Apologies, folks, that there hasn't been a MainPage post in a few days, but this is my wifey's birthday weekend, so I've been away from the house quite a bit the past few days. Don't fret, however, as the normal flow of things should return this Tuesday.
I did want to pop online today as I noticed on the World Wide Web yesterday that word had hit regarding the passing of Star Trek veteran producer Jeri Taylor. Hers might not have been a huge name in certain circles, but I think most die-hard Trek enthusiasts knew of the lady's incredible contribution to the franchise. If memory serves, she joined where no one had gone before not too long into the Next Generation's run, and then she held on through the cruise through the Delta Quadrant that was Voyager. While I was never a huge fan of that particular iteration, I still believe her name was attached to a lot of its better outings.
In fact, I distinctly remember reading and being particularly smitten with her Pathways novel: it was a Voyager adventure that very credibly flashed out the various backgrounds of the crew (in print) and showed how their respective experiences truly added to 'saving the day' in that book. The overall state of Trek fiction being a dire straits (for so much as I care), I'd still give that tome a thumbs up for anyone who wants to read something worthwhile with Janeway and company as it was top notch storytelling.
Our warmest prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Jeri Taylor.
May she rest in peace.
