Got a new email update from Marc Cushman on May 8th. He shared some more details about his upcoming 900 page book "These Are The Voyages", full of surprising behind the scenes stories and pictures from every Star Trek T.O.S. episode, which commemorates the 45th Anniversary of Star Trek!
Of his interview with me, he says "You are one of the voices that walk us through the production, taking us on a tour of makeup, the trailers, the set, with a look at Bill Shatner and Marc Daniels at…

So, I've had this book for a few days now after pre-ordering it from Amazon months ago. Published by Abrams Books, this hefty tome makes use of the publisher's popular
365 Days series format to present what is, essentially, a celebration of the original series.
I say this as a longtime Trekkie of the first order: If you're a fan of the original series and you don't have this book? You need to turn in your "I Grok Spock" pin, pointed ears, phaser-shaped water pistol, and your…

Wow! Has it really been *two months* since the last time I did one of these? Where did the time go?
(I know. I can hear some folks saying "What? It's
only been two months? Damn!" Today's just not your day, is it?)

Found this last night in the back of the closet down in "the Vault." Anybody ever seen one?
It's a type of poster they used to call "Wallbusters." This thing is monstrous: 50" x 38", and the idea is that the scene is perforated and removable from the surrounding white space, after which you stick it on your wall to give the room that whole "HOLY SHIT! They're coming to get me!" feeling. These were…

It's a quiet Sunday evening here at Stately Ward Manor, and as I work my way through my Season 3 DVD set of
Burn Notice in preparation for watching the 4th season premiere I've got on the DVR, I feel like gettin' bit nostalgic for some old-school
Star Trek nerdity.
So, what's on the agenda tonight? A trip back to 1976, and the totally bitchin' series of
Star Trek Giant Poster Books. Behold, yo!…

So, I'm reading message boards this morning, and I come across a discussion started by someone commenting that they didn't want to see any more stories with the original
Star Trek characters. He'd done some thinking, and figured that this one group of people had encountered far too many adventures to be credible. It wasn't realistic, apparently. To make it more interesting, he was referring only to the original series' 79 episodes, and not even the subsequent animated…

I've been doing some digging around in the Vault lately, and found myself pawing through some of my older books. Among them are these twelve little jewels...ambassadors for
Star Trek from a truly bygone era.
(Click to enlarge.)
Published in 1977 and 1978, each of these "Fotonovels" takes an episode of the original
Star Trek series and retells it in a neat…

Last year, during the run-up to the premiere of the new
Star Trek film, I wrote a semi-regular series of blog posts where I was "feelin' nostalgic" for the original series. The topics I covered included reminiscing about older
Star Trek books, tributes to the original U.S.S.
Enterprise filming model, to pleas for fans to visit the totally awesome website of fan turned pro and Academy Award-winning makeup artist Doug Drexler (who among other things is also the artist for the…
