We're taking a brief side-quest from our regular coverage of Star Trek Continues, to look at an episode of Star Trek New Voyages, because it sets up the back-story of Kirk and Carol Marcus's relationship, and I just like to throw it in there when I'm doing a re-watch of Star Trek Continues. ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven. I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd.   This is episode 105 of the podcast.   Today, we're talking about an episode of a different fan series - Star Trek New Voyages. “The Holiest Thing”   Why? I just like to throw this one in when I do a re-watch of Star Trek Continues, because it does a similar thing to Continues, that is, to help develop the story filling in the gaps between TOS and the Star Trek movies. This one introduces Kirk to a much younger Carol Marcus, for the very first time. So I figured, let's have a look at this one. Next time, we'll be back with part 1 of the finale of Star Trek Continues.   The description on IMDB reads Captain Kirk and the Enterprise investigate the devastation of Lappa III, apparently by the terraforming efforts of Dr. Carol Marcus.   This episode was written by Rick Chambers It was directed by Daren Dochterman   And it first aired on the 15th of January 2016   We start this episode in a very unexpected place. A shuttle flies past the camera. But it's not a TOS shuttle. It's an Enterprise D shuttle. We cut to the inside where we see a woman in TNG era uniform and an older Scotty. So, clearly this is set some time after the TNG episode “Relics” where a retired Scotty finds himself in the 24th century. I have to say, they cast a pretty decent look-alike for older scotty. A guy named Carl Sheldon. He hasn't done a lot of acting.   Watching this scene, I'm again reminded just how professional the acting and writing are in Star Trek Continues. Now, don't get me wrong. I love Star Trek New Voyages. They did some amazing stuff long before Star Trek Continues was a thing. But the acting, and the dialog here just isn't at the same standard as Continues.   But I want to give this show credit for set design and visual effects. What we see in this episode is great. And not all the acting feels as amateur as this first scene.   The ensign has been doing some training with Captain Scott. They're approaching the Lappa system. She asks Scotty if he's ever been there. He recalls a time in his past, when the world was still very much on the frontier. It was un-inhabited back then. At least, that's what they thought.   We then cut to the TOS present day. A scientist, who we'll shortly learn is Dr. Carol Marcus, is working to terraform this planet. Scotty is there, and in this show, he has a moustache. Another little nod to closing the gap between TOS and TMP.   Marcus says “we have Enterprise and her chief Engineer watching over our shoulder.” This is something that bugs me. That she says “Enterprise” rather than “The Enterprise.” Voyager was the first Star Trek show to drop the word “The” when referring to the ship. And I was okay with that because “The Voyager” somehow sounded wrong. In contrast to “The Enterprise” and “The Defant” which both sounded completely natural and right.   Then we got Enterprise, and on that show, they did the same thing. They called the ship “Enterprise”, not “The Enterprise” That annoyed me a little, but I got over it.   But nowadays, in Strange New Worlds, they are referring to the original starship Enterprise, the one commanded by Pike and eventually Kirk, as “Enterprise.” I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. That ship was always “The Enterprise” so that annoys me quite a bit. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Here, in New Voyages, we have the same problem. Carol is referring to Kirk's ship. It should be “The Enterprise”   Marcus told the science council she could terraform Lappa III in less than a decade. But with recent problems with the equipment, it's going to take twice that long. Both Marcus AND the council seem to be very inpatient about that, even though, as Scotty points out, it's a whole century faster than anybody else has done it before. It amuses me to see her pacing impatiently when we're talking timeframes of decades and centuries.    And centuries sounds about right for terraforming, something that, if it is actually possible, is not going to be quick.   Apparently, they're using transporter technology in a whole new way. Scotty wants to see what it's all about. Something goes terribly wrong and the lab explodes. Scotty and Marcus barely escape in their shuttle. But they crash. This was a pretty spectacular sequence.   The Enterprise crew have recovered Scotty and Marcus. Scotty is pretty banged up. Marcus is unconscious but should be out of here soon. But Kirk is very impatient to speak with her. He needs to know what happened on the outpost.   Jacy King plays Carol Marcus. Married to Brian Gross who plays Kirk. She's a good choice. She definitely looks the part, a lot more than Alice Eve did in Star Trek Into Darkness. And, of course, she doesn't have the inexplicable British accent.   I didn't see Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn at the cinema. I don't know if it even showed here in Tasmania. But I was only 4 years old. I saw the first half of it on TV, and then watched the whole thing on VHS many years later. When I watched it, it had been quite some time since I'd seen the original TV series. So I had assumed, from the way she was introduced, that we'd seen the character of Carol Marcus at some point in the past. Of course, that wasn't the case. The back-story of Kirk and Carol Marcus always seemed like this big glaring hole that demanded to be filled. So I liked that Star Trek New Voyages chose to fill that hole.   Carol is shocked and horrified to learn all her team is dead. There's no evidence of alien contact. Kirk is going to begin the investigation assuming it was an accident. Carol wants to be a part of it. She will work with Spock.   But McCoy thinks she needs to work with someone more sensitive to her current emotional needs, given her great loss. So Kirk volunteers.   Carol's terraforming technology uses transporters to re-arrange matter. Seems like a pre-cursor to the Genesis device she'll eventually create.   Scotty thought he saw a ship on sensors, but now they can't detect anything.   Spock wants to run background checks on Carol's staff, considering the possibility of sabotage. She doesn't react to this well. There is now clear tension between her and Spock. He's not sure she should accompany him to the surface, given her “emotional outbursts.”   This episode actually gives a character arc to both Marcus and Spock. Marcus, of course, is trying to figure out how to deal with the painful emotions of having lost her crew, and feeling responsible. Spock, on the other hand, has to learn how to relate to a human who is experiencing very understandable strong emotions. It's a learning experience for both.   A quick zoom out shows us that there is indeed a ship hiding in the system. It's not cloaked. It seems to be hiding in a gas cloud. It's not a familiar design. At least, it wasn't to me, in this shot, but we'll come back to that.   Kirk goes to see Marcus. He apologises for Spock. Marcus has come to agree that Spock asked the right question, she just didn't like it.   We get some insight into why Marcus is so passionate about terraforming. She talks of a famine that happened on a world. People suffered. She wanted to help. Terraforming dead worlds is an answer, but it's far too slow to be of any practical help. She is driven by compassion for people.   She sees herself becoming a mother of worlds   It's a good conversation. There's no flirting or inappropriate behaviour, as you often get from Kirk the minute he meets a pretty girl, Just 2 people getting to know each other.  They're both people with authority. They understand each other   Kir acts s little sheepish as he starts to realise his attraction to her. Maybe he's sensing that he feels more than just sexual attraction. Something deeper.   