It’s the end of September, and time once again to review the Star Trek comics from the past thirty days! This month, we have four new issues to discuss: Star Trek: Red Shirts #3, Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #1, Star Trek: Lower Decks #11, and the much-anticipated Star Trek: The Last Starship #1!

Positively Trek 312: History is Written by the Victors
Star Trek: Khan Episodes 1 and 2
Khan Noonien Singh has long been thought of as the quintessential Star Trek villain. But is the view of him we get in “Space Seed” and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the whole picture? Or is there more to this larger-than-life man of history for us to discover?
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry dive into the first two episodes, “Paradise” and “Scheherazade,” of Star Trek: Khan, a new dramatic podcast written by Kirsten Beyer and David Mack from a story by Nicholas Meyer. We talk about the history of the project, the writing, the cast, and the story, as well as where we think the series is going to go in the coming weeks!

Positively Trek 307: The Camera Itself Becomes a Character
“What Is Starfleet?” - Strange New Worlds 3x07
Is a Federation just an empire by another name? Is a Starship actually just a Warship cloaked in colloquialism? Newly-declassified archival footage has recently been unearthed: a documentary filmed in the mid-23rd century that aims to answer the question: “What is Starfleet?”
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss episode 7 of season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: “What Is Starfleet?” We talk about historical analogues to Starfleet, a unique way of telling a story, the Enterprise’s unorthodox mission, what Starfleet means to the crew of the Enterprise, and what happens when a documentarian becomes the focus of his own documentary.

Positively Trek 294: From Star Trek’s Worst to Star Trek’s Best
“And the Children Shall Lead” and “The City on the Edge of Forever”
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take their cues from one of Dan’s favourite new podcasts: The Best Worst from hosts Meg Bashwiner and Joseph Fink. In their new show, they talk about the worst and best episodes from a classic television series as determined by the IMDB ratings. Their rules dictate that the series in question must have at least 100 episodes, which means they won’t be covering Star Trek: The Original Series! We hope to cover that oversight with this homage to their wonderful podcast as we discuss the classic Trek episodes “And the Children Shall Lead” and “The City on the Edge of Forever.”

Positively Trek 292: 19th Century Technobabble
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
As Star Trek fans, we often see our favourite franchise reflected in books, films, and other media that isn’t, strictly speaking, “Star Trek.” One such example is the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, adapted from the Captain Jack Aubrey novels by Patrick O’Brian. With its 19th century nautical setting, Master and Commander contains much of the DNA of other influences that eventually found their way into Star Trek, including the majesty and adventure of a highly-trained crew on a ship pushing the boundaries of exploration on the edge of the frontier.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan talk about Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, commenting on the many parallels it has with Star Trek, cementing it as the second best Star Trek film (after, of course, Galaxy Quest)!

Let’s Say Something Nice About Trek We Don’t Like
This is Positively Trek, so we figure we should live up to our name! In this episode, hosts Dan and Barry are straining the limits of our positivity in order to say something nice about Star Trek episodes and films that we don’t really like. Some of them we kind of damn with faint praise, but there’s always something to like in almost every episode of Star Trek!

Positively Trek 283: The First Week of September, 2024
The Week Everything Changed - “Past Tense” Parts 1 & 2
It’s the morning of Monday, September 3rd. Podcasters Dan and Barry have decided to record Positively Trek in the early morning hours before work. However, they don’t realize that events have taken place thousands of kilometers away that will change everything forever, thanks to one man: Gabriel Bell.
In this episode of Positively Trek, we’re doing something a little different in honor of the impending Bell Riots and the upending of life as we know it! The first half of this episode is a bit of an improv exercise in which we live through the events of September 1-3, 2024 in the Star Trek universe. In the second half, we talk about the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes “Past Tense” parts 1 & 2 and the real world implications of the story.

