Quite academic in the way it studies the construction and impacts of this series. I'm enjoying some essays more than others but on the whole it's really interesting.

Gee forgot to post my progress here!! That last essay on the political meaning of Trek and its relevance to Kennedy era, and the difference between Coon and Gene's Kirk. Ugh reading at Bass Pro parking lot that day wR. Killer. Other essays I will remember: SF writers at the heart of Trek as a franchise, the explorations (more questions than answers!) of identity in Trek.

Read bits and pieces all over the place here, and just some of the essays here... Like how ST was so insightful because SCI FI writers were in charge of the stories. It frustrates me they don't do that now. Then the Greek parallels with the triumvirate, the mythological power of all that. Spock, the Other. McCoy, the traditional. How ST doesn't answer the question of identity, but *showcases* philosophy's many ideas.
