looks like an elf.

On the planet we hear a goofy flute score. The sets look cheap. It is night and everyone is wearing hoods and acting like NPCs.

Archer and co are trying to find a reactor making the neutrino emissions T’Pol read. Trip and Archer track it to a shop in town but everything is closed. They’re about to pick the lock when a girl with a mini crossbow catches them. It seems like their goose is cooked but T’Pol just casually stuns the girl from behind which made me laugh. Archer just acts annoyed. Archer is a complete dick to T’Pol and it’s starting to bother me.

Everyone leaves to the shuttlepod but Archer stays behind to talk to the woman when she wakes up. Seems questionable to me.

The woman wakes up to Archer in her medieval science lab and doesn’t seem that worried about it. She says something in the shop they were investigating is making people sick.

Back on the shuttlepod the scans reveal little beneath the reactor because there is some kind of force field blocking their readings.

Archer and Trip go back to the shop that day. You can see a green blinking light under the shopkeeper’s clothes and they clock him as not being Akaali and say so. Then they just kinda leave him be?

Archer and T’Pol visit the crossbow lady’s apothecary/lab.

T’Pol brings back the lady’s findings. Phlox explains toxic chemicals are seeping into the ground water.

Archer and crossbow lady aka Riann are staking out a shipment of barrels coming out of the shop. Archer’s translator stops working and he only hears her speak gibberish for a minute so he kisses her while he tries to get it to work. This whole romance is corny but I suppose it's similar to many of Kirk’s tenuous romances.

The crates get delivered to the woods via wheelbarrow and then sucked up by spaceship tractor beam. Why not just beam them from somewhere else?

In the woods someone fires a phaser at Archer and Riann. Phaser battle in the wood turns into fist fight. Archer knocks the guy out and notices his skin peels off revealing a lizard man (not a Gorn they are in fact Malurian though don’t click that link if you want to wait to find out their hilarious fate). Good makeup for this. Archer stuns him while he’s down.

He uses the Melurian’s device to open the door to the reactor room he couldn’t break into with Trip. It leads to a huge mining facility. Scans from Enterprise indicate they’re mining something used in weapons.

Archer and Riann are trying to disable this mining operation and argue over pressing the blue or yellow buttons.

Archer makes so many bad calls in this episode. He acts like a child. There’s just no reason for him to be doing any of this.

Meanwhile on the Enterprise an armed Malurian ship approaches. The shopkeeper hails Enterprise from the surface. T’Pol is in command. (maybe she should be there all the time?)

The ship fires. Enterprise is outgunned.

I forget where it happened but somebody mentioned Tellarites, a favorite species of mine.

T’Pol prepares to leave orbit and Trip barks “delay that order”, acting like a baby. T’Pol has to explain she’s not leaving just making it look like they are.

Archer removes the dampening field. The plan seems to be to transport the reactor off the planet. T’Pol and Trip transport it onto Enterprise and next to the Melurian ship — — then fire upon it.

Archer subdues bad guys and orders them transported back to their ship.(wouldn’t there be more than just a few in such a huge mining operation of this kind?) Also you can see their weapons are just gold spray-painted squirt guns.

Archer gives the radiation cure to Riann and kisses her like a movie star. Cue the flutes.

The End.

They were really trying to save money on this one. The script, the sets, the score, the cast. The shopkeeper guy was actually pretty menacing and good here. This whole thing seems like a mess. A non-federation m-class planet with this level of interference. But we kinda never hear about it again from what I remember. Honestly no one acts normal in this except T’Pol who deserves a fuckin medal already in my opinion.

“Enterprise is sent to assist the Fortunate, an Earth freighter that has been attacked by Nausicaan pirates. But the Fortunate may not be as innocent as it seems”

Directed by LeVar Burton (aka Geordie Laforge from TNG)

A freighter in space.

Opening strains of the score resemble the theme to DS9 but only because both shows share a composer in Dennis McCarthy.

Workers are playing some low gravity football on the freighter until suddenly they are under attack by Nauseicaans.

It’s been A long road… I never skip the. Not once. Also this time around I noticed that, at least on the blu ray, the opening sequence seems to have a blend of high and low resolution images. Maybe the sources used in editing were SD?

On the Enterprise Archer and his dog Porthos are awoken by transmission from Admiral Forest telling him to turn around and chase cargo ship fortunate, the freighter we just saw.

Ensign Travis Mayweather explains “space boomers” and freighter life. This is a concept I wish Enterprise had explored more. The idea that there were these new generations born off-earth or who had lived major parts of their lives in space or on other worlds.

The Fortunate does not answer hails but the scans show 24 bio signs. Phlox joins them on the away team.

The Fortunate crew deflects and tells them they don’t need help. It’s suspicious. Phlox insists on seeing their wounded captain. They reluctantly agree and Archer offers to assist in fixing their ship and supplying weapons they may need.

It turns out they’ve captured and are torturing a Nausicaan. The occasional shift to a non-Starfleet POV is slightly jarring here only because we haven’t really seen it so far. It’s not a bad thing, just an odd choice.

Mayweather brings the Fortunate’s temp Captain aboard Enterprise and bonds with him.

Someone says the line: “The next generation of freighters”. (sly reference LeVar!)

Mayweather also says “Chef’s the best in Starfleet. I heard the captain had to call in a lot of favors to get him on board.” More references to Chef. I wonder what the original plan for that was.

It comes up when the temp Captain’s parents were killed in some notorious freighter attack. The conversation turns to an argument about why Mayweather left the freighter life for Starfleet and things get tense.

T’Pol notices the Fortunate are rerouting power but the crewman there tells her not to worry about it. A kid runs by playing hide n seek and T’Pol covers for her. Idk why they put this in there except to drive the point home that there are children living on these freighters alongside the adults.

They find the Nausicaan’s bio scan and can tell he’s injured.

Archer and T’Pol confront the temp Captain They’re caught. Archer has no jurisdiction but threatens to remove all the fixes he’s applied to the freighter.

Temp Captain agrees to show Archer, T’Pol, Malcom and Phlox the prisoner but corner and draw phasers on them instead.

They shoot a breach in the cargo hold during the shootout then seal them in and separate their cargo pod from the ship.

Enterprise sees the separation and contacts Archer. Enterprise fires on the freighter but it leaves too quickly.

Temp Captain beats the Nausicaan and tries to get the shield codes from him so he can fire on the other Nausicaan ships when they return for their captured shipmate.

Maywewrher talks to Trip and then Archer. He wonders whether it is wrong for them to intervene. Archer explains they have to defend the Nuasicaan and makes the right argument but something about the way he talks to Mayweather here gives me the creeps. He’s acting like some dickhead shift manager when he says “Any more of my orders you’d like to question?”

The freighter finds a Nausicaan ship. The ship runs. They fire on them but miss and pursue but find an asteroid with about 6 Nausicaan ships hiding out. The freighter fires but the shields block it. The codes given from their prisoner don’t work.

They decide to fight anyhow and the Nausicaans board the freighter. A phaser fight ensues onboard.

The Enterprise shows up. “Polarize the hull plating.” I guess that means shields. I’ve heard that a few times now and need to look it up.

By the way, the Nausicaan makeup is decent. Kinda like more colorful Predators but the costumes are just leather jackets. Something off about the way they move. They just seem like regular guys with regular humanoid bodies wearing clothes.

Archer tries to negotiate with the Nausicaan captain.

Enterprise contacts the Freighter’s temp Captain. Maywewrher tries to tell him over the conn that whatever he does will be revisited on other freighters in the future by way of the Nausicaan’s revenge. He convinces him to give up the hostage which he does and the Nausicaans leave.

Archer talks to the real freighter Captain who is just now gaining consciousness and recovering from his injuries.

[I noticed a hair in the gate during this scene, reminding me of my 35mm projection days. It’s just in one frame. Blink and you’ll miss it.]

Anyway the temp captain gets demoted but not fired. They handle things their own way and aren’t under Starfleet jurisdiction (I wonder why though?). It seems clear Archer would’ve thrown the book at this guy but also respects the older Freighter captain and his decision.

There’s some talk about all the recent space-progress and this new world the space-boomers will inherit.

Shuttle pod pushes off the freighter.

The End.

This is a pretty good episode. It does a good job showing how space is still kind of the wild west at this point and the right response isn’t always clear.

I appreciate that they didn’t demonize nor sympathize with the freighter crew or the Nausicaans. Both were right and wrong, and Enterprise was just in the middle of it trying to figure out what to do.

Dramatically it wasn’t the best but it really does a great job of world building for Star Trek.

I should add that today I bought a model of the Enterprise NX-01 from this series. I was gonna wait until I finished season 1 but I worried they’d sell it before I could and there isn’t much Star Trek stuff to buy here so I went ahead and got it.

I’ve also purchased all 18 of the novels and am starting with the Broken Bow novelization which I will retroactively go review next to its namesake episode.

“Archer is confronted by a member of his crew who claims to be from nine hundred years in the future — and is there to capture a Suliban operative who has boarded Enterprise.”

Silik, the Suliban Archer tangled with talks to his shadow-man master.

It’s been a long road… etc.

The crew is having “movie night” and watching the fictional movie “Attack Of The Killer Androids”.

Crewman Daniels brings Archer his breakfast.

They bump into a ship of voyagers on a religious pilgrimage— to view something called “the great plume”. A nebula or somesuch thing. Archer invites them to watch from on board the Enterprise. Their captain, a different species alien who is just hauling them like cargo, doesn’t give a shit.

Archer: “Tell Chef to prepare- something.”

They all eat together. One lingering guy seems suspicious.

Phlox studied many earth religions and is very intrigued by the new visitors.

On the bridge, Malcolm goes to repair the targeting system and leaves Mayweather in charge. Hoshi teases him to take the captain’s chair. He goes for it but Malcom comes back early and he’s a little embarrassed.

Trip gives the visitors a tour and the one suspicious guy reaches up and unplugs something.

A plasma storm hits. Both ships try to go around but the storm is doing damage.

Phlox goes off to the visitor’s ship to observe their customs.

Trip says the warp engine was fixed but doesn’t know by whom. It would seem the suspicious guy saved their ship.

Crewman Daniels confronts Archer and tells him one of the religious voyagers is in fact a Suliban. He insists on talking to Archer in his quarters where he explains he is in fact a temporal Cold War agent. A time traveler from the future sent to stop people who might try and manipulate time in their favor. He brings out a little gameboy device that projects a holographic display or “temporal observatory”.

Apparently the Suliban are receiving generic modifications from the shadow-guy. These modifications also help them avoid temporal sensors which actually makes a lot of sense plot-wise seeing as how it would mutually benefit the Suliban and the shadow-man’s interests.

Archer tells T’Pol and Trip. T’Pol doesn’t believe it.

Now they have to try and find Selick when the religious voyager’s return. Daniels helps them get ready for this by doing modifications on the ship. Daniels says he is from earth; Illinois. Also says “depends on how you define earth”. Interesting.

I think Daniels is sort of creepy and overly familiar. I find it odd that Archer just believes him after seeing a holographic image and hearing him talk a bit.

Daniels modifies some ship sensors by attaching something that looks like an early mp3 player to his wrist and walking into the wall.

Archer goes to his quarters. Porthos is barking. He apparently can sense Selick who has made himself invisible. Selick reveals himself. He wants to find Daniels. He stuns Archer with his phaser

The Plume begins and Phlox joins them in their traditional chant. He seems very honored to be included in their tradition.

Selick straight up kills Daniels and slips into the wall. Archer uses Daniels wall walking device to go after him. They fight.

Selick opens the space doors to escape and oddly falls into space as if there were gravity. Hmm.

Archer has Daniels quarters sealed off. A creepy music cue plays.

The End.

Really nice adventurous score to this episode that has nice callbacks to the orchestration of the original series’ score.

I have a lot to say about this whole temporal cold war plot but I will wait until it’s played out a little more. Apparently the network was concerned that this stage in Trek history wasn’t futurey enough so this was the result of a studio note. It’s kind of a bad note in my opinion but they executed it fairly well considering.

“Enterprise is attacked by an unknown alien starship, as Archer orders the crew to install experimental “phase cannons”. Meanwhile, Sato is ordered to find out what Reed’s favorite food is for a birthday dinner.”

Veteran Trek director Winrich Kokbe for this one.

Enterprise subspace amplifiers so they can send messages back. I’m not sure what sub-space is but it sounds like some space radio signal thing.

A ship shows up. Archer hails them but no reply. They just stare Enterprise down and fuck off.

There’s a B-plot in this whole episode about how no one knows anything about Malcolm and how he’s kind of an odd person. They use the new subspace amplifiers to secretly call his parents and ask his favorite food.

Eventually the alien ship returns and boards the Enterprise. To me, it’s exciting to see any Star Trek episode where you have an unknown species with unknown motives.

When we finally see them they are entirely CGI creatures. Again the CGI here is pretty decent for the time, but the way they walk is a big goofy.

I watched the episode normally and again with the commentary by writer Andrè Bormanis and effects supervisor Dan Curry. Curry is very proud of the alien’s design and talks about the benefits of CGI. Bormanis was a science consultant on many different Star Trek series and films. He claims this was his first original Star Trek script though IMDB lists him as writing a story for Voyager.

The alien’s presence highlights the fact that Enterprise left too early before being outfitted with proper weapons. Malcom, Trip and the rest of engineering scramble to equip themselves so the Enterprise won’t have to return to earth and can defend themselves against this suspicious new species.

They accidentally overload the phase canons but that turns out to be just what they need to shoot at and scare off these unnamed unknown aliens.

And in the end, they’re all drinking beers in engineering (Bormanis cites this as being part of the effort to show the Enterprise crew as being “more like us” or closer to current day earth habits and lifestyle). Hoshi had talked to Phlox about Malcom’s allergies which seems kinda like a break of confidentiality but it turned out he was taking some drug that allowed him to eat pineapple because he loved it and they got him a pineapple upsidedown cake. I thought that was nice.

