43: Fifty Shades of QQ and Trelane
Comics.
Is Trelane a Q? Certainly this was never the intent when Paul
Schneider penned the TOS episode “The Squire of Gothos.” But in the
years since, the literary world of Star Trek has retconned the good
general (retired), endowing him with the powers of the Continuum
and a backstory to go with it. But a year before Peter David made
Trelane a renegade Q in Q-Squared, Steven Wilson essentially merged
him with the Continuum in a comic called “A Little Man-to-Man
Talk.” In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and
Christopher Jones explore this DC comic along with Marvel’s 1998
“An Infinite Jest,” which brings the two omnipotent characters
face-to-face. In news we check in on the cover art for Kirsten
Beyer’s upcoming Voyager novel Protectors and we review the third
part of The Khitomer Conflict comic from IDW.
# The Khitomer ConflictA storyline in the Star Trek comics produced by IDW that explores significant events around the Khitomer Accords.
