'bobblehead' is how Avasarela refers to him too :D

That's wonderful (except for the loss part!). Stitch really shows how much Robinson loved his role as Garak - I still have my copy from 1999, much loved and well-bent. And I love that Stitch was both one of the opening developments in the Deep Space Nine relaunch and that it has remained, through primarily the guise…

As someone said before, you should all check out the rewatch on Tor.com, written by Treklit author and editor Keith RA DeCandico. It just got to season two!

About Vaughn Armstrong's character, I always assumed he was the equivalent of a section/district chief: the station is pretty big and must have many area & squad leaders. Just as there are other doctors and other medlabs on the station, there must be other security offices and sub-chief officers: it can't all be…

The best thoughts on Garak are Andrew Robinson's own writings on him: he has him as the illegitimate son of Tain and Tain's housekeeper Mila. However, in family conscious Cardassia, no such child could be claimed. So Garak was unknowing about his true parentage until late in his pseudo-father's life. Tain wasat first…

Much loved […], Tuvok in the treklit books is put on Riker's Titan. It isn't quite as small world as it seems, and he fits very well into the ship. His wife also joins him, so we see married Vulcan life too in detail.

Robin Sachs was a memorable actor. I loved recatching up with him on Mass Effect as Zaeed!

Despite not quite being the same, I can't help but think of those lines in Brideshead about the four Indians in Oxford on a Sunday morning. I do wish there was more of a period eye in Downton…

It seemed that way, but apparently there were more ncos in TNG: http://en.memory-alpha.org/…

fortunately the tos economics are a lot less silly than the tng era ones

Ha, there is a great reference to this in the Vanguard treklit books (which are, in fact, co-written by one of the writers of Starship Down), involving the destruction of the other planet. In fact the series as a whole does a great job of filling in much of TOS and its movies' backgrounds, from Tholians to Gorkon to…

Rocks and Shoals: one of my favourite episodes too.

Definitely a brilliantly written and acted character. JG Hertzler worked with Jeffrey Lang to write a fun two-part book about his early political career after What You Leave Behind, called 'The Left Hand of Destiny'.

Gotta love martok: but there are so few youtube videos for him. There is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Don't forget, it is more than just Behr and Moore who made DS9. Indeed Moore joined the staff to learn from Behr, as he says in the DS9 companion. The writers' stable on the show was a rather exceptional working mechanism, even if not all the main producers have had luminary post-DS9 careers. Wolfe,…
