It wasn't always rosy between Gene Roddenberry and John and Bjo Trimble, even after their mail campaign famously helped "Save Star Trek." Their friendly relationship with the production made them the "go to" source of information for Trek fans everywhere and helped propel Gene's merchandise company, Lincoln Enterprises. Things soured soon after, though, and the Trimbles found themselves closing up shop. The Trek Files welcomes back John and Bjo Trimble to talk about the ups and downs of their relationship with Gene.

An early story pitch for Star Trek: The Next Generation gets examined by Larry and special guest Rene Echevarria to start our third season. What makes a story compelling and produceable?

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The Jem'Hadar," Commander Sisko leads an educational camping trip in the Gamma Quadrant for Jake and Nog. Quark comes along just to make it super uncomfortable, but maybe he'll find some time to bond with Ben too - especially if it means cutting a deal for himself back on DS9. All the fun around the campfire stops, though, when a dangerous new enemy makes itself known.