Positively Trek 282: Star Trek in the Wild
Making Trek Connections in Unexpected Places
Sometimes as Star Trek fans, it can feel like we’re all alone in our fandom. Certainly, online spaces have changed this quite a bit, but in our day-to-day lives, it often feels like we are the only Star Trek fan around. But then, the unexpected happens and you make a surprise connection with another Trekkie, Trekker, or casual Star Trek fan, and it suddenly feels like you’ve made a friend for life!
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss those times when we’ve made surprise connections with fellow Star Trek fans “in the wild.” We also talk about some stories that were shared with us in the Star Trek Forever Facebook group!

Positively Trek 281: Book Club: Martha Landon Does Do a Judo Flip
Greg Cox - Lost to Eternity
In 1986, Dr. Gillian Taylor of the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito, California, seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth. In 2024, a true crime podcaster tries to get to the bottom of the nearly 40 year-old cold case. In 2268, a missing scientist threatens to spark open war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. And in 2292, three galactic powers vie for the favor of the advanced and ancient Osori civilization. What do these events all have in common? And how will they help solve the longest missing-persons case in the history of Star Trek?
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, Dan Gunther is joined by guest host Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi in welcoming author Greg Cox to the show to discuss his latest novel: Star Trek: The Original Series: Lost to Eternity. We talk about the three different time periods that make up the story and share our thoughts on the novel. The first part of the episode is spoiler-free, but be warned: we get into spoilers later on, so listener beware!

Positively Trek 279: Book Club: Why Can’t We Have the Bajoran Orb of Candy Canes?
Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Echoes
The V’Ger incident has left Kirk in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise, shirking his responsibilities back at Starfleet Command to remain aboard the ship for her shakedown cruise. The cruise is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a doppelganger of Nyota Uhura from a parallel universe, on a mission to apprehend a man responsible for multiple genocides. Kirk and his crew must team with this alternate Uhura to stop a man who looks exactly like Chekov before he allies with the Romulans to develop a devastating weapon!
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi discuss the 5-issue miniseries Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Echoes from IDW! We talk about all five issues, what we liked and didn’t like, and share our thoughts on the miniseries as a whole.

Positively Trek 278: Beautiful Star Trek Starships
Our Favorites, and the People who Designed Them
Over the past 58 years, Star Trek has presented us with a gorgeous vision of the future. A huge part of that Trek aesthetic is the design of the starships that carry their crews boldly to the stars. From the very beginning with Matt Jefferies’ iconic design of the U.S.S. Enterprise, every starship that has come after has carried on the legacy of his original work of art.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss the starships of Star Trek. We talk about our favorite designs, as well as the people whose hard work went into bringing them to life on our screens. We also discuss other modes of transportation within the Star Trek universe, and expand our discussion to ships of other notable franchises.

Positively Trek 277: Book Club: Curiosity Killed the Cat … But Satisfaction Brought it Back!
Star Trek: Celebrations
While the Star Trek universe has recently made great strides in pushing the current societal boundaries of representation and inclusion, it hasn’t always done so. However, with the current slate of new Star Trek shows since the debut of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017, the slate of LGBTQ+ characters is so great that a new comic issue celebrating Trek’s queer community can’t even fit all of them in!
In celebration of Pride Month, IDW has released Star Trek: Celebrations, a one-shot comic issue featuring a few of Star Trek’s greatest LGBTQ+ characters, and in this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi are taking a look at the stories that comprise this comic! We discuss five short comic stories featuring Hikaru Sulu, Raffi Musiker, Seven of Nine, Christine Chapel, Paul Stamets, Jett Reno, and Beckett Mariner. We hope you enjoy the discussion, and we also hope you had a great Pride Month!

