A mock-up of a book cover based on James Blish's "Spock Must Die!"

It is red with a wide black stripe down the center. The following text is centered down the stripe:

A
STAR TREK
BOOK [white text]

TUVIX
MUST DIE! [red text]

BY KATHRYN JANEWAY [red text]

"IT SEEMED LIKE THE THING TO
DO AT THE TIME" [white text]

THE USS VOYAGER'S CAPTAIN
EXPLAINS HER CONTROVERSIAL 
DECISION [white text]

Between the final two text sections is a monochrome image from the Voyager episode "Tuvix." It shows the transporter effect when Tuvix was separated into Tuvok and Neelix.

Bantam released "Tuvix Must Die!" after the Star Trek: Voyager ep "Tuvix" aired. Purportedly Janeway's justification for splitting Tuvix back into Tuvok and Neelix. The actual author has never been id'd (possibly ghost-written by Gene Roddenberry).

Yes, and that wasn't Mrs. Howell's fairy godfather in that episode either. It was evil Gilligan from the Mirror Universe.

The Star Trek Prop You Didn't Realize Came From Gilligan's Island - TVLine A mystical-looking robe worn by Korob in the Halloween episode of Star Trek: The Original Series was actually worn by Gilligan just earlier that year.

Korob did some clothes-shopping on Gilligan's Island before traveling to Pyris VII with Sylvia.

A Star Trek meme. The image is from TOS episode "Requiem for Methuselah." Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are standing around a table in Flint's compound, toasting each other with raised glasses of Romulan ale. Text across the top and bottom reads, "Cheers, it's 1701 Day! / January 17."

I'm looking for recommendations for good, reasonably priced note-taking apps. A must-have feature is web clipping, both as a browser plug in and on Android. I've been using Evernote for years, but they are more than doubling their fees in January 2026.

Any suggestions?

How an Obscure Character in the 'Iliad' Gave Us the English Word 'Pander' - Tales of Times Forgotten In the Iliad, Pandaros, son of Lykaon, is a Lykian archer who is allied with the Trojans. In Book 4 of the epic, the goddess Athena tricks him into firing an arrow at the Akhaian king Menelaos, which ...

It's a circuitous route via Greek, Latin, Boccaccio, Chaucer, and Shakespeare (and others) to get from Pandaros in the Iliad to "pander" in English.
