#StarTrek is best when it doesn't take its self too serious....
taking on serious topics, in a humorous and fun way.
But not all episodes were humorous, and not all episodes were serious.
I think there are more fun episodes that I remember thou.

There is something strangely fascinating with the #BMovie "Space Probe Taurus" - like there was almost a good idea (or two, or three). Coming out in 1965, before #StarTrekTOS - I can't help but to wonder, if the ideas were a little more fleshed out, if there was a reason that Earth was looking for a new planet to live on. If it was a TV pilot - if we lived in a different time-line would this be #StarTrek ?

Elena. reviewed Lost to Eternity by Greg Cox (Star Trek)
A thrilling new Star Trek “movie era” novel from New York Times bestselling author Greg …
Scully should be a verb, or: The Search for Gillian Taylor*
4 stars
Content warning Star Trek: Lost to Eternity -- no real spoilers, but a few hints
I have been looking forward to listening to this book for such a long time, and it did not disappoint. It is such a fun book, instantly one of my favourites. There are three timelines: 2024, 2268 (5 year mission era), and 2292 (movie era). They are easily distinguishable from one another, also because the style of story and characterisations fit right into each one. At first I couldn't imagine how they could be connected, and I enjoyed trying to figure it out as the story went on. When it finally became clear what the connection is I thought it was very well done. I loved the 2024 story line a lot, at least up to a certain point at the very end. It was a lot of fun to have Melinda and Dennis follow Gillian's trail and investigating her disappearance. Both Melinda and Dennis are good characters, they make a good team. I have to say, I enjoy these sort of aftermath stories, where we get to see what happens after our heroes are gone and how their actions impact the people who just happen to be there at the same time. I loved seeing Saavik again. She's so cool and does not get nearly enough screen time in the movies. There are great connections to other series through little references here and there, especially in 2024. (E.g. pay attention to the conspiracy theories Dennis mentions.) I loved the ending! It's very beautiful and I may have a had a tear or two in my eyes.
I can't end this little review without mentioning Robert Petkoff, who narrates the audio book. He's as fantastic as ever, or even better. This time there are a few audio effects as well, which work really well.
And now, if you are looking for me, I'm re-watching "The Voyage Home".

Maybe I missed it, but why didn't they send a shuttle down to get Sulu and company from the surface of the planet?

Watching #StarTrekTos The Enemy Within, and #Spock just made one of the worse leaps in #logic I've heard.
Something to the effect of "There is just one logical conclusion - We have an impostor on board."
While, just before, Scotty explained about the dog creature, and Scotty knew or suspected there was something wrong with the transporter before he beamed up Kirk - so it seems the leap should have been, there had been a split, or a duplicate. Not an impostor

Star Trek has always been better when it doesn't take it's self so serious.
But that does lead to space hippies - so there is that....

A totally amazing find at a yard sale yesterday - there has to be over 100 #StarTrek #books all of them for $10.00 U.S.
Each stack has at least 10 books, some stacks have more. There are 11 stacks - so at least 110.
I'd guess it's closer to 130ish. 10 Bucks!!!!
I will not need to buy any new books for a long long time.
I saw #StarTrekTOS #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekDS9 I didn't see any #StarTrekVoyager but that doesn't really mean anything.
Mostly I see a lot of #TNG books

This trippy illustration of Lucille Ball in a "Star Trek" uniform has been my desktop background for a while now, because it's awesome and still looks great in ultrawide.
It's from this article on the official "Star Trek" site about Desilu's role in the genesis of TOS: https://www.startrek.com/news/how-lucille-ball-helped-star-trek-become-a-cultural-icon (artist uncredited)