She's feeling it too   Spock and Carol beam down to investigate destruction site. We see Xon at transporter console. He is the Vulcan character created to replace Spock in the original Star Trek Phase 2 series that was cancelled in favour of Star Trek the Motion picture, because Nimoy wasn't going to be involved in that show. When it became a movie instead of a series, Nimoy agreed to return.   Star Trek New Voyages chose to bring Xon onto the Enterprise as a new character alongside Spock.   Spock and Marcus are learning to appreciate each other. Marcus seems to be a little envious of Spock's ability to suppress emotion as a Vulcan. They've found something on the planet. Not something belonging to the team. It doesn't belong there. They're bringing it aboard for analysis.   Kirk is seeking counsel from bones on how to help Dr. Marcus through what she's going through. He claims he has no romantic interest in her. That would be wrong. Interesting to see Kirk say that when nothing usually stops him. But Carol is going through a great deal of emotional pain at the loss of her friends.   Sometimes in older fiction, like Star Trek, you'll see characters who are trying to comfort someone through grief, and suddenly it becomes romantic. Like they're taking advantage of the other person. Even Star Trek 2009 did this with Uhura and Spock, but reversing the expected gender roles. It felt really odd. I'm glad to see Kirk not doing that here. His relationship with Carol Marcus is one that is important to us as fans, so it's nice to see them doing it right.   When the mysterious object causes problems with their respirators, and even Scotty can't get a lock on Carol, Kirk has a very reckless plan to rescue her. Beaming down without a respirator of his own to give Scotty something to lock onto. It's a plan that could work, but probably not something the captain of the ships should be doing.   We're clearly seeing here how much Kirk cares about her.   Fortunately, it works.   The energy reading of the debris they found looks kinda like the graphic depicting the genesis wave in Star Trek 2. But this doesn't really go anywhere.   Kirk takes carol to the arboretum She's changed into a revealing outfit. Makes me think it's a deliberate date.   Carol is thinking of giving up. Kirk doesn't think she will. She cares too much   Kirk has been there too. At what point do you say, this is enough. Kirk says he'll tell her when he gets there. He's not there yet and neither is she   The way this is written it feels much more real than most of Kirk's many romances, of which there have been many. He's not being creepy. He's not overly flirty. It's just two people getting to know each other, going deep, and forming a genuine bond. Basically it feels like a real relationship.   It's condensed for time so it'll fit into a 1 hour episode maybe, but real nonetheless.   Carol and Spock are also growing in their relationship. A professional one. We get the impression from Star Trek II that Spock knew Carol.   Here's a question. Why does Kirk think it's appropriate to talk to the admiral with his shirt off and slung over his shoulder? I wouldn't dream of talking to my boss half dressed. If I got a surprise zoom call from him, even if I was in an unprepared state, I'd throw on a shirt before I clicked accept.   Anyway, Starfleet are itching to assemble a warfleet to engage the alien ship that might not might not be there. The admiral needs Kirk to get him some real answers. Fast.   And then, of course, we get another scene where a woman walks in on Kirk shirtless in his quarters and gets embarrassed. Seems I only just talked about this an episode or two ago, so I don't have any further comments, other than to notice it happening yet again, in another fan production.   Carol has been working very hard on her investigation and hasn't eaten for 9 hours. Kirk invites her to dinner, which she readily accepts. But it very quickly becomes apparent they're not going to dinner. They have …. Other plans.   It's really not surprising to me that the actors playing Kirk and Marcus are married. You can see the genuine affection between them. I guess that's the elusive thing that people call chemistry. Whatever that is, these two seem to have it, as you'd expect from a real couple.   The next morning, Kirk is finding himself in a bit of a melancholy place, thinking about how the Captain's chair is a lonely one. It was pretty rare for ships captains in Kirk's time to marry. It was a more wild frontier. Gone from earth for years at a time. They didn't really have families on board like they did in the 24th century. That hasn't rarely bothered him with his past conquests. Perhaps because he sees a potential future with Carol.   They're heading for the dust cloud, to try to find that evidence for Starfleet. After going to warp, Sulu says “like a leap on the solar wind” which is, of course, a reference to Firefly. Not sure exactly why they added that.   Spock has found the cause of the explosion. Protomatter. This is something that is mentioned in Star Trek 3. Apparently, David Marcus, Carol's son, used protomatter in the matrix for the Genesis device. It was the only way to solve certain problems. We're told it's use is unethical because it's “dangerously unstable”   Here, in this episode, we get a bit more of an explanation of what protomatter is. It's a remnant from the creation of the universe. It can fluctuate between matter and anti-matter states. If both appeared at the same time, an explosion would occur. It seems the matrix from Carol's experiment was contaminated with protomatter. Something she acknowledged as a very minute possibility, but so unlikely as to be statistically insignificant.  Sadly, it happened.   They've found the alien ship in the dust cloud. My first thought when seeing it this time was “that looks kinda like a Ferengi ship.” The alien's weapons are no match for the Enterprise's shields. They're refusing to respond to Kirk's hails.   When we see a camera point of view from within the alien ship, we catch a glimpse of the side of their heads. It's pretty clearly Ferengi. They claim that the transformation of the planet is a hostile act. When Kirk says they weren't aware of anyone have a claim on the planet, the response is “You didn't ask,” and Spock says they have a point. But ask who? It was an empty planet. Nobody there. It was claimed by no government that the Federation is aware of. Remember, they won't make official contact with the Ferengi until TNG season 1. So it seems to me the Federation acted in good faith with all the information they had available. I don't think they could have asked anyone else.   The alien voice makes it clear they're not interested in discovery or friendship. Only profit. And then, the episode breaks continuity by having the alien not only show his face, but identify his species as Ferengi. This is a really odd move from my point of view. They already had the Ferengi communicating by voice only. And if they wanted to show the Ferengi on screen, they could have done so purely on the alien bridge Point of View. No need for Kirk to actually see them. Why they started this way and then flipped is beyond me. They'd set it up the perfect way to include the Ferengi without breaking continuity, and then they did it anyway.   Enterprise did, of course, have an episode with Ferengi, not at no point during that episode did they mention their name to Archer and his crew.   But it occurs to me now that in Encounter at Farpoint, before that official contact, Picard had at least heard the name Ferengi. So I guess they could have heard that name this early. But it always felt to me like a more recent thing. That they'd heard of this race, The Ferengi, but just hadn't met them yet.   Anyway, the Ferengi claim to have a prior commercial arrangement with the Federation. Something that is news to Kirk. And then he say a very interesting line “The only thing more expensive than a question, is the answer.” I wonder if that's a rule of acquisition. If it isn't, then it should be.   