I’m SURE you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it- you sound like you know your stuff!!

There are some redshirts who are looking for a STAR TREK spank mag or something, which my book is definiely NOT. I wrote it to be taken seriously, but with humor so it’s not all preachy.

I also wrote Spock’s Guide as a free download:

Enjoy, and feel free to contact me- I’d love to hear your opinions.

I didn’t realize that Henrik didn’t understand those specific examples I mentioned. I guess I shouldn’t take certain cultural things for granted.

As for Medium Cool, holy crap, Rusty. I thought I was being too esoteric by bringing up that movie. The FilmJunk audience is definitely more saavy than I expected.

@Reed Farrington – props for Medium Cool, one of my favorite movies.

Those writers were clever. As a side note, it took Ben Stiller to point out to me the cleverness behind a name given to a librarian: Mr. Atoz.)”

That’s why I brought up the name thing. I can’t for the life of me see what the names mean.

I too fear that my age will affect how I am going to feel about it. Nothing can ever recreate the sense of awe I got when I stayed up till 2:30am at my grandmothers house to see what the hell this Star Trek phenomenon was based on.

But I must admit that some historical references and word meaning in names often go over my head. I suppose I should provide some examples here, but as usual, my mind has drawn a blank.

Henrik, I look forward to your opinions about TOS. I envy you getting to experience TOS for the first time, but I’m thinking that TOS’ charm could only be felt in the 60s and 70s with the mind of a youngster.

Are you watching the remastered series on DVD?

I guess I should dedicate more time to watching TOS – which I plan to get through in time for the new film, but have only seen 2 episodes of so far.

With Greg the naysaying voice of dissent. So I don’t think you should worry about the esoteric elements.

I want to write about the more esoteric aspects of Star Trek because most discussions about Star Trek can be very bland with every website saying the same stuff, but at the same time, I realize that Film Junk isn’t really a Star Trek site. I feel like I shouldn’t assume the reader knows too much about Star Trek so that Film Junk readers who aren’t Star Trek fans, but who are interested in J.J.Abrams upcoming Star Trek film, might get some insight into the popularity of Star Trek.

I’m glad you were blown away by City on the Edge of Forever. It’s my favourite Star Trek episode. It’s strange that the writer of the show thought that Roddenberry ruined his idea.

Total fox. Kirk always had the best taste in women…

Love the new column!
