Reactions and Reviews

When Shaun gave me a copy of Trek Talk to review, my first instinct was to look at the massive amount of text on
 the cover of this letterzine. But it was well-placed text, and very interesting. Trek Talk is that rare breed of vanishing fan
zines, dedicated to intelligent, insightful and intuitive conversation among fellow fans. Thankfully there exist some places (like the halls of our beloved Enterprise America) where free speech without explosive confrontation exist; Trek Talk is another wonderful avenue of this type of conversation. The first section is usually news and rumors, followed by "Subspace Communications", direct chat with everyone in the club and response to their earlier entries. This is the same style as an APA (old fanzine term meaning "amateur press association"). Editor Deena Brooks then moves toward other things such as reviews, polls, episode evaluations and convention reports. There's even a neat "Dear Cindy" column written by Cindy Oeppi, with some Q&A going on. Actually, if you're in the mood to just talk to people, Trek Talk" is a most interesting and enjoyable place to do it... and even if you're not interested in responding, you might as well just take a quick read. But I warn you, you'll probably get the urge to pick up a pen or boot the computer before you're through.