The only logical possibility is that a member of the team on the planet had made an arrangement with the Ferengi. The question is, did Dr. Marcus know about it? Kirk is quick to come to her defence, based on his knowledge of her character. But can he offer any evidence?   Carol is really struggling with having lost crewmembers. It's somewhat compromising her ability to think clearly. This is understandable. Kirk has left people under his command before. He sadly has to let her know that it never stops hurting. I like what they're doing with Carol's character in this story.   That protomatter came from somewhere. Maybe there was a black market going on behind her back she wasn't aware of.   They've detected protomatter in the Ferengi's cargo hold. Sabotage is not a logical possibility. It makes no financial sense to kill your trading partners.  The project was behind schedule. Someone could have purchased the protomatter to speed things up, and it went badly.   Kirk is going to try to bluff the Ferengi poker style to get information. Of course, it would be good for him to be aware of the Ferengi love of Tongo. It was the project director, Dr. Robert Dewhitt, who purchased the protomatter. He was as passionate about the project as Carol was. He must have been desperate.   Carol is going to start over. She's learned a lot from this experience. She knows how to make it work now. She's going to start inventing the Genesis device.   Three days later, they arrive at the nearest starbase to drop off Dr. Marcus. But first, she goes to see Kirk.   Kirk is hoping they can have dinner before parting ways, but she says no. Then Kirk proposes.   It seems pretty sudden after only a few days. But … Carol Marcus is his soul mate.   But she says no. For the reasons she gave in Star Trek 2. For them to be together, one of them would have to abandon their dream. Carol claims she can't do her research on The Enterprise. A lot of her work would require her to be on planets, but surely much of it, especially in the early days, would be lab work. Hard to see why that couldn't be done on the Enterprise. A ship of scientific exploration. Kirk offers to leave the Enterprise, leave Starfleet. But she won't let him do that. Over time, he would resent her for it. Which is possibly true.   She admits she loves him, but, but asks him to stay away. For all their sakes - all three.   And this is where it gets really unfair. She tells him she's pregnant with David, and asks him to stay away. To have absolutely no contact with his son. Ever. This is how it has to be, because this is what Star Trek 2 set up. But I believe Carol is wrong here. I believe she is hurting not only Jim, but David as well. Robbing them both of the relationship they both deserve to have.   This is heart-breaking stuff. Kirk gallantly does as Carol wishes. Honestly, I don't know how he has the strength.   This must haunt him every day for the rest of his life. It would me.   This episode relies on accepting a lot of truncated time regarding Kirk and Carol's relationship. There's no way around that when you're telling the story of the entire relationship in one episode. But I forgive it because it's a great story. A very fitting prequel to Star Trek 2.   As fun as it was, I'm not sure what the point of the framing device with TNG Scotty was, other than maybe to show that the terraforming efforts eventually succeeded and people are living there now. I would argue that it wasn't necessary, and might even distract from the episode. But It was cool either way.   But another little thing. At the beginning, Scotty says that Lappa III was uninhabited - or so we thought. I don't think they paid off that statement. We learn of no indigenous life on the planet. The closest we get to a payoff is the Ferengi, but they're not living on the planet, just trading with one of the crew. So I'm not sure what happened there.   Next time, we're going to look at the first part of Star Trek Coninue's two-part finale. “To Boldly Go.”   I'm looking forward to talking about it.   Don't forget the first three books in my Jewel of The Stars sci-fi series are available on Amazon, Kobok, Google Play, Apple, all the usual places.   Until next time Live long and prosper Make it so.

While not as memorable as the big tentpole episodes, "The White Iris" is a true classic. This is a very emotional character-driven episode that advances Kirk's arc and adds depth to a number of previous Star Trek episodes. This episode is a great example of what makes Star Trek Continues so special. ----more---- Transcript Welcomed to Nerd Heaven. I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd   This is episode 98 of the podcast.  Today, we're talking about the Star Trek Continues episode “The White Iris”   The description on IMDB reads Captain Kirk finds himself haunted by guilt from his past as the fate of an alien world hangs in the balance.   The teleplay was written by James Kerwin, Chris White, and Vic Mignogna Based on a story by Vic Mignogna and Chris White.   The episode first aired on the 29th of May 2015. This episode was dedicated to the memory of Leonard Niymoy, placing it in time just after he passed away ,which was certainly a significant and sad moment for all Star Trek fans.   Going into this one, I didn't remember the episode. Looking at the thumbnail and description on the Star Trek Continues website didn't ring any bells, but I knew I must have seen it before, because I've watched all of Star Trek Continues.   It gets right into the action from the get go. Some aliens, the Calsins, are expressing their pleasure at the invitation to join the Federation when Kirk is unexpectedly attacked from behind by one of them. He's beamed to sickbay but is suffering fatal damage to the part of the brain responsible for emotional memories.   Spock suggests an experimental drug. It hasn't even been tested yet. They don't know the dosage. Now I have a feeling that in the real world, by administering this drug to a patient, McCoy would be doing something highly unethical and probably illegal. Although Kirk does give his verbal consent.  Still, giving an untested drug that doesn't have approval to a patient has got to be a huge risk.   Kirk sees a vision of Rayna, an android woman Kirk had feelings for in the episode Requiem for Methuselah, one that I don't remember in huge detail either. Spock erased all memory of Rayna from Kirk's mind, to spare him the pain of her death. But now he remembers it all again.   After just a few seconds of receiving the medication, Kirk is himself again. And then he's straight off the bed and back to duty.   I get there's a time-critical situation on the planet, but minutes ago he was near death. Now he looks okay but he's been given a guessed dosage of an experimental drug. Who knows what kinds of side effects he might experience. I think it's kind of insane not to keep him in sickbay for observation for a while. Spock is an accomplished commander and a capable diplomat. And he can always liaise with Kirk from Sickbay. This was a big believability problem to me.   Anyway, McCoy, Scotty and Uhura marvel at how nothing can keep Kirk down.   Kirk has a lot of guilt over Rayna. In his opinion, while she started out as an android, she was human when he pushed her too far and she malfunctioned, unable to deal with the conflicting emotions inside of her.   I'm not sure that human is the right word here, but Kirk clearly saw her as a sapient being.   So Calsis, the planet they're currently orbiting, wants to join the Federation, but their sister world opposes it and will do anything, including assassinating Kirk, to prevent it. Although I do wonder how they think Kirk's murder will accomplish what they want.   The Federation is giving them a defence grid to protect their world, but Kirk is suddenly hesitant. Possibly because he's seeing another vision. Time time, a woman named Nakia. She appears to be a new character created for Star Trek Continues. Interestingly, she is named after the actress that plays her - Nakia Burrise.   Nakia is ghostly translucent. Kirk can't remember the passcode for the defence grid. He created the code himself, with the understanding he would make the final decision whether or not to give the grid to the Calsins. Nobody else knows it. See, this is why you use a password management product like KeePass.   