Star Trek: Mission's End by Ty Templeton My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is probably the 4th ending to the original series that I've read or seen on screen (through some fan film.)  Interesting. It keeps with the Strange New Worlds, New Life, and New Civilizations theme.  The mission aliens were not humanoid, they weren't even warp-capable on their own,

Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor by John Byrne My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this more than I thought I would :-)  Basically, it's Dr. McCoy's adventures in the year that the Enterprise gets a refit between the end of the series and the motion picture. There were some interesting connectors here and there, but true to the original series it's much more

The City on the Edge of Forever #5 by Harlan Ellison My rating: 5 of 5 stars More of a review for the entire series than just this one issue. Interesting story. I don't recall if in the episode the substance abuse was so prevalent (or even a factor at all). It's interesting to see the difference between the TV show (guardian of forever/gateway) vs the comic as far as the time travel

Star Trek: Gold Key Archives, Volume 5 by Arnold Drake My rating: 2 of 5 stars Not bad, if you consider that it's a product of its time. The "Death of a Star" story reminded me a bit of elements of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda with the whole avator of the sun this :) View all my reviews

Star Trek: Gold Key Archives, Volume 4 by Arnold Drake My rating: 3 of 5 stars Mummies, forgotten asteroids, and brain dumps into cylon-like bodies. Yup. It's more 60s Star Trek comics! View all my reviews

Star Trek: Gold Key Archives Volume 2 by Len Wein My rating: 2 of 5 stars OK, this is a product of its time. It's more like Flash Gordon with a Star Trek gloss. Some of the odd things in this volume: space voodoo. Space hippies (to be fair, this was also true in TOS), punchcards and tapes and computer storage, a "brain drain" device (along with Spock's Brain, before Spock's Brain!).

Star Trek Romulans The Hollow Crown - 2008 by John Byrne My rating: 4 of 5 stars An interesting continuation of the story that started in Romulan Schism where you see the Klingon's plot of circumventing the Organian Peace Treaty. Overall and interesting story, but I feel like Klingons and Romulans lack a bit of depth. For all the honor being touted by the proponents of the Klingon

A new episode of Star Trek Continues is out! Sad that there are only 2 more left... :-/

Earth-centered starfleet? nope! It's the entire galaxy! (original archive here)
