    Promised I'd get this done before I got stuck into my blu-ray boxset.


    What this is is basically a site-rip of all the individual episode info from Memory-Alpha. What I wanted was something to put on my Nook with all the latest tidbits of episode info. It's very rough at the minute. Season index isn't ready yet, and I have to work out on final size of text .ect But here it is.

    It's back!

    Season index up to season 4, in and working.
    Pictures enlarged.
    Production info moved to the end as people will want to get into the trivia first.
    Episode headings and main text chosen and modified.

    What I'd like in the future for this is custom picture header pictures for the episodes. Just so people can have a visual clue on the episode they are reading about. And possibly a merging and expanding of script and story info into the production timeline.

    For now. Feel free to add or inform me any information that could be present. Any other comments or ideas welcome.

    I expaned the info for the episode Relics and added some for The Most Toys. Though it's very hard to get one up on Memory Alpha with info not already there.

    It's mostly complete now. As I stated before, what I'd like is custom pictures for the episode titles. I have no intention of doing those myself.
    Other than that I will add an episode index at some time in the future, just to make editing easier.

    Have added info to the vast majority of season 1 and season 2 episodes.

    Added a few pictures and have started replacing images taken from Memory Alpha with higher rez versions.

    Have started removing citations as they interfere with reading.

    Have added an extra article about the ever interesting Star Trek Phase II. Just so people have something else to read.

    If anyone wants to lend a hand feel free. I won't be coming back to this for at least a month.

    Here's what I did about searching for info for episodes. First Wikipedia, then a website called TvTropes https://tvtropes.org/. They have a trivia section for episodes of most TV shows. Finally I would do a search for interviews by any particular guest star.

    I've done that for episodes in season 1 and season 2 so far.

    Or If you want to tackle the Phase II article, go right ahead. All it is right now is a rip from memory alpha. If your using Libreoffce use Ctrl + Left click to use the link to it.

    I have uploaded the companion up to a more long term storage for now. If the links do happen to go down, just pm me here.

    I don't intend to do any further work on this myself. I just have too much on. :(
