and the multiple retailer versions out there (not a fan of this practice). \u00a0I also talk about two cool, new Trek books. \u00a0One is an art book of retro style \u00a0TOS episode posters by Juan Ortiz called: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Star-Trek-The-Juan-Ortiz\/dp\/1781166706\/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1379263385&amp;sr=8-1-spell&amp;keywords=juan+ortzi+trek\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Star Trek: \u00a0The Art of Juan Ortiz.&#8221;<\/a> \u00a0A terrific collection of episode posters for TOS. \u00a0Next is another great book of reference materials on TOS called, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/These-are-Voyages-TOS-Season\/dp\/0989238113\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1379263561&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=%22The+Are+the+Voyages%3A+TOS+Season+One\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Are the Voyages: \u00a0TOS Season One&#8221;<\/a> by Marc Cushman and Susan Osborn. \u00a0A great reference chronicling the making of season one for the original series. \u00a0Then I move to our episode for this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cloud Minders&#8221; is a tale of the haves and have nots. \u00a0It has many similarities to the recent &#8220;Elysium&#8221; film out last month. \u00a0I enjoyed looking back at this story and feel it&#8217;s a pretty good third season entry for TOS. \u00a0There are some good guest stars, the story moves along, and we get to see an interesting new society. \u00a0I play several clips and comment about the episode passing on behind the scenes info too. \u00a0Long time Trek writer, David Gerrold came up with the original story idea for this one and I think it&#8217;s a good one. \u00a0Hope you enjoy my discussion of the episode. \u00a0That wraps things up for this week. \u00a0Next week Chris &amp; Joby will be here to discuss the big topic of Stephen King. \u00a0So, enjoy your week ahead and take care until next time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5541\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3105-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/treksinscifi\/www.treksinscifi.com\/podcasts\/TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/treksinscifi\/www.treksinscifi.com\/podcasts\/TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3\">http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/treksinscifi\/www.treksinscifi.com\/podcasts\/TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/treksinscifi\/www.treksinscifi.com\/podcasts\/TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('http:\/\/treksinscifi.com\/podcast_notes\/?powerpress_pinw=3105-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/treksinscifi\/www.treksinscifi.com\/podcasts\/TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"TreksinSciFi_454_Cloud_Minders.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"http:\/\/treksinscifi.com\/podcast_notes\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week it&#8217;s a classic style podcast covering the third season TOS episode, &#8220;The Cloud Minders.&#8221;
