Does anybody have the GERMAN version of TNG Season 4 Blus?
I'd REALLY love to get my hands on The Trek Not Taken - this is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find on my Season 1 box :-( And I feel a bit cheated that I can't have it because I bought the UK version and not the German version :-(

Hate to self-promote, but my blog has just published an essay on McCoy's daughter, character who several times almost made it to the screen.

Well I've also got a blog that posts things for me via queue. . . I've actually got to fill that thing up again as it's running low. Been neglecting it...TV's Frink said:

- "John Harrison" didn't exist before being thawed out by Marcus, so it's unlikely they would cross paths. Dad wouldn't want them interacting anyway lest she start asking too many questions.
- Kirk's Mom was simply a member of the Kelvin's crew. Marriages among starship crews was not unknown in the series. See:Balance of Terror.
- Scotty objected to anything being brought on board he couldn't personally inspect and guarantee the ship's safety. Hint: It's not protomatter.

Replying to a post in the Star Wars J.J. Abrams thread so as to not go way off topic...

Whatever they had in mind, they should have dropped it when they didn't bring Kirstie back. The whole Saavik-David subplot was very offputting. ST has delved a little too far into the loss of loved ones. TWOK Spock worked because there was a promise of bringing him back. They had already sunk to their nadir, TSFS was about the journey back up. A black-eyed full-blood Vulcan chick with a red-shirt partner could have carried that water. Protomatter could have been an unexpected problem. The subtle art of getting us to care enough but not too much before bumping em off. Too bad "Adventure" couldn't have been menuevered into position. "I...HAVE HAD...ENOUGH...OF YOU!!!" would have had at least as much heft if it was about sheer exasperation without any revenge.
My understanding is Alley's agent suggested she was going to end up typecast if she continued in the role, so she bailed on a sequel. (That and salary issues.) Now she's better known for her role on Cheers, and those weight loss ads.
A planned Saavik cameo on TNG, standing at Captain Bateson's side in Cause and Effect almost happened though.
If Bibi Besch didn't want to come back for TSFS, fine. But her character was implied as being the main "cook" of Genesis in TWOK, and suddenly it's all on David for using unstable mattery wattery stuff. The problems of which never manifested themselves in the Genesis cave, which is presumably several months to a year older than the planet.
JEDIT:Got my blonde Trek actresses mixed up.

Louise Fletcher? Don't you mean Bibi Besch?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Ever wondered what Kirk's pain was and why he refused to share it with Sybock?
Me neither.
But I suddenly developed a theory: In TVH, Kirk travels to the late 1980s, a time shortly before the Eugenics War and Khan's rise to power. If Kirk had intervened with Khan's power grab, he never would have encountered him in the 23rd century, never would have had the chaos with the Genesis device and the creation of the Genesis planet in the Mutara sector. His son would not have become entangled with hostile Klingons and would not have been killed. You see, the premature death of the tyrant Khan would have ultimately saved his son! But Kirk realizes that his pain is what makes him what he is. So it's okay that he forgot to kill Khan while picking up some whales.

It's been speculated in the past that Edith Keeler is Kirk's secret pain. Yeah, Spock and McCoy know about it, but it's arguably the toughest command decision he's ever had to make.

The comic is pretty bad. They cut a lot of scenes, and the art (for the most part) is pretty bad. They make Spock melt during the death scene!!

Is this a recent adaptation? Doesn't look like the old DC comic at all.

Yes, Twenty seven years after the movie, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", was released in comic book format by IDW Publishing.