The end more or less.

Two things I noticed this time out:

The stations and ship design all have this bulky rounded plastic look. Very early 2000s. I remember games, gadgets and toys and things from that era having this look. Big molded plastic pieces.

I also noticed that during warp the stars had the sort of rainbow-prism look like in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

NOTE:

I’ve decided to stop doing full recaps here. Maybe no one will ever read these and it will just be a thing I do for myself but I do want it to be readable and not just an exercise in recall and comprehension.

I do really hope to have insights about Star Trek, what it means, how and why it works, and why it is so important to me.

So I’m not going to go back and re-write anything. I’m just going to mark this and adapt going forward. 🖖

This episode is narrated by Doctor Phlox’s letters to a human colleague who is stationed on his home planet of Denobula.

Two races on one planet. One is technologically advanced with a genetic illness, and the other is seemingly primitive but healthy.

Phlox faces a dilemma very similar to the one archer faces in By The Book. So similar in fact I wonder if this episode was loosely based on its plot. As a result there are some minor contradictions like Archer and T’Pol having conversations they supposedly already had but that’s to be expected from these beta-canon books and comics.

Crewman Cutler is also present here and shows a romantic interest in Phlox. It’s too bad we never got to see that play out.

As it turns out Enterprise just had a small collision with a ship of aliens having ship trouble.

Trip tries to get home and Malcolm despairs, quite annoyingly.

Malcom has a goofy dream where T’Pol tries to fuck him and he keeps asking her to call him “Stinky”. Regrettable moment here haha.

Some space debris hits them and causes a leak that expedites their demise. They figure out they can get an extra day and half if they lower the temperature.

Enterprise figures out what damaged them was a series of small black holes. A new phenomenon that intrigues T’Pol but makes Archer start looking for Trip and Malcolm.

As annoying as Malcolm is in this episode it builds to a nice character moment for him revealing how difficult he finds socializing and how enterprise finally felt like a place he was accepted.

They get drunk and Malcom talks about how not T’Pol is and gets a message that Enterprise is alive and ok but they’re still too far to get to them in time.

They detonate a bomb to try and get Enterprise's attention and they are found.

Deleted scene: Extended drinking scene where trip discusses his jealousy / admiration for Archer. Oddly the televised footage it’s sandwiched with is shown in black and white to distinguish it.

Commentary: writer Brannon Braga, director David Livingston and stars Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating.

They mostly talk about how fun it was to write and make but it’s nice to listen to.

It should also be noted that Keating and Trinneer have an Enterprise podcast called The Shuttlepod.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 4 — Fusion - S1E17

Enterprise encounters a ship of freewheeling Vulcans who don’t abandon logic or Surak’s teachings entirely but choose to explore their emotions more freely. They need some repairs for whatever reason so Archer and the NX-01 crew seem delighted to help them and have them on board.

T’Pol is polite but clearly disgusted with them. Archer, being insensitive as usual, assigns her to work with one of them, a crewman named Tolaris.

Tolaris is immediately flirtatious and creepy but T’Pol is somewhat intrigued when he suggests she skip her nightly meditation so that she might dream more clearly.

Meanwhile Trip is assigned to work with the Vulcan engineer Kov and the two hit it off right away with a lot of very frank discussion about each other’s culture.

T’Pol has a weird dream with Jazz music about a club called Fusion In San Francisco. She tells Tolaris about it and they decide to explore mind melding together but he takes it way too far and essentially mind rapes her. It’s a really unsettling scene. T’Pol ends up in sickbay and Tolaris shrugs it off.

One odd detail here is a sort of clock sculpture in T’Pol’s room that has numbers but also what looks like sperm swimming to an egg. Fascinating 🤨.

Archer gets a message from Vulcan high command via Admiral Forrest that Kov’s father is dying and wants to speak with him. They are obviously estranged because of Kov’s emotional exploration. Archer enlists Trip to help and Kov reaches out to his father.

Archer entraps Tolaris by provoking him to rage and then tells him to get off his ship at phaser point. It’s a nice moment to see Archer step up and defend T’Pol but I can’t help but feel this episode glosses over what happened to her. I don’t think some scene of T’Pol suffering or Archer grandstanding would’ve been necessary but it does seem odd that the Vulcan Captain Tavin (played by Robert Pine — Chris Pine’s dad!) never appears after the first act. We don’t see any apology from him or disciplinary action for Tolaris.

The episode just ends with these emo-Vulcans fucking off to somewhere else and T’Pol meditating by candlelight.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 4 — Rogue Planet

Trip is trying to take an official photo of Captain Archer with what looks like a Sony Cybershot camera from the early 2000s when they suddenly encounter what T’Pol identifies as a rogue planet (a planet that has broken from its orbit).

Archer leads an away team wearing bulky plastic SpyTech night vision goggles and they encounter some hunters who identify themselves as being Eska. But they really seem like some conservative cigar smoking dads.

Archer has a weird vision of a beautiful woman and the hunters all laugh at him.

One of the hunters gets maimed by a space pig and the woman appears to Archer again. She seems to know him.

Phlox treats the hunter and finds the pigs cells are trying to change into something else.

The woman in the woods reveals she’s a species of telepathic shapeshifters (Wraiths) that are the prey of the Eska hunters.

The cgi of the Wraith’s transformation is actually pretty well done.

Archer reasons that the Wraith is taking the form of how he imagined a woman in a poem by Yeats his mother used to read him. Specifically the “glimmering girl” from “The Song Of The Wandering Aengus”.

Archer decided to help the Wraiths by creating a masking agent. There’s no prime directive yet but this seems like it would surely be breaking it.

Archer says goodbye to the Wraith and she reverts to her original form which I guess is a snail without a shell. 🐌 🖖🏼

Acquisition

Stardate 2151

Watched November 16, 2023

Ron Howard, Jeffrey Combs, and Ethan Philips (all veteran Trek actors) as Ferengis.

This episode is somewhat controversial, because it introduces the Ferengi two centuries before their initial contact with Starfleet in the first season of TNG.

I think they pull off this cheat in a way that is both fun and works canonically.

When the episode begins, the Frangi are looting and rating the enterprise, while the entire crew has been rendered unconscious. All except for Trip who was in the decontamination chamber.

Initially the Ferengi crew are unintelligible but they eventually use their own translator device which is a little too convenient but maybe necessary just to get on with things.

The score in this one is particularly excellent and the costumes are great. Remember these are Ferengi from 200 years before we know them on TNG.

The script features a perfect mix of the ferengi’s sinister goofiness.

Most of the plot revolves around the Frengi, trying to find “the vault” on the enterprise.

Archer eventually wakes up and Trip wakes up T’Pol. I could’ve sworn he wakes up Hoshi too but we never get any lines from her here which is too bad because I think she would’ve been interested in their language. Maybe that’s the point though. if the Frangi had revealed too much about their species, then it would not have made sense that Starfleet would not know about them for 200 more years.

Archer and Tree turn the tables on the Ferengi pretty easily in what amounts to a scooby doo type plot where they put the lowly one against the bossy one.

I think that type of comedy is actually appropriate for a Ferengi episode though.

There’s some stuff w T’Pol performing the Umox (a sexual earlobe act) on one of the Ferengi that is sort of dumb.

I think this is a mostly fun episode that gets away with its premise.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 5 — Oasis - S1E20

Archer, Trip and T’Pol share a meal with an unspecified alien played by Tom Bergeron. The alien is a trader, who tells them that the parts they need might be available on a shipwreck that he saw on a nearby planet, but he warns them that it is basically haunted.

They take the shuttlepod down to discover a whole crew lead by veteran Trek actor Rene Auberjonois who played Odo on DS9 and his daughter played by Annie Wersching who would go on to play the Borg Queen in Picard.

The crew are from the Kantare race and though they’ve been stranded where their ship crashed for over 20 years they seem resistant to any help from Enterprise.

In a plot point that echoes The Cage, it turns out the father and daughter are real but the rest of the crew are holograms. They’re weirdly hostile when Enterprise discovers their secret but the daughter who is sweet on Trip (and seems mentally like a child) is sympathetic and unplugs all the holograms to save the Enterprise crew.

A peaceful solution is reached where rather than immediately relocating them, Enterprise gives them the parts and tools they need to use their hologram crew (who by the way are all based on people who died in the original crash) to rebuild and eventually leave.

Kind of a dark episode conceptually.

I also feel like we are meeting too many civilized humanoid races with long histories at this point in the NX-01’s mission. Archer and crew are making lots of first contacts that seem rather nonchalant given their outlook when their voyage began.

Deleted Scenes:

Trip and T’Pol talking about fear and here T’Pol mentions she was only ever afraid of a planned going away party for her when she was recalled by high command.

Trip and T’Pol encounter the cargo ship's crew and they all just stand there saying nothing.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 5 — Detained - S1E21

Stardate 2152

Archer and Mayweather wake up imprisoned and see Suliban outside their cell.

But it turns out the Suluban are also prisoners there, enslaved by a military race who are at war with the Suliban. The leader of this race is played by none other than Dean Stockwell, Scott Bakula’s cast mate from Quantum Leap.

Meanwhile T’Pol is commanding Enterprise and gets in touch with Stockwell’s Colonel Grat, deciding to play it by the rules.

There’s a lot of insubordination in this episode. Mayweather speaking out of turn in front of Colonel Grat, Trip shouting over T’Pol on the bridge.

When Archer makes it clear he sympathizes with the innocent Suliban who are enslaved, Colonel Grat becomes unhelpful and keeps Archer and Mayweather detained.

Archer begins to plan a prison break and revolt.

T’Pol is particularly sassy in this one.

More use of the “phase pistols” that look like hair dryers.

I really like the Suliban makeup. It’s more creative than the usual Trek races.

It’s kind of a shame this is all we ever see of Stockwell’s colonel Grat. There could’ve been a longer plot with him.

Malcom dresses up as a Suliban and beams down to assist in the revolt. He looks pretty sinister. They’re using the transporter way too much already.

The Tandarans do appear in a later episode (I read ahead) but otherwise never again.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 5 — Vox Sula - S1E22

Stardate 2151 / 2152

This episode includes an optional text commentary by Mike and Denise Okuda mostly to do with technical and production matters to Trek in general but still very interesting.

This episode is directed by Roxann Dawson who played B’Elanna Torres on Star Trek Voyager.

A first contact with the Kreetassans goes bad and as they leave a slimy creature sneaks onto Enterprise.

T’Pol is bitchy with Hoshi about the blown first contact.

Some extended mess hall scenes that make me miss reading the Enterprise novel By The Book.

The crew has a movie night to watch Wages Of Fear.

Archer loves his water polo haha.

A random crewman discovers where the slime monster is hiding and it has spun a sort of web. There’s also a sort of eel / worm.

The slimy worm (but not Slimeworm!) captures Trip, Archer, and two crewmen. Phlox investigates its physiology. The slime looks unfortunately like cum.

The bio signs in sickbay of the NX-01 look like pro tools mix windows to me.

They try blasting the creature but that just makes it angry. It starts linking the minds of Trip, Archer, and the two crewmen.

Hoshi tries to figure out the creature's language with T’Pol.

Malcom and Phlox have a disagreement about harming the creature.

Mayweather contacts the Keeetassams who offer help but demand an apology. Apparently eating in public is shameful and offensive to them.

Hoshi figures out the creature’s language and learns it wants to return home to form with the rest of its body.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 5 — Fallen Hero - S1E23

Dinner in Captain’s quarters with Archer, Trip and T’Pol and T’Pol suggests the crew aren’t getting laid and need to ease tension. She suggests they stopover on planet Risa (which was the often featured “pleasure planet” on TNG).

Meanwhile, Enterprise must host a Vulcan ambassador V’Lar. Hoshi gives up her quarters.

Turns out V’Lar is being expelled from Mazar for unspecified “abuse of her position”.

V’Lar is sort of a wild card for a Vulcan and T’Pol seems disappointed.

The Mazarites who were in a big hurry to get rid of V’Lar all the sudden want her returned and begin firing on Enterprise when they refuse.

V’Lar won’t say what it’s about so Archer threatens to return her but after she confides in T’Pol, T’Pol asks Archer to trust her.

A high speed warp chase ensues and it comes out that V’Lar was trying to expose Mazarite corruption.

Ultimately the Mazarites catch up with Enterprise before they can reach a more powerful Vulcan ship so Archer invents a ruse to fake V’Lar’s death just in time for the Vulcans to show up.

The Mazarites have little folds on their cheeks.

The Vulcan ships are so cool. Like a gun with a halo.

It was nice seeing Archer happy to see the Vulcans for once and the Vulcan captain being an ally.

I thought it was funny that at one point there is a fire in engineering and someone just uses a regular old fire extinguisher to put it out.

Deleted Scenes:

Mayweather reads sexy stuff about Risa off his pad to Hoshi and Malcolm. Their food looks pretty good.

Mayweather, Malcom, and Hoshi ask T’Pol about Risa then the Mazarite ships show up.

Trip notes that warp 5 will be a Starfleet record. They should’ve kept that scene in.

Disc 5 Bonus Features

Enterprise Outtakes - 9m5s

Just a lot of fun bloopers from season 1. Line flubs and things like that. Nice to see everyone having fun together.

Jolene Blalock seems to be laughing and having a great time. It’s nice to see her out of character.

On The Set - 28m32s

Barry Kibrick hosts a making-of documentary of the episode Vox Sola. Really great behind the scenes footage of all aspects of that episode's production. It’s a testament to Dawson's direction seeing how crappy the worm/eel looks off camera. Brannon Braga always seems so exhausted and apologetic whenever he’s being interviewed. It’s interesting to see what state of the art CGI looked like in the early 2000s and considering how it looked in movies I remember from then, it’s pretty impressive here. I especially loved seeing composer Paul Baillargeon make a score in less than 6 hours.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 5 — Desert Crossing - S1E24

Guest starring the great Clancy Brown as Zobral, a clan leader of Torothans, who live on a desert planet.

