From the Editorial

In the following pages, we will attempt to fill a void in the hearts and minds of those who have seen STAR TREK Ill: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, and still have questions that need to be answered; scenes they'd like to see completed involving characters who were left hanging in the neverland of Paramount Pictures' Star Trek Universe.

We focus, in this issue, on our favorite Vulcan, and hope to expand in future issues to explore Kirk and others after STAR TREK III. And if, after STAR TREK IV, sometime in 1986, the void is still felt, we will continue with our quest to satisfy the ardent and faithful.

[...]

An age statement is required, due to the explicit nature of one story.

  • Star Trek III Gripes, essay by Ann Miller ("Perhaps this is tacky, perhaps we should simply be grateful to have a movie at all, but who of us hasn't heard the old saying, "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right."? Paramount, evidently. There was so much right with STIII that the first, even the second, viewing was nothing but satisfying delight. After all, we got Spock back. Still....") (23)
