Podcast appearances and mentions of garfield reeves stevens

Observer Effect (Star Trek: Enterprise, S4 E11) was recommended by Nazzy (she/her), who said: I've recommended some sillier episodes of Enterprise to you boys, now I want to share one that's just genuinely *good*. Season 4 is when ENT finally, truly started playing to its strengths, even if it was ultimately too late to save it from cancellation. The problem with recommending Season 4 episodes for the purposes of the podcast is that much of the season is broken up into mini-arcs of 2 or 3 episodes, and as much as I would love to have you cover the whole "Babel" three parter, I can't ask that of you (yet). So instead I'm going to suggest an episode that's one of the few one offs of the season, and one of my favorites - Observer Effect, in which Trip and Hoshi contract an alien virus on an away mission. The Enterprise crew must scramble to save their lives, not knowing their efforts are being watched by outside observers.It's a classic Star Trek medical mystery episode, with the added twist of exactly who the observers are and how the observation is being done. It also has some lovely character moments, and since I love these characters, it's like catnip for me.Observer Effect first aired on January 21, 2005, written by Garfield Reeves-Stevens & Judith Reeves-Stevens, and directed by Mike VejarThe Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens Interview. Season four of Star Trek: Enterprise saw many changes to the creative team working on the show. One addition to the writing staff of the show was Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. No stranger to Star Trek or television writing, the Reeves-Stevens brought their wealth of Trek knowledge and Star Trek novel writing experience to the team. Drawing on their experience, fans of the show were treated to what is considered by many to be the best season of the shows run, due in large part to the many nods to established Star Trek continuity. In this episode of Warp Five, host Brandon-Shea Mutala interviews the writing duo of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to discuss their vast career. We discuss writing books, television, Batman: The Animated Series, Aliens Ate My Homework, William Shatner, Disney, Canadian bears, and much more.  Special thanks to our friends at the Spocklight Podcast for putting us in touch with our guests.

And so our journeys have brought you, poor listener, to discussion of the Shatnerverse. First, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens were the ghostwriters/collaborators/spinning-crap-into-clay-ers of the Shatnerverse. Michael Jan Friedman is one person who also wrote Star Trek books, but didn't write these ASCII-compatible abortions so they're in the clear. I apologize for besmirching your good name, sir. While we're talking about Star Trek novel writers; Diane Duane is fantastic and Peter David is pretty cool. Duane wrote “Spock's World,” and “Rihannsu,” which got frequently ripped off in TNG. David wrote “New Frontier,” which used a lot of characters, from the show, including Commander Shel– We'll get to it. Also Victor Milan wrote for both Star Trek and Battletech, so there's a factoid for your next nerd party.

In this week’s release, we go back to June 2016 to discuss the novel Federation by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, a big blockbuster crossover featuring TOS, TNG, and pre-Federation characters. Spoiler alert: we liked it. iTunesGoogle PlayRSS

Season 4 With Larry Nemecek.   One of the biggest regrets of the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise was that it happened right at a time when digital cameras were making their way into the main stream. Behind the scenes photos were limited to Polaroid photos and how many pictures a roll of film could hold. Had it lasted a few more seasons, we would have had the most documented behind the scenes photos of any Trek series to date. However, we have the next best thing. Larry Nemecek has made a career investigating documents and conducting interviews with the people that have made the episodes we love. So, what does Larry know about the final, and fan favorite season of Enterprise? In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin, Brandi Jackola, and Brandon-Shea Mutala are joined by Star Trek expert Larry Nemecek to discuss the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Production was moving forward on the first Star Trek TV spin-off, Phase II, in the summer and fall of 1977.   Even though Paramount, in August 1977, had already decided that Phase II was dead.   To ensure that they had all of the cast contracts in place for the coming movie...and to make sure that this time, the production would move forward...the studio waited until March 1978 to tell the world about this new version of the production, Star Trek The Motion Picture. And of course during that time, between August ‘77 and March ‘78, nobody working on Phase II knew that it was dead.  They were kept in the dark. So work on the show continued.  Along with building the sets, signing the cast, and creating a new model for the Starship Enterprise...the production staff needed stories. In the book, Star Trek Phase II, the authors Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens explain that Jon Povil, the story editor for the show, had to listen to hundreds of pitches from writers! From those pitches, 13 emerged as the best stories that fit the show’s hour-long format, and Star Trek’s unique universe. In this episode of 70s Trek, we tell you about six of them: Tomorrow and the Stars Cassandra The Child Kitumba Parts 1 and 2 Practice in Walking Deadlock Next week, we tell you about the last seven scripts.

Star Trek: Avenger. At the end of William Shatner’s The Return, Captain Kirk found himself in dire circumstances. Sacrificing his life once again to save countless others, it looked as though we had again lost the Starfleet legend. However, in 1997, William Shatner (along with collaborators Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens), found themselves once again resurrecting galactic hero James T. Kirk! In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther are joined by Bruce Gibson to talk about William Shatner’s Star Trek: Avenger. We discuss coming back to the book, the Federation’ existential and ecological crisis, a group with questionable policies, Kirk as Sarek’s “Son”, Kirk avenging, the return…again, ratings and final thoughts. In the news segment we rejoice at the news about Kirsten Beyer’s new writing gig and remind everyone that Jeff Lang’s Force in Motion is out now.
