Here is what I'm going to start reading later today.
I decided since I have really ever read only one Star Trek novel from pocket books that is the publishing company that puts out the Star Trek novels I figured it won't hurt to try reading some Star Trek after the last book I read which was V The SECOND GENERATION , it is also wonderfully placed right after the series directly ends... I remember a few years ago before finding my new place that my step brother Lyle had gotten this
from when he was working for a short time at Barnes & Nobles for Christmas in 1998 or maybe it was in 2000 I can't recall but it sure is nice to have this poster with all original series novelizations before J.J. Abrams newer take on the series as a whole from two thousand and nine. I have a blog that I'm putting together about the whole Star Trek history that I'm sure any Trek fan will certainly enjoy it will be entitled: "A SCI- FI legend known as STAR TREK" I also remember saying in a past V novel posting of reading this and a DS9 series called the MILLENNIUM trilogy but as I said I just hope these are related to STAR TREK DS9 after all it was my favorite one after the original to me as how the story went.
Hey let me just take a second to ask you what do you know about the history of the star ship named USS Enterprise? or who, are the Borg? and who was the first captain of the Enterprise?, Please will you join me on a tour of A Sci-Fi legend known as STAR TREK......... As everyone knows I am a BIG SCI FI NERD or geek whatever you wish to call me by I'm fine with that. I have loved scenic fiction as I've said before for a very long time, I love it in comic form 
like superheroes, or even a form of cartooning known as Anime my all time favorite is a series from the late seventies to revival a movie series known as simply STAR WARS
and you all know the history of STAR WARS or at least I hope you would in some way or other? So what is the anime that came out around the same time that I was referring to was called STAR BLAZERS. 
It like all science fiction series of the time following a decade earlier were set in someway or other to the format of a science fiction series known as Star Trek. Star Trek when first conceived in the mid sixties by a fellow known as Gene Roddenberry as "A Wagon Train to the stars" as he put it. Who was this guy named Roddenberry and how did his television history come about your wanting to know right? Gene Roddenberry was born in 1921 on August 19th
(GR,B:AUGUST19th,1921-D:OCTOBER 24th,1991) to Eugene Edward Roddenberry & his wife Caroline "Glen" Roddenberry in El Paso Texas. After high school he took courses to be like his father a police officer while completing the courses in 1940 he became interested in aeronautical engineering and obtained a pilot's licensee. In 1941 he enlisted in the United States Army Air corps which in that same year was renamed the United States Army Air Force. He flew eighty nine missions altogether but his first was on a B-17E flying fortress named "Yankee Doodle" from Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides when mechanical failure cause it to crash during take off. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross when he left the Air force in 1945. He then went to work for three years time for Pan American airways. He then decided to get his foot in the door in the 1950's but while waiting he went on to become a Police officer in Los Angles he wrote some scripts while on the force for "Highway Patrol" and "Have Gun, will Travel" then he left the police force in 1956. After a few years of being a freelance writer Gene in 1960 tried his first attempt at creating his own work called APO923 but no network would buy it. His second attempt worked only shorty but got his foot into Hollywood it was a series called "THE LIEUTENANT" (Which by the way on Memorial day weekend at Best Buy I saw on DVD), it was set in the Untied States Marine Corps with future Star Trek star Nichelle Nichols in the first episode that was in 1963.
Roddenberry developed Star Trek in 1964 thinking it as a combination of science fiction series like Buck Rogers
and
Flash Gordon. The first Pilot of Star Trek was called
"THE CAGE", it was about a space ship and her crew the ship was known as a earth vessel called the Enterprise.
It was on it's way back from Rigel VII to Vega Colony to get the personnel who were mortally wounded help, and to replace those who had been lost during whatever had happen on the planet, this had distributed the ship's commanding officer Christoper Pike when it
received a call for help from human scientists on a class-M planet known as Talos IV. When they arrived on the planet's surface they learned it had been devastated centuries ago by nuclear war and the captain Christopher Pike was captured by the inhabiting race of that world known as the Talosians. 
