Perhaps TIME went to the trouble of printing this on heavier paper stock to give it the illusion that it's worth more than the magazine's cover price. It's really not. I first noticed that many articles repeated the same information, and/or referenced the same episodes (TOS' "...Last Battlefield," TNG's "The Outcast"). Then, I found outright errors ("Private Little War" involved the Klingons, NOT the Romulans; had the editors read the entire issue, they'd have found another author getting that correct), and items that were perhaps typos. (On page 51, "On the Small Screen" caption, with the use of "This..." (instead of "The"), implies that the referenced photo is Shatner's "Get a Life" SNL skit. It's not.) Although I realize the "50 years" designation applies mostly to the original series, the other four TV series (especially the last three) and most of the films receive little discussion. I was also disappointed that quotes from cast members were scarce; it seemed as if the writers' source material consisted of web searches and Memory-Alpha.org. Some of the photo reproductions look as if they're screen-captures from VHS tapes; grainy, out-of-focus. I expected more from TIME; however, I guess the print medium isn't what it used to be.Product details

Having watched Star Trek for 50 years, I had heard most of the stories, but I love seeeong the actors tell them
Being that I am a long-time fan, none of this turned out to be new info for me, aside from some of the personal anecdotes---but the photos were nice, and surely it would be great for a new fan who's just learning the show's history. It's well-written and informative.
Take into consideration there is nothing new in this exclusive issue. This is only a gathering of articles from Time/Life articles dating back to the beginning of the 5 series.
TIME Magazine is a editorial work that cover the incredible journey of STAR TREK Universe. Mandatory for trekkers and for new generations of Fans. I ve started my devotion to the series in a weekly basis - watching the ORIGINAL SERIES in Black and White, here in Brazil, and so far from the memorabilia made for the series - anyway, the passion for STAR TREK catch me from the first episode.
This is one of Time's special edition MAGAZINES! Not worth $13.99 IMHO. Cursory overview. But it depends on what your looking for. It is nicely illustrated.
If you are any sort of fan of Star Trek, this is the publication for you! 50 years of an amazingly diverse, well cast, evolutionary show and the sequel shows and movies that followed and continue to arrive. Roddenberry was a genius! Great reading, and it will bring back old memories.TIME Star Trek Inside The Most Influential Science Fiction Series Ever
Star Trek has been a very influential show for me nearly my entire life, as it has for many people. I think this magazine is an interesting, in depth look at the iconic television series. I know many people have complained that the magazine focuses a lot on the original series, and not others, but honestly, it was the ORIGINAL series that debuted 50 years ago this year, so it should rightfully be the one that gets the most focus. The articles are interesting and informative, and I even learned a few things I never knew from reading them.
The only real complaint is that it needed more pictures, and I would have preferred that the magazine photos had been glossy, but honestly, I cannot complain. It is an interesting read nonetheless and I am happy to add it to my bookshelf.
