58: You're a Baby Daddy, Sulu! - a podcast by Trek.fm

The Captain's
Daughter.

Star Trek Generations brought us a number of shocking
moments—the death of Captain Kirk, the destruction of the
Enterprise-D—but one with less severe consequences was the
revelation that Hikaru Sulu had a daughter. It was just a nod to
the passage of time and a nice tidbit for fans that created a
connection between the Enterprise-A and Enterprise-B. But did it
really make sense? Kirk certainly seemed surprised by it.

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and
Christopher Jones discuss Peter David's solution to the Demora
Conundrum, which came in the form of the 1995 novel The Captain's
Daughter. We discuss each of the story's five main points—Death,
First Date, Memorial, Parenthood, and Life After Death—and whether
or not the solution adequately and believably fills in the
backstory of that moment in Generations.

In our news segment we take a first look at the upcoming Ships
of the Line art book, an attempt to reach younger fans with
pop-ups, IDW's plans to bring Q to the Abramsverse, and the
Starfleet Medical Officers special comics collaboration between IDW
and the Tricorder X-Prize called Flesh and Stone.
