—Ruth Amsden, Treksphere.com

"My Star Trek bookshelf is brimming with tomes, but there's nothing else quite like The Star Trek Book of Friendship.”

I was expecting this to be a collection of insightful essays on the theme of friendship in Star Trek, but it wasn't. It was simply a collection of "dialogues" that seem like transcripts from a podcast. The two authors had a few good insights here and there, but I would have appreciated a more in-depth discussion of the various facets of friendship in Star Trek.

I really love this book. It puts in great perspective the friendships of a lot of the characters in the Star Trek franchise. Some are just so endearing to read about, and it’s such a great cozy feeling that these friendships have stood the test of time. If you are a Star Trek fan, you need to add this to your collection. The cover picture is my favorite. Friendship is priceless. Even if the characters are fictional. Also a great gift for a Dad who is a Star Trek fan.

Irgendwie hatte ich es mir denken können, dass der Kauf hier ein Griff ins Klo war.

Hier geht es lediglich um zwei Unterhaltungen. Die Einführung machen Robert Picardo ("Der Doktor") und Ethan Phillips ("Nervix"). Beide schmieren sich Honig ums Maul.

Nachdem wir im ersten Abschnitt dann schon aufs Würgen eingespielt wurden, geht es weiter. Zwei und ab und an auch ein dritter Fan (ein weiblicher Star Trek Fan. Auch so etwas soll es geben) labern quer durch die Bank über Star Trek Freundschaften, Bromances und Frenemies, kommen dabei oft zu denselben Ergebnissen. Sie widersprechen sich selten. ALLE haben sich lie... buargs.

Sie springen durch Serien hin und her ohne Irgendwie einen Plan zu haben. Natürlich sind es Anhänger des mehr als woken Lagers. Als ich schon cis und mehr als straight und white gelesen hab, hätte ich beinahe zur Spucktüte gegriffen. Das sind genau die linksten Ansichten, die alles wirklich nur darauf reduzieren und Charaktere drumrum schreiben.

Drolligerweise ist die auf der Rückseite des kleinen Bändchen erwähnte Freundschaft wobei es hier eher um eine Mutter - nimmt man den Betonkopphaarschnitt für bare Münze - Großmutter/Tochter bzw. ENKELIN-Beziehung zwischen Janeway und Seven überhaupt nicht im Band enthalten. Vermutlich weil sich die beiden Darstellerinnen wie die Pest gehasst haben.

Die beiden mögen wirklich alles. Selbst DST und Picard. Und die Serien haben sich wahrlich nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert bzw. sind zumindest kritikwürdiger zu beleuchten als das hier der Fall war.

Was bleibt ist eine langweilige Analyse zweier Fans, die begeistert über die dargestellten fiktiven Freundschaften sinnieren. Also genau das, was 40jährige Nerds im Keller von Mama und Papa so machen. Und ein paar annehmbare Illustrationen. Für Fans und Komplettisten allenfalls aufgrund letzterer einen Blick wert. Der Inhalt wird von mir wohl nicht noch einmal gelesen.

Just two people commenting on the friendships in start trek and their views on it.

Was hoping for something more. If you were looking for new insight or some little stories, you are going to be disappointed.