Kirk leaves Spock in charge while he reports to sickbay for further tests.   Spock hopes that Checkov might be able to decrypt Kirk's forgotten password. It wouldn't be a very secure system if that were possible. But Checkov mentions that at the academy, he once decrypted something of Xindi origin. This is very cool as it's a reference to the Xindi who nearly destroyed Earth in Enterprise season 3, a story that took place chronologically long before TOS, but was, of course, produced long after TOS. I do appreciate these touches.   On the way to sickbay, Kirk sees a little girl in the hallways. Who is she?   So the sister planet fires a missile at Calsis. They're not mucking about. The representative is desperate for that defence network now.   Why hasn't Kirk told anyone about his hallucinations? This is an annoying trope in Star Trek. A character is undergoing something super weird but they keep it to themselves. It's pretty annoying. McCoy senses there's something Kirk isn't telling him, but Kirk is a little non-committal as to what that is. There's something wrong with Kirk's heart. It's weakening and McCoy has no medical explanation.     Spock asks Checkov if he's tried a brute force attack to guess the password. Checkov points out the computer on this device is designed to shut down on repeated failed login attempts. Well that's something. Honestly, if a brute force attack could work then Starfleet needs to fire their entire IT department, and Spock is pretty silly for suggesting it.   Kirk finally opens up about Nakia. They served together on the Farragut 13 years ago. They were very close but she died in the line of duty and Kirk blamed himself. He's never spoken of her. He thought he could forget her.   I quite like that they created a new character from Kirk's past to go alongside the older ones we've seen in the show previously. It means we're not just dwelling in nostalgia, as cool as that is, but we're also pushing things forward with new backstory. That's what sets this kind of writing apart from a lot of fan fiction. Technically, of course, this show is fan fiction, but it's of a very high quality.   I'm really curious what a psycho-tricorder detects.  There is a strong link between the biological and the mental, of course, when it comes to health. There are physiological things that affect the mind, the emotions. But a standard medical tricorder should show you all you need to know about the physiological, and how can a device like a tricorder tell you about the non-physiological aspects of mental health? It would have to be a telepathic device. Perhaps it's not so different from a standard medical tricorder, it's just configured to focus on aspects of the brain and body that are specifically related to mental health.   In any case, Kirk's emotions are being affected. He's cranky. He's giving in to emotional outbursts that he'd normally control. He's ignoring very reasonable recommendations from McCoy and Spock, and honestly, being a little paranoid.   The actres playing Edith Keeler is very well cast. She does a fantastic job of replicating Joan Collins' way of speaking.   A replacement console is days away. Sulu emphasises to Uhura to inform Spock as well as Kirk, which already shows how he's starting to lose the confidence of his crew.   Also, interesting to note that Smith is back, this time the prime universe version. So, she's probably been on the Enterprise this whole time since “Where No Man has Gone Before” which I think is cool.   The Enterprise is unable to destroy the incoming missile because it seems to have disappeared. We're never really given an explanation for this. I assume the sister planet has some form of cloaking technology on their weapons.   We get a little more insight into the cultures of these sister planets. The people of Calsis developed a spiritual culture while the others became more materialistic, and disdainful of the Calsis way.   Now this is an example of the planet of hats problem which Star Trek does so often, where an entire planet's population will share a specific personality trait. And this concept has been rightly criticised by many. But on the other hand, I think there's room for a little of it. If we look at the countries of Earth we see there are some commonly shared traits.  For example, the British people are often thought of as stiff while we Australians have a reputation for being laid back.   You could say that Americans are generally quite materialistic as a people, but some European cultures might be focussed more on family.   It's all generalisations and stereotypes which will, of course, break down, but that doesn't mean there can't be some truth to these kinds of perceptions. So I'm willing to let the episode get away with this.   Spock is meeting with McCoy and McKenna to discuss Kirk's state of mind. The physical injury is healed. His problems might be related to the experimental drug but there's no evidence of this. McKenna can't assess his mental state without Kirk's cooperation. This might be one of the big differences between physical and mental health. While patient consent is certainly a big issue in medicine, you don't need much input from the patient to set a broken leg, but you can't help a patient with mental health difficulties unless they're willing to be a big part of it.   And Kirk is certainly not willing. He dismisses McKenna to discuss the issue at hand with his officers.   The next hallucination Kirk sees is Miramanee, Kirk's late wife from the planet Amerind, where Kirk spent some extended time, having lost his memory. That episode had a number of issues, but it also dared to do some darker character stuff you wouldn't typically see in the 60s. For that, and the introduction of the mysterious preservers, I quite like The Paradise Sydrome. It's biggest flaw, of course, is that it has zero consequences. We never hear of Miramanee and her child again. It's as if Kirk is just over it. But that's more of flaw of the series, and 60s television mentality in general, than it is a flaw of this particular episode. Anyway, that's where Star Trek Continues comes in.   The little girl shows up again. I wonder if Kirk is starting to put it together yet?   McCoy is surprised to note that Spock is considering that what Kirk is seeing may be more than just hallucinations. Vulcans believe in the katra. McCoy uses an argument I've often heard. “I thought Vulcans were a people of science,” implying that being a person of science precludes a belief in anything spiritual. Spock counters this by saying “To be a people of science is to acknowledge that sometimes science points to something more. Vulcans are also a people of spirit. The two are not as contradictory as people assume.”   I think it can be argued whether this statement is consistent with Spock's character as established in TOS, but I really liked its inclusion. Star Trek usually comes from such a strictly naturalistic point of view, that it's nice when it does acknowledge the possibility of something more.   Smith reports a drag on the enterprise's flight path. I like the moment when both she and Sulu put it together at the same time and share a knowing look. This drag could be caused by the missile, and this might be their clue to locating it.   Kirk is so distracted by the ghosts of his former lovers that he can't give the order to fire. Spock very wisely gives the order himself. Technically this is a breach of the chain of command, but Kirk is clearly not himself. This was the right call.   When Kirk gives an outburst in front of everyone, addressing his hallucinations, he finally realises how compromised he has become. He should have known it a lot sooner, but that was probably another symptom of his condition. He relieves himself and hands the ship over to Spock. I mean he relieves himself of command, of course, not the other kind of relieving oneself.   