==Captain's Log Retrospect==
Captain's Log Retrospect is undated; the editor says he is typing it "11 days shy of the 20th anniversary of the first showing of Star Trek." That would make it 1986.
The zine contains 54 pages. It includes four stories from the first three issues, poetry, plus art by Christine Myers, Gennie Summers, and Richard Pollet.
From the zine: "One reason I did not reprint stories by other authors was because the four stories done by other writers were all reprinted elsewhere."
From the editorial, which begins with some comments about the recent Challenger space shuttle disaster: 
* Table of Contents (2)
* Editorial Page (3)
* Survival by Richard Pollet (4)
* The Alienation Syndrome by Richard Pollet (18)
* Dreams and Other Calamities by Richard Pollet (25)
