After every season of Star Trek, I gather a panel of nerds together and we talk about the highs and lows of the season that just ended. This time we talk about the third season of Star Trek Picard. Returning for our 7th episode breaking down a completed season of Trek. Joining me as always are vocal Star Trek fan Sara Lynn Michener, Musician, and filmmaker Issa Diao and for this episode, we are joined by special guest John Ordover. John is the first creator of a Star Trek series to join us. In the 90s he was the editor of Pocketbooks line of Star Trek novels including co-creating the Star Trek New Frontier book series with author Peter David. He also co-wrote two classic episodes of Deep Space Nine. In this episode, we will break down the ins and out of Picard Season Three, the highs and lows,  ups and downs.

The 5 Cs of History: Context, Episode #3 of 4. There are few individuals in American history with as divided a legacy as Margaret Sanger. For many, she was a pioneer of women's health, an important birth control activist, and founder of Planned Parenthood. For others, Sanger represents the immorality of feminism and insidious evil of reproductive choice. Yet others see Sanger as a eugenicist orchestrating a genocide against the Black American population. Radical, unconventional, and outspoken, Sanger is an endlessly useful character for modern day political ends. Which is it? Was Margaret Sanger good or evil? If we slow down, think like historians, and examine Sanger's beliefs and actions within their historical context, we can get a bit closer to the reality.

On this 42nd episode (42!) we talk to Legion of Superheroes expert John Ordover about his favorite super-team. What made Legion comics salacious for their time? What was different about the Legion books? What character died and stayed dead? Who was in charge of the Legion comics for a long time? When did the Legion books get dark and grim? What did every Legion member have? What other powers does the Legion Flight Ring have? What did they change Lightning Lad's name to? Who is Matter Eater Lad? What is Stone Boy's power? What makes a good Legion of Substitute Heroes story? Who is Brainiac 5? Is he related to the bad guy Brainiac? What about the version of the Legion on Supergirl really bothers John? What is Brainiac's real name? What are Nemesis Kid's powers? What was the best version of the Legion onscreen? Who does John think should be in charge of the Legion books? What are John's problems with Spider-Man? Legion Reading tips: The Great Darkness Saga, The Curse Recorded 5/31/21 via Cleanfeed

John Ordover is a man of many talents. A creative consultant, a writer, an editor, and a stand-up comic. He's even appeared as an extra in some of my favorite television shows. John also advocates for the autistic community as the father of an autistic young adult and the partner of an autistic wife. I first met John virtually while he was finishing his book Lie There and Lose Weight: How I Lost 100 Pounds by Doing Next to Nothing. I came to know John as a proud parent who celebrates his son's accomplishments instead of mourning his son's autism. As an autistic parent, I appreciate the positive attitude John brings to our community. John also happens to be the co-creator of the book series Star Trek: New Frontier. My wife and I enjoy Star Trek, so I hope to slip in a bit of Trek talk during this episode. SATURDAY, MAY 8, 2021, AT 7:45 PM CDT – 9:30 PM CDT FULLY IMMUNIZED LIVE ORDOVER!

On this week's show we discuss what kinds of stories comics are able to tell, which they do well and which they don't. John has been an editor for Star Trek novels and a writer of Star Trek comics as well as an avid reader. Who is Adam Strange? Are the Marvel heroes no fun? When was Professor X creepy in X-Men? Is interconnected continuity a bad thing? Can a shared universe be limiting? What's it like to write a comic book? What is the main function of an editor? How do the editor, writer and artist work together? What is the one mistake people make with Legion of Superheroes? What was the best part of the new Wonder Woman movie?

Make sure to continue updating and maintaining your content to draw and hold attention from viewers and potential clients. You need to learn that it is okay to say no sometimes. You don't have to say yes to every single opportunity that comes your way. LISTEN. It is key to listen to your customers concerns, ideas, etc... "If you can't win, change the game." "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, your reputation is what other people think of you, your character is who you really are when no one else is around.

Mack, Part 1: Trek. David Mack has written close to 30 Star Trek novels and stories over the course of his career. But before all of that, Mack had a hand in writing two Deep Space Nine adventures for the small screen. Along with his writing partner John J. Ordover, Mack wrote the fourth season episode, "Starship Down," and wrote the story upon which Ronald D. Moore's teleplay for season seven's "It's Only a Paper Moon" was based. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars , Mike and Max are joined by Matt of The Delta Quadrant and The Nerd Party to look at Mack's television work. We discuss "Starship Down," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and the original concept for that episode, "Everybody Goes to Quark's."

Divided We Fall. The idea of a crossover between different Star Trek series is something that appeals to many fans. But to make it work it has to feel natural, and that's just what John D. Ordover and David Mack did in their 2001 comic crossover series Divided We Fall. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing take an in-depth look at the four-part series from Wildstorm that combines characters from TNG and DS9 to tell the story of a Trill coup d'état. In our news segment we look at new cover art for James Swallow's The Stuff of Dreams, find out about a far more economical hardcover printing of Federation: The First 150 Years, check in on the release of Tony Daniel's Devil's Bargain, and find out what IDW has in store for us come May. We also dive into a lengthy discussion of HIVE #4, the conclusion to Brannon Braga's Borg comic.

Gwen Steege's new book—you can join “The Knitter’s Life List” on Ravelry or the page, and of course   The husband’s new novel and his : Andrew Ordover's novel is an entertaining introduction to a fresh new detective. Jordan Greenblatt, a Long Island transplant to Atlanta, has a smart and funny Southern wife, a group of jazz musicians for whom he plays bass, and, oh yeah, a one-man PI firm specializing in routine investigations: philanderers, insurance cheats, and other run-of-the mill cases. He also has some personal baggage that will soon be unpacked. Although he enjoys his self-described "slacker lifestyle," he is a bit bored and when a New York businessman asks him to investigate the three-year old hit and run death of his daughter, a woman whom Jordan knew as a teenager, he takes the case. Jordan's main gift as an investigator seems to be his impulsivity, and with his initial lack of either foresight or self-defense skills he manages to ruffle a lot of local feathers in what eventually becomes a very personal quest for justice. Ordover's gifts as a writer include a terrific ear for dialog, excellent pacing, and a sense of humor that is neither cynical nor snarky. He's given us an intriguing supporting cast as well, and I like his taste in classic jazz. After reading the last page I was delighted to see a teaser for a second book in the series. Although fans of feline detectives may be disappointed, I was charmed that the only four-legged cat in the book is Jordan and Susannah's pet cat, Eliot, who has a walk-on part in one scene and who appears to have absolutely no super-spidey-powers of detection.   Our GORGEOUS incentive for September/October 2011 from Marceli Botticelli's Tea Times Creations!

Possible etymologies for nosferatu: A leading alternative is that the term originally came from the "nosophoros" (*νοσοφόρος), meaning disease-bearing. 's classic film strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and Murnau's creative direction in the film may have been influenced by this etymology (or vice-versa).) and nesuferit ("the insufferable"). The nominative masculine definite form of a Romanian in the to which both words belong takes the ending "-ul" or even the shortened "u", cause in Romanian "l" is usually lost in the process of speaking, so the definite forms necuratu, nesuferitu and "nefârtatu" are commonly encountered (translatable as "the unclean", "the insufferable one", respectively "the "). What I'm reading that isn't about fangs: by Ehren Ziegler over at Chop Bard podcast recommended this and when he says "jump" I say, "what was the name of that book again."
