#20–By far the best TAS episode. I’m not so much into the “what if” books, though. The character of Thelin would probably still exist anyway, although not as First Officer of the Enterprise under Captain Kirk. I’m curious—has he ever shown up anywhere else?

Alternate universe stories can be terrific if they’re well written. Dark Horse did some great work with Star Wars: Infinities. These stories sound bold and promising, especially the Thelin one.

I don’t mean to pick on Chris Bennet or a book I haven’t read, but honestly “quantum energies rippling through a section of space” is why I virtually lost interest in Trek.

“Thelin taking his place,” I mean.

The Animated Series keeps picking up clout in Trekdom . . . “The Chimes at Midnight” is based on the TAS episode “Yesteryear,” in which a trip through the Guardian of Forever resulted in young Spock’s death in the Vulcan desert, and Thelin’s place as Kirk’s second-in-command.

it’s awesome that star trek is branching off into alternate universes, there are so many star trek stories that could’ve gone in different ways. i think that Myriad Universes is great. i’d buy it.

#17 The last time Bill Shatner did a book signing you would have thought it was the debut of the Iphone. The man is a chick magnet. Its not just the trek fans either. I’ve heard the fans of the TJ Hooker tv series are always in attendence. Yep, every where the Shat goes they say there are always Trekkies and Hookers.

All those in favor of the Borg following the Shadows and Vorlons beyond the rim, please raise your hands.

Please.

I really hope the Destiny series doesn’t turn into one long shake-things-up battle against the evil assimilators.

THe multi book series get to me… I’d love a good solid TOS novel (calling the Reeves-Stevens) but I don’t want to get bogged down ina series.
