Positively Trek 279: Book Club: Why Can’t We Have the Bajoran Orb of Candy Canes?

Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Echoes

The V’Ger incident has left Kirk in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise, shirking his responsibilities back at Starfleet Command to remain aboard the ship for her shakedown cruise. The cruise is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a doppelganger of Nyota Uhura from a parallel universe, on a mission to apprehend a man responsible for multiple genocides. Kirk and his crew must team with this alternate Uhura to stop a man who looks exactly like Chekov before he allies with the Romulans to develop a devastating weapon!

In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi discuss the 5-issue miniseries Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Echoes from IDW! We talk about all five issues, what we liked and didn’t like, and share our thoughts on the miniseries as a whole.
