"Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise?" After seven successful seasons of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” it was time for their voyage to the big screen. For the first foray into the cinemas, the TNG team pulled several key crew from the show – notably the writers and director. Unfortunately, it made for a film that felt a bit like an expanded episode of the TV series, albeit made with a bigger budget. It also is mired by one of the more convoluted elements in any of the franchise films – the Nexus. Does that make it the worst of the franchise? Or does it have merits? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Star Trek series with David Carson’s 1994 film Star Trek: Generations. We talk about the frustrations we have with this film and why the Nexus is such a problematic element within the story. We look at Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga – the two screenwriters – and ponder why they struggled so much with the concept and what they could’ve done differently to make an arguably better film. We debate the decision to bring Carson, Braga, Moore and even composer Dennis McCarthy, over from the TV show and why this decision may have lent to the small scope feel of the film. We relish in the relationship between Captain Picard and Data, notably in their conversation in Stellar Cartography, and what it brings forth in their relationship. And we complain about many other story issues we have with this film, looking at whether the issues here make it a better or worse film that Star Trek V. It’s an interesting film to discuss that’s full of frustrations and missed opportunities. Regardless, we have a great time talking about it so check out the movie (or don’t) then tune in to this week’s show! The Next Reel: when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

STAR TREK EXPERT | AUTHOR - Larry ";Dr. Trek" Nemecek is considered by most a "Star Trek" expert. He is also an: Author, Editor, Interviewer, Archivist, Host, Producer and Actor. Larry has a background in news and theatre, but it is ";Trekland" where he's worked for over 20 years. He wrote the classic ";Next Generation Companion" and the new ";Stellar Cartography" map and book set; worked on the storied ";Star Trek: The Experience" in Las Vegas and world tours, long edited "Communicator Magazine," writes in "Star Trek Mag Today" and played "Dr. McCoy" in two episodes of Geekie Award-winning ";Star Trek Continues" online. His ";Trekland" blog of vidchats and ";Trekland On Speaker" re-mastered interview CD's, bridge "Star Trek" (old and new) as does his documentary project, the 1982 meltdown-turned-miracle ";Con of Wrath." A convention guest worldwide, Larry now helps back other projects too, like the new ";Enterprise in Space" student science/sci-fi homage space orbiter. INTERVIEW QUESTIONS INCLUDE: In 1994 both you pitched and sold a script ("Reflections") for the yet to air ";Star Trek Voyager" which ended up later being updated and renamed "Prophecy" and used in the last season of ";Voyager." For all our writers listening, can you please tell us about your pitch and sell process of that script? What sets "Star Trek" apart from other sci-fi and fantasy series out there? For the longest time it was accepted that "Star Trek" never did well -- ratings-wise. But recently, it's surfaced that ratings weren't the real reason. What do you think the most likely reason was at that time? Was it political? WEBSITE: LarryNemecek.com | TrekLandBlog.com

Nemecek, Part 5: Stellar Cartography Recap. Last year saw the return of author Larry Nemecek to the world of Star Trek non-fiction with his second book, Stellar Cartography. Featuring maps by Ian Fullwood, Ali Reis, and Geoffrey Mandel, Nemecek's companion essays offer a comprehensive look at the history of the future. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and Max are joined by Larry for the second part of their two-part interview. We discuss the genesis of the book, the challenges of completing such an ambitious project in a short period of time, and how Larry made sense of the Dominion War. We also ponder how big a sector is.

Last year saw the return of author Larry Nemecek to the world of Star Trek non-fiction with his second book, Stellar Cartography. Featuring maps by Ian Fullwood, Ali Reis, and Geoffrey Mandel, Nemecek's companion essays offer a comprehensive look at the history of the future. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and Max are joined by Larry for the second part of their two-part interview. We discuss the genesis of the book, the challenges of completing such an ambitious project in a short period of time, and how Larry made sense of the Dominion War. We also ponder how big a sector is. Originally published as Commentary: Trek Stars 83: We Have a Man On the Inside.

Nemecek, Part 3: Stellar Cartography. Last year, Larry Nemecek returned to the world of Star Trek book publishing with Star Trek: Stellar Cartography, a collection of maps which chronicle the geography of the Trek universe. While the maps, created by Ian Fullwood, Ali Ries and Geoffrey Mandel, are the centerpiece of the collection, Nemecek's accompanying text is the hidden gem. It becomes a sort of history of the future, giving us a large-scale look at the events which have played out on a more personal level on the TV screen. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and Max are joined by Steve Roberts of Tribbles in Ecstasy to look at Nemecek's book. We discuss the artistry of the maps, the dense knowledge contained in the text, and how Steve is using the collection to teach his six-year old about Star Trek. 

Nemecek, Part 1: Trek. One of the greatest documentarian's of Star Trek's history is Larry Nemecek. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion is one of best books of its kind. Each and every issue of The Star Trek Communicator was must-read for fans of the franchise. And his new book, Stellar Cartography, is work of art unto itself. But Nemecek is not just a fan and historian of Star Trek. He's also a creator. Along with his wife, Janet, Nemecek wrote the story which was the basis of the seventh season Voyager episode, "Prophecy."  This week, Mike is joined by Charlynn of To the Journey! to take a look at Nemecek's episode. We discuss the fan-friendly nature of Klingons in the Delta Quadrant, how the plot device of the Klingon illness could have been handled more effectively, and how the storyline was continued in the novels. We also wonder what the difference is between a D7 and a K'Tinga.

This week, my second fun chat with Trek expert, author, actor - Larry Nemecek. We talk about his new "Stellar Cartography" book and "Star Trek: Continues" quite a bit too. Thanks again Larry & enjoy the show folks!

We welcome our interview with Larry Nemecek who is an author, editor, archivist and producer and wears these hats much of the time as a renowned Star Trek authority. He has helped provide valuable insights into the production side of the franchise, and this includes him making a great effort at recording many many interviews with the staff behind the scenes as well as the actors and actresses from the Star Trek universe. In this session of the podcast we are interviewing Larry in particular with his newest publication “Star Trek Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library”.  The Starfleet Stellar Cartography maps/book set (poster map set and guide book) is a team effort captained by Larry with artists Geoffrey Mandel, Ian Fullwood and Ali Ries (Reece) for an officially licensed updated set of stellar cartography maps and guide book published  by 47North and Becker & Mayer. This is out now and you can order the book at Amazon (UK website) here:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Stellar-Cartography-Starfleet/dp/1477805974 In this session we learn:- -How Larry's love of history has helped him map the Star Trek galaxy. -What Larry believes will impact the reader the most when they open up the map set and guide.  -How some awkward canon elements were properly fitted in, including squeezing in the Delphic Expanse. -About the maps from different races of Star Trek. -What did each of the artists Larr worked with bring to the table for this project.  -How the Dominion War (Deep Space Nine) was placed onto the maps in a way that makes sense.
