Tomorrow morning, CBS All Access will debut "There is a Tide...," the 41st episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, and the 800th installment of STAR TREK as a franchise.

That's pretty damned amazing.

I grew up with STAR TREK, on my television screen, on my bookshelf, in my comic book longboxes, and in movie theatres. Since 1999, TREK has also been a part of my professional life in some form or other....

4/

I've written prose fiction and comic books and role-playing games and reference works, and I've been writing about the show for various magazines and web sites.

5/

Most recently, I've been contributing to the STAR TREK ADVENTURES game world, and I've been writing about TREK for @tordotcom since 2011, including rewatches of the past shows and reviews of the new shows as they're released.

I'm deeply honored to have been a part of it, however small, and I look forward to the next 800 installments...........