The camera pans to Spock and holds there for a few seconds. He has a satisfied look on his face, but it's not because he has ambition. It's not because he wants Kirk's job. It's because his friend has finally seen the light and done what's best for him, and others.   McCoy reminds me, on purpose I'm sure, of Doctor Boyd when he brings Kirk a dose of brandy. But he needs a distraction to scan him.   His heart is working at 15% efficiency. Another arrest is inevitable. When Kirk doesn't respond to McCoy as a doctor, he tries to engage him as McCoy the friend. But Kirk doesn't believe he's not alone. He's reminded of the women he has lost. Duty first.   Kirk asks McCoy if he thinks Kirk loved those women. McCoy answers, “I think you've loved a lot of women, Jim.” Kirk does have a reputation as a ladies man. But that's not what Kirk is asking. Yes, he's had a lot of lovers in the past, but did he actually love them?   Kirk answers yes. He did love them. And he can't let them go. Bones assume Kirk was just a playboy who wanted a string of one night stands. But deep down, Kirk wants more than that. He always has. But command leaves no room for those kinds of indulgences. At least at this point in Star Trek history. By the 24th century we'll see captains marry and have families, raising them on Starships. But this is not that kind of Starfleet. Not yet.   This is where things get really interesting. Spock enters as Kirk is seeing all three women. He mind melds, and he sees them. He asks them what they want. So what does this mean? Does it suggest they are more than just hallucinations?   Can a Vulcan see another's delusions through a mind meld? I'm honestly not sure.   Delusions and hallucinations happen in the brain, in the mind, and it is the minds that are connected. Spock says they need resolution. Closure. Of a type only Kirk can offer. So he's viewing them as something more substantial.   Kirk is heading down to the planet with the console, against McCoy's recommendation. But is this different than before? He's relieved himself of duty, so Spock is currently in command, but maybe Kirk still needs to play a part in all this. If he can get better, maybe he can remember the password.   Except, that's not where he goes. So maybe I misunderstood. When he enters McKenna's quarters, there's a little moment that kind of mirrors one in the first episode, where McKenna walking in on Kirk shirtless. McKenna is hardly naked, but she does seem taken aback and kind of covers her shoulder. I think the show might be suggesting there's some mutual attraction between these two, possibly because the actors were together in real life, but from memory, that doesn't go anywhere.   Kirk doesn't know why he's here. But he's looking for answers.   McKenna thinks this isn't about resolution. It's about guilt. Kirk is the one who needs the resolution. He needs to explain to them why he failed them, which he never had the chance to do before they died.   These hallucinations give Kirk a unique opportunity that few of us ever get.   Enter the pseudo holodeck. I'd forgotten that the show revisited this. He meets the women from his past in the place where he last met them.   And he better hurry because there's 23 new tri-cobalt warheads headed for the planet.   Edith wants to know why Kirk held McCoy back from saving her. Why did he deliberately let her die. She forgives him. She understands. I think it's possible the real Edith Keeler may have understood as well. She dreamed of the world he was saving.   Next he visits the Farragut. Nakia knew the risks when she signed up for Starfleet. She doesn't blame him. She doesn't forgive him because she says there's nothing to forgive. “No more guilt, Jim”.   Back on Amerind, Kirk says his farewell to his wife, Mirramanee. He says that she, and their baby, were gifts he could never repay. And she says something interesting. One does not repay a gift. And that's true. That's what makes it a gift. “The great spirit calls us to forgiveness, of others, and ourselves.” It's a hard moment. Of all the woman Kirk has loved, Miaramanee was the longest and most committed relationship. They were married. They conceived a child together. We always remember Edith Keeler and Carol Marcus. But we forget Miramanee. We shouldn't do that.   Rayna is last, and she doesn't look impressed. This might be the hardest one of all. But then her face softens into a smile. There are no words exchanged. It seems none are necessary. It's a good performance from the actors.   It's done. Kirk has experienced closure with all of them. But he still doesn't remember the password, and Calsis only has 6 minutes.   Spock recommends withdrawal. When you have failed, there is nothing left but to try to survive.   But Kirk has another idea. Put the Enterprise in the path of the missiles with full shields. Spock surprisingly say they might be able to survive that, but they can't block all the missiles. But it's all they've got.   This is the starfleet way. You put your life on the line to protect others.   Kirk is still seeing the little girl. Perhaps that's why his memory hasn't returned He chases her through the ship. She offers him a gift. The same patterned stitching on the native american headbands from Amerind. Realisation dawns on him. This is his unborn daughter. She has no name because he never gave her one. And at this point in the episode, my heart is just shattering.   Kirk apologises to her that she never had a chance. He promises to love and remember her all the days of his life. As a father this is a very emotional moment for me to watch.   I can well believe that Kirk will think of her every day for the rest of his life. Of course, we'll never see that, because this story was written long after the TOS movies that follow it chronologically. But it would be nice to see some sign that he continues to think about her in future episodes of Star Trek Continues.   As she fades away she whispers something in Kirk's ear   Evidently, this final closure allowed Kirk to remember the code. Kirk's log entry makes that sufficiently clear. The episode doesn't need to spend any more time on it.   After seeing the technological might of the Federation, the Eritrans have requested formal peace negotiations. That's a good outcome.   We come to understand later, that Irises, the word that Kirk's daughter whispered in his ear, was the password.   Kirk is now sold on the need for a ship's counsellor. He has approved a dedicated office for McKenna. I guess she had to use her quarters beforehand. You need privacy for her kind of work. It turns out, the password was likely inspired by the painting by Vincent Van Gough. It is said he only painted one of the irises white because he was lonely. Just like Kirk. If that's what he chose for his password it shows just how lonely he really does feel.   The episode closes with McCoy suggesting that the part of Kirk's heart that wouldn't give up belongs to another lady. The obvious meaning to this would be the Enterprise. She has always been Kirk's lady. But I couldn't help but think about Carol Marcus. The other great love of Kirk's life who wasn't mentioned in this episode. Probably because he hasn't met her yet. In fact, another fan series, Star Trek New Voyages, did an episode that told the story of Kirk and Marcus's first meeting. I'm kinda tempted to add that episode into the mix as we're going through Star Trek Continues.   I can't believe I didn't remember this episode, though it started to come back as I watched it. This is a beautiful character piece. It helps to solve one of the big problems of TOS, lack of continuity. This episode provides consequence and continuation to some important emotional beats for Kirk in previous episodes. And much like how Avengers Endgame made some of the weaker Marvel movies more meaningful in retrospect, this episode adds power to those previous Star Trek episodes. So I think this is a triumph. Star Trek Continues actually reminds me a lot of Enterprise season 4. It seems to be trying to do a similar thing.   Next time, we'll be travelling through time with another episode that I don't remember much about. Divided We Stand.   In the meantime, have a great two weeks. Live long and proper Make it so.