Positively Trek 274: Breaking Bread with Starfleet Officers
Food and Drink in the Star Trek Universe
Throughout its 58-year history, food and drink has played a significant role in the Star Trek universe. Food can be a cultural touchstone, from the Klingons and their gagh, bloodwine, and rokeg blood pie, to the Vulcans and their plomeek soup, and the Bajorans with their very spicy hasperat. Peace treaties can be hammered out over the dinner table. Captains can search living nebulas for coffee. And a certain Talaxian can cook for his crew in the ultimate expression of love.
In this episode of the Positively Trek podcast, hosts Barry and Dan share their thoughts on the role of food and drink in Star Trek. The discussion ranges from what the Klingons’ disgust of cooked food says about their culture, to what Janeway’s love of coffee says about her, and even talking a bit about our favorite chefs over the years. So grab a raktajino, try your best to order a hot, plain tomato soup from the replicator, and join us for a discussion that’s sure to make you hungry!

Positively Trek 273: Book Club: The Story We Didn’t Know We Wanted
Dayton Ward: Pliable Truths
When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine hit our television screens in 1993, we were introduced to the planet Bajor, the end of the Cardassian Occupation, and a cast of colorful characters that were very different from the sanitized Starfleet environment of the Enterprise-D on Star Trek: The Next Generation. But what happened just before “Emissary”? How did Starfleet establish a presence in the Bajoran system? How was the withdrawal negotiated? Why did O’Brien decide to transfer to DS9? All of these questions and more are finally answered, over 30 years later, thanks to Dayton Ward’s latest Star Trek novel.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are once again joined by New York Times Bestselling author Dayton Ward to discuss his new novel, Star Trek: The Next Generation: Pliable Truths. We talk about the story of the transition from TNG to DS9 that we have been waiting decades to read!

Positively Trek 271: Officer, Widower, Father, Mentor, Emissary
Benjamin Sisko: A Deep Dive
In the 90s, the question in Trek fandom invariably was: Kirk or Picard? After watching seven seasons of Deep Space Nine, I knew what my answer was: Sisko. Beginning in season one, this commander took a dilapidated waystation at the edge of the frontier and turned it into a hub for science, commerce, and Federation authority against the impending Dominion threat. Along the way, he faced trials (and tribble-ations), threats to his values and integrity as a Starfleet officer, and had to contend with being a religious figure to the Bajorans. Through politics, rebellion, war, and strife, Captain Benjamin Sisko emerged as one of the great heroes of the Federation.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss the commanding officer of Deep Space Nine. What made Benjamin Sisko the man who would discover the Bajoran wormhole, lead fleets of starships against the Dominion and Cardassians, maintain peace on Bajor despite the machinations of power-hungry despots, and ultimately battle the pah-wraiths in the fire caves of Bajor and ascend to the revered Celestial Temple? We share our thoughts on this singularly incredible Star Trek character.

Positively Trek 269: The Vibe That Is Data
Part 2: Data in Nemesis, Picard, and Beyond…
Warning: This episode contains spoilers for all three seasons of Star Trek: Picard, as well as minor spoilers for the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season.
Data is one of the most enduring and beloved characters in the Star Trek universe. When the character was killed off in the film Star Trek Nemesis, many Trek fans believed that he would one day be back. Now, thanks to Star Trek: Picard, they have been proven right when Data was raised from the dead not once, but twice!
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan continue their two-part discussion of Data. We talk about his death in Nemesis, what that death means in the larger context of pop culture, his first resurrection in season one of Star Trek: Picard, his (extremely) extended family, and finally his most recent incarnation in Picard’s third season!

Positively Trek 267: Book Club: Morn’s Little Partner in Crime
Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War
At the height of the Dominion War, Deep Space Nine receives an unexpected guest: a priceless purebred corgi, which Quark names Latinum. Along with the adorable canine comes a mysterious Borg component which might help the Federation and its allies win the war… or spell doom for the entire Alpha Quadrant.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War, a comic miniseries from IDW that was recently released as a graphic novel. We talk about all five issues, including Quark’s discovery of his love of one dog in particular, Sisko’s dilemma, and the mysterious shadowy organization with the ridiculous name “The Brokers on the Black Market.”

