A Former Insider's Deep Space Deep Dive

 

When a Star Trek pitch artist turns critic, you know you're in for more than just another fan's episode rankings - and Dr. Di Lella's guide promises to boldly go where no review collection has gone before.

What immediately catches my attention about this guide is its unique perspective. As someone who actually pitched stories to Star Trek: Enterprise, Di Lella brings both an insider's understanding of storytelling mechanics and a fan's passionate appreciation to his analysis. The promise of ten distinct criteria for evaluation suggests a systematic approach that goes beyond simple "I liked it" or "I didn't like it" reactions that flood most Trek episode guides.

I'm particularly intrigued by how the book positions itself in relation to fan discourse. There's a refreshing humility in Di Lella's acknowledgment that "one fan's view is just as important as another." This isn't presenting itself as the definitive word on Trek episodes, but rather as an informed perspective meant to spark conversation and debate within the fandom.

What really sets this apart from other Trek guides is its potential to bridge the gap between casual viewing and professional analysis. With Di Lella's background in education and direct experience with the franchise's storytelling process, this promises to be both accessible and insightful - a rare combination in franchise literature.
