For The Love of Dorothy
Dorothy Fontana, that is. Who deserves a lot more credit than she gets, and not just from Trekkies. Here’s a rundown.

How Star Trek: Generations could have been one of the best
Star Trek VII: Generations is probably nobody’s favorite, probably for a number of reasons. Here’s my take on how it could have been done better – and possibly making it one of the better loved cinematic installments of Star Trek.
So what’s so bad about season 3 of Star Trek?
It seems – at least to me – that there is a subset of Star Trek fans who really don’t like the third season of the original series. Why is that?
Which Episodes of STAR TREK Are In Continuity?
It’s an interesting question: What episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series are explicitly in continuity because they were referenced in the Trek movies? Could you state that, say, “A Taste Of Armageddon” definitely happened to our heroes because it was referenced in one of the films?

It seemed like an interesting challenge. And since I was going through a bout of insomnia when I first read the question, I decided to find out.
Separating the Art from the Artist
All the news about Harvey Weinstein in the last couple of weeks has gotten me thinking about this age-old question again: Where do you separate the art from the artist? What do you do when you discover that the creator of a work you love is an asshole, has done something heinous, or is even an outright criminal?

John Byrne’s STAR TREK Shout-Outs!
Last week, I talked about STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS, the photomontage comics series of Star Trek adventures that John Byrne is doing for IDW.
But before John Byrne got a regular gig telling STAR TREK stories, he was just like the rest of us – A STAR TREK fan who’d occasionally make reference to it in his everyday life. It just so happened that Byrne’s everyday life was as a popular writer/artist of comic books. So I thought it’d be fun to see how many ST references I could pick out of Byrne’s classic comic book work.