Positively Trek 266: He’s Already More Human Than Human
Data: Part One
When Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987, Star Trek fans were given an entire new cast of characters to love. One character in particular proved to be extremely popular: the sentient android, Lt. Commander Data.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan continue their series on the characters of Star Trek by highlighting our favourite automaton. We talk about his introduction, compare him to TOS’s Spock, and discuss the impact his character had on us and on the rest of Trek fandom.
There is a lot to talk about with regards to Data, so this is just part one of a two-part exploration of his character.

Positively Trek 265: Book Club: Seven of Nine Knows Her Name!
Picard: Firewall with David Mack & Guest Host Jessie Gender
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, Dan Gunther and guest host Jessie Gender welcome David Mack to the show to discuss his new novel, Star Trek: Picard: Firewall.
When the USS Voyager returned to Earth, Seven of Nine’s life looked promising: Earth, the bastion of acceptance and equality, stood ready to accept the former Borg with open arms. Right?
Reality proved to be very different from what had been promised, and soon Seven finds herself on the outside looking in. Refused a commission in Starfleet, and even denied Federation membership, she sets out to find herself, beginning a journey that would eventually lead to the Fenris Rangers and the Seven that we meet in the series Star Trek: Picard.

Positively Trek 263: Just Waiting for that Kelvan Invasion…
Our Favorite Star Trek Storylines Begging for a Follow-up
Over the many years that Star Trek has been on the air, in one form or another, numerous storylines have been shown to us. And many of these stories have begged for follow-ups that never came.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss which plotlines we would love to have Star Trek explore once again. From strange parasitic lifeforms that came within a hair’s breadth of taking over the Federation, to invaders from the Andromeda galaxy who have promised to subjugate everyone in the Milky Way, there are lots to choose from!

Positively Trek 261: The Enduring Personality of James T. Kirk
A 60s Icon Through a 21st Century Lens
“Space… The Final Frontier.” With those four words, the voice of Captain James T. Kirk echoes through the minds of Star Trek fans everywhere. Our first peek into the Star Trek universe showed us the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise with the stalwart Captain Kirk commanding the ship and our imaginations.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan embark on the first of many character examinations, and we start where it all began: with Captain James T. Kirk. Most notably played by William Shatner, and ably reprised by Chris Pine and Paul Wesley, Kirk is an inextricable part of Star Trek. What does this character represent? How do we feel about how he has been portrayed over the years?

Positively Trek 259: Nova Squadron, Red Squad, and Badmirals
The Problem with Starfleet Meritocracy
The future as seen in Star Trek is one free from the concerns of modern-day capitalism. In the words of Jean-Luc Picard, “The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.” So, what drives humans in their day-to-day lives in the future?
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take a look at Starfleet and the Federation through the lens of meritocracy: a system based on influence or power wielded by those whom society deems are educated and skilled. We also examine some problems that might arise from that system through the examples of Nova Squadron, Red Squad, and a flock of seriously corrupt “badmirals.”

From television shows such as Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Prodigy, as well as a smattering of novels and a TON of comics, learn what to keep an eye out for from the Star Trek universe this year!

Positively Trek 256: Book Club: Making It So: A Memoir
Sir Patrick Stewart’s Life: In His Own Words
Since first appearing on our television screens in 1987 as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart has been a bit of an enigma to Star Trek fans. Over the years, this “Unknown British Shakespearean Actor” (as he was referred to as in the LA Times that year) has become a familiar and much-loved presence as the lead of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now, his life is laid bare in his new memoir for all to read.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce discuss Making It So: A Memoir by Sir Patrick Stewart. We discuss our expectations for the book, his early life, his relationships, his time before and after starring as Jean-Luc Picard, and much more!