Archer accepts Zobral’s invitation to come down and play a desert sport that is sort of like water polo on land. Archer brings Trip and they take the shuttlepod down to Zobral’s humble camp on the planet below.

Meanwhile, T’Pol is on the bridge and receives a message from the real government of the Torothans who basically says that Zobral is a terrorist and good luck ever seeing your Captain again.

T’Pol contacts Archer mid-game to tell him to get his ass back to the ship but it’s too late and Zobral is jamming the signal.

Basically Zobral turns out to be a decent guy who heard rumors that Archer was some kind of Spartacus after freeing the enslaved Suliban in front of the Tandaran prison.

I’m cutting some corners here but Trip and Archer escape into the desert and then get fired upon by the Torothan government and Zobral has to team up with the Enterprise crew and help them escape the planet alive.

Archer shows some growth here because instead of meddling in Torothan politics and culture he tells Zobral he’s not the warrior he’s looking for but he does sympathize with his cause, and then the Enterprise just fucks off.

T’Pol was likely pleased.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 6 — Two Days And Two Nights - S1E25

Archer and the rest of the crew head down to Risa finally.

Trip wears the ugly shirt he said he planned on getting noticed in that he had on in the last episode they tried to go to Risa.

It’s nice to see them wearing civilian clothes knowing the shuttlepod trip down.

Crewman Cutler and T’Pol inject Dr Phlox with a hibernation serum. We haven’t seen much of Phlox in a while annoyingly.

Archer plans to just relax with Porthos while Trip and Malcolm are goofy and horny about the whole thing.

Archer finds a gift from T’Pol in his room. A copy of “The Teachings Of Surak”. This beautiful red book is the one prop from all of Star Trek I would like to own the most.

Archer meets his sexy hotel room neighbor lady when her ugly little dog starts barking at Porthos. Seriously, this dog is hideous. The lady has some kinda leopard spots so I guess she’s not human.

Meanwhile Hoshi meets some doofy looking guy with head ridges who speaks many languages.

Malcom and Trip are at some nightclub that just looks like a shitty Hilton bar. They meet two Risan girls. I guess Riasns are just humans with little banana stickers on their forehead.

This episode reminds me of the TNG episode Captain’s Holiday.

The two girls Malcom and Trip were chatting up transform into ghoul looking aliens who rob them and knock them out with phaser blasts.

Mayweather calls T’Pol asking to return after a rock climbing accident. Crewman Cutler helps see to his wounds.

Trip and Malcom wake up hogtied in the wine cellar where they were mugged.

Leopard lady tells Archer her whole family were killed by the Suliban and starts ranting at him about them, pressing him for information. She basically recaps the whole Suliban plot for us.

Archer gives her a bioscan and it says she’s Tandaran (the species from the Suliban prison episode Detained). She knocks him out by giving him a small cut.

Meanwhile Hoshi sleeps with the doofy guy who looks like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer to me.

Phlox fixed up Mayweather and goes back to bed.

Porthos wakes up Archer and the Leopard spot lady is gone.

They all head back to the Enterprise in the shuttlepod and the episode ends abruptly. Weird.

Deleted Scene:

Archer looks out at a green screen where Risa should be. A pushy Risa travel agent tries to plan their Risa accommodations. Trip makes a sly hint that he wants to meet prostitutes.

Season 1 Disc 6 Bonus Features

To Boldly Go: Launching Enterprise

Part 1: Countdown — 30m45s

This is a pretty great documentary about the beginnings of production on this show.

One thing it reveals is Brannon Braga’s initial plan to keep the whole first season set on earth which I think could’ve been amazing.

It also explains how the whole temporal Cold War plot was shoehorned into the series and was actually from a pitch Braga had about an original series he wanted to create.

Lots of great stuff from production designer Herman Zimmerman about the building of the sets.

Mike and Denise Okusa talk about how they had video animations running on all the screens hooked up to dvd players in a video village set up behind the scenes.

They talk about the song too but I think that’s all stuff that is redundant to clips seen on other bonus features. Braga is clearly still pissed about the song though haha.

The end credits to this part of the doc have a really nice and slightly slower version of the Enterprise end credits music.

Part 2: Boarding The NX-01 — 31m16s

Casting, auditions, shooting the pilot etc.

Dominic Keating’s impression of John Billingsley is really funny.

Part 3: First Flight — 27m51s

They discuss the first season’s shortcomings.

Braga takes blame as head writer for not having a good writers room. He really always seems like he just got done being yelled at. He criticized Terra Nova as a bad episode which I totally disagree with.

Archival Mission Log: Celebrating Star Trek — 15m19s

Some coverage of Star Trek: The Experience, an interactive convention.

This is really fantastic and plays like an extension of the documentary Trekkies in a lot of ways.

We even get to see a Trek wedding! 🖖🏼

Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 — Disc 6 — Shockwave Part 1 - S1E26

Archer, T’Pol, Malcom, and Trip head down in a shuttlepod to make what seems to be a typical first contact when an explosion suddenly ignites a massive part of the planet below.

Trip ends up knocked out. Apparently 3600 colonists have been killed.

It would seem that the shuttle pod accidentally ignited an industrial byproduct that lingers in that planet's atmosphere.

Archer is devastated.

Phlox explains grief to T’Pol in a really touching way.

The mission gets canceled.

T’Pol shows Archer some weird readings they found and offers to argue for the mission to Vulcan High Command.

All of a sudden Archer wakes up 10 months in the past. Crewman Daniels shows up and tells him that the explosion was actually the Suliban tampering with time.

Archer returns from the past and starts looking for clues where Daniels tells them they will be including a sort of time Google device.

Archer has Trip built some devices based on schematics found in Daniels device.

The device allows them to see through the Suliban’s cloak. They find one and exchange fire.

Archer, Trip and T’Pol fly in a shuttlepod and raid the Suliban headquarters. The suspense in this part is fantastic.

Archer seems to be carrying out Daniel’s instructions. They take some evidence from the Suliban then escape in the shuttlepod, only the clamps won’t let go so they break away leaving a few Suliban soldiers getting violently sucked out into space.

The discs they took from the Suliban prove that cloaked Suliban ships were responsible for the attack and Enterprise is redeemed.

Archer confesses the time travel to T’Pol.

A swarm of Suliban ships surround the Enterprise. One of their ships docks and the leader demands Archer board it.

Archer surrenders to them in an emotional goodbye. But Archer disappears and ends up in some kind of wreckage.

The Suliban ships target the Enterprise's warp core.

Archer has been transported to the 31st century by Daniels. A wasteland. But the time portals are gone and Archer is trapped in the dark future.

I personally like the temporal Cold War plot. I know it’s shoehorned in by the producers but I think it’s a cool device. I don’t like how this episode ends however with Archer being trapped in the apocalyptic 31st century because it undermines what I felt was an important moment where he surrenders to the Suliban. I don’t think the tension needed to be bigger than that.

Otherwise this is a very well paced finale for Season 1.

Deleted Scenes:

Hoshi and Mayweather witness the explosion and act fast to collect the shuttlepod with the grappler. No visual of the grappler though which is likely why it was cut. CGI takes time and money.

Also a useless scene of Malcolm detecting the different EM signature which he just says in a later scene.

Star Trek Enterprise Season 2 — Disc 1— Shockwave Part 2 - S2E1

I have to say the Suliban pods surrounding Enterprise in the opening here look like little flying meatballs.

T'Pol takes command and Trip yells at her. Its insubordinate.

Daniels is wearing a goofy future suit. He’s distressed. They’re trapped because none of the time travel equipment exists anymore.

They go to a library in the ruins.

Meanwhile in the alternate past(?) the Suliban raid the Enterprise and confiscate their evidence.

Soval and Admiral Forest argue about Archer's intentions.

Archer and Daniels at the library are trying to figure out what happened by examining the past. Two books seen on the shelves in this scene are Frank Herbert’s Dune and Gore Vidal’s Hollywood.

Daniels tells Archer how important his mission was to history and they try to rig his communicator to do what the shadow man is doing from his century.

Silik, the Suliban leader interrogates T’Pol with some kind of tube device. He’s stressed that he can’t get in contact with the shadow man.

Trip rigs the coms so I can communicate with other decks without alerting the Suliban who now control the ship.

T’Pol is all fucked up and gets a message from the future from Archer. The representation of the blinky technology is really cool. T’Pol is too out of it though after being tortured.

The enterprise crew begins crawling through the vents and conspiring to take back the ship. Hoshi collects some kind of serum from Phlox as part of T’Pol’s plan, likely dictated by Archer. Hoshi falls from the vent and appears shirtless before Malcom.

T’Pol acts injured in the corridor but is just baiting the Suliban so they can overpower them.

Malcom grabs a future communicator from Daniels’ quarters and the Silik gets hold of it. He tried to use it to contact the shadow man because Malcom told him Archer didn’t want him to have it because he was worried who he would use it to contact.

Enterprise crew fakes a warp reactor breach to bait the Suliban in towing them away from their big helix headquarters.

Silik contacts the shadow man but it turns out to be Archer who jumps through the time stream and kicks Silik “I said you’re an ugly bastard.” Haha. Then he points a gun at his head.

Archer takes Silik prisoner and hijacks a Suliban pod.

Suliban pods surround Enterprise and fire on it but then suddenly stop and break away, except for one. It's Archer.

Archer and crew report to Admiral Forest and Soval who are discussing recalling Enterprise.

Trip yells. Archer gives a speech about gazelles and humans. T’Pol backs him up by arguing with Soval.

Archer goes to T’Pol’s quarters to tell her “I think you put it over the top.”

She says “I still don’t believe in time travel.”

“I know you don’t.”

This was a good episode for tying up loose ends and moving things forward. Not a terrific story but good action.

A Night In Sickbay ???

Horny decompression chamber but this time porthos is in there too.

Porthos gets quarantined after catching some sort of pathogen when he was on the unseen away mission. His immune system starts crashing.

The planet they were away on has a race of easily offended citizens who won’t give enterprise the part it needs because porthos peed on their sacred trees.

This episode has timestamps for each scene for some reason.

Archer sleeps in sickbay to keep porthos company. Phlox cuts his yellow toenails, scrapes his long tongue, and feeds his aquatic life.

Archer is so stubborn and pissy. Constantly bickering w T’Pol. They argue on dual treadmills.

Star Trek —Mirror Images— IDW - Issues 1, 2, 4, and 5
2264

Published July-November 2008

Read October 27, 2024

Note: Issue 3 is a different story taking place in 2333 and is listed / reviewed in its respective time.

Set entirely in the mirror universe, Mirror Images tells the story of Kirk’s scheme as first officer to take the ISS Enterprise from Captain Pike.

Pike and Kirk are both manipulating events behind the scenes and no one can really be trusted.

Ultimately Kirk’s plan is to build a Tantalus field, the weapon we come to know in the TOS episode Mirror, Mirror. He completes it by secretly sourcing various parts and ultimately uses it to destroy Pike and take over the Enterprise as Captain.

The story is very light here but this comic’s strength is its art. We get a lot of panels depicting action and reactions.

I do wish we’d seen a little more of mirror Spock here who only plays a background role.

The Picard story in issue 3 taking place in 2333 has no bearing on these events but acts as a kind of intermission.

The Key Collection Volume 1

Published July 1967

Read August 3, 2025

The very first Star Trek comic ever! Published while TOS was still airing and apparently written by people who didn’t watch the show at all.

Spock is brimming with emotion and even cruelty here.

The plot revolves around some guinea pigs the Enterprise was testing getting turned into giant plant monsters because of space spores floating around outside the ship.

Kirk takes a landing party to investigate which leads to the discovery of an entire “cannibal” plant civilization (though why are they called cannibals if they eat people?).

Plenty of 60’s goofy-talk like Kirk saying “Good gosh!” and expressions like “Gallopping galaxies!”

Apparently this is Janice Rand’s only comic appearance in this series. She gets kidnapped by the plants and herded with the other organic matter to be eaten but Spock blasts around her just in time and beams everyone back.

Kirk suggests getting out of orbit asap but Spock, mad with vengeance, commits a genocide and uses the Enterpriese to destroy the entire planet.

A baffling and idiotic story but funny none the less.

The Gold Key art is actually spectacular.

The Key Collection Volume 1

Read August 4, 2025

This issue felt a little more like Star Trek than issue 1.

Kirk and a landing party are exploring signs of life in an asteroid belt on one of the asteroid planets. They encounter a race of aliens who live there with food dispensers. It turns out they are all prisoners marooned there by their home world which shoots them to different asteroids as punishment. They are given food dispensers so Kirk remarks it’s a pretty fair penal system they’ve got.

But it turns out the real punishment is that each of the prison-asteroids is doomed to explode and the inhabitants don’t know if that will happen in days or years.

Targu, the lead prisoner, is a bully and tells some backstory about landing there and establishing his dominance. He sees Kirk as his ticket home after Spock radios down to the surface that their asteroid is doomed to explode in 24hr.

This leads to a standoff hostage situation during which Kirk tells Spock to take command of the Enterprise and leave orbit rather than negotiate.

Spock agrees but slyly notes to Mr. Scott and the crew that he can easily ignore the 2nd order because it came after receiving command and is therefore his prerogative.

Another prisoner rocket lands on the surface and Targu and co prepare to raid it, but surprise - it was Spock and a landing party to ambush the prisoners and rescue Kirk.

Kirk is a little mad about being saved and then we find out that Spock basically timed this perfectly to beam them back moments before the asteroid planet explodes - killing everyone on it. Another successful genocide from Spock! Yikes.

Star Trek —Invasion Of The City Builders— Gold Key No.3
2266

The Key Collection Volume 1

Published December 1968

Read August 6, 2025

The Enterprise finds a planet with vast cities covering most of it’s surface. They go into orbit and have to travel a long ways before finding any real land and no one seems to live anywhere. The massive cities are empty.

