Sorry I'm so late to respond… I somehow overlooked this. Shatner's Alter Ego, this is the one time I'm actually glad to have made a punctuation mistake!

Thanks for alerting us to the awesomeness of Route 66 titles. I've never watched the show, but it was interesting to learn that William Shatner and Dee Kelley starred in the show and that George Clayton Johnson had a writing credit. (This is, nominally, a Star Trek thread, after all. )

I know what you mean about syndication. I'm 37 now, and I first saw the syndicated episodes out-of-order… unless by sheer coincidence they were ever broadcast in order. Also, has anyone mentioned the subject of syndication cuts? The Nitpicker's Guide addresses the issue in a typically, and entertainingly, plenary…

Naah, this isn't as bad as "The Alternative Factor."

The Vonda N. McIntyre Trek books are all great. Haven't read most of the non-Vonda library, but I have read some of the prose-ports (a better term than 'novelizations' since these didn't usually constitute entire novels) of TOS and TAS episodes. Good overall, but nothing like McIntyre's work.

The first Star Trek episode I ever saw was "Obsession." Appropriate title, that. Toward the beginning of the episode there's a crane shot of some dead redshirts who have just been exsanguinated (or whatever the word is) by the vampire cloud. That's the first moment of Trek I ever saw. I was four years old,…

Comma in the wrong place. That's sposta say ' Captain Pike chair, '

Robin Curtis was way better as Saavik, I think. In the novelization (recommended reading, BTW), Saavik is Peter Preston's tutor in addition to her other duties. I remember back in grade school having difficulty visualizing Kirstie Alley actually being helpful or smart or tutoring anyone. Saavik as a character,…

Wait—Cally, you mean?

I would not rule out the possibility. Maybe there will be a cameo from Pecos, absent from Buckaroo Banzai. (Probably not.)

Didn't quite live up to my expectations, but I liked it anyway.
The new "V" didn't quite live up to my expectations, but I liked it anyway. For all its budgetary shortcomings, the original 1980s "V" miniseries was pretty darned awesome. I'd defy anyone to argue that it wasn't well-written, at least by television…

And another thing too: maybe the annoying kid is also a rewrite of Donovan's son.

Agreed. I still liked "New V" anyway. I'm prepared to keep watching.

The annoying kid seems to be an amalgam of Daniel Bernstein (aimless teen, joins the Visitor youth) and Robin Maxwell (falls in love with a Visitor, eventually gives birth to his hybrid babies), characters in the original "V". This makes sense, somehow: at least so far, new "V" has fewer characters than old "V".