Positively Trek 255: A Tree Full of Starships
Star Trek Christmas Tree Ornaments Over the Years
In 1991, Hallmark put out the first in their line of Star Trek Keepsake Ornaments: The original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. In the 32 years since, every holiday season has seen more and more ornaments for Trek fans to add to their collection.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss the varied and sometimes oddball entries in the Hallmark Star Trek ornament line. From gorgeous starships, to character statuettes, all the way to dioramas featuring Spock urging McCoy to shoot a salt vampire, there is a lot to talk about!
In the news segment, we discuss the current state of Trek on television, including the completion of work on Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season, the start of production on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ third season, and the hotly-anticipated beginning of production on Star Trek: Section 31. Plus: new diecast starships on the way?

Positively Trek 244: Starfleet Dances and Sings!
Celebrating the In-Universe Musical Talent of the Characters of Star Trek
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds broke new ground by giving us Star Trek’s first musical episode, but it was hardly the first time we’ve heard the musical talents of Starfleet officers. From TOS, all the way through TNG, DS9, Voyager, and all of the modern Treks, the characters have played instruments, sang, and entertained us from the final frontier!
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take a look at all the times we enjoyed the singing and music created by characters in the Star Trek universe. As you’ll see, Star Trek and music have gone hand-in-hand since the very beginning!
In the news segment, we take a look at the recently released sneak preview of Star Trek: Prodigy season two!

Which Character Resurrection Is Our Favourite?
In Star Trek, characters often die, but rarely do they stay dead for long!
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss the many Star Trek character resurrections over the franchise’s 55+ year history. Which ones were well-thought out? Which ones were kind of flimsy? We discuss (almost) all of them!
In the news segment, we report on the WGA strike, Picard’s upcoming memoir, and the impending release of the Star Trek: Resurgence video game.

Positively Trek 220: Sailing the High Seas with Bryson
Mi'kmaw, Star Trek Fan, and Real-Life Ship’s Navigator
Very few among us get the opportunity to live a life navigating ships by the stars, taking the helm of a powerful vessel, and exploring the frontier on a mission of discovery. Whether it’s aboard a starship or, in the case of Bryson, a tall ship or modern seafaring vessel, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge while exploring the unknown is a thrilling adventure.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan welcome Bryson to the show. We discuss his Star Trek fandom, how he feels like a real-life Starfleet officer while performing his duties, and the limits of Star Trek’s representation when it comes to Indigenous issues. This episode features a great discussion that you won’t want to miss!
We also discuss the week’s Trek news, including an Emmy nomination for Star Trek: Prodigy and new Star Trek: The Next Generation action figures from Super7.

Positively Trek 209: The Best Vacation Spots in the Final Frontier!
Where Are You Going for Your Galactic Getaway?
Over the past 900+ episodes and films, Star Trek has had no shortage of candidates for a fantastic vacation in the 23rd, 24th, or even 32nd centuries! Join Bruce and Dan as they discuss where they would love to holiday in the final frontier (and a few places they’d rather stay away from).
In the news segment, we discuss a recent interview with Melissa Navia on Ortegas’s role in season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Jason Isaacs willingness to portray Prime Lorca, a new casting addition to Star Trek: Picard’s third season, and the possible end of the line for Star Trek Starships producer Eaglemoss.

We once again flip open the pages of Star Trek Explorer in search of brand-new exclusive short fiction set in the Star Trek universe!

Positively Trek 177: Book Club: Terok Nor - Day of the Vipers
This Book’s Not Gonna Have a Happy Ending
The Occupation: its legacy looms large over the entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series, with the scars of that brutal era still felt by Bajor years later. However, not much has been told about the start of the occupation; what was Bajor like before the Cardassians came? What drove Cardassia to commit the crimes of the occupation? The subject of this week’s Book Club episode explores these questions and more!
Before we finish with The Lost Era, there are just three more books to cover: The Terok Nor trilogy, chronicling the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce talk about the first of these: Day of the Vipers by James Swallow. We discuss the characters both familiar and new, life on Bajor prior to the occupation, the state of Cardassia, dramatic irony, personal stories, scapegoats, the rise of the occupation, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

