Reviews
The "Star Trek: The Original Series" 2018 Wall Calendar certainly lives up to its billing by including full-color photos of the Starship Enterprise's original bridge crew. But there are signs that Universe Publishing needs either a better photo editor for projects such as these-or a fresh approach to the product.This year's calendar features a head shot of Sulu from "The Lights of Zetar," but it's so generic that it could have come from any third-season episode in which Sulu appeared. And since "Zetar" showcased Scotty, why couldn't a still featuring him have been used to represent that episode? Instead, the engineer's represented by a generic still of him operating the transporter from "Arena"-a Kirk-centric story.Also, there's a still of an Enterprise flyby from "The Ultimate Computer," but it could have come from any "TOS" episode. And the head shot of Spock from "Amok Time" has appeared many times before in Trek products of this nature.Perhaps in coming years, Universe should consider commissioning original artwork based on "TOS" episodes, as is the case with the "Ships of the Line" calendar series. Or perhaps Universe could use cover artwork from Pocket Books' many previous "TOS" novel releases.This is by no means a bad calendar. With some fresh thinking on the publisher's part regarding the artwork, future editions of the "TOS" Wall Calendar could be better.
