The SKoST Contingent

"You're all astronauts on some kind of star trek..." - Zephram Cochrane


Now in our eighth year, Some Kind of Star Trek continues to evolve. Now covering everything right up to the latest episodes on Netflix and Amazon Prime, we'll be packing in as much original content, reviews, discussions and opinions wherever possible as the franchise rumbles on.

So who will be aiding us on this journey forward? Let us introduce the SKoST Contingent...


Clive Burrell

Writer; Some Kind of Star Trek



Born and raised intravenously on The Original Series before turning to the worlds of The Next GenerationDeep Space Nine and beyond he had originally intended to be a journalist but other things took control and writing, as well as Star Trek, took a backseat in life. After some interesting twists and turns he's returned to both the writing world and to the Star Trek fraternity to discuss his passion for the franchise and hopefully be joined along the way by life-minded fans and new friends.

Clive is CO of the Starfleet International Region 20 group USS Mercia NCC-81891 and editor of the Region 20 quarterly magazine, The Runabout.

His opinions on Voyager and Enterprise? That's material for at least two articles if not more and undoubtedly a subject we'll have a lot to talk about!

With this restored interest in the franchise Clive has been embarking on a mammoth re-watching of the whole series. It's been the best of times, the worst of times (Shade of Gray) but it's also allowed him the chance to introduce a new generation of potential Trekkers to the show. 

On Some Kind of Star Trek the aim and the promise is to create fresh and interesting content around the Star Trek universe and not get bogged down by relating just one more plot synopsis to clog up the internet so discussing the merits, themes, tech and more should never be a problem - there's even the probability we'll point readers in the direction of some new Star Trek experiences around the web!


Backed by an extensive reference library and over 35 years of watching, breathing and drinking in every single episode and experience of Star Trek possible, Clive intends to leave no subject unexplored - although not on his own! There's a wealth of talent and Star Trek knowledge out there to find and get on board and a whole range of formats he'd like to explore through Some Kind of Star Trek.
