Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
This American magazine gives the impression of being a newsletter-come-factual-zine. Most of the articles in this issue are written by the editor (4 of the 5 staff have the same surname, which makes it very much a family affair).There are short articles about one or two of the actors, some snippets of scientific fact, some gossip, something about the Klingon language, a short script that seems to be based on 'Vulcan's secession from the Federation' as postulated in Spock's World (though set in TNG's time) and a short story - an alternate prequel to ST VI, telling how the conspiracy recruited Saavik. (This last was not properly proofed; the first half of the second column of it was printed after the second half, and is a mistake that should have been caught).
The articles were interestingly written, but I felt that the story and the script were included in this issue to fill space and make the zine an acceptable length. Well the first issue of anything is liable to have problems filling its pages; I would like to see two or three more issues before passing a definite opinion on its quality, I did however feel that for its length it is rather over-priced.
