Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night. It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.

According to Memory Beta, Star Trek: Enterprise series editor Margaret Clark on the next release in the Enterprise book series: "The next book in this series tells the story of how Captain Hernandez (of the USS Columbia) and Captain Archer are patrolling the Klingon border and come to the aid of a merchant ship in trouble. That ship and the name of the book are Kobayashi Maru due out in 2008. "There is a reason why every Starfleet cadet takes the Kobayashi Maru simulation as a character test in Kirk's time. It has to be an important event in Starfleet history," says Clark referring to the famous opening scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Author Andy Mangels released the above teaser cover on his website, the alien text featured on this teaser is apparently a cryptogram in Romulan characters.

The translation states THE ROMULAN WAR BEGINS LATE 2008.

A larger version of the teaser cover can be found here.

Star Trek The Beginning Versus Enterprise | Report this post to moderator

I only hope those Enterprise novels will be better than the Star Trek The Bedinning script. I prefer the Enterprise characters to have a major role in the war than Tiberius Chase and Shran. We will see (or read).

    Having a Star Trek movie without the Enterprise crew would have been a major knock against it ... and explaining them away as being on vacation at Risa? Completely implausible, particularly during wartime ...

    Haven't read an Enterprise novel in a while, not since Surak's Soul. Am I missing out on anything?

      Yeah, the latest Enterprise novel titled The Good That Men Do was pretty good. It explains the secret truth behind Trip Tucker death (which involves Section 31) but I will not tell you because is a real surprise. Go read it !

Couldn't Paramount just make the Star Trek: The Beginning movies...but not call them Star Trek? There were two Bond flicks released in 1983...

Oh well, maybe they can do in literature what ENT failed to do in 4 years - an epic story.

    Enterprise did do epic stories in its fourth season - more so than TNG and Voyager.

All you Romulan lovers finally have your Romulan Wars.

This might have been a good episode.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the continuity / cannon mess.

    If it's being written by Andy Mangels (hopefully alongside regular writing partner Michael Martin), we can be almost certain of two things: it'll be a good yarn with smart dialogue, and it'll feature a token gay character so AM can push his favourite barrow.

    Magels has already written Trip's brother as gay, so maybe this time we'll get another one on the Columbia or (shock horror!) a gay Romulan..?

      I don't even understand why it's necessary to specify that. Would we report the importance of someone's colour or their sex in a trek story?

        Because Mangels just can't resist pushing his barrow.

        Honestly, he's a _very_ good writer, easily among the best of the current Trek scribes.

        In one of his earlier Trek books (can't recall which, think it was one of the Titan series?) he set up a gay relationship between two characters and it was incredibly well done -- delicate, respectful, just as you'd see a scene between a guy and a girl rather than a guy and another guy.

        But because he's an activist and the gay issue is so close to his heart, he seems to not have the discipline to draw the line there, and that's what annoys me. At the risk of venting, but by way of explanation, in his most recent Enterprise book, where only TWO sets of characters were in marriage relationships, one was Trip's parents while the other was Trip's brother and his male partner. I mean, would it have killed MM to have just held back a bit and have Trip's brother hooked up with a girl, or not even mentioned at all?

        Nope, gotta have a gay relationship in there somewhere.

        I'm not anti-gay, as you can see from my praise of MM's earlier piece. But I don't like work that lacks the discipline to hold back from an author's pet hobbyhorse.
