Welcome to Volume 1 of my Star Trek Compendium: Join me, Sebastian Prooth of Seb’s Raw Takes on a guided tour of my latest Star Trek blog entries and exclusive DVD commentaries you can download here for free! Please check below the main body of this post for my personal, recommended Star Trek links. If you haven’t already guessed from the content here, I am a Star Trek fan but I am more interested in learning from the production so that I can apply it as a writer / producer one of these days.
Make sure you bookmark Seb’s Raw Takes because there will be more interviews with Star Trek actors and production personnel very soon! Look forward to seeing Robert Picardo, the Emergency Medical Holographic Doctor from Star Trek Voyager interviewed here within the next month!

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the interviewees for generously sharing their time with us, the Star Trek Community. I would also like to acknowledge Artie Wayne for the concept of these compendium blog posts. If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me.
First off, I would like to say, Happy First Contact Day! It is April 5th and in 56 years the Vulcans might land in Montana as long as the Borg don’t screw it up! (Kidding about the Vulcan thing, but it is supposed to be the day that Earth first makes contact with Earth on Star Trek)
This is the fourth downloadable commentary I have made available for download, the subject film, Star Trek Generations. Generations was the first feature film adventure for Star Trek The Next Generation cast. It has been, until recently, not one of my favourite Star Trek films. I used to think the writing was quite weak, didn’t like the Enterprise B scene etc. When I watched the film the other day to record this commentary, I noticed quite a few things I hadn’t seen before and hopefully it makes the commentary an interesting one.
I have not listened to the commentary myself yet but as far as I remember no major factual mistakes were made by me this time. One thing you may notice is for a great deal of the final act, I am pretty silent. I just didn’t have much to say in the character scenes between Picard and Kirk.
This is the last Star Trek TNG movie commentary left so from here, if I continue to record these, I would go for The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country. If there are any episodes of Star Trek TNG or Voyager you would like commentary over, please drop me a line and I will put it on the list.

Due to the great reception that my previous commentary for Star Trek Insurrection received, I decided to continue on that pattern. This evening I recorded a full audio commentary for Star Trek First Contact. I hope that I bring something a little different to the table than the director or writer commentary available on the Special Edition DVD.
I heard on mistake as I was listening back to the file, I mention that Star Trek First Contact is ALMOST 10 years old, it is in more like almost 11 years old, oops. In order to make use of this commentary start it playing right as the Paramount logo appears, exactly at the beginning of the film. It is important to make sure it is in sync with the film as I reference things that are on screen that very second.
I hope you enjoy this commentary for Star Trek First Contact, if you are coming to read this because you heard me on the Treks in Sci Fi podcast, thanks for listening. Rick and I hope to work together on a commentary sometime! If you came here from my Memory-Alpha profile I hope you stick around and check out some of the other Star Trek related work I have here on the blog.