When they finally get to the end and see land they encounter machines that are furiously building at the citie’s edge. The machines work all on their own.

The planet is referred to as Planet Questionmark in this opening part which I’ll have to interpret as a joke.

The real inhabitants reveal themselves and tell Kirk and co this is the Planet Zarta. Krill is the leader. We get a flashback to a time in this planet’s history when they basically sat back and let AI take over. They got lazy and couldn’t fix the machine’s race to progress.

Attempts to defeat the machines don't work because the machines just engineer themselves out of any peril and start repairing themselves. Spock sends off for a metal testing kit and figures out how to melt the machines but Krill is getting jealous. He acts like a complete baby and wants to take all the credit and kill the first machine. Kirk and Spock basically shrug and let him do it.

Enterprise leaves having given them the key to fix their problem but with a leader like Krill, so envious and averse to teamwork, I think they're all probably doomed.

There’s a small part in here about how Kirk speaks to them in Esperanto which is kinda silly.

At least Spock had more self control this time and didn’t destroy an entire civilization like he did in Gold Key issues 1 and 2, though I’m not sure, at the time of this reading, as to where these comics fall in the order. I’m just reading them by order of publication for now.

One interesting note from Memory Alpha regarding the solution that ends up melting the machines says: “A solution containing NH2 (ammonia) is described as an "amino acid" solution, which is incorrect. A solution containing ammonia is an amido acid.“

Spock locates a planet with a rapidly changing chemical makeup including large deposits of “tiantianium” which is mentioned here the same way dilithium is in the rest of Star Trek.

The usual landing party goes down, Spock included and they find a rapidly evolving atmosphere with mountains erupting through the ground, water bodies forming etc. during this upheaval, some of the artifacts of a long gone, civilization appear.

6 bodies of light begin to swarm at them but eventually disappear.

Spock somehow has a plan ready to go to get the ore. Kirk is a little suspicious but doesn’t question it outside of his thought bubbles.

Spock has been taken over by the beams of light who are the diluted inhabitants of the planets original civilization. They compel Spock to fire an atomic n rocket into the planets core to stabilize the atmosphere and free them.

Spock goes along with it unquestioningly while kinda brushing Kirk off who oddly shrugs at most of his behavior.

Eventually, when the rocket is fired, it’s stabilizes the planet and five beams of light exit spa and turn into their own beings.

One odd thing is that the planet has no name and no name is mentioned until the beginning of part two (these Gold Key comics come in halves) when all the sudden everyone is referring to the planet as Metamorpha for some reason.

Anyway, Spock realizes that only five beams of light have left him, and he starts hearing the voice of the one that stayed behind, a being called Textea who tell us a spot that he is going to stow away in his body for the rest of his life so that he can see other places and leave the planet. Honestly, it seems weird to me because I feel like he could’ve probably just asked enterprise to take him along and they would’ve been more than game for it.

The other light beings offer Kirk his ore, but oddly they say nothing about their missing Cap patriot.

Spock seems not to be feeling well because he’s resisting Textra from within. This goes on for a while and they send him to sick bay, but he breaks free going rogue yet again, and uses the transporter (or teleportation machine as it’s called so often here) to beam himself into “neutral” where he is able to combat Textra on some plane of nonexistence, killing him basically.

The story had some very interesting components, but ultimately felt undercooked because everybody just kind of goes along with everything. Even the artwork was a little dull compared to the previous three issues.

Star Trek — The Ghost Planet— Gold Key No.5
2266

The Key Collection Volume 1

Published September 1969

Read August 16, 2025

This one is really ridiculous. It reads like a parody of what most people think Star Trek is who have never seen it.

The usual Gold Key lingo faux pas are here.

Enterprise finds a planet surrounded by magnetic “doom rings” which has another abandoned city. This time it seems to be leading them on a little automatic tour where they go watch a little film. They meet the leaders of this planet which is called Planet Numero Uno; It’s leaders are called Justin 1 and Justin 2. They beg Enterprise to help them remove the doom rings but Enterprise discovers a room full of their old history that indicate the supreme Justins have been warring for ages and only wish to save their planet so they can continue to battle. (Oddly no other citizens are shown, maybe they all perished and I just missed that part).

There’s one good bit where some robots attack an ensign and Spock slashes water on the ground then shoots it with his phaser to zap the bots.

Anyway they take the two Justins on board (whose physicality seems to be modeled after the Talosians from the pilot episode The Case) and give them a fatherly talking to about their ages long war. They agree to stop and Enterprise uses its “electronic rifle” aka phasers to remove the magnetic doom rings.

Once they do the Justins are up to their old tricks we see they have stashed a cache of weapons (the sort of thing Enterprise would’ve scanned for but oh well). Spock pulls a fast one and asks McCoy to play a recording of the rings in the sky. Spock threatens to put them back if they Justins don’t comply so they obey.

Corny joke at the end about there being gold at the end of the rainbow. Really bad stuff but the art is still nice.

Star Trek — When Planets Collide— Gold Key No.6

Enterprise tries to save two planets from colliding as they are zooming toward one another in space - seemingly magnetized.

Both planets FP1 and FP2 (FP stands for foreign planet) appear not to have any life at first but are both revealed to have secret civilizations underground. The people of Pkanet Morti on FP1 and the Incrusts on FP2.

Kirk and crew go through the motions we’ve seen in several other Gold Key Issues here with the locals not trusting them at first, though I suppose that’s a lot of Star Trek to be fair.

All seems lost but Spock figures out they can lasso the Doona Space Particle And use it to place between the planets and repel them.

During this process Kirk asks for a barrel of coffee which I thought was funny. Also he says “spare me your Vulcan philosophy” to Spock which I thought was rude.

In the end Kirk wonders if there would be any result of the repelling and Spock waves it off as likely a minor earthquake that wouldn’t matter since both civilizations are underground. Seems odd not to want to check on that.

I also wonder why they keep missing signs of life? Are TOS era sensors that poor?

This is the first Gold Key story told in one part and it also seemed to have extra pages. Some of the panels seemed recycled from other issues.

Star Trek — The Voodoo Planet — Gold Key No.7
2266

The Key Collection Volume 1

Published March 1970

Read August 29, 2025

Enterprise finds a planet with its own Eiffel Tower but this one is made of paper machete. They beam down and find things deserted (a common theme in these Gold Key comics), but then a laser beam blasts the paper machete tower and Sulu (first appearance in Gold Key here I think) gets word that the real Eifel on earth suffered the same consequence at the exact same time.

Unfortunately the reason for this is very dumb.

An escaped earth criminal, known as Count Dressler, has landed on this random planet and made himself leader of its simple natives, while using their “voodoo” powers to create destruction on earth. He was apparently wanted for trying to create hydrogen bombs at a time of peace, making him a sort of bargain version of Khan Noonien Singh, minus the cryogenics.

Dressler drinks a kind of voodoo juice and says an incantation then lays waste to Egypt’s Sphinx and Rome’s coliseum and the leaning tower of Pisa. He’s a very cliche and boring villain.

This comic also says dumb shit like “space radio”.

Spock synthesizes a potion of his own and describes an ancient Vulcan practice known as “Pain Casting”. I thought this was silly at first but really it’s not too different from Vulcan katras and mind melds. They employ this to scoop up Dressler and then crack jokes about putting him in “space jail”.

Pretty bad stuff.

Star Trek — The Youth Trap — Gold Key No.8
2267

The Key Collection Volume 1

Published September 1970

Read September 6, 2025

Once again a barren planet with ore. (Why are they always chasing “ore” in these Gold Key comics? Did the authors think that was the purpose of their five year mission?)

Once again - a bad baldie stranded on the barren world.

New this time is - The Youth Trap is the first Gold Key issue so far not to have the word Planet in the title. Also Scotty is represented here as a blonde man.

Enterprise sends some ensign red shirts down to look at the ore and a laserbeam on a tripod turns them into children.

Kirk, Spock and a landing party investigate. They find two battling baldies fighting in the distance by the tripod ray gun thing. One of them is Laiko, who turns out to be a good guy but he and his crew have been stranded on this planet with Kooba - who we learn from a flashback was using the baby beam on their home planet to dish out punishments and literally infantilize all who would oppose him.

A pretty dull battle ensues where Kooba transports to the Enterprise and broadcasts his youth gun’s signal over a television to the whole Enterprise crew which he simply commands them to watch.

Kirk eventually reflects the beam back on him and with the help of Laiko, returns everyone to their normal age.

Star Trek — The Legacy Of Lazarus — Gold Key No.9
2264

The Key Collection Volume 2

Published February 1971

Read September 10, 2025

This is a really strange issue.

The crew goes to planet Gamma Alpha V and finds a little town full of earth’s most famous people. Washington, Lincoln, Napoleon, Henry VIII, and comically none other than 45th President Of The United States “Anton York”.

McCoy suggests they are in heaven but then Kirk points out Hitler hanging out nearby.

They find a panel in the ground and Spock goes exploring but gets immediately held prisoner by a former earth historian Alexander Lazarus who Spock insults by calling him someone of “minor repute”.

Immediately this is similar to The Voodoo Planet and other Gold Key issues which have been pretty creatively lacking.

Lazarus goes on a villain monologue about accidentally somehow giving his faceless clone robots the memories of earth’s most famous historical figures by accidentally giving birth to a Ben Franklin robot.

Spock busts free, kicks his ass, and just as the celeb-bots start attacking the crew on the surface (Kirk debates shooting Lincoln - who he will meet later in TOS episode The Savage Curtain).

Everyone transports back to the Enterprise but Spock tries to save the clone data up until the last minute.

This was an extremely dumb issue but then it ends with this profound quote from Kirk about why it’s better Spock didn’t collect the data: “Our heritage is our inspiration Bones - to reach for things beyond what we can already touch - to dream a greater dream and mold it into a reality! Without the thinkers, the planners, the leaders, the doers - without our history to catch us when we fall and set us on our feet again… what has man got left?”

One more puzzling thing about this issue - Star Trek Reading Order as well as Memory Alpha and Beta place it in 2264. I expected to catch something that would make that obvious but never did. I’m at a loss for why this issue somehow pre-dates issues 1-8.

Read September 23, 2025

The Enterprise is held in the grip of a giant and all the sudden Kirk, Blonde Scotty, Bones and Spock are magically whisked away to a mysterious planet where another bald-baddie is waiting for them.

This time the villain is a wizard named Chang, not to be confused with the Klingon Chang from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, this Chang is drawn as a white actor playing a chinese stereotype which is pretty absurd.

He wants Kirk and crew to go get him the magic titular Sceptre Of The Sun which they go after with Marla, their guest.

On the way, they are attacked by the local primitives lead by a bearded fellow named Brand. Brand explains to them he and the other natives are in fact earthlings who left earth in 1997 to flee the Eugenics Wars (which we know are Khan’s doing from the TOS episode Space Seed).

They find a big robot guarding the sceptre but Spock tears his wires out.

The magic is revealed as a sham and Sulu basically blasts this guy and his castle all to hell leaving Brand and co to live in peace on their new planet.

Star Trek — The Brain Shockers — Gold Key No.11
2264

The Key Collection Volume 2

Published August 1971

Read October 6, 2025

Two things I would love to see addressed within or in reference to the Gold Key Comics: 1) Scotty’s blonde hair and 2) Spock’s cruelty. Surely both are manifestations of an otherworldly spell?

The Brain Shockers is still a little goofy but is, so far, the most interesting plot in all the Gold Key issues. We even get a little Vulcan lore exploration.

Bones is getting on Kirk’s case about the crew needing shore leave and rest. Kirk kinda hands it back to him.

We meet Yeoman Pandora Trask, though she introduces herself to Kirk as “Dorrie”.

Dorrie accidentally opens a door with a do not enter sign and unleashes a bunch of terrible monsters. Soon there is chaos on the Enterprise.

Kirk and Spock admit to Bones that they had been carrying a secret cargo behind that door (so why was it so poorly protected?!). In the history of planet Vulcan, before the time of Surak, Vulcans had tried to purge their emotions chemically. This didn’t work but to honor the old ones, they kept the emotions quite literally “bottled up”. The Enterprise’s secret mission was to transport them to Beta IV for a memorial. But the bottles broke and the emotions got loose during an attack.

Kirk, Spock, Scotty and more make a landing party to see who is attacking. Everyone starts acting crazy with Kirk and Bones getting in a fist fight.

Spock finds a bug-eyed weirdo named Malok. He is immortal and has been in this “plastoid” bubble for 5000 years. He attacked Enterprise so he could use the crew like little action figures and play out his fantasies because he was bored.

Spock messes with his electronics and basically forces Malok to an eternity of drastically shifting unstable Vulcan emotions from the past.

When McCoy later, and I’d say compassionately, asks ‘what about the memorial on Beta IV?’ Spock is very rude and says that having the emotions live on in this way honors them. I personally think using them to torment some poor deranged immortal bug eyed creature is not what Surak would’ve wanted. Live Long And Punish, I guess.

This issue also has some tremendous art, especially a whole page devoted to Spock fighting off flames in his mind to undo Malok’s spell.

The Key Collection Volume 2

Published November 1971

Read October 9, 2025

The plot here is very thin. A Starfleet Admiral contacts Kirk and orders him to follow a space Pirate to seize dilithium crystals because apparently all of starfleet is low and a lack of it will render their ships useless.

Its interesting they are now using the canonical dilithium here and not “space gas” or “ore” or the other things they’ve say so far in these Gold Key comics.

Scotty is no longer blonde!!!

Kirk, Bones, Scotty and some others (Spock has the bridge) follow the space pirate Black Jack Nova and present him with half a map (BJN has the other half). They are undercover as pirates themselves. Oddly they’re all wearing old pirate clothes and everyone speaks in old pirate language - but they fly around in spaceships.