The Talosians were a race that could only communicate by telepathy and they had a human female named Vina who was the only survivor 
of the S.S. Columbia expedition which crashed on Talos IV in 2236. The Talosians put out a distress call into outer space as bait for any spacecraft passing into their solar system for an experiment. Christoper Pike not knowing of what the experiment was surprised when he sees in his holding cell Vina herself with him and was now even more confused by the Talosians thought process why would they want him or anyone from his ship to help them and what was it they were wanting perplexed him. Still the crew of the Enterprise never gave up on trying to get Pike back they used their phasers 
to try to blast the rocky cliff where they see one of the Talosians taking an unconscious Pike to who knew where? on this very strange planet. As these tests that the Talosians were using on Pike were conducted Pike learned one thing that whatever the test was the girl known as Vina was with him each time.
The first test was from on the last planet the ship was at known as Rigel VII where Pike had to protect her during a fight with a violent war like beast as she ran towards 
this castle. When Pike had killed the attacking beast he had realized he was still in the cell of the Talosians with Vina as he started thinking of how to get answers from questions from Vina she was gone , and standing in front of him was a Talosian wanting to offer him nourishment. Yet when Pike refused to cooperate in consuming his nourishment he 
was punished. Meanwhile above the planet on the Enterprise the crew was trying to think of a way to get the captain back, when Mister Spock suggested that buzzing around on the planet's surface may cause more harmful to both their commanding officer and the ship they still decided to chance it. So with a very powerful laser cannon known as 
a energy weapon they tired blasting the mountain cliff of where these aliens held their captain.By this time Pike had given up trying to talk his way out of escaping (although that wasn't really his intentions) he talk about a Husband and wife type relationship with the Talosian who had just punished him, come to find out he next
sees Vina and his horse Tango in his place of home Mojave. The Talosians had finally realized themselves that human thoughts belie even a human's own thoughts and decided to see how Pike would realize this too by preforming one last test for this man Vina had wanted as her "ADAM". The next test was one of seduction/temptation by the Talosians in which Vina
was a Orion slave girl, Pike finally realized that these aliens had him where they wanted him to start a race of human beings with this girl from a crashed ship from eighteen years ago. The Enterprise was getting ready to beam down a landing party to once again try to find the captain only when the transporter chiefs tired to send the party of six down, 
only two left the ship the captain's yeoman and the first officer. When Vina sees the other two females she protested that it be her as Pike's choice, there happens to be a very funny line between Vina and the First officer (more on that next time...). The crew of the Enterprise prepares to take the ship outta Talos IV orbit, when Pike catches one of the 
Talosian, trying to kill the two new females?, to assure that they have a human male to make human salves to make machines to help the Talosian race thrive once more. When Pike fights the Talosian in a form of a alien ape, the alien says he or any of the other Talosians can make the crew of the Enterprise press "ANY" wrong button and blow up the space vessel without knowing it, Vina confirms that the Talosian isn't at all lying, this is when Pike fires one of the phaser's of the other two captured officers at their holding cell
only to see that the Talosian was still trying to keep at least Pike to bring their plans to fruition, when Pike threaten to blast his head off the alien revealed what the Phaser had truly done. All of them head to the planet's surface ready to leave the planet for good, when the first officer notices that everything seems to be an illusion where they exit to the surface and the Talosian pleads one last time for Pike to remain when the other Talosians appears to tell him that they must all die from the star ship, the first officer sets her phaser to explode since death is the only way out, realizing this the Talosians let the Enterprise crew go since they are so fearful/resistance to being controlled at all. Pike invites Vina to come with them back to the ship when she refuses he still doesn't understand till her form changes completely to the way 
,the Talosians tried to fix this young woman from eighteen years ago. Pike finally realizes what Vina had wanted all along and ask the aliens to give her back her youth, which they do and more with a illusion of himself at her side. Then the ship continues on to the Vega colony to help it's injured personnel from Rigel VII. So did the networks get what was promised them a Space western?, NOT AT ALL, but at least one of the heads of the network saw something that made it worthy of maybe a second chance! Was Gene ready if a another such chance did present itself?, truly only time could tell.......