Positively Trek 155: Book Club: The Buried AgePicard as Indiana Jones?
While billed as a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel, The Buried Age by Christopher L. Bennett is also labelled “A Novel of The Lost Era,” continuing the stories set between the end of the classic Star Trek films and the beginning of TNG and “Encounter at Farpoint.” In the pages of this millennia- and epoch-spanning story, we learn a great deal about the history of our galaxy and what made Captain Jean-Luc Picard into the man we see at the beginning of his journey aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss The Buried Age. We talk about The Battle of Maxia, Picard’s trial, a quest to discover hidden secrets of the galaxy’s past, the mysterious Ariel, the measure of a man, the lessons learned in this story, the origins of Picard’s crew, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings for The Buried Age.

Positively Trek 152: Book Club: Moments Asunder with Special Guest Dayton Ward!“Wil Wheaton, Temporal Badass”
The Temporal Apocalypse begins! For 20 years, the “novelverse” has presented us with a unique opportunity to grow the Star Trek universe outside the films and television that make up “canon,” with authors given unprecedented freedom to take the stories of the TNG era in new and exciting directions. After all, there was no way that televised Trek would ever return to the 24th century… right? Well, all of that changed with Star Trek: Picard, which meant that in order to line up with canon, the novelverse would have to be fixed. That fix comes in three parts, with the Star Trek: Coda trilogy by authors Dayton Ward, James Swallow, and David Mack.
In this episode of the Positively TrekBook Club, hosts Dan and Bruce sit down with Dayton Ward to discuss Moments Asunder, the first book of the Coda trilogy. We talk about a story 20 years in the making, Dayton’s collaborators, Wesley Crusher, the big baddies of the novel, shocking story moments, swinging for the fences, and wrap up with our final thoughts and where Dayton can be found online and what he’s working on next.

Positively Trek 147: Book Club: The Autobiography of Mr. SpockWith special guest Una McCormack!
There are not many people who can be said to have influenced centuries of galactic politics and shaped the very foundations of the Federation. Described by Starfleet Admiral Brackett as “one of our most celebrated Ambassadors and advisors to Federation leaders for generations,” Spock has been one of the most revered and influential voices in Federation history. Now, available for the first time ever: his life, in his own words.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan sit down with the “editor” of The Autobiography of Mr. Spock, Una McCormack! We talk about the concept of a “wisdom book,” Spock’s struggles while growing up, his childhood with his brother and sister, his time on the Enterprise, his role as both a successful and unsuccessful mentor, his 24th century exploits, his relationship with James T. Kirk, and wrap up with our final thoughts and where Una can be found online and what projects she is currently working on.

Positively Trek 135: Book Club: Rogue ElementsWith Special Guest John Jackson Miller!
In the third episode of Star Trek: Picard, retired Admiral Jean-Luc Picard hired Cristóbal Rios, freighter captain of the La Sirena. As season one continued, we learned about this ex-Starfleet officer who was haunted by a traumatic experience aboard the U.S.S. ibn Majid, but there is more to Rios’ past than what we have seen on screen!

We talk about how Rios acquired his ship, his involvement with the Iotians from “A Piece of the Action,” the importance of physical books, the Sylvus Project, and the McGuffin in this book.