Nothing that happens here really matters except that when some pirate lowlife overhears them talking about Starfleet, Kirk decides, rather than dispatch this guy, his only plan is to prove his loyalty but jettisoning Spock and Scotty into space to kill them. Black Jack Nova gives them space helmets as a way of torturing them so they will wonder when their death arrives.

Spock saves them of course but the crazy thing is - this wasn’t Kirk’s plan at all. He literally sacrificed his top crew members over nothing.

In the end Kirk disables BJN’s ship and kills him in a horrible needless explosion which has great artwork and the text: “And so it ends, by fire and sword. Sky and earth meet with a rending roar of torn metal, and in the resulting explosion, the live of a man whose existence thrived on death, ENDS!”

Almost too good for the likes of this comic!

The Key Collection Volume 2

Published February 1972

Read October 13, 2025

“What is the aftermath of Utopia? What happens to heaven when it descends into the darkest pits of hell?”

Apart from this opening, very lazy writing on display with the usual nice art work.

The Dark Traveller of this story’s namesake just appears on the bridge in the same manner as Q or other such magical beings. He uses an unseen power to take control of the ship and increase its shields while diverting it to the chosen course of his home planet which he refers to as paradise.

Kirk and co refer to him as Nomad (a little irritating since there’s already a Star Trek character with that name). Nomad wears a hood and resembles Spock’s look from TOS episode Return Of The Archons.

The crew kinda shrugs off this invasion after Nomad lets them go and tells them how to get back on course but instead the crew want to see Nomad’s “paradise” so a landing party joins him.

Of course it’s not a paradise. It’s a ravaged world in ruins! What else?

Once a utopia, robots have taken over and now everything is in shambles. A fleeing citizen is attacked by a robot and uses his dying breaths to identify the culprit as Niklon, Nomad’s brother.

Niklon is another little bald guy who apparently wrecked his own world because he’s a weird little guy and was jealous of everyone else.

Kirk and friends get kidnapped but escape and with Nomad and the help of the rest of the prisoners, defeat the pathetic Niklon. Nomad uses a giant R2D2-looking robot to attack but Nobad uses his powerful staff to melt it down.

Bones makes a little joke about Spock being robotic. Ho ho.

I guess I don’t get why Nomad needed the enterprise if he was so powerful?

A landing party is looking for "valuable ore” on Beta II. Its funny that the Gold Key comics make their mission into - looking for ore - rather than space exploration. Instead of ore they find a giant “Beastasaur” which attacks Kirk and separates him from his crew.

Spock and Bones find him with a head injury and take him back to the ship where he refuses further treatment after an urgent message from Starfleet orders the enterprise to pick up an Ambassador from the Omega System.

Against Bones orders, Kirk agrees and picks up the ambassador to take him to his homeworld so the Omegans don’t get tempted to join the Klingons over the federation.

The bald ambassador (as bald as all the recent Gold Key villains, hmm) is kind of snooty and rude. Kirk begins acting bossy and then downright evil in pursuit of the Omegan homeworld. Eventually he starts firing his phaser at everyone and going crazy. Kirk eventually escapes in a shuttlepod leaving Spock to play detective.

Spock just kinda figures it out and goes back to Beta II where we discover the Klingons have made a duplicate Kirk and had the real Kirk prisoner the whole time.

So the baldie wasn’t the bad guy this time but… the Klingons here are all depicted to look identical to him instead of their usual chinese warrior look from the original series, so due to mistake or not, bald guy still equals bad guy in the Gold Key comics.

The Enterprise is in hot pursuit of a hostile Klingon vessel with cloaking technology but gets caught up in a “cosmic storm”. It threatens to tear their ship apart but Scotty performs his usual miracles.

They are hailed by a little white haired trickster guy wearing purple. I worried this would be some kind of magic Q-like bad guy but was proven wrong.

They arrive at a castle on a clump of dirt that turns out to be a museum of sorts, run by the white haired trickster who is its curator.

The curator informs Kirk and some crew (the rest of the crew are still on the nearby Enterprise) that they are in “Limbo” aka the Niether-world which once existed on “Krugar III” which was destroyed but the chunk of planet on which the museum existed broke off and fell into space, somehow finding its way to Limbo.

A collective of random lost explorers all live here having vanished at different times in history along with various antiques and artifacts. This is a pretty cool idea. The curator has a weird dog/tiger named Hilliard who looks like something out of one of the later Oz books. Two of the lost explorers are named Sprang and J’Karl (great names).

Greetings are quickly interrupted by the hostile Klingons who have now arrived in Limbo. A fight breaks out and lasts a long time until they decide to work together to escape because Spock learns that Limbo is dying and will momentarily explode.

Everybody agrees to work together and escape except for the curator and his lost explorers who decide the new world isn’t their world and they are content to die in Limbo.

This was a surprisingly good story and the artwork was maybe the best so far.

Read October 20, 2025

The plot here is rather flimsy but the artwork only gets better and this is the first one that really followed the pace and concepts of a real Star Trek episode, albeit a very common/repetitive one.

Kirk, Spock, Bones, Chekov and a blonde (who I assumed was Nurse Chapel but was in fact “Claire”) are on a shuttlecraft that, wouldn’t you know it, gets caught up in some kind of space storm and marooned on a random planet following their successful diplomatic mission on Tarsus IV (hey we’re naming real Star Trek planets now and not just making shit up all the time!).

Spock pulls off a daring landing and they immediately see a road once they go exploring. They see cloaked figures and guards and immediately Kirk just decides they’re bad guys and starts attacking which is very un-Starfleet of him.

They save some poor wretch (a baldie who turns out not to be a bad guy; progress for Gold Key comics) who thanks them and gives the necessary exposition that they’re basically on a planet still in the dark ages and the three “Inquisitors” rule over all and accuse everyone of being affiliated with “the dark one”.

Spock and some crew storm the castle but get beat fast. Spock is tortured but does ok.

Kirk and some more go with the baldie to gather the rebels and storm the castle with support.

Obviously Kirk and company win and hand things over to Karad and Corben (aforementioned baldie) and just wash their hands of the whole thing.

We also see Kirk and Spock cruising around like teenagers in a 50s movie.

Bones and Spock take turns teasing Scotty in this one.

The plot is really basic. The landing party finds primitives and gets reckless with the prime directive. These natives worship Spock inexplicably but Spock figures out his communicator malfunctioned once on a primitive planet (it’s not clear if he means the same one) and it lead to the primitive’s psychic sexy female leader determining he was divine.

When a warring tribe attacks Spock uses this as an opportunity to project a hologram of himself onto the planet and pretend to be the God they believed in - but he says: “No! Build no idols to me! The spirit of the universe is everywhere - - in every form! And your finest worship lies in the deeds of your lives!” A very atheistic and Roddenberry-esque quote which is also very Vulcan.

There's a side joke here about Scotty being smitten with the leader lady.

The Key Collection Volume 3

Published May 1973

Read October 25, 2025

In spite of a goofy opening panel with an emotional Spock, this story starts out intriguing with a prologue about the Federation Supreme Council creating something called “Project Atlas” as a means of recording the cellular contents of a dying planet and its people before its sun goes supernova and destroys it. That means creating a living recording of all living and inanimate matter on the entire planet. Planet Spyra in this case, and of course the mission is given to Enterprise.

Scotty is playing zap-ball with a female crewman and flirting while Spock interrupts with a reprimand because the emergency Project Atlas mission is being discussed.

As they head out on their mission a small shuttle crosses their path. Spock enters and finds a passed out girl named Allura. Her and Spock get cozy on the Enterprise and she tells him about her old showbiz partner who she was running away from because he was always pulling scams.

But she pulls a scam on Spock when a mystery ship arrives and Allura makes off with the entire archive of planet Spyra. Spock had actually suspected this all along and set a trap but Allura, or her accomplice Anzar (the showbiz guy), had blown through the doors and freed her leaving everyone pretty pissed at Spock.

Anzar holds Spyra ransom and Kirk and Sppck go to negotiate, or stall rather. Turns out Allura is Anzar’s sister.

After some squabbling Spock admits to Anzar they aren’t gonna pay the ransom but says he can basically manifest Spyra’s billionaires to blackmail them and get twice as much. But instead Spock manifests Kirk and a dog that was recorded earlier as an example and Anzar gets taken into custody. Spock has a little moment with Allura and Kirk jokes about eating the dog.

All in all it was a bit of a waste of a good premise.

The art in this one resembles the Animated Series more than any of the other Gold Key comics.

Enterprise is sent on a mission to deter ghost stories about the titular supposedly haunted asteroid Mila Xa.

It was said to be the memorial tomb of Emperor Muro III’s bride Saeena.

They are joined by Dr. Krisp, a woman. Kirk is pretty rude to her, calling her a "bureaucratic lady scientist”.

They arrive on the planet and find some scary spectres, noxious gasses, and a big pile of bones that Dr. Krisp reasons are centuries old.

After a fight with some robots they find an elevator to a lower part of the asteroid where Saenna herself, now ancient (and looking it) rules from a throne next to her long dead husband’s tomb.

She explains that all the bones they found were people who died of natural causes but were imprisoned (comfortably there by her over the centuries. She couldn’t allow them to escape for fear they would tell the secret that she was still alive.

The Enterprise crew are meant to share that fate but they fight back and burn the entire planet down until it explodes. Dr. Krisp becomes hysterical and Kirk has to punch her in the face!

They watch the planet burn and Scotty cracks jokes about Kirk flirting with Krisp. Kirk gives them cleaning duties and Bones says “You and your big Scottish mouth.”

There are great ideas here but it winds up pretty poorly done.

The artwork looks noticeably different. Lighter colors. The text looks more like handwriting as well.

Pretty bad. A lot of the panels look recycled from other issues. The new lighter style of coloring looks like the new norm.

The Enterprise breaks the prime directive severely by interfering in the politics of Planet Nukolee on a mission to protest the bratty Prince Raviki. It turns out he is the subject of an assassination plot by the Regent General Vlas. This is all very boring stuff.

Nukolee is basically an earth-like planet from Victorian times only they have television and othe modern conveniences.

Turns out everyone is plotting against the prince and committing violent acts because of a noxious gas in the atmosphere.

Kirk tries to assist the prince on planet, while Bones and Scotty try to literally vacuum the gas out of space. Bones goes a little crazy but Scotty gets him in line and cures the planet by spraying it down with an antidote.

Like I said, pretty bad stuff.

I loved this. The art is terrific and the story is really inspired.

The mirror universe Khan is a benevolent good hearted philosopher who awakes in 2267 to a nightmare of the mirror universe’s future and its rulers The Terran Empire.

Khan leads an army of defectors against the Empire with Spock at his side. Eventually Kirk joins him and becomes Khan’s protege working toward the revelation of Khan’s secret weapon the “Satori Project”.

I love the way this story mirrors the relationship between Kirk and Khan by showing Khan as relentless in his pursuit here, not of vengeance or power, but redemption and hope as he strives for a better world and tries to reach Kirk even though Spock believes he can’t be trusted.

In the end, things go badly because, this is the mirror universe after all. This was a story that defines it’s characters through contrast with their prime counterparts and does so in a poignant and exciting way.

Star Trek —Khan— Podcast / Audio Drama - Episode 1 - Paradise - 2267 (directly after TOS: Space Seed and Short Story: The Way To Exile) - (+2293 framing device)

Published September 8, 2025

Listened September 8, 2025

Khan is the dead horse Star Trek refuses to stop beating, and it’s no wonder - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan is Star Trek’s shining moment as well as its most reasonable access point for casual viewers outside the Trekkie.fandom.

The problem is, every nod, follow up, or homage usually falls short of that film’s greatest strength - its boldness.

I don’t need to elaborate on how 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness failed spectacularly in this regard.

Star Trek Picard’s goofy easter egg showing a folder for a “Project Khan” was worthy of groans. Strange New World’s episode Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow portrays an idea that I disagree with but accept by portraying time travellers as having tried to interfere with Khan’s rise but that “time itself” fights back. This is a magical notion that, to me, seems at odds with Star Trek’s central ideas. It also plays like Paramount trying to weakly find ways to do new things with their classic IP while getting away with it canonically. This is timey-wimey Doctor Who type shenanigans in my opinion and not science fiction which would find a more elegant solution to such a narrative difference.

The books and comics have gone a bit differently. I am presently re-reading The Rise And Fall Of Khan Noonien Singh Vol 1 and 2 as well as the follow up To Reign In Hell by Greg Cox. The first two books span Khan’s birth leading to his time in the Eugenics Wars and inevitable exile. To Reign In Hell covers the same period of time this new audio drama series does and tells a tremendous story about Khan’s time on Ceti Alpha V bridging the events of TOS episode Space Seed and Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.

There is a comic called Ruling In Hell which, though not based on Cox’s book, more or less retells it.

I was a little confused that they didn’t just adapt Cox’s book but I was assured by the involvement of Star Trek author David Mack and TWOK director Nicholad Meyer.

The casting of Naveen Andrews is a terrific and inspired choice as is the framing device of Sulu and, then ensign, Tuvok in 2293, on a fact finding mission set three months after Captain Kirk’s “death” (which we know to be his disappearance into the Nexus in Star Trek Generations).

The framing device’s plot of seeking out Marla McGiver’s logs on Ceti Alpha V is a bit flimsy but I don’t mind because I get to hear Tim Russ and George Tekei reprise their roles which brings a smile to my face.

Naveen Andrews’ Khan is different. More of a strong handed but misguided leader than the tyrant we know, and that’s not a bad thing. It calls to mind the one shot comic Hell’s Mirror in which the mirror universe Khan is more of a benevolent Malcom X figure seeking change in a harsh world, though it’s clear the aim here isn’t anything so transformative.

We are introduced to Khan’s new society and all the struggle and sacrifice that comes with starting a new life in a new world. Marla is portrayed differently here too thankfully. She’s a little more unsure of her dramatic choice to join Khan and his companions, so much that she smuggled a communicator.

