#262: The Mist (Captain’s Table #3)

In today’s episode, the DS9 crew discovers a group of people who can add and remove sprite layers to space on demand. But Sisko might have a tough time taking the man who brought the Defiant over seriously, considering the wildfire blazing in his pants region. What kind of basic is Sisko? Has stress made him forget his quadrants? And what if someone has to go to the bathroom during your story? All this and more in The Mist, the book that knows it’s always time for nachos.

#261: Dujonian’s Hoard (Captain’s Table #2)

In today’s episode, when Starfleet sends Picard in search of an AWOL captain, he picks Worf for his plus-one. But the search-and-rescue doubles as a treasure hunt, and the first one to find it will be singing glor’ya, glor’ya, hallelujah. Can MJF get away with putting his prose in characters’ mouths? How well does naming characters after things near you on your desk work out? And did Picard’s quarry go through some changes after leaving Starfleet? All this and more in Dujonian’s Hoard, the book that spares the Bolian (sort of).

#260: War Dragons (Captain’s Table #1)

In today’s episode, Kirk takes Sulu to a pub where time passes more slowly and stories are the coin of the realm. They tell a dovetailing pair of tales about dragon tails, set twenty years apart. How much weight is the framing device pulling here? Who’s missing from the list of Kirk’s romantic conquests? And will Sulu ever have the latently homoerotic bond with Chekov that Kirk had with Spock? All this and more in War Dragons, the book where it’s the men’s fault as usual.

#259: Spectre (Shatnerverse)

In today’s episode, James Kirk learns the price the mirror universe paid for one of his climactic Kirk speeches. But his captors might need to set the killing aside to put a hold on a Prime shipment that will quash the Terran/Vulcan rebellion permanently. When will the mirror universe run out of identical counterparts? Do Trill spots go all the way up, too? And did you ever think you would feel this sorry for Neelix? All this and more in Spectre, the book that does it one piece at a time.

#258: Planet X (TNG)

In today’s episode, a busted gadget brings the X-Men back to the 24th century, though you probably weren’t around for the first episode. Nevertheless, here they are, arriving just in time to render aid to a planet that’s starting to go through its own mutant growing pains. Which X-Person’s fault is it that they’re stranded here? Will it ever not be weird for Data to smile? And how much bridge conversation is pointless small talk? All this and more in Planet X, the book that’s selling the cure, but no one’s buying.