Positively Trek 130: Book Club: Enterprise: The First AdventureEnter the Vonda-Verse!
Back in 1966, we were introduced to the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the middle of their adventures. Kirk, Spock, Bones, and the rest of the crew had already found their groove, boldly going like a well-oiled machine. But how did this crew originally come together? How did their first mission together go? This week, we take a look at a novel that strives to answer these questions!
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss the classic novel Enterprise: The First Adventure by Vonda McIntyre, published in 1986. We discuss Kirk, his crew, a Klingon antagonist named Koronin, the Warp-Speed Classic Vaudeville Company, the mysterious “worldship,” and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

Positively Trek 123: Book Club: Shadows Have OffendedWith Special Guest Cassandra Rose Clarke!
It’s been many years since TNG novels set during the series’ run have been published with the post-Nemesis continuity taking precedence. However, thanks to a newcomer to the Star Trek fiction universe, all that has changed with a brand-new novel set during season seven of Star Trek: The Next Generation!
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan speak with author Cassandra Rose Clarke about her new TNG novel Shadows Have Offended! We discuss her prior works and how she came to write a Star Trek novel, the focus on Troi, Crusher, and Worf, her love of Betazed and its culture, Ambassador Lwaxana Troi, the mysteries at the heart of the novel, and wrap up with what she is working on now and where she can be found online.

Positively Trek 119: Captain on the BridgeOur Favorite Starship Bridges with Special Guest Katie Nickolaou!
In every Star Trek series set aboard a starship, much of each episode takes place on the main bridge. A place for action, character development, plot advancement, exposition, and more; the bridge is where our heroes spend a huge amount of time. With all that in mind, a great deal of thought and care must go into designing the centerpiece of a new Star Trek show or film. So, what are our opinions of how well the various bridges succeed?
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Bruce and Dan are joined once again by Katie Nickolaou to judge the various bridges in Star Trek! We each have our favorites, but we also all have strong opinions on what makes a good bridge and which ones succeeded (and failed)!In the news, we talk about the announcement of a new Star Trek: Picard novel by Una McCormack, the 2021 Scribe Award-winning novel by John Jackson Miller, a possible hint about when we might see Star Trek: Discovery’s fourth season, and a very odd new gig for William Shatner on Russian state-run television?!?

Positively Trek 102: Book Club: SurvivorsKeeping Data Regular
Lieutenant Tasha Yar was a character who didn’t get much of a chance to shine. Lasting not quite an entire season, Denise Crosby elected to leave the show before the end of season one. While the true potential of the character went unrealized on screen, one author took it upon herself to tell her story.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce return to the early days of TNG to take a look at the “Tasha Yar” novel: Survivors by Jean Lorrah. We discuss Yar’s backstory, Dare, the planet Treva, Data’s life as a survivor, the conclusion, and Tasha Yar’s death at the hands of Armus.

Positively Trek 93: Book Club: The Needs of the ManyWith Special Guest: Author Michael A. Martin
In 2010, the Star Trek community was eagerly anticipating the launch of Star Trek Online, the Trek universe’s first MMORPG (massively multiplayer online game). To tie into this next chapter of the Star Trek universe, the publishers of Trek novels produced a special tie-in to the game chronicling “The Long War,” the conflict between the powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants and the Undine, also known as Species 8472.
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan are joined by Michael A. Martin to discuss his novel The Needs of the Many. We talk about Star Trek Online, the premise of the story, Michael’s co-author Jake Sisko, favorite parts of the book, and wrap up with what Michael is up to now and where he can be found online.

Positively Trek 84: Picard: The Dark VeilWith Special Guest: Author James Swallow!
The year is 2386, and the United Federation of Planets has been dealt a serious blow: synthetic lifeforms have attacked the Utopia Plantia Shipyards at Mars, derailing a massive relief effort to save the Romulan people from an impending supernova. The Federation, reacting to this tragedy, has turned inward, halting relief efforts in the Romulan Empire and instituting a ban on research and development of synthetic lifeforms. All of this serves as the backdrop to the situation facing Captain Riker and the crew of the U.S.S. Titan as they respond to an urgent distress call from the Jazari, a species situated very near the Romulan Neutral Zone…
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce welcome renowned author James Swallow to the show to discuss his latest novel, Star Trek: Picard: The Dark Veil. We talk about the genesis of the novel, the links to the Star Trek: Titan book series, Thaddeus Worf Troi-Riker, the situation in the Federation, the Romulans, the Jazari, easter eggs and continuity connections, and wrap up with where James can be found online and what he has coming next!

