Captain Janeway Or The Cosmic Highway

Captain Janeway - played by Kate Mulgrew - was the first woman commander of a Starship to be featured as star of a Trek spin-off. Voyager became lost in space in the Delta Quadrant, but its intrepid leader never wavered in her pursuit of getting home to Earth, nor the Starfleet goals and ethics which guided her and her valiant crew.

Riker Feels Pretty

Starfleet members are professionals.  They are expected to do whatever it takes to see that their important mission is carried out efficiently and completely.  In the Next Generation episode, Angel One, Commander Riker really takes one for the team.

Oh, Commander Riker, don't you look pretty!

Spock's Almost Wedding

Spock almost got married - remember?  It was a casual affair, only a few good friends invited, kinda low-key.  Ultimately, it was really an amok time!

Don't they both look thrilled?

Wink Of An Eye

Captain Kirk is fast, but Deela - played by actress Kathie Brownie - is just a wee bit faster.  In Wink Of An Eye, Kirk must confront an alien race whose slowest gesture is beyond hyper fast to humans.

 
The beautiful Deela.  She's the fastest woman Kirk has ever faced.

Romulan Commander And Spock

In The Enterprise Incident, Spock must team up with his Captain for a sort of James Bond meets Jason Bourne mission.  Stealing a Romulan cloaking device isn't easy - the job tasking Kirk - but romancing a steely Romulan Commander may be even harder.



Only known as the Romulan Commander, actress Joanne Linville brings a classy and smokey sexuality to the character and always makes us wonder if Spock will be able to resist her temptation.

Talosians - Androgynous Aliens

Played by small, lithe female dancers, the legendary Talosians are the epitome of the androgynous alien.  After imprisoning Captain Pike (Jeffrey Hunter), the telepathic aliens put him through a series of mental exercises - where reality and fantasy blur into one maddening spectacle after another.  

Fueled by a need to live their mostly non physical lives through other species, the aliens want to breed as many living toys as they can - so to vicariously live out their dynamic, and often sexually tinged fantasies.

Nurse Chapel And Lwaxana Troi

Nurse Chapel is one of the sadder characters on Star Trek. Wonderfully played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, Chapel has to keep her romantic secret - that she dearly loves Spock.  When the revelation is finally made, it's both poignant and touching.



It's no wonder that when Next Generation was created, Majel was given the joyous and highly libidinous character of Lwaxana - a woman who never was shy about admitting her attraction to the bemused Jean-Luc Picard.  Oh Jean-Luc!

Roll-Up Piano From "Lessons"

Captain Picard's love interest, Nella Darren, in the TNG episode, Lessons, played a mean roll-up keyboard.  Sadly, the actual prop hasn't stood the test of time.  Available for $3109 bucks, the item is pretty beat up now.

Han Solo On The Enterprise

What if Han Solo decided to hitch a ride on the Enterprise?  We can dream...


Star Trek & Star Wars: Sci-Fi Titans

A War or A Trek?  Fight among the stars or a trip to explore the stars? Which do you prefer?

Star Trek & Star Wars - those star spawned sagas shadow each other like a cloaked Romulan Warbird trailing Bobba Fett's bounty hunter ship Slave One

As a sci-fi writer, I'm often asked which I like better.  For one who penned episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, the answer may be obvious. Long before I was listed in the credits of a Star Trek episode, however, I preferred seeing Starship Enterprise jump into warp to watching Han Solo's Millennium Falcon burst into hyperspace.

There's no denying George Lucas created fantastic characters. Of course Gene Roddenberry created his universe first.  Star Trek blazed a trail in pop culture so fiery, it's still felt today in every aspect of media. That influential legacy can be felt in TV, film, novels, comic books, video games and now even fan produced episodes and movies.

Media success is great, but there's a more fundamental, intellectual facet which not only sets itself apart from Star Wars, but from nearly every other sci-fi themed entity around.

Star Trek brims with philosophy.

Star Wars has philosophy in Jedi?  These laser sword wielding warriors strut around in flowing robes talking about the "Force."  On surface, they seem to use philosophy. Yoda, one of the wisest teachers waxes philosophically on how the Force is his ally.  Yet, when he launches into a savage saber fight with Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones, where's his philosophy? Is Jedi Philosophy only effective in combat? Is there no peaceful way of utilizing the Force?

There's Vulcan philosophy, Klingon philosophy, Bajoran philosophy - you even have Borg Philosophy. IDIC. It's a Good Day To Die. Resistance Is Futile. This promotes Vulcan ideas of the infinite diversity and respect for life, the Klingon notion of fighting for honor and the Borg totalitarian mind set of assimilation being inevitable.  Klingons and Borg aren't great role models, but their respective philosophies speak volumes about their race's culture and evolution. Klingons love combat - it's the air they breathe, the blood wine they drink. Borg seek perfection - it's neural energy that feeds total domination of species they encounter.

These are potent intellectual exercises in how a world operates in reality. We use these lessons in sociology, political science and even in psychology. College courses are not only taught with Star Trek's examples, but sometimes focus solely on Gene Roddenberry's universe of ideas.  Star Trek deals in complex philosophy and diplomacy - something usually lacking in Star Wars.

The flash of Star Wars is fun.  Thrilling.  But like choosing between a quick deli sandwich or fast food concoction compared to a nutritious full course meal, the surface sizzle never matches the deep, mental and philosophical stimulation found in Star Trek.

A War or A Trek?  That's easy.  I prefer a journey of discovery and adventure trek over a war every time

Han Solo VS Captain Kirk

One has a bigger gun.  One has a bigger ship.  One has a hairy pal. One has a pal with pointy ears.  One dates a Princess.  One dates dozens.







Yeah, we know.
