My "Pendulum Theory" gone wild, takes over Trek.fm! Kinda.

I've been talking about it for years—just an observation—but my eighth "Supplemental" TREKLAND post for rebooted startrek.com about the pendulum swings of Star Trek fan tastes-n-trends seems to caught a lot of notice.

That includes the guys behind trek.fm's The Ready Room weekly podcast, Christopher Jones and Greg Harbin, who had me on for TRR #19, "It Doesn't Have to be Seven Years Apart," which is posted now and also available on iTunes.

Thanks to the title given the original piece by startrek.com—"Is It Time For a TNG Comeback?"—there seems to be a lot of misconception about what I meant (era/vibe/look, not specifically a Stewart/Spiner/Frakes et al reunion movie again). The TRR guys let me come on to talk about the piece and clarify some of those sidetracked misconceptions, but we also opined on The Big Trek Picture in general, especially as to any future TV return. And they were even gracious enough to let me talk about The Con of Wrath and even about the long-lost Grolst coming to light.

I hope everyone gives it a listen and becomes regular TRR listeners. It's a slick addition to their trek.fm lineup of shows and features, and one of many great Trek podcasts that Treklanders are privileged to enjoy.
