The view from the UK.

There has been much rumor and speculation about the forthcoming Star Trek series. In this episode of Trek News and Views, host Colin Higgins is joined by Donya Abramo, Steve Roberts, and Paul Wright to bring a British viewpoint to the discussion. We explore into the tidbits Fuller has revealed about the show, share out thoughts on the newest ship to grace our screens, and discuss the rumors and hearsay—which may or may not be true. Trekkies are want to speculate, and we do that in no small measure … as only Trekkies can!

Star Trek: The Classic UK Comics, Vol. 1.

When you think of Star Trek comics of the 1970s, the Gold Key comics, the comics that promoted Star Trek: The Motion Picture on the side of McDonald's Happy Meals, or the weekly newspaper strips may come to mind. But if you're from the UK, adventures from the pages of TV 21 and Joe 90 probably trump them all. Six months before the original Star Trek TV series premiered in England, British readers were introduced to the characters through an original comic book series. These stories were serialized, generally 2–3 pages in length, and appeared in 257 weekly magazines spanning five years and 37 storylines.

In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, we're joined by Rich Handley to discuss the these psychedelic 1970s voyages. Rich is the man who undertook the Herculean task of compiling the 244-page tome. We explore the experience of delving into obscure cartoons and the nitty gritty of scanning 45-year-old newspapers to create a coffee table-quality book.

When the crew of Voyager finally returned to the Alpha Quadrant after seven years on the far side of the galaxy, they never thought they would have to return. Now, on a long-term mission of exploration, they find themselves back in uncharted space, confronting not only familiar faces, but new life and new civilizations, as well as something they have long been unfamiliar with: character development!

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing, Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson talk about Unworthy. We discuss Kirsten’s writing of Voyager, the books mysteries, playing god, Tom and Harry, how well we know our friends, identity and ratings.

Goldfinger.

In 1964 Bond producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman want capitalize on the success of From Russia With Love and decide that the next Bond adventure needs to be bigger and better than before. So they invest three million dollars into the next movie, marketing heavily before it’s even finished filming and their gamble creates a phenomenon that launchs James Bond into the pop culture stratosphere.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by fellow 00 agent John Champion to talk about Goldfinger. We discuss the phenomenon of the film, it’s marketing, a new director, villains, gadgets, women and our ratings.

A Chakotay/B'Elanna Prequel.

Before finding peace at Janeway's side aboard Voyager, Chakotay was a self-described "angry warrior." A former Starfleet officer, he joined the Maquis to fight for his home planet against the Cardassians, and we unfortunately know little else. A recent listener email suggested that Char and Tristan write a pre-"Caretaker" story about the "angry warrior," so in this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan do just that. They write an episode on the spot that starts with Chakotay telling a story to the senior staff during Ancestor's Eve, which takes us all back to Chakotay and B'Elanna's Maquis days. The story reveals several things, such as how Chakotay recruited B'Elanna into becoming his chief engineer about the Val Jean, but also a detail about Chakotay's life that few know. It shocked Janeway and it might shock you, so tune in and find out what it is.

Taylor Sheridan's Sicario and Hell or High Water.

Running Time: 58 minutes 15 seconds

Star Trek fans know Taylor Sheridan as the actor who portrayed the character of Jareb in the Enterprise episode, "Chosen Realm." But Sheridan has since gone on to become a successful screenwriter. His first to movies, Sicario and Hell or High Water, make up the first two parts of his American Frontier trilogy, with the final installment, Wind River, due out in 2017.

In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike is joined by Marcelo Pico of The Talk Film Society to look at Sicario and Hell or High Water. We discuss Sheridan's transition from acting to writing, give our thoughts on the two films individually, and try to find what connects them thematically. We also debate the merits of Mr. Pibb and Dr. Pepper. In news, we preview Nicholas Meyer's appearance at the Star Trek convention in New York over Labor Day weekend.