A dissenting voice among Khan’s followers is killed. A new world is beginning that looks a lot like the old one.

I do have to be a little critical of the audio production itself which has some awkward mixing and editing laid bare. The announcer sounds pretty goofy and some of the actors in smaller roles have very stiff line reading.

It’s not perfect but this series is off to a good start. Khan is Star Trek’s dead horse but it is now a mythological horse with stories that bind together and repel from one another.

I look forward to the next 8 episodes.

No Tuvok or Sulu this time. Just enough of the framing device in 2293 to get us back into the story.

The announcer guy at the start and end sounds like a movie trailer parody. He also mentions a theme song in the credits but we haven’t heard it yet.

Mostly a character building episode and a short one at 33min.

Khan discovered Marla using a communicator last episode so they spend a lot of this one trying to… communicate better.

Ivan the Russian bully character is a little annoying but I think he’s meant to be.

They hunt some creatures for food and discover some bugs that attack them.

Khan is a lot more patient and understanding than the one we know but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. We’re seeing him with a second chance at life and before things all go wrong. I don’t think the Khan of Space Seed or of ST2 would really work in a story life this.

Already we have more diversions from the previous stories set on Ceti Alpha V at this time but that doesn’t bother me since it’s a story that is fairly closed off from other teen and lends itself to the variety of myth.

Naveen Andrews is still great but a lot of the other cast are somewhere between high school theater and reading in front of the class for the first time. Hoping that gets better but I fear it’s down to casting.

One of Khan’s crew are under the suggestion of a Ceti eel but since no one is aware he just seems to be suffering some kind of psychological breakdown doing whatever hes told even to his own detriment, causing him to break his leg and be extremely confused.

Khan saves his life but vows vengeance against the very planet itself.

A fantastic performance again from Naveen Andrews who is so perfect in this role. It is a shame we can’t see him play it in live action.

Khan’s followers continue with genetic procreation experiments and begin to notice the deterioration of Ceti Alpha VI but don’t seem sufficiently worried.

One massive drawback to this episode was that it was riddled with ads at the beginning, middle and end. I was so annoyed and it took me out of the story.

No ad at the start so that’s good.

The announcer is still doing the most dramatic silly voice.

I feel like they’re kinda moving too fast for me to really get to know any characters.

Khan buries bodies and Marla discovers the Ceti Eel.

Marla tries to explain the usefulness of grief to Khan in a very poignant scene

I wish this were longer and lingered more on characters so we could get to know them including the framing device scenes. Hopefully they will do a second series.

I do like that the framing device takes time to poke holes n Wrath of Khan and then work to patch those holes.

Marla is pregnant.

They discover the Ceti eels have a queen and go after her. Marla uses this opportunity to use a phaser she has tried to conceal from Khan.

Khan proposes and marries Marla.

This was kind of a weird episode.

As Ceti Alpha VI threatens to break apart and destroy their planet, Khan and his followers try to make a plan for surviving underground which means finding caves and a water source,

But an alien race crash lands on Ceti Alpha V and though Marla explains they may be peaceful, Khan wages war.

This war is short lived when the _______ species turn out to be telepaths who use their power to lead Khan to a peaceful solution.

Meanwhile in the future framing device ______ squares off against Captain Sulu about Kirk’s motives.

I find myself wishing these were longer to build the characters more and take advantage of the audio format. Maybe they presume young listeners won’t stay tuned?

I also still find a lot of the line readings to be flat.

Star Trek — Mirror, Mirror: Fragile Glass— Marvel Comic One-Shot
2267 (directly after TOS: Mirror, Mirror)

Published February 1997

Read October 12, 2024

Spoiler at the end of this review.

This Marvel One-Shot directly follows the events of TOS episode Mirror, Mirror and the fall out of what happens for Mirror Spock in his universe. We never return to the prime universe in this story which I appreciate.

The story is action packed and fun. We get the mirror bridge crew all scheming against one another and drawn to look sexy and evil. Lots of double crossing and seduction.

I did find it odd that they said “Starfleet” a few times and not the Terran Empire, but maybe there’s still a Starfleet in the mirror universe?

I also thought it odd that the Klingon officer made a comparison to wolves and sheep and not Targs or some Klingon animal.

Author Tom DeFalco and artist Mark Bagley have nice notes to the fans in the back of this issue.

Also it is worth remarking that the paper and binding of this issue is excellent. My copy is in great condition and it felt like I was holding something substantial which you don’t feel so much with new comics.

Star Trek — Passage To Moauv— Audio Drama
2269
Listened December 1, 2024

The first of 11 audio drama 45rpm stories made by Peter Pan Records. Some, like this one, came with companion comics.

There is some conflicting information about the stardate but, due to the silly and short form nature of this story I’ve placed it directly after TAS Season 1 in 2269.

This is a wildly goofy story about the Enterprise away team ferrying the pet cat like creature waul Ewass to a diplomat on Moav.

The comic looks quite good and resembles some of the Marvel Star Trek comics from the 80s. But for some reason they have made Sulu African American and Uhura a white blonde lady; a bafflingly stupid mistake.

Lieutenant M’Ress from TAS is depicted here looking blue and not catlike at all which is odd since her feline heritage is a part of the plot.

There is a reference to a federation law that is mentioned in The Trouble With Tribbles and Spock briefly mentions his pet Selat I-Chaya (from TOS Yesteryear).

We hear zero identifiable Star Trek music or sounds and the voices are clearly those of imitators, though I give credit to whoever voiced Bones for really trying.

The plot just involves the cat creature sending signals to the crew that make them start to growl and become more catlike themselves. They have to catch the Waul and contain it to stop the symptoms but they only grow stronger the closer they are.

The inconsistently blue Lt. M’Ress is able to save the day and Kirk has a testy exchange with the Moav diplomat who he suspects did this as some kind of a test. The diplomat informs Kirk that the Waul is pregnant as a sort of “uh oh” scooby doo ending.

Star Trek — Captain Sulu Adventures — Envoy — Audio Drama
2291
Listened November 19, 2023

The 3rd and final (though 2nd by order of stardate) in the Sulu Adventures audio drama series is oddly very interesting and disappointing all at once.

Again we have a story told mainly through logs and though Sulu is more present here than in the other two, it hardly feels less like an adventure and more like a court testimony.

The plot concerns Sulu being summoned as the envoy for a peace treaty between the Krikiki and the Den-Kai. But he’s horrified to find out that the peace that will end 30 years of war is only being brokered by way of a prince being traded into slavery, and who has had his vocal cords cut.

The languages and their sounds are the main draw here. Rather than the convenient translator device just solving all the alien languages, we actually hear the real languages both on their own and underneath the translation to english the way one would on a news broadcast.

Amazingly these alien languages are composed and performed by none other than avant garde vocalist Meredith Monk! I wish Star Trek would make some more interesting creative choices like that. And I wish they’d made this one for a better audio drama.

Star Trek — Captain Sulu Adventures —Cacophony — Audio Drama
2291
Listened November 12, 2023

Cacophony is the 2nd of three Sulu Adventures Audio Dramas, but the first in order of stardate.

Cacophony and Envoy both take place in 2291, whereas Transformations takes place in 2294 (with a framing device set in 2314), even though it was the first released in the series.

Like Transformations though, Cacophony doesn’t feel much like a Sulu Adventure since it’s told primarily through old logs.

The concept here was really interesting though, dealing with a non-federation race half of whose population can hear 20th century earth communications and create a sort of religion based on these transmissions believing them to be voices from the Gods.

There is a sort of cult figure here who speaks like a radio DJ.

One of the best parts of this is the use of actual sound clips from things like advertisements, tv shows, news broadcasts etc. I think they play some of Casablanca and a bit of Richard Nixon.

I enjoyed this a lot but regret that it wasn’t built into something more substantial.

I think listeners who see the cover and read the description are going to expect to see Captain Sulu at the helm of the Excelsior having his own Trek, but they will be let down.

Star Trek — Captain Sulu Adventures — Transformations — Audio Drama
2314 (framing device) — (flashbacks to 2294)
Watched November 10, 2023

This is the first of three Captain Sulu Adventures made as audio dramas only (audiobooks not based on existing novels).

Transformations is the first of the three but oddly, it’s framing device takes place after the other two so for that reason I’ve placed it further ahead in the timeline.

The framing device is mostly Sulu’s logs about going to visit his old science officer from The Excelsior in 2314 (several years after Star Trek VI) and the rest of it is the logs of that science officer Commander Flynn Konner and an archeologist Dr. Constance Allenwood (a grouchy grandma type) who is researching the Shalakai species which are supposedly immortal.

It’s all pretty disappointing for a number of reasons. The plot is weak and plays like a bad Season 1 TNG episode. This is meant to be “Captain Sulu’s Adventure” but he isn’t doing very much here. Also for an audio drama, the first of it’s kind in Star Trek, neither the audio nor the drama stand out as very exceptional. Some of it sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom.

Most of the story is told in logs and nothing very much happens.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Novelization Audiobook by Gene Roddenberry
2273
Published December 1979

Listened August, 2023

This concerns the audiobook which I listened to because I started it out of curiosity and finished it out of perceived duty.

Based on early but not initial drafts of the script, this doesn’t make for a thrilling novel exactly nor a hugely insightful angle on the classic film, but it does have three very unique things that set it apart.

The most important factor is it’s author being none other than the self-proclaimed Great Bird Of The Galaxy himself, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.

Another factor is Roddenberry’s peculiar insistence on sexual imagery, most notably Sulu stumbling over his own erection after taking in the powerful pheromones of his Deltan colleague.

But perhaps most interesting of the things that stand out in this novelization, is the entire chapter devoted to the point of view of V’ger, the alien being threatening earth in search of it’s creator. The tone and approach of this chapter is, as Spock would say, “fascinating”.

Veteran Star Trek audiobook narrator Robert Petkoff does a good job here but hasn’t quite found his Spock yet.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture Echoes — Comic - written by Marc Guggenheim
2273
Published May-December 2023

Read October 7-9 2024

This is a fun adventure and a compelling mirror universe story. This all seems to be set at least several weeks or months after the events of Star Trek TMP as evidenced by Kirk’s superior berating him for leaving his post behind at Starfleet Command.

The cover-art for each issue, along with its variants, are all extremely beautiful depictions of the Star Trek TMP era bridge crew.

Unfortunately the art of the comic itself leaves much to be desired. Kirk is drawn like he’s a completely different guy, and sometimes not even the same guy. Chekov somehow looks like Tig Notaro for some reason.

As nice as it is to get a post-TMP Enterprise mission, I have to wonder why they chose not to showcase the distinct look and design of that film here. In this way, the cover art makes a promise the comics themselves do not fulfill.

The humor and camaraderie among the crew is corny at times but usually pretty funny and representative of the characters we know. There’s a particularly funny exchange between Spock and Bones about the old idiom about what it means to “assume”.

Uhura seems to show an uncharacteristic lack of confidence in Kirk while they are on the Romulan ship. There’s definitely parts of this that feel like generic sci-fi adventure character banter but there’s enough good Trek here to make it a satisfying read. I feel like it deserves a follow up that properly explores this era and what makes it unique. There were so many different uniforms in TMP alone that it’s a shame we don’t see anything comparable depicted here. This all begs the question, why set this story in the TMP era if there was no intention of exploiting it? I would have loved to see a story about the fallout from Decker and Ilia’s disappearance, or even just a cameo from the sullen big forehead guy that was a Decker loyalist in TMP.

I do want to make sure to compliment the scene transitions which use relevant dialogue from one scene to carry into the net. I thought that was very clever.

This story had much more in common with Wrath of Khan than TMP, which it makes a sort of corny salute to in the end, betraying it’s source material in doing so.

I enjoyed reading this but IDW’s recent comics have issues with their art and the execution here was far from perfect.

Star Trek —Mirror Images— IDW - Issue 3

Note: Issue 3 is a different story taking place in 2333. Issues 1, 2, 4, and 5 take place in 2264 and are listed / reviewed in their respective time.

A young mirror universe Lieutenant Picard is navigator of the ISS Starbreaker (mirror version of the Stargazer!) and takes command from Captain Jack Crusher during a chaotic battle with the Klingon-Cardassian alliance.

Interestingly Picard is depicted here as a young Tom Hardy as in Star Trek Nemesis.

This is mostly an action story taking place in the heat of battle on the bridge, with young Picard leading a mutiny and breaking not just with his captain but with the Terran Empire as well, citing it as being too weak.

I liked this but would’ve liked it to have been a little longer. The art is great and consistent with the other issues of Mirror Images.

Terrific art. Terrific story. So far so good.

The first pages introduce our cast of redshirt Starfleet security officers.

The plot involves one officer named Cromarty who is seen as an aberration for living past 30. He’s been babysitting a weather antenna on Arkonia 89.

A squad of redshirts are gathered for a mission to lure out a spy and are all covertly fired down to the planet in empty torpedo tubes.

In the last panel the spy reveals himself as a Romulan commander, well aware of the trap with no intention of getting caught.

The characters are well defined. The story is good. The redshirts thing never feels like too much of a joke (it is in fact a very tired joke to most Trek fans so this was a relief).

I love that we get a TOS era story that is very much it’s one thing, Leonard McCoy is mentioned and we briefly see Matt Decker but those felt more like useful anchors to the time period and not like corny Easter eggs.

The cover art is especially good. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series!

Section 31 (movie)
2324 ???

MU (partially)

Released January 24, 2025

Watched January 24, 2025

The Section 31 movie is the worst entry in Star Trek I have ever seen. Worse than Spock’s Brain or The Way To Eden, and though not offensive like Code Of Honor, it’s longer so more painful to endure.

We start with a weak and far too brief backstory for Emperor Georgiou and jump immediately into a team building scenario with a group of goofy unlikable characters whose forced camaraderie and sarcastic quips would irritate even the most brain-rotten Marvel fans.