Sad news today, December 3rd. Yesterday, we lost Star Trek giant D.C. Fontana. She passed away peacefully at the age of 80, reportedly after a short illness.As a young girl of 11, Dorothy Catherine Fontana decided she wanted to become a novelist. After getting an Associate Degree as an Executive Secretarial major at Fairleigh Dickinson University, she worked her way up through the typing pool to quickly become the secretary to Samuel Peeples of Screen Gems, then to producer Del Reisman of the Lieutenant where she met and became secretary to that show’s creator Gene Roddenberry.Roddenberry encouraged her writing, and in 1964, she published her first novel, a western Brazos River.After The Lieutenant was canceled, Roddenberry started work on Star Trek, and Fontana came with him. She worked on it since the beginning of development. Associate producer Robert H. Justman encouraged Roddenberry to give her more writing tasks, and Roddenberry assigned her the job of writing the teleplay for an idea he had called "The Day Charlie Became God"—the premise of which she wrote into her reworked script for the episode that became "Charlie X". Other Original Series episodes she had a hand in writing or re-writing:"Tomorrow is Yesterday", "This Side of Paradise", "Friday’s Child", "Journey to Babel", "By Any Other Name", "The Ultimate Computer", "The Enterprise Incident", "That Which Survives", and "The Way to Eden" among others…When Steve Carabatsos, the story editor, left the production midway through the first season, she became the new story editor. At the age of 27, Fontana was the youngest story editor in Hollywood at the time, and also one of the few female staff writers. She left the story editor position before the third season went into production: "I had told Gene Roddenberry that I did not wish to continue on Star Trek as story editor because I wanted to freelance and write for other series. I did, however, want to continue to do scripts for Star Trek. Gene was agreeable to this, and I was given a contract in February of 1968 which called for a guarantee of three scripts, with an option for three more. Whenever anyone has asked why I chose to leave Star Trek's story editorship, I have always given this reply." However, Fontana was very unhappy with the rewrites done on her third season scripts, including "The Enterprise Incident" and "The Way to Eden" (originally submitted as "Joanna" by Fontana, featuring Doctor McCoy's daughter). She was unhappy with the way Roddenberry re-wrote the episodes they wrote together. She used the pseudonym "J. Michael Bingham" for "The Naked Now", as she was especially unhappy with the episode.Another of Fontana's contributions to The Original Series was her discovery and introduction to Gene Roddenberry of costume designer William Ware Theiss. She was an active contributor to the officially endorsed fanzine Inside Star Trek, for which she conducted interviews with several key production staffers, most notably the one with Theiss, the only published one on record.Over the years, she maintained a working relationship with Roddenberry, serving as his assistant on The Questor Tapes, Genesis II, and was hired as story editor and associate producer on Star Trek: The Animated Series. "Yesteryear".She would also work on The Fantastic Journey, Logan’s Run, Six Million Dollar Man, Buck Rogers of the 25th Century, The Waltons, and finally back to Star Trek where she worked up the initial concept for the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation: “Encounter at Farpoint” earning a Hugo Award nomination, co-invented the "LCARS" concept, and wrote four other episodes of the season, “The Naked Now”, “Lonely Among Us”, “Too Short a Season”, and “Heart of Glory”, before departing (along with all the Original Series production staff) due to the meddlings of Roddenberry's lawyer, Leonard Maizlish.She also returned to write DS9: "Dax", her last “canon” involvement with Star Trek, in which a great deal of Jadzia Dax' backstory was fleshed out. She would also go on to write for Babylon 5, Earth: Final Conflict, and then wrote the stories of the video games Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury (unreleased), Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Tactical Assault all with Derek Chester, and an episode of the fan production Star Trek: New Voyages, the episode "To Serve All My Days" in 2006, on which she worked alongside Jack Treviño and Ethan H. Calk. FictionShe wrote the Star Trek novel “Vulcan's Glory” (1989) and the IDW comic series “Star Trek: Year Four - The Enterprise Experiment”.Leonard Nimoy credited her for expanding Vulcan culture within Star Trek. As Star Trek fans, we owe a tremendous debt to D.C. Fontana. Without her, Star Trek might never have been as successful as it ultimately has been. If you doubt, realize that gene Roddenberry understood it himself. It’s why he kept asking her back and making her story editor and associate producer. She got it. She got it enough to craft integral backstories for, time-tested fictional characters and cultures. She was a bad ass and a trailblazer for other women. Most recently, she worked as a senior lecturer at the American Film Institute, where she mentored aspiring screenwriters, producers, and directors. She is survived by her husband, Oscar-winning visual effects cinematographer Dennis Skotak, and her family asks for memorial donations to be made to the Humane Society, the Best Friends Animal Society, or to the American Film Institute.Until next time, go watch or read something D.C. Fontana had a hand in, and do like Dorothy: Live long. Prosper.

Bantam began publishing Star Trek books in 1967 with the first James Blish episode adaptation, today known as Star Trek 1.  Of course, the Blish books were a huge success in the 1970s. After Star Trek the Animated Series left the air, Bantam began publishing the Star Trek Log series written by Alan Dean Foster.  These were episode adaptations of the Saturday morning show. But writing and publishing original stories on a regular basis hadn’t begun yet. Prior to 1976, there had only been one original Star Trek novel.  That was Spock Must Die! by James Blish released in 1970. Bantam Takes a Chance It’s hard to imagine today, but there was a time when book publishers were not sure that Star Trek fiction would sell.  It had been six years since the release of Spock Must Die! but the editors at Bantam saw the growing Trek phenomenon in the 1970s and editor Fred Pohl decided to take a chance at original Star Trek fiction. Strange New Worlds Their first attempt could be compared to just sticking a toe in the water to see how fiction would be received by fans.  Bantam decided to publish several short stories or novellas in an anthology.  What made Strange New Worlds so unique is that the stories were written by fans.  It is possibly the first time that fan fiction was ever professionally published. The editors wanted to make this collection even more special, though.  So they invited Gene Roddenberry to contribute a foreword and also asked each cast member to write an introduction to one of the stories. It is the only time the actors were involved with the novels in this way. Bantam's Star Trek Novels Strange New Worlds was a success and it emboldened Pohl to authorize professionally written fiction.  The result was 12 original novels and one more anthology released between 1976 and 1981.  Those books are: Spock Messiah! by Theodore R. Cogswell and Charles A. Spano Jr. - September 1976 The Price of the Phoenix by Sondra Marshank and Myrna Culbreath - July 1977 Planet of Judgement by Joe Haldeman - August 1977 Star Trek: New Voyages 2 (anthology) edited by Sondra Marshank and Myrna Culbreath - January 1978 Vulcan! by Kathleen Sky - September 1978 The Starless World by Gordon Eklund - November 1978 Trek to Madworld by Stephen Goldin - January 1979 World Without End by Joe Haldeman - February 1979 The Fate of the Phoenix by Sondra Marshank and Myrna Culbreath - May 1979 Devil World by Gordon Eklund - November 1979 Perry's Planet by Jack C. Haldeman II - February 1980 The Galactic Whirlpool by David Gerrold - October 1980 Death's Angel by Kathleen Sky - April 1981 Pocket Books Takes Over In 1979, Paramount decided to not to renew with Bantam and awarded Pocket Books with its publishing license.  In fact, the novelization for Star Trek The Motion Picture was released in 1979 by Pocket Books, even though Bantam would continue to publish novels under its contract through 1981. Bantam’s last Star Trek book, Death's Angel, was published in April 1981.  Pocket Books released its first novel in its new Star Trek line, The Entropy Effect, just two months later. Looking Back... The Bantam novels were significant to the Star Trek franchise because they were the first real attempt at publishing professional fiction.  The 12 novels proved that their was an audience hungry for Trek stories and that they would buy!  They are also responsible for lighting the fuse that lead to the explosion in content in the 1980s, '90s, 2000s and beyond! The gamble that Bantam made in 1976 paid off!

