Fade In: The Writing of Star Trek\\nInsurrection

\\n

When the lights went down in the theater in 1998, we\\nall sat there with\\xa0trepidation. We hoped that the new Star\\nTrek movie would live up to it\'s predecessor First Contact and when\\nit didn\'t, many of us wondered what had gone wrong. Jonathan Frakes\\nhad directed and Michael Piller had written the script, this should\\nhave been a dynamic duo.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew\\nRushing and Dan Gunter are joined by Larry Nemecek and Daniel\\nProulx to discuss Michael Piller\'s unpublished book Fade In. We\\nwonder why Trek is always trying to relive it\'s glory days, talk\\nabout the first story idea Star Trek: Stardust, what happens after\\nRick Berman and Patrick Stewart see the script, the stripping away\\nof the Star Trekness, Ira Steven Behr\'s thoughts, what the studio\\nwanted, as well as ask the questions of whether fans really know\\nwhat\'s best and if this book helps us feel better about the\\nmovie.

\\n

In the news segment we judge a book by it\'s cover as\\nwell as look forward to James Swallow\'s newly announced Five Year\\nMission novel.
