Star Trek Magazine

captain's log

There’s a bit of a British feel to this issue of Star Trek Magazine. Though the US edition of the publication in your hands bears the seemingly unremarkable number of #73, for British readers, it’s actually issue #200 – STM having launched in the UK over a decade before it did in the US (cor blimey guv, stone the crows, etc.). We’ve not made a massive deal of it so as not to baffle our American readers, but it’s worth noting in passing, I reckon, not least because 200 issues is a pretty impressive milestone for a genre TV tie-in mag, especially when so many others have fallen by the wayside. Testament, I feel, not only to the enduring appeal of Trek, but to all the editors and writers who’ve…

summer of trek

There was so much Star Trek news at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con and Star Trek Las Vegas that it was hard to keep track of it all. Thankfully, Star Trek Magazine was on hand at both events to chronicle all the action and announcements! You can read our full reports of the Comic-Con Hall H panel on page 18 and Star Trek Las Vegas on page 74, but perhaps the biggest reveal was that the forthcoming Star Trek: Picard – which is set to debut early 2020 – will feature appearances by not only Patrick Stewart’s Star Trek: The Next Generation co-stars Brent Spiner (Data), Jonathan Frakes (Riker), Marina Sirtis (Troi), and Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh Borg), but also Star Trek: Voyager’s Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine). The Hall H…

disco 2 2 disc

Star Trek: Discovery’s acclaimed second season arrives on Blu-ray and DVD in the US and Canada on November 12, with a UK release on November 18, and European and Australian releases in the weeks following. The four-disc set comprises all 14 episodes of Season 2, along with over two hours worth of bonus material, plus the two Short Treks that tie in most closely to the season: “Runaway” – starring Tilly and Po – and “The Brightest Star,” which sheds light on Saru’s background. In addition, four episodes feature audio commentaries. Episode 1, “Brother,” has an audio commentary by Sonequa Martin-Green (Burnham) and Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman; Episode 2, “New Eden,” has a commentary by Anson Mount (Pike) and director Jonathan Frakes; Episode 12,“Through the Valley of Shadows,” has a commentary by…

picard primer

With Star Trek: Picard almost upon us, CBS Home Entertainment has lined up a new six-disc Blu-ray set bringing together key Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes and all four TNG movies. Heralded as the perfect Jean-Luc Picard primer – much as Titan’s own Star Trek: Picard: The Classic Chronicles book (available now) takes the same approach in print – the Star Trek: Picard Movie & TV Collection presents the TNG two-parters “The Best of Both Worlds” and “Chain of Command” as feature length edits. Alongside these are the films Star Trek Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and Star Trek Nemesis. The set boasts more than 10 hours of special features, including audio commentaries on each episode and film, making-of documentaries, actor and character profiles, roundtable discussions, and more.…