Positively Trek 70: Book Club: Deep Space Nine: Too Long a SacrificeIt’s an Odo/Retlaw Buddy-Buddy Cop Show!
A string of seemingly-unrelated murders rocks Deep Space Nine, and it’s up to Security Chief Odo to solve the mystery. With Starfleet and the Bajoran government breathing down his neck, the Constable finds himself pulling in many different directions over the course of the investigation. The murders are just the latest effect of a deep mystery that stretches back to the days of the Cardassian occupation, one which Odo must solve before the death count rises…
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss the four-issue Deep Space Nine miniseries Too Long a Sacrifice by Scott and David Tipton, with art by Glen Scott. We talk about all four issues, including our thoughts on the story, whodunnit, whether or not Worf acts out of character, and speculate on Garak’s guilt or innocence. We wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings on the series as a whole.

Hortas… IN SPAAAACE!!! In the classic Trek episode “The Devil in the Dark,” we are introduced to the Horta: a strange, non-humanoid being whose fearsome aspect belies a gentle creature, only interested in protecting her many vulnerable young. However, while peaceful, the Horta is capable of great destruction thanks to its silicon-based physiology and its ability to spew highly concentrated, deadly acid. So what do you think might happen when twenty young Horta are suddenly released into the sealed environment of a space station? In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the Deep Space Nine novel Devil in the Sky by Greg Cox and John Gregory Betancourt. We talk about the origin of the novel, the premise, Jake and Nog’s role in the crisis, the characterizations of the DS9 crew, Kira’s rescue mission, the solution to the Horta problem, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

Mike McMahan: you may know him as the creator of Star Trek: Lower Decks. But in 2015, before the idea of Lower Decks had made its way to the ear of CBS, he created an episode guide for the little-known, never talked-about 8th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. All 26 episodes were covered, including the one where Riker’s pajamas attempt to kill him, and the one where Barclay can’t seem to survive a bet between Q and fellow Continuum member “California Steve.”
In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson discuss Warped! An Engaging Guide to the Unaired 8th Season by Mike McMahan. We talk about the origins of the book, the format, the artwork, some of our favorite plots and moments from the various episodes, the book’s link to Lower Decks, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

In the history of the Federation, the story of first contact between Humans and Vulcans is well-known: Earth astronauts came to the rescue of a Vulcan ship, stranded in our system’s asteroid belt. The rest is, as they say, history. But what if the official story is not how it actually happened? What if first contact with the Vulcans actually came many years earlier? And what if Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise were instrumental in that event happening the way it did?
In this, the first episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by author Margaret Wander Bonanno to talk about her renowned and much-celebrated novel, Strangers From the Sky. We discuss how Margaret became a fan and an author of Trek books, how this story came about, how it stands up in the face of the canon that has moved on in the years since it was published, the characters that populate the story, and how its legacy has affected Trek Lit in the years since.

The inclusion of the gag reels on the Star Trek: TNG blu-ray releases was a welcome addition to those collections. For one Star Trek fan, watching those bloopers gave him a genius idea for a few clever re-edits of scenes from the episodes.

In Star Trek: Enterprise’s fourth season, the infamous green Orion women were re-introduced, most notably in the episode “Bound.” Crystal Allen, a familiar face on many network television shows, guest-starred as the dangerous and alluring D’Nesh, and we are honored to have her on Positively Trek as our first guest ever!
In this episode, Dan and Bruce talk with Crystal about her role as D’Nesh, her experiences on Of Gods and Men with Tim Russ, and get the word out about her charitable efforts to provide healthy, home-cooked meals to frontline medical workers dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.
A reminder that Trek fans who donate $30 to Crystal’s GoFundMe will receive a signed photo from her, either of D’Nesh, her character in Of Gods and Men, or a publicity photo of the actor herself.
