Theres a lot. and I mean a lot of text devoted to recapping and summarizing episodes that as a Trek fan Ive seen dozens of times or more. I learned some things about the supporting cast that I didnt know. but thats about it.IMHO - the best Star Trek TOS book is Stephen E. Whitfields "The Making Of Star Trek." I bought my first copy ca. 1972.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Be An Educated Star Trek Fan!By Jym CherryIve been a fan of a few things in my life. Star Trek. Star Wars. The Doors. and I think Im educated in the fan(aticisms) of my choice. The one common factor Im finding in reading books in the FAQ series is that Im discovering new things on subjects I thought I knew well and "The Star Trek FAQ" is no exception.The "Star Trek FAQ" takes you from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberrys life through every aspect of the original 79 episode Star Trek series that ran from 1966-1969. I was especially intrigued by the early years of Roddenberrys career. how he went from Los Angeles cop to TV producer. and of the pre-history of Star Trek. Not only reading the biographies (and the post Star Trek lives) of the actors. but also the histories of the shows producers and writers and the input they had under their names and pseudonyms makes you feel you can be a more educated Star Trek viewer.Author Mark Clark will take you through the trials and tribulations (not tribblations) of Roddenberrys getting Star Trek made from casting to pilots. to the struggles of getting good scripts to the screen. the chemistry of the shows stars and some of their disagreements. the aliens the crew of the enterprise met. the problems and issues the show tackled. as well as the highpoints and low points of the series. The "Star Trek FAQ" also goes into post series life of the animated series. the conventions. the novels and novelizations. Roddenberrys post Trek TV series and the attempts to revive a Star Trek series and leading right to the movies. inspired as much by Star Trek fandom and being Paramounts antidote to the success of "Star Wars."There are a couple of minor caveats of the "Star Trek FAQ." One is the repetition of certain Star Trek episodes as being models of the best episodes of Star Trek. writing. acting. or production such as "The Menagerie." "Where No Man Has Gone Before." "The City on the Edge of Forever." "Arena." "Devil in the Dark." and their repeated synopsis. And the reverse of that is the interjection of the authors vociferous opinion on the worst episodes that descends into opinion such as "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" which cleverly makes its point at the end of the episode.Even if youre a Star Trek fan youll discover new things about the series. and if youre not a fan of the series by the end of the book you just might find yourself a Star Trek fan. and maybe a fan of the FAQ series.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