To be Continued......
Hey LOST Fans,As we all know Tonight's the Ultimate end to our little saga known as LOST, it starts at seven with a series overview up till season six. Then at eight a recap of everything in season six related till nine O'clock when then series finale starts and runs for two and half hours, but even then it's NOT OVER because then the LOST cast will appear on a very special Jimmy Kimmell Live. Oh I think that I forgot something about LOST what was it now?, Ah yes last night ABC network showed the LOST pilot of how it all began. 
I'm sure most LOST fans know who this guy is and if you don't he's known as Jack Shepard one of the main Oceanic 815 flight survivors that as we have come to know much like the bible's Gideon. Whom through most of this only wanted to get off the Island that he and his fellow survivors where brought to for a purpose. (That 's Jack not Gideon) Gideon rescued GOD's people from Midian. It took quite a while for both men to understand what they are meant to do? for each continued to question in some way till the end.
Any way yesterday I was so antsy about wanting a LOST T-shirt for tonight's last hooray of the series end, so I went out to Columbia Center to try to find a any. I went to every clothing store there and nothing was to be found. I instead decided that since I was out at the center to go see IRON MAN 2. 
It was my reward to myself for never finding a LOST T- shirt but before I started this very blog I went surfing on the internet for something LOST related since it's what I wanted to hopefully wear for tonight's gala of the LOST series as a whole and here's what I found of sorts. I found this Dharma shirt
, which truly is very funny in a way because before I left for Cuenca Ecuador I saw a Albertson's customer with a red SWAN hatch one on and had gotten me to wanting one I guess? Then I found on a site a LOST actuation going on for series props and found a DHARMA RUM bottle that sawyer & Juliet were sharing at the end of season four. 
I then went to the ABC.com web store, yes the network has it's own website, well don't you (sorry about that, I meant by choice for you the reader) here are just a few things I found there to remember the LOST series. A few bobble heads
that will be out in August. A Drive Shaft ring
of Charlie's two man band of his brother and himself made off the Island. (points to you if you can recall what his song was he sung on the Island). And yes I found numerous LOST, T shirts as well here the best for any TRUE LOST FAN I believe don't you
? And finally before I leave to my own LOST party I've just got to ask did any fans see this fan created clip in the ads of last week's last regularly aired episode of the series. You will have go to YouTube - Fan created ad that won LOST series summerrised aid on May 18,2010.AVI watch it I'm afraid to have to say.
HEY ALL LOST FANS,
AS I sit here writing about the last few hours before the end of LOST, I bet you won't be able to guess what I'm listening to? LOST, has over a million fans worldwide that have enjoyed the series run which ends tomorrow night Sunday May23,2010. I know outside of all the flashbacks, flash forwards time traveling side verse (that's if the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 never crashed on the island type of storytelling known as for season six of the series). I'm just curious how big of a fan of this series are you and how big is you own collection of LOST stuff. Well here is my stuff besides a mass amount of LOST, wallpaper images for my computer desktop. 
I know that no matter what I myself WILL truly miss this fantastic series so very much for I gotta say I could relate in some way or other to every character in some fashion. I myself never did give up on the show when the third season came along for I knew that the writers would fix the said slumps in the road that drove a lot of viewers away. I knew from the start of this series I was a DIE HARD FAN because when season one was released on DVD in two thousand five I WATCHED IT three times in a row before lending it out to any one I knew and YES that's the real honest truth. I also stuck to the series when in two thousand seven the writers strike was on in full swing. If this show in any way made you think of the show Gillian's Island boy do I have a surprise for you, 
we will find out that in a missing story from the series was intended for Gillian to open a Dharma hatch to only fall into it and he meets Sawyer who calls him "Another Raft Boy?, Great just freaking Great" while he's trying to woo a certain young lass known as "Freckles" yet again. That will be a hidden Easter egg in the sixth season DVD set. No but seriously this series should have NOT an END but made into the greatest movie franchises ever. I know I'd see it in a heartbeat. So will I miss LOST, sure I will but will I ever forget it NEVER!