Rundown: We’re doing visit Dorking Out Studios and talk about some movie franchises that we’d like to see reboots. I think our picks will surprise you. One of the awesome things about Dorking Out Studios the complete lack of sexual abuse and harassment, which brings me to our second segment. Sexual abuse and sexual harassment: Is every man in Hollywood awful? We’re going to talk about it. And finally, Smith and our Star Trek experts Jeff Bond and Alexandra August talk about Sunday night’s Chapter 1 finale of “Star Trek: Discovery." Topic 1: Remakes, Reboots and Revivals... What we'd remake if given the chance Chris' Intro: A persistent theme on the show is remakes, reboots, revisits and revivals when it comes to the stories in pop culture we love. What separates something that could be a worthwhile reboot/remake, like The Thing, or Cape Fear, Oceans 11,  3:10 to Yuma or Casino Royale, and what makes something blasphemous, like a Casablanca, ET, The Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Back to the Future, Jaws or Airplane? We thought we'd hash it over then offer up our own ideas for rebooting existing properties we’d like to see. I suspect one or both will get us quite a bit of heat and hate mail, and I’m somewhat counting on it. Sonia: The Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight) Chris: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?! Well, give a look at Captain America: The First Avenger again...) Topic 2: OK, let’s talk about it: Sexual harassment in Hollywood, or how is Michael Bay not on this list segment?! Sonia's Intro: I don’t even know where to start with this one, so I’ll just start right here. For several weeks it has been nonstop raining sexual harassment allegations. Every day, another member of show business, whether it’s an actor, a writer, a director, a movie producer, is being accused of sexual harassment and sexual abuse. It’s a long list, but here’s just the ones I thought of off the top of my head and I’m leaving off the politicians like, you know, the President of the United States: Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner, Bryan Singer, James Toback, Louis CK, Andy Dick and Dan Schneider. Oh, and let’s throw Bill Cosby, Woody Allen and Mel Gibson on this list, too. Every day I hear that another story is coming out and I think to myself, “Oh god. Please don’t be Weird Al Yankovic. He seems so nice.” I’m so proud of these brave women and men for sharing their stories. And to the people that say that they are just sharing their stories for publicity, “Go f*** yourself.” It’s not easy to tell these stories. There are much easier ways to get publicity. These stories make me so angry and so sad, but I’m glad that the truth is coming out. And these are just the actions of men in powerful positions.

John Carrigan Talks Life in the Empire.

An actor, author, and martial arts expert, John Carrigan began his acting career when he was personally encouraged by Gene Roddenberry to seek out new goals, forge new opportunities, and—if he really wanted to—sit in the captain’s chair. According to Gene, it was all there for the taking. In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Tony Robinson talks to Carrigan about his amazing tales of defending a young lady from potential harm, bringing the Klingon Captain Kargh to life in the Star Trek: New Voyages episode “To Serve All My Days,” and carrying out the orders of the Empire.

Rundown: In this week’s episode, we review KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE, which topped the weekend box office with $39 million. We also talk about ATOMIC BLONDE and wonder if the spy genre is at a crossroads. Are either of these movies any good, and are they the next James Bond? I think Smith and I do not agree on the answers to those questions. In our second segment, friend of the show Mike Richman, our favorite hobbyist historian joins us to talk about the new Ken Burns documentary series THE VIETNAM WAR. And in our final segment, we kick off our weekly recaps and roundtable discussion with Jeff Bond and Alexandra August about STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, which premieres Sunday night. We’ve been talking about this show for more than year. Topic 1: Kingsman, Atomic Blondes and the Spy Genre? On Friday,KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE, the sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s irreverent spy hit of 2015 opened to mild reviews and we will have our review in a minute. But in this segment we also wanted to talk about this summer’s ATOMIC BLONDE, Charlize Theron’s entry into the genre once, and maybe still, ruled by James Bond 007. Blonde was directed by David Leitch, who also co-directed the energetic gunfight movie JOHN WICK. That movie struck a lot of action fans as a fun, modern take on the gentleman spy/hitman genre. But this also comes after JASON BOURNE flamed out last year (remember that was a thing?), and Atomic Blonde, while lauded, underperformed at the box office. So, agents, your mission today is to discuss the current state of the spy movie genre. Topic 2: Ken Burn’s Vietnam War One of the problems we don’t talk about much on this show is, well, it’s a show about stories we love. And some weeks, it’s just stories we like. Or stories we watched, or read, or listened to, and frankly they were fine for passing the time, but they didn’t leave us with anything that lingered. And stories that linger is why we love stories in the first place. But last week legendary documentarian Ken Burns released, along with co-director Lynn Novick, THE VIETNAM WAR, a 10-part, 18-hour examination of America’s involvement in that war. Parts six through 10 started last night and will run through this Thursday on PBS. I’m showing my cards here and saying like his previous great achievements in filmmaking, THE CIVIL WAR, THE ROOSEVELTS, MARK TWAIN, BASEBALL and JAZZ maybe better than all of those, and I’ve discussed the impact THE CIVIL WAR had on me, this series is maybe the best documentary on an American subject I’ve ever seen. To discuss, we brought back friend of the show Mike Richman, co-host of NOR CAL NEWS NOW but more importantly our favorite hobbyist historian. Status Check: Star Trek: Discovery Episodes 1 and 2 Joining us today to talk about it are two people who will be talking Star Trek Discovery every week. First up is Jeff Bond, my favorite living pop culture critic. He wrote the book on STAR TREK MUSIC, has helped release the amazing STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES COMPLETE SOUNDTRACK boxed set, he even played Dr. Leonard H. 'Bones' McCoy on the late, great STAR TREK: NEW VOYAGES. This December his new book, The Art of Star Trek: The Kelvin Timeline will be released and I will be reading by noon on Christmas day. Also joining us is Alexandra August, one of the quickest, funniest pop culture commenters we know, Alexandra August.

