#3, I actually DO have a trek bath towel – got it back at Benecia ‘75 (a trek convention In Atlanta in 1975 when I was 12).

The ST novel manuscript came in at about 79,000 words. Not War & Peace, not Stephen King, but far, far from a novella.

When comparing number of pages in a book, remember also that font size enters into the number of words per page.

#3 :: Spaceballs is the win. You just got a little higher on my list of like 10000 people in the world who are awesome. I can see it now…
Yogurt: “Star Trek — The Flamethrower!!” (Insert flamethrowing) “The kids LOVE this one.”

Aaaaanyways, cool! Don’t know if I’ll pre-order; may just wait for it to come… So far, the only book I’m preordering is “The Romulan War”. GIVE ME TRIP, GIVE ME TRIIIIIIP. :D (My eyes are gonna burn if I read “The Good That Men Do” and “Kobayashi Maru” again.)

27: If you go the Esurance website and watch the behind the scenes clip, there’s about a minute and a half of movie score there.

Hello Stan,

If you don’t like the way I write my articles, you are free not to read them.

I think the novelization and trading cards are news, and if you don’t like that I also provide some context (ie: the last time there was an audiotext) then you are free to visit the other Star Trek websites that will merely tell fans a price and a link with no other information.

John

“This will be the first time a Star Trek book has been offered in audio version since 2007’s Vulcan’s Soul.” Um that’s just like a year ago. Is it really that newsworthy? Makes it sound like it’s been decades or something…

Hello Izbot,

I know what you mean about the nontraditional sized formats. They were a strange fad!

Best,

John

35. John Tenuto –

Thanks, John. I remember the large size cards (I called them postcards). I thought I got out of collecting cards in the late 90s but apparently it was around 94 and I never got that TWOK set. Now that you mention it I think that was around the time Generations came out and they started making the ‘widescreen’ sets that I quit buying them. Thatnks again for the clarification.

Hello Izbot,

There is no error with the article. There was a TWOK large sized card set during 1982 by FTCC and a “regular” widescreen set of 72 cards from 1994. Every feature film has had trading cards. Trading card sets have a variety of formats. Thank you for question.

18. SirRobin –
“Is anyone else upset that McCoy isn’t next to Kirk in that picture? Not that it will stop me from going and seeing the movie and enjoying the heck out of it, I just wish the poster had the central 3 of Kirk, McCoy, and Spock. Uhura shouldn’t be in the center.”

Seriously?! SERIOUSLY?! Is anyone *upset* about that?! Seriously?! That’s a joke, right? You were joking. Seriously?! I’m — I’m just — seriously?! Are you kidding me??! Incredible…