Hello media fans, I can certainly say that I am very happy for the show know as LOST, even though I wish it would go for a few more seasons on the ABC network. Here is how addicted anyone who watches the show must feel really charged but sadden to see this energized show leave the airwaves. If your a die hard of this show you'll know the very meaning of everything in this image: 
but for another show that was and yes I did say was a great geek show as well almost as much as LOST, had their fourth year end on the Peacock network last February with the youngest of these HEROES, revealing to the 
world at large of their existentialism by falling from the top of a carnival's Ferris wheel, but as I found out surfing the internet earlier today HEROES, will have only a half season to complete it's run so the comic book themed show cannot in it own right have it's very own series finale. You'd think that while this show was on and since I love comics so much that this would draw me right to it?, Right?, well since it was on at the same time slot as LOST was during it second season you know WHICH show won. I do happen to have all of the first three seasons on DVD. I have even watch a big portion of season three on the air when it was broadcasting and I was hooked with all the comic book references I was like how the bleeding zippy do da could I have miss such a great counter part to LOST , this very show has it's own identity very much in their own way. This also goes to show all the more why NBC fails as a network it can't keep a series that a lot people like going or at least it seems that way with the network also canceling for the first time Law and Order and heck how many spin offs has that series alone had? The only good show on NBC in my option is Jeopardy! the game show. I just hope that HEROES, can find a better home on either ABC, CBS, or the SYFY channel for it was just starting to break the ice of even the media it represents the most: COMICS.
Hey everyone,
I know that this is being put out a little late since Mother's Day was on Sunday, but I had to really think of what I wanted to put into the meaning of this subject, and Fathers don't fret I will pay you a homage when the time comes due. All mothers are very special and for many reasons most importantly they give birth to their offspring. They love and nurture them all of their waking moments of the child's life, both mothers and fathers hope that by showing an example in a lesson that they have taught it easy enough if not simple enough for the child to understand right from wrong. A mother does a lot more than just watch the kids or do just house hold chores while the husband is off at work, in fact as the children grow she may ask them with help in doing those chores so that the kid will learn something called independence. Sometime in a family especially these days it takes two sources of income to make a household work, and what both parents need to do is decide should the young ones be home alone, (please no comments on those John Hughes films with the troubled child actor Macaulay Culkin please), and where should their child be if not at a day care type of place then perhaps maybe with a family friend or even in a after school active. Mothers may at times like I've noted before may lose a child before or at birth, but this by any means doesn't mean that they didn't love or loved that new offspring that they were wanting to bring joy and happiness into their own life. I want to share a moment that I had with my own mother while I was visiting her and my step father Chuck in Cuenca Ecuador, where they now live.
This was from the end of the Cuenca bus tour as you can see all of Cuenca is behind us. I still miss my folks even though I just came back from seeing them only a few weeks ago. I want to let every mom I know out there that I know your a good friend of mine or I at least hope it shows in how I respect you for all you bring to be good within this beautiful place we call plant earth.
Today is known as "The Day of National Prayer Day" I know that everyone who reads this blog may or may not believe that there is a God, but weather you do believe or not isn't truly the point. What is the point is will you please remember to pray about something very meaningful to you today, weather it's about how you relate to GOD, or how you relate to your own place in this world. Remember that the greatest things that you or someone else pray about sometimes it may take a short while to happen or it may take a very long time to happen in how it will be answered, but know it will NEVER EVER go unanswered for sure. The many things that I pray for myself have been rewarded for the most part. In fact a hour before off of work today I prayed about making this a understandable read about this very subject matter to GOD. HE must have heard me very loudly because HE said this will show me your love about a great matter between you and I also I don't see a negativeness in sharing from your heart my son. So once again please pray for something meaningful to you that you know that matters to GOD as well. Again thanks for taking time to pray today. 
I decided since I have really ever read only one Star Trek novel from pocket books that is the publishing company that puts out the Star Trek novels I figured it won't hurt to try reading some Star Trek after the last book I read which was V The SECOND GENERATION , it is also wonderfully placed right after the series directly ends...
