Star Trek: Voyager 25th Anniversary Special
On January 16, 1995, Star Trek: Voyager made its television debut. The fourth Star Trek series had a very different premise to its predecessors: flung 70,000 light years to the unexplored Delta Quadrant, far from the familiar Federation, the U.S.S. Voyager faced a long and perilous journey home. Across seven seasons, Captain Kathryn Janeway and her crew encountered new species, new wonders, new threats… and some very familiar adversaries for good measure. Celebrating a quarter century since the series first began, the Star Trek: Voyager 25th Anniversary Special is an essential guide to the U.S.S. Voyager’s exploration of the Delta Quadrant. Featuring an exclusive new interview with Kate Mulgrew, plus a season-by-season guide, on-set reports, and spotlights on production design and visual effects, the Star Trek: Voyager 25th Anniversary Special is the ultimate companion to the show that took the Star Trek franchise further than it had ever been before…

The Farther Shore
The Earth is in the crosshairs of an unrelenting Borg plague in this white-knuckled Star Trek thriller featuring Admiral Janeway and her crew. When an unstoppable Borg plague breaks out upon Earth, blame quickly falls on the newly returned crew of the U.S.S. Voyager. Did Kathryn Janeway and the others unknowingly carry this insidious infection back with them? Many in Starfleet think so, and Seven of Nine, in particular, falls under a cloud of suspicion. Now, with a little help from the U.S.S. Enterprise, Admiral Janeway must reunite her crew in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to discover the true source of the contagion and save Earth itself from total assimilation into a voracious new Borg Collective. But time is running out. Has Voyager come home only to witness humanity’s end?
Cult Television
A television series is tagged with the label "cult" by the media, advertisers, and network executives when it is considered edgy or offbeat, when it appeals to nostalgia, or when it is considered emblematic of a particular subculture. By these criteria, almost any series could be described as cult. Yet certain programs exert an uncanny power over their fans, encouraging them to immerse themselves within a fictional world. In Cult Television leading scholars examine such shows as The X-Files; The Avengers; Doctor Who, Babylon Five; Star Trek; Xena, Warrior Princess; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to determine the defining characteristics of cult television and map the contours of this phenomeno...

NBC
"NBC: America's Network makes a significant contribution to our understanding of American broadcasting. Hilmes makes a convincing case for the appropriateness of an examination of a single firm, NBC, to illuminate the major themes and events of American broadcast history. In addition, she adeptly synthesizes a strong set of individually-authored chapters on specific historical periods, controversies, and program genres into a coherent whole. The writing is concise and lively and the breadth and depth of the material makes this a exceptional work."—William Boddy, author of New Media and Popular Imagination "NBC: America's Network is an outstanding book about one network across US television...
