Stephen of Borg 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Which Star Trek Companion Guide is your favorite? If you don't know what that is, it's a book that has all of the episodes and what they are about. It also tells which special guest was in the episode and it also tells a little behind the scenes thing about each episode. It also gives the history of the show and movies. The ones I have are Star Trek The Next Generation Star Trek Voyager Star Trek Deep Space Nine for the PC My favorite is probably the DS9 one just for the fact that it gives a video trailer for each episode which is really cool. This comes in real handy for when I want to tape some of the episodes off of tv. For example, I look to see what TNG and DS9 episodes are coming on Spike TV and I can look up the episode name in my companions and I can see what the episode is about and if I want to tape it. Sometimes I find out that I already have that episode on tape when I look it up in the book. Yes, I sadly have to tape the episodes off of TV. I can't afford to pay $700 on almost each series, that's way too much to pay. But if you do, more power to ya. lol :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David R. George III 0 Posted October 13, 2004 My favorite is the print edition of the Deep Space Nine Companion. The book is just filled with fascinating behind-the-scenes items, as well as the rationale behind the creative choices of the producers, writers, actors, and the like. Very involving, very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madam Captain 0 Posted March 27, 2005 I have The Voyager Companion and the print version of The Deep Space Nine Companion. I didn't know there was a PC version of the DS9 companion. Anyway, I like both companions, even though I haven't really read through the DS9 one properly yet. I purchased the Voy companion when I first started watching Trek (I started out with Voy, then DS9 and now I'm up to season 4 of TNG). I found it very helpful to read about upcoming episodes that I hadn't seen yet. Now when I want to know which season an episode is in, I can just refer to the companions. I find the companions useful if I want to find an episode that has an interesting 'side' story. For example, I wanted to watch the episode in which Nog tells Sisko he want to go to the Academy. I did some reading and found that this episode was called 'Heart of Stone'. Madam Captain out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
