23: Mindmelding with an Obelisk
The Enterprise Experiment.
As series finales go "Turnabout Intruder" wasn't much of one. But
that's because it wasn't at all the end of the journey. Sadly the
five-year mission of the Enterprise got cut short for those of us
watching on the tube. But certainly there were more missions that
followed Kirk's little body-switching adventure. In this episode of
Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones explore
the five-part comic series Star Trek: Year Four: The Enterprise
Experiment and one such mission. Penned by TOS writer D.C. Fontana,
The Enterprise Experiment pulls together elements from three famous
Original Series episodes and mixes it with more modern Star Trek
legends to create a story worthy of the big screen.
In our news segment we check in on Christopher L. Bennett's Rise of
the Federation: A Choice of Futures, Star Trek Ongoing #22, and
IDW's plans for a second release of the Black, Blue, and Red Label
editions of Ongoing.
# Enterprise ExperimentA five-part comic series that explores a fictional mission of the USS Enterprise, blending classic Star Trek elements with contemporary themes.