Show Rundown: We welcome our Star Trek Jeff Bond and maybe Alexandra August (we kid) to join us in a talk about what STAR TREK means to us as a lead up to STAR TREK DISCOVERY which premieres this Sunday! We’re going to be doing weekly recaps and discussions after each episode, so consider this your warm up. In our second segment, Todd Bishop, co-founder of Geek Wire and our old boss at The Orion, the weekly newspaper at Chico State, joins us to talk about Silicon Valley-ing of Hollywood: How Silicon Valley is impacting storytelling. And finally we end our show with a quick recap of Sunday night’s Emmy Awards. What were our favorite moments? Least moments? And why is this one show that’s supposed to celebrate the best TV has to offer the most boring thing on TV? Topic 1: The Meaning of Star Trek and Preview of Star Trek: Discovery w/Jeff Bond and mentions of Alexandra August Star Trek, to put it simply, is the bedrock of science fiction for millions around the world. Many of us were first introduced to the magic and wonder of science fiction storytelling by Gene Roddenberry’s unkillable show decades ago, and ever since every aspect of genre storytelling has been their influenced by the adventures of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, or their successors, like Picard, Data and Riker, or Sisko, Odo and Kira, or Janeway, Chakotay and Seven, or Archer, T’Pol and Trip. Or back again to Kirk, Spock and McCoy from the new movies. All of this is introduction to our discussion of Star Trek, and our upcoming episode by episode reviews of Star Trek Discovery starting next week and this simple question: Is Star Trek still a thing? Joining us today to talk about it are two people who will be talking Star Trek Discovery every week. First up is Jeff Bond, my favorite living pop culture critic. He wrote the book on STAR TREK MUSIC, has helped release the amazing STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES COMPLETE SOUNDTRACK boxed set, he even played Dr. Leonard H. 'Bones' McCoy on the late, great STAR TREK: NEW VOYAGES. This December his new book, The Art of Star Trek: The Kelvin Timeline will be released and I will be reading by noon on Christmas day.   Topic 2: Silicon Valley Disrupts Storytelling w/Todd Bishop of GeekWire.com To talk to us about how the Silicon Valley will be changing and remaking the stories you watch, we’re bringing in an old friend the Award Winning Journalism program at California State University, Chico. Don’t laugh. That’s Todd Bishop. Since graduating with Sonia and I, he’s gone onc to become a hell of a journalist… one out of three ain’t bad… covering Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, modern technology all from the tech news website he co-founded, GeekWire.com. So Todd, welcome to Dorking Out.   Topic 3: Emmy Awards 2017 Reactions   Find The Dorking Out Show here...

It's official: Star Trek fan films now have rules guidelines. And while some fans are balking at the "draconian" measures set forth by CBS and Paramount, others recognize that it's a new common starting point that gives all fan productions a level playing field. Michael Hinman, editor-in-chief of 1701News, and Carlos Pedraza, editor of AxaMonitor, join our panel in an examination of the new fan film guidelines that have been announced in the wake of the lawsuit against Axanar. Will this have a chilling effect on fan films? Will it foster a new round of creativity and innovation? The panel: Michael Hinman, Carlos Pedraza, Ann Laabs, Sonya Rodriguez, Kathryn Sanders, Dave Margosian, Jason Hunt

Shooting the Axanar Heroes Vignettes. As a bridge to Axanar, Robert Meyer Burnett and Alec Peters paid a visit to the Star Trek New Voyages sets to shoot the “Heroes” vignettes together with James Cawley. It was an exciting production involving people from five different Star Trek fan films. And in this episode of the official Axanar podcast, Rob and Alec recount the experience, talk about how the vignettes tie into Axanar, and what it was like to work on that amazing reproduction of the Enterprise 1701. In addition, we bring you an update on the Axanar set construction, costume design and development, Garth’s wraparound tunic, and debate the difference between Trekkie and Trekker.

James Cawley talks Star Trek, Phase II, and Axanar. He’s the one who showed us all the way. Star Trek fan films and independent productions are flourishing today, but more than a decade ago James Cawley set forth as a true pioneer.

Cawley truly is the father of Star Trek fan films.  In this episode of the official Axanar podcast, hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Alec Peters are joined by James to discuss why he decided to create his own stories, the experience of shooting new Star Trek, what makes a great fan film, what he has planned for the 50th anniversary and beyond, and his advice to Axanar.  In our news segment, Alec and Rob recount Axanar’s awards haul from Treklanta, the now-available digital download of Prelude to Axanar, more perks, an update on bridge construction, and more!   Hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Alec Peters   Guest James Cawley   Editor and Producer Christopher Jones   Associate Producer Norman C.

Star Trek: Phase II. As Star Trek fans in 2014, we have many wonderful independent series to enjoy. But it wasn't always that way. Back in April 2003, Jack Marshall and James Cawley created Star Trek New Voyages and were the first to bring Kirk, Spock, and the missions of the Enterprise 1701 back to the screen. In February 2008, they redubbed the series Star Trek: Phase II, the title of the planned but never produced television series from the late 1970s. Since its inception as New Voyages in 2003, Phase II has produced nine episodes—"Come What May," "In Harm's Way," "To Serve All My Days," "World Enough and Time," "Blood and Fire" (a two-parter), "Enemy: Starfleet," "The Child," and "Kitumba"—along with three vignettes—"Center Seat," "No-Win Scenario," and "Going Boldly." Some familiar faces have also appeared in guest roles in these episodes, including Walter Koenig, George Takei, Barbara Luna, and David Gerrold. But the best is yet to come. In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined today by Brian Gross, who plays Kirk, Brandon Stacy, who plays Spock, writer Rick Chambers, 1st AD Dennis Hotson, Gaffer and Line Producer Robert Mauro, and Production Assistance at resident Trekspert Jaime Sanchez to learn about cast and crew changes, the new 13,000-square-foot facility and new sets, the next three episodes, and more.   Send us your feedback!
