Then, Voyager
Our Voyager Retrospective takes a look at the ship's bumpy seven year trip home.  Full Text>>

Survive Her
One of the hallmarks of a show that has gotten just a little too old for its own good is the introduction of outrageous, bizarre, or merely out of character plot twists which work retroactively to change what we know about an established character-- to suddenly try and make the audience think that maybe we didn't really know them as well as we thought after all.  Full Text>>

Captain's Holiday?

It all sounded good.  It seemed that Ken Biller's tenure as show-runner of Voyager would be marked by a renewed emphasis on neglected character arcs.  To wit, the writing staff has promised to address Kim's rank in an episode in which he becomes Captain of an alien vessel; to run with the long ignored Torres-Paris relationship; Torres' own feelings about her Klingon heritage-- even the long subdued, but simmering Doctor-Seven of Nine attraction.  Full Text>>

Star Trek News Celebrates Its Pathetic Fourth Anniversary
On July 20 1996, STAR TREK News first opened its doors.  When it began, it was a pathetic little site run by a person who had little idea what he was doing and who had little, if any, real grasp of HTML. 
  In the ensuing four years, not much has changed.  This site plugs on in its own sad little way, really just a cover for my continuing, and increasingly desperate attempts to elicit personal praise and attention from other people.  Full Text>>

Farewell to Arms

After six and a half years in first-run syndication, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine leaves the air in a two-hour final episode entitled "What You Leave Behind" airing at the end of May.

 It may not be fair to evaluate the legacy left behind of this series: after all-- it hasn't even concluded yet-- however, as a series, DS9 leaves behind much
that is already ripe for analysis.

Behind the Roddenberrys
Since 1997, this site has held its annual Roddenberry Awards each summer, recognizing the best performances, scripts, direction, effects, design and episodes from Deep Space Nine, Voyager and the Star Trek films. 
  At first, they were concieved as an elaborate poll with a little bit more formality than the typical poll where you select your choice and get an instant         result.  For one, it was intended to mimic popular real-life awards like the Academy Awards and the Emmys.  And why not?  With two shows on the air (and a movie every two years), Trek was producing at the very least, somewhere around 52 hours of entertainment each year.

Trek Or Treat?

Sure, almost every show on the air takes time out to have one of those very special holiday shows. But they usually focus on Christmas.  And while

gift giving and family bonding all sound nice, what most TV producers have not yet realized is that trickery and scariness is what really plays well on TV.    So while other shows divert their resources in to Christmas episodes, Trek has been building up a solid canon of Halloween worthy shows. Okay-- so there's only been one overtly Halloween themed episode. But a closer examination proves that there are many hours of Trek entertainment which make especially fitting viewing at this joyous time of year.

Trek Actors Move On
Blasting to a theater near you this fall!  The cast of a legendary sci-fi show is called into service to save the galaxy once again while attending conventions
and meeting their devoted fans at the same time! 
  While it's unlikely that the remaining cast of Star Trek's Original Series will ever band together again (unless to mutually promote each other's tell-all  books), this December, fans may nonetheless get the opportunity to live that fantasy out vicariously through a group of characters when the movie Galaxy Quest is released.  Full Text>>

A Dance With The Devil
Benjamin Sisko doesn’t have it easy. 
  His wife is dead, killed by the Borg at Wolf 359, and he reluctantly takes command of a dilapidated space station, writhing with the worst the galaxy has to offer: Bajoran terrorists, irate Cardassian military officers, scheming Ferengi, and an untested command staff.  Commander Sisko doesn’t know
whether he can trust these people in whose hands he must place his life.  And, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, formerly Locutus of Borg, assigns Benjamin Sisko command of Cardassian space station Terok Nor, now designated Deep Space Nine, a waystation that happens to be at the mouth of a stable wormhole (in which the Bajoran Prophets, who make Sisko their Emissary, reside) to the dangerous Gamma Quadrant.

Best of Trek Volume II Album Review
Just as phasers, warp drive and the term "Beam me up, Scotty" have become some of Star Trek's cultural references recognizable to even the most mainstream of audiences, another easily identified Trek staple has, over the years, become Alexander Courage's distinctive theme music of the original Star Trek series.  Courage's theme is one of those from classic TV shows where even the first few chords can evoke an instant flash of nostalgia.  Any TV show (much less a franchise) would be lucky to produce one timeless, memorable piece of music.  Yet each of the ensuing Trek shows have become
associated with themes which are almost tireless in their durability.  Full Text>>
