star trek

more later, but my most immediate reaction is:

( YAH SPOILER )

also i miss mark lenard's hotness:


sry ben cross you cannot compete.

aaron stempel and moar time travel!

has anyone ever seen Here Come the Brides? was aaron coded as jewish in the show, as he was in Ishmael?

btw imagine 14-yr-old me reading about here come the brides for the first time and getting very confused about how a bunch of the characters from a star trek book had been in a television show nearly twenty years before the book was ever published.

it was very good, once the spelling was corrected

everyone talking about the movie has got me thinking about star trek (obviously). i started re-reading the wounded sky last night and am thinking about ishmael and other books. i'm wondering if there's a comm for star trek novels on lj (or dreamwidth). if there isn't would anyone be interested if i made one? i love star trek in most of its iterations but in a lot of ways the novels were really my fandom, and i've been seeing a lot of people talking about the old books and reminiscing and a lot of new fans asking what books they should read and it would be nice to have a place that focused on that. plus i'm anticipating paramount wanting to make some more money off the movie and they'll probably start releasing movie-verse novels soon, and there's a lot of potential for awesome there.

i'm thinking we could have groups readthroughs as well as be a nice central place for book discussion/questions/ etc. if it already exists point me to it but if not i'd love to make it happen so there's a place for people to post about k's't'lk and scotty's epic love or compare and contrast vulcan culture in the vulcan academy murders and, say, demons or the lost years.
