Captain's log. Stardate 6051. Had trouble sleeping last night. My hiatal hernia is acting up. The ship is drafty and damp. I complain, but nobody listens.

Heroes are nothing without a good villain. From the Klingons to the Gorn, Star Trek: The Original Series had many memorable adversaries, but no single baddie was as great as Khan Noonien Singh. Of course, we know him simply as Khan. Or, "KHAAAAAAN!"The genetically engineered superhuman first appeare...

Whoo-hoo!

A friend just notified me of this. Way back in 1985, I wrote a Star Trek novel Ishmael - it wasn't called Original Trek then because in 1985, it's the only Trek there was. In it, Spock mentions that his name is S'Chn T'Gai Spock (unpronounceable, as specified in the series). And THAT's the name the Paramount has officially declared (in the new series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) is Spock's name.

"...this is not an unfamiliar name to fans of classic Star Trek novels. Barbara Hambly’s Pocket Book novel Ishmael, first released in 1985, gave S’Chn T’Gai as Spock’s name. It was established that, in a similar manner to how the Bajorans naming conventions work—where, for example, Deep Space Nine’s Major Kira Nerys’ given name is Nerys, not Kira—Vulcan names are inverted, and S’Chn T’Gai is actually Spock’s family name. Spock had previously alluded to having a first name in the Star Trek season 1 episode “This Side of Paradise,” where he described it as “unpronounceable.” Not any more, apparently!

…Now, classic Star Trek fiction is having its legacy live on in TV once more with the canonization of S’Chn T’Gai."

And that makes me Mr. Spock's godmother!

This delights me as much as winning a Hugo or a Nebula. Maybe more.
