5.0 out of 5 stars Insights from Inside, January 25, 2002
This review is from: Narratives from the Final Frontier: A Postcolonial Reading of the Original Star Trek Series (European University Studies Series XIV, Anglo-Saxon Language and Literature) (Paperback)
This book really astounded me. I expected to find the usual academic yawn, but what I actually discovered was a fascinating as well as insightful perspective on the original Star Trek series. And yet you always feel that the author is clearly a dyed-in-the-wool Trecker, knowing every single line by heart.

The book starts out giving the background against which Star Trek is examined. This part (about 25 pages) is of course first about literary criticism in general. But it explains what is going to come and why it is going to come in very easy-to-grasp terms, so for me this was an interesting side-trip from what I at first expected.

The main part then gets right to the heart of what Star Trek is all about and what its roots are in (con)temporary culture. If you want to know what the idea behind the series was and where the makers of Star Trek got their ideas from, "Narratives from the Final Frontier" will inform and entertain you at the same time. It gives you insights from the inside - and while it is very critical of the culture by which Star Trek was created, it is at the same time a loving reminiscence of hours spent rooted in front of the TV. GO GET IT!!