No character receives any real backstory, just a lot of bitchy jokes and remarks.

Georgiou gets a lot of forced “diva” moments. Are we meant to forget that this character is a genocidal maniac in search of redemption? There is a thin layer for that arch but blink and you will miss it.

Our rag tag crew spends most of the film stranded on a boring planet trying to get a garbage barge working. The “twist”, if you can call it that, can be seen a mile away; the very moment it is teased to us in fact.

The score sounds like the music you would find paired with an ad for a mobile game. I was shocked it was by regular Trek composer Jeff Russo.

This movie’s greatest sin (other than wasting Michelle Yeoh and ignoring the very important implications of Section 31) lay in its editing which appears to be a mock-handheld style created with AI. The fake zooms incessantly pushing forward in every shot are so similar and constant they almost made me feel nauseous.

I get the feeling they wanted something like Guardians Of The Galaxy from this but it plays more like CSI: Miami in space.

The ending plays like a cheap backdoor pilot for a new series no one wants and the cameo in the end felt abusive, both to the actor and to me.

Chaos On The Bridge - Directed by William Shatner
Released 2014

Watched November 1, 2024

Part of “The Captains Collection” from Shout Factory. This 5 Disc exclusive edition comes with a bonus disc of interviews and William Shatner’s Gonzo Ballet and can be purchased in a bundle with Shatner’s terrific album “Has Been” on colored splatter vinyl (which I did indeed purchase.)

A detailed history of the messy road to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Really well done for the most part. The audio in the interviews is a little crappy. The animation is cheap but actually really helps tell the story very effectively.

The corny stock music is a little annoying.

A lot of history and information is packed into this 1hr documentary.

It would be easy to assume there was a clear path to the making of TNG but this illustrates just how chaotic and unsteady that path was. Shatner does a good job of hosting, narrating and interviewing.

The only extra on this disc is a trailer.

Disc 5 of The Captains Collection comes with the following exclusive extras:

Patrick Stewart from Chaos On The Bridge - 18m13s

This extended interview gives more context for Stewart’s blow up about GMA visiting the set of TNG.

At one point his cell phone rings.

A great extended interview including insights into episodes about the Borg and the Binar.

He also talks more about his history as a writer. Really excellent.

Ira Steven Behr from Chaos On The Bridge - 12m53s

Ira talks about Roddenberry’s reputation for being somewhat of a tyrant particularly to do with his story for the episode Captain’s Holiday.

Snodgrass talks about her time writing for TNG and her script for Measure Of A Man. She also discusses Roddenberry’s interference.

She also makes a point to criticize Rick Berman for keeping the writers isolated from the show’s other production elements as well as directives to not give characters too much personality, specifically Wesley Crusher.

Most of this interview wasn’t shown in the film.

Jeffrey Katzenberg from Chaos On The Bridge - 14m24s

Katzenberg talks about the initial series (Star Trek Phase II) that eventually turned into Star Trek The Motion Picture as well as the joys and difficulties of working with Genevieve Roddenberry.

Les Moonves from Chaos On The Bridge - 9m9s

Les doesn’t really answer any questions very well but he does get into the ins and outs of what makes a show fail or succeed.

Interviews and clips with the Star Trek original series cast with writer D.C. Fontana and lead by William Shatner and tied into his Star Trek Memories book that came out around the same time.

Released on VHS and one hour long this feels sort of like an A&E tv special. Sort of simple and hastily thrown together but the cast are still in their prime here and the stories are good.

Deforest Kelly looks especially good here wearing all denim and sporting a sort of mullet,

Though this came out in 1995 I actually think the best place to watch it as part of my Star Trek By Stardate timeline is shortly before the last full TOS movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Fan Fiction

Non-Canon - Book / Audiobook (unabridged)

Written by Brent Spiner

Read / listen after TNG episode The Offspring

Published October, 2021

Read August, 2023

This review concerns the unabridged audiobook.

Set in 1991, this fictional memoir plays like a comedy noir with Spiner weaving an absurd murder mystery through real details of his own life and the full TNG cast voicing themselves.

I wish this had been made as a film. Even as a sort of cheesy made for TV movie. Spiner is really funny and good at poking fun of himself and Star Trek without ever disrespecting it.

The plot has minor connections to TNG Season 3 episode 16 The Offspring and, though tonally opposite, I actually think it makes an excellent pairing. Fan Fiction offers a silly glimpse into the mind of Brent Spiner and his life at the time of making Star Trek: The Next Generation. I really loved it. When I was done I listened to his novelty album Ol’ Yellow Eyes Is Back and it’s actually a terrific follow up Dreamland, the latter of which strikes a similar tone of old Hollywood whimsy as Fan Fiction does.

Highly recommended.

Date uncertain (placed by DK after TNG: Q Who)

Published April 12, 2022

Read August 11, 2025

I initially had this story as the 2nd entry in the timeline due to uts being advertised as a Borg origin story.

In fact it appears to take place in an unknown time when the Borg already exist. For that reason I’ve placed it after the TNG episode Q Who as a sort of companion / grace note to the Borg’s introduction.

The story itself is ok. Q’s antics are funny and on brand. I did find the sort of Frankenstein / Igor dynamic of Dr. Maratheus and her servant/assistant Butte to be heavy handed.

Still I think this works as a nice little Star Trek appetizer.

Published December 11, 2019

Read July 26, 2024

There are startlingly few Star Trek Voyager comics. This is the first one I’ve read and it takes place entirely in the mirror universe.

In this universe Voyager is still stuck in the Delta Quadrant but Commander Cavit is still alive, and we get a crossover of Kes and Seven Of Nine, who is somehow still associated with the Borg but is missing her eyepiece.

Lots of sexy/evil versions of the characters we know and plenty of doublecrossing. The Doctor gets an especially exciting twist.

Mirror Janeway appears in a new 2024 season 2 episode of Star Trek Prodigy and it was cool that she looked the same here.

The ending seems to imply further adventures of the Mirror Voyager in pursuit of the Borg but as of this review no further stories have been told.

I also had to download the E-book of this comic because the only physical copy I could find online was for $129 on eBay and it was not included in any of the subsequent IDW omnibus editions which is odd to me because it seems to fit into IDW’s other Mirror Universe TNG comics that were being published around the same time.

In any case, this is a fun story set entirely in the Mirror Universe playground. Oh and I really loved evil Neelix and wish we could see more of him.

This review is for the abridged audiobook. The abridgement did seem apparent to me so I do intend to read the proper book.

This was a really fun listen. Narrated by Robert Picardo, whose Doctor, along with Janeway, doesn’t get much coverage in this story.

Pathways feels like a top-mid-tier Voyager episode.

Between the events of Voyager’s seasons 4 and 5 we find the crew captured in the prison camp of a hostile alien race. This framing device allows for a sort of campfire style telling of the backstories of the main Voyager crew except Seven, The Doctor, and Janeway.

Apparently Janeway’s backstory is covered in a similar fashion in Jeri Taylor’s previous novel Mosaic. I’m presently listening to the audiobook for The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway so it will be interesting to follow it with that and see how things line up.

This was a really well crafted look at these characters and the choices in their lives that lead them to serve with each other on Voyager. I found Neelix’s backstory particularly compelling. Tuvok’s story about his pilgrimage with a Selat felt like an emotional tribute to the TAS episode Yesteryear.

This could’ve easily been a real episode of the series and if it reads that way it’s because Jeri Taylor was one of the show’s head writers.

Picardo’s narration is characteristically great. He can’t really do the voices but he does mimic the cadence well.

My only criticism here is that some sections felt rushed but I believe that’s down to the abridgement. I will get to the full book eventually.

Star Trek: BORG - Written by Hillary Bader
2377 (2367 via time travel)
Published Dec1, 1996

Watched/Listened September, 2023

Star Trek: BORG is an interactive CD-Rom game that came out in November of 1996, one year after Star Trek Voyager’s finale aired, but taking place canonically two years before that episode.

I wish Star Trek had more side-adventures like this with new characters. At the moment I can only think of a few offhand.

The audiobook dramatization of the game is the first thing I interacted with here and I think that was the right call since it gives a voice to the protagonist, Cadet Furlong, who we the player are meant to embody in the game and subsequent fan-edit of it’s gameplay.

Q arrives and acts as a sort of liaison to the proceeding but the audiobook gives Fulong an inner monologue that adds a lot of necessary context and development.

Q’s involvement also allows the audiobook dramatization to turn the gameplay redo’s into funny 2nd chances instead of GAME OVER moments.

The audiobook and gameplay fan-edits play like some lost episode of a forgotten series. It even has a nice score by veteran Trek composer Dennis McCarthy.

At present there are three cuts of the gameplay and none of them are complete since there are a multitude of outcomes. I believe THIS longer cut online has more than the others though.

You can see those edits here: ONE, TWO, and THREE.

These are a bit of a slog at times with all the variables one after another. But there are a lot of funny and well acted scenes by John de Lancie as Q to be found among them however.

I’d like to have played the actual game but I don’t know where I’d find a computer to play an interactive CD-ROM on in 2023.

The fan-edits of gameplay are fun but the real star here is the audiobook. I love that it’s a standalone audiobook without a print edition. It makes it like a radio show.

I have this placed on my timeline at 2377 in the middle of the NEW FRONTIER book series, but I think you could just as easily place it near TNG episodes The Best Of Both Worlds Part 1 and 2 and the, now recently published, fan-fiction We Have Engaged The Borg: The Oral History of The Battle Of Wolf 359. (I haven’t read this yet and wonder if it addresses the events of Cadet Furlong and Star Trek: Borg)

The Autobiography Of Kathryn Janeway - Written by Una McCormack
2377 (2367 via time travel)
Published October 27, 2020

Listened July 29, 2024

This review is for the unabridged audiobook read by Kathryn Janeway herself, Kate Mulgrew. I do own the print copy however in softcover, which has some nice photos.

There’s going to be one big SPOILER at the end here just so you know.

I really loved this as I did McCormack’s excellent Autobiography of Mister Spock.

Listening to Mulgrew traverse Janeway’s life stories leading to and through her time on Voyager was like spending the day with your favorite teacher. I felt like I was drinking coffee with Janeway sitting across the table from me as she related tales of her life.

There are basically three distinct eras the book covers. Janeway’s childhood, her rise through starfleet, and her time on Voyager.

Many of the captain’s flaws are on display here while neither being glossed over nor wallowed in. Janeway’s life is one of sacrifice and that thread is very woven into her story across time and space.

The Voyager era of this book smarty avoids detail in favor of offering some unique inner perspective on the adventures and history we already know.

Here’s that SPOILER I warned you about…

The only part of this book I had any issue with was the revelation that Janeway had a daughter named Amelia (after Amelia Earheart who she met in Voyager’s episode The 37’s). It would seem Amelia was born by way of Janeway’s mom and sister using her frozen embryo in her absence believing she was dead. I’ll be honest that I find that a bit creepy and a bit of a surprisingly big non-canonical swing for McCormack to take. It doesn’t straight up bother me however and doesn’t in any way cast a shadow on this excellent book. Just stuck me as odd.

I wonder how it goes at Janeway family reunions with Amelia, Q Jr, and the Salamander she sired with Tom Paris.

Upon completing this book I noticed that there is apparently another Janeway backstory in the form of Jeri Taylor’s book Mosaic which has a similar flashback format to Taylor’s Pathways. Mosaic was written while Voyager was still on the air. I will listen to that audiobook next as it will be interesting to see what inconsistencies or parallels may be there.

I strongly recommend this book as either a coda to Star Trek Voyager or a prelude to Star Trek Prodigy.

Star Trek Scouts - Star Trek Scouts Defeat A SOAPY Asteroid In Space! - Asteroid Blasters #1 - Episode 1

Aired September 8, 2025

Watched September 8, 2025

Move over Section 31 and TNG’s Code Of Honor, there’s a new low in Star Trek.

Today for Star Trek Day they have announced Star Trek Scouts, a show for… babies i guess? Its 4min episodes air on Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel.

Don’t get me wrong - I think it’s nice for there to be some non-canonical kids stuff. In theory that’s a very nice idea. But Star Trek Scouts is ugly, stupid and soulless.

The Scouts are in a sort of starship bridge playpen shooting various objects at a bar of soap asteroid on it’s way toward them. Occasionally a severely irritating and condescending voice interrupts to spin a wheel of objects they might consider launching.

One such object is a Romulan Rubber Duckie.

They also have a Targ from the planet Qo’noS.

One of them is a Vulcan.

The animation style looks like all the other garbage youtube child distraction shows.

We had Star Trek Prodigy., a show everyone in the family could watch together. They sold it off and cancelled it so we could have this… a show for people who are desperate for their kids to be quiet.

It has no real stardate nor anything to indicate one so I’m placing it after Star Trek Prodigy in the timeline; not as a companion but as an indictment.

Star Trek Scouts - Star Trek Scouts SMASH a Meatball Asteroid in Space! - Asteroid Blasters #2 - Episode 2

Aired September 9, 2025

Watched September 9, 2025

So it’s clear that JR, Roo, and Sprocket are modeled after Kirk, Uhura and Spock,

Sprocket has a “bionic arm”’which begs the question - when did he lose his real arm?

In this episode they are waiting on another asteroid. This time it’s a meatball asteroid from the noodle nebula.

These idiots begin by throwing a stop sign at it but that doesn’t work so they throw a fork and it turns it into a bunch of tiny meatballs.

I guess capitalizing one word in the title is going to be a CONSTANT here.

Two classic Trek sound effects can be heard. The red alert and the transporter energizing sound.

I guess the whole asteroid countdown device is a way to keep your child glued fo their iPad and out of mom’s hair while she’s glued to her phone.

These are so depressing.

I just watched this and can barely tell you what happened.

Sprocket draws JR a picture that JR feels really emotional about and even cries, calling it beautiful. This is the bookend for the episode.

There’s a firework asteroid and they launch things at it. First up: a paper airplane.

