| book description |

How well do you know Star Trek? Lifelong science fiction fan, podcaster and author Tom Salinsky decided that the answer was â€œnot well enoughâ€, and so at the beginning of 2022, he embarked on a two-year mission to watch everything from the start of The Original Series to the end of Enterprise, at the rate of one episode per day. This book is the third and final part of that odyssey, covering the last five seasons of Voyager and the whole run of Enterprise plus the last two Next Generation movies. As well as having fun saluting the showâ€™s triumphs, cringing at its lapses in taste, and admiring its willingness to swing for the fences, thereâ€™s lots of fascinating behind-the-scenes information here. Did Jeri Ryan and Kate Mulgrew really hate each other? Was the Temporal Cold War always part of the plan? How did Brannon Braga and Rick Berman write so many scripts, and was that wise? And whatever happened to Stuart Baird after Star Trek: Nemesis? Youâ€™ll also get the benefit of a complete overview of these properties, which spurned the successful syndication model of Next Generation and Deep Space Nine and instead propped up the UPN channel which made them vulnerable to boardroom pressures and shareholder jitters. Whether youâ€™re a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or just someone interested in the history of television, youâ€™ll adore coming on this daily journey though the highs and lows of one of the most significant and much-loved media properties in the world.