Then the choices are either a hairball or a hammer. We go with the hammer.

JR’s emotion about the drawing makes me kinda wonder if they are making a veiled reference to “Spirk”, the fan-fictional romance between Spock and Kirk. If so, that's pretty inappropriate here. But this whole idiotic, incurious and ugly show is ill-advised in my opinion.

Star Trek Scouts - Star Trek Scouts Hit a Pickle Filled PIÑATA In Space! - Asteroid Blasters #4 - Episode 4
???
Aired October 4, 2025

Watched October 4, 2025

I was expecting them to air these regularly but they have shown up on the “Blaze And The Monster Machines” YouTube channel with irregularity. There have also been 10m and 60m Star Trek Scouts videos posted - I assume for bored parents to keep their kids distracted which appears to be the entire cynical motivation of this series.

In the break between episodes I asked myself an important question - why are the launch items they propel at the impending asteroids chosen randomly by a wheel? One would think that at least young Sprocket, a Vulcan, would use the logical teachings of Surak to find a better way.

In this episode we begin with Sprocket’s birthday. The other Scouts got him a cake but Sprocket uses his bionic arm to blow the candles out and gets cake all over everyone. Why are kids shows always preoccupied with making a mess?

The Asteroid here is a Pinata from the Pulsar Party System. Ok.

Four minutes to impact and the scouts spin their wheel which lands on some confetti. Doesn’t work.

They are interrupted by Star Trek Scouts’ first “villain”.Finn.

Finn seems like a mix of Khan and Finnigan (Kirk’s school nemesis). Big missed opportunity for them not to have JR yell “Fiiiiiiiiiinn!”.

Sprocket uses his bionic arm’s candle blowing power to blast Finn out the door.

Star Trek Scouts - Star Trek Scouts Blast a BOOGER Asteroid In Space! - Asteroid Blasters #5 - Episode 5
???
Aired October 11, 2025

Watched October 13, 2025

NOTE: At some point the title of this episode was changed to Star Trek Scouts Blast a STINKY booker Asteroid In Space! and then changed back without comment.

To answer my own question posed in a previous review of Star Trek Scouts, kids shows are preoccupied with making a mess because kids are not supposed to make a mess and making a mess is silly therefore it is often presented in their entertainment this way.

And now we are faced with a booger asteroid from the Borg barrier.

You wouldn’t think that Borgs would have boogers, but they do have organic matter and so it makes sense that the Borg cubes would expel waste matter such as boogers and jets in it into space thus creating a booger asteroid.

The scouts spin their wheel, again I don’t understand why the propellant selection is randomized, and the first launch time is stinky Ferengian beans. As always the first item fails spectacularly.

Another spin selects the equally useless boomerang which actually worsens the dilemma by missing the booger asteroid entirely and coming back to hit the scouts even before the booger asteroid, now covered in beans, can arrive,

Ru thinks quickly and jumps on a hoverboard that looks straight out of Back To The Future Part II. “Ru to the rescue!”, she cries, pulling out a phaser (Starfleet issues weapons to children?!) and catching the boomerang before it hit.

Now there’s only two launch items to choose from. Tissues and a jet ski.

They choose the tissues which cling to the booger and soften its impact - though a small amount hits JR.

It just now occurs to me that this show is called Star Trek Scouts but they are never scouting for anything and are in fact bound to their little station on whatever planet they’re on.

Is this a holodeck simulation or a legitimate Starfleet operation?

Star Trek Scouts - Star Trek Scouts Zap a Kernel Asteroid Into POPCORN! - Asteroid Blasters #6 - Episode 6
???
Aired October 18, 2025

Watched October 19 2025

JR is getting spun around in a chair by the other Scouts when all the sudden a corn kernel asteroid from the Klingon Corn Cluster is on its way.

They spin the wheel and it decides to shoot a stick of butter. This makes a splat sound but doesn’t deter the asteroid.

2nd spin - a microwave. Seems ideal but their asteroid blaster breaks down.

JR says he knows what to do and rather than beaming onto a ship, he has a ship beam around him which I thought was kind of neat.

Roo attaches a deflector, I suppose so JR can aim microwave rays at the kernel which he does leading to a popcorn shower and safety from the asteroid.

I have to wonder how these asteroids are making it through Klingon space or Borg space for that matter. It begs the question, are these asteroids the Scouts are blasting even real? Is this all a holodeck simulation for children? A sort of pre-school Kobayashi Maru?

I also sort of wondered if maybe the Daystrom Institute had cloned Kirk, Spock and Uhura and this is simply a training program to bring them closer to their true clone identities.

The Captains - Directed by William Shatner
Released 2011

Watched October 25, 2024

This one is for Star Trek fans almost exclusively but that’s not a bad thing.

A low budget but highly watchable 2011 documentary made by Shatner about his fellow starship captains Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine.

Shatner is his usual charismatic self and the interviews are both playful and insightful as they talk about Trek, music, theater, life and art.

In between these discussions we get scenes of Bill goofing off at Trek conventions and interacting with fans and strangers. We also get side interviews with some other Trek actors.

Shatner shares a lot of stories and anecdotes about his own life but keeps it lively.

We also get a reunion between Kirk and Chang as he interviews Christopher Plummer.

The production itself is a simple thing with a tv special feel to it but it’s well paced and moves along very well.

This is a really great look at 6 actors who have a common thread through their unique roles. All dynamic personalities with great stories to tell.

The jazz piano score by Andy Milne is really gorgeously understated. He actually released it as an album called From The Bridge; produced by none other than Avery Brooks.

EXTRAS:

Disc 1 of The Captains Collection also comes with a trailer and a Making Of The Captains bonus feature that is 11m2s long and more or less sums of the scope of the production and how it was made.

Disc 5 of The Captains Collection comes with the following exclusive extras:

Walter Koenig from The Captains - 10m56s

Koenig speaks generally about his work on Star Trek and his relationship with Shatner specifically which he is quite candid about.

Grace Lee Whitney from The Captains - 14m56s

Grace talks about her acting history and her role as Yeoman Rand. I never knew she was in Some Like It Hot.

She also describes a shocking encounter with a Desilu Exec and the difficult time she faces following that.

She also talks about her book and her sobriety.

Gary Lockwood from The Captains - 16m38s

Gary talks about his long career in acting, his work on the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before, and working with Gene Roddenberry and Stanley Kubrick,

Sally Kellerman from The Captains- 3m59s

Sally talks about her work on the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before

The Captains Close Up - Directed by William Shatner
Released 2013

Watched October 29, 2024

The Captains Close Up makes good use of all the extra footage shot for 2011’s The Captains by expanding it into a 5 episode docu-series.

Episode 1: William Shatner

Here we get a Bill centered episode using outtakes from his interviews from The Captains mixed with old and new footage centered around Shatner’s World, a one man show he was performing.

Here the interviews get a little more personal and go deeper into Shatner’s self image, relationships, and personal side.

Episode 2: Patrick Stewart

There is a bit of cursory backstory for Patrick Stewart and his upbringing - told in a simple YouTube sort of style. These segments are intercut such his interview with Shatner; an interview on his own, and several others like Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Ronald D. Moore, Rick Berman and others.

They do talk about Star Trek but mostly they talk about acting and life in general.

Episode 3: Avery Brooks

One of the only Avery Brooks interviews there really is and it’s terrific. Shatner and Brooks are two of Star Trek’s biggest personalities and they sit at a piano performing and communicating together.

In many ways Avery Brooks out-Shatners Shatner here and it’s spectacular to watch Bill be momentarily speechless.

We also get interviews with other DS9 cast and crew and their thoughts on Avery.

There’s a nice segment on the film’s composer Andy Milne and we see part of the recording session which was overseen by Brooks.

Episode 4: Kate Mulgrew

Lots of great asides from the Voyager cast.

I’m always stunned by how beautiful Roxann Dawson is in and outside of her Klingon makeup.

Bill interviews Kate on a stage at a theater where she is performing in a play. Theater is the common thread of most of these interviews.

Shatner makes the mistake of calling her a housewife and she corrects him.

Lots of nice photos from Kate’s childhood.

Hearing Kate do her impression of Genevieve Boujold’s French Canadian accent is hilarious. She speaks very highly of her though.

Garret Wang’s Kate Mulgrew impression is also very funny.

Kate’s sister sounds so much like her and looks like a cross between her and Diane Lane.

I feel like this ends a bit early and could’ve been a really nice profile of her if it had run a bit longer. Or only scratches the surface of Kate’s life and career but does so very well.

Episode 5: Scott Bakula

Bill and Scott meet at a racetrack, as in The Captains, but here we see them riding and talking about horse riding.

Shatner is kinda all over the place in this one but it’s funny and Scott rolls with it.

Bakula goes into bus musical theater background and there’s more context to their singing If I Were A Rich Man.

EXTRAS:

The Captains Close Up: Still Kicking - 47m

Essentially a 6th episode of The Captains Close Up, this feature documentary interview (it comes with its own trailer in this collection) is hidden here, banished to the bonus feature section. I wonder why.

Filmed on stage at the Stratford Festival theater in Stratford Ontario, Shatner sits down for a lengthy interview with fellow Canadian actor and General Chang from Star Trek 6, Christopher Plummer.

Interestingly these two had a history in the theater together and came up around the same time.

The reminiscing does get a bit tedious with all the obscure Canadian theater references.

We get some self reflection from Bill wandering the grounds of his alma mater.

They do get to talking about Star Trek VI but not for long.

Shatner goes through the schools archives looking at old photos which is nice.

Plummer talks about having kidney stones and Shatner having to play Henry V instead.

William Shatner: Firefighter - Saving Star Trek III - 1m15s

Shatner cruises around the Paramount lot in a golf cart talking about and he helped put out a fire there saving the production of Search For Spock so he could get back to working on TJ Hooker.

When The Wall Came Down - 1m41s

Shatner talks with John Campbell about the joining of Desilu Studios and Paramount Pictures.

Ponder The Mystery - Music Video - 3m37s

Pretty cringey music video for Shatner’s song. Not a lot of thought went into this one.

The Captains Close Up - Trailer - 1m16s

The Captains Close Up: Still Kicking - Trailer - 56s

Get A Life - Directed by William Shatner
Released 2012

Watched October 29, 2024

Essentially a lighter version of the Trekkies documentary, we get a lot of footage from the 45th anniversary Star Trek convention in Las

Vegas.

A fun tv special kind of thing that focuses its attention more on the fandom than the show itself.

Kids, adults, families, a firefighter, a college professor, a NASA software developer and all different kinds of folks.

Shatner also speaks with Robert Walter, president of the Joseph Conrad foundation which serves as a sort of framing device for the film.

We also get a look into what goes into Star Trek conventions from a production perspective.

It’s nice hearing the cast of DS9 talk about their relationship with the fans.

The costume contest scenes are really endearing as is the story of David Sparks.

I really hope to go to a convention one day myself. It looks like such a good time.

EXTRAS:

Shatner And The Fans - 3m3s

Spends a little time with Bill signing autographs with fans.

The Jue Family - 4m34s

A family attending the convention together talks about their love of Star Trek and a family wedding on the bridge of the Enterprise at the Star Trek Experience.

They also give a tour of their collection which I’m very jealous of.

Conversation With Robert Walter - 6m4s

An extended interview from what appears in the film.

Fanaddicts Sizzle Reel - 5m5s

Idk if this is a trailer or what. The editing is a bit disorienting. There’s a few moments in here that aren’t in the film and it seems like maybe this was a pitch to turn it into a reality show or something.

Peter & Charlotte - 1m31s

Peter is a Star Trek fan with spina bifida and briefly talks about his convention experience.

Dr. Scott Richards - 3m3s

A psychiatrist talks about the Trek fandom.

Trailer - 1m25s

Phasers On Stun (non-canon)

Phasers On Stun
by Ryan Britt
Published May 31, 2022
Finished reading August, 2023

This concerns the audiobook version which, being unabridged, I find sufficient.

I didn’t care much for Phasers On Stun.

Author Ryan Britt narrates. I found his voice distractingly like a Beavis & Butthead character: the dad of the Positive Acting Teens group in Season 5 Episode 44 “Patsies”. Its a deep cut but once you hear it it’s all you can picture.

I don’t exactly know who this book is for. It’s meant to be an overview but it’s full of pretty general knowledge mixed with lots of spoilers. Someone who is new to Star Trek will have all of it quickly spoiled by this book and anyone who’s seen it all will probably know most of the behind-the-scenes facts already,

One very odd thing I noticed was Britt’s very forced unnatural use of cussing in this book. I’d be interested to know how many times he says “fuck”. I’m not being a prude here. I don’t mind cussing if that’s the tone you’re striking. But this feels more like an editor’s note to try and be cooler and more conversational. It comes off like a child trying to hang out with cooler older children.

Conversely a lot of Britt’s hand-wringing over Star Trek’s history as benign progressive (or transgressive!) feels like he’s trying to win the hearts of Star Trek’s new GenZ shipper crowd.

For anyone reading this who is ready to pounce on me, it should be noted that, shipping aside, I mostly love Star Trek Discovery, I love the representation in Trek, and my politics veer extremely to the left. There… put your pitchforks on stun and let’s continue.

My issue in this case is not with Britt’s championing of Trek’s progressive history nor his critique of it’s more than occasional insensitivities. I am mostly annoyed at how shallow his look into these sides of Trek ends up going. It feels like a lot of regurgitated social media arguments laid out in the simplest terms possible. It is as though he has just tried to distill the present consensus and briefly summarize the high and low points. I think there’s a place for a book like that, but I guess I hoped for something more; more of a stance.

It was funny to hear him hype the, now canceled, Matt Shakman Trek movie at the end like some kind of special moment.

Ryan Britt seems like a nice guy but he doesn’t seem to have any opinions of his own about Trek that he wishes to share.

The best thing about Phasers On Stun is its clever and colorful cover artwork.
