The 2018 novelization of Rose (illustrated version depicted) includes the scene of the Tenth Doctor symbolically saying goodbye to Rose from The End of Time just before his prolonged regeneration.

As I am currently reading the novelisation of the 2009 Star Trek, I've decided to note down some of my favourite parts / interesting bits / funny moments.

George Kirk actually realises that Ayel is a Romulan before Captain Robau even leaves the Kelvin

They actually say that Jim has brown eyes, despite the fact that in the films he Very Definitely Doesn't

Amanda tells Sarek (metaphorically) where to stick it and its hilarious

When Sarek tells Spock he is to choose his own destiny, Spock goes (internally), "but im eleven"

Jim teases cupcake in the bar scene further by asking if he's into him and then asking if they beam those uniforms right onto them because "they're so form fitting"

Jim speaks Orion Prime

He also considers Pike to be his mentor, explicitly rather than the implied route the movies took

Jim calls Spock "Commander Spork" by mistake during his trial

Jim also genuinely has a breakdown in the trial at the idea of being kicked out of Starfleet, and then proceeds to have another when he hears he's on Academic Probation.

Here, Chekov doesn't run down to the transporter room to catch Sulu and Jim. Instead him and Uhura work together on the bridge to catch them in time

Amanda Grayson's last words are "It's okay, to be scared"

Spock estimates that no more than 10,000 vulcans survive the planets destruction

Kirk helps in medical central, and Spock notices him taking care of a young vulcan girl

Doctor McCoy says "Damn it man I'm a doctor, not a physicist" which is nice, since it doesn't happen as often in the AOS films vs TOS

Spock makes a point that despite him and Jim both losing a parent to Nero, they cannot have a personal vendetta against him for the sake of the crew

Jim brings up Spock being emotionally compromised before meeting Spock-Prime, citing the regulations. Spock sees this as an attempt at mutiny and - recognising that Jim will just escape if he is put in the brig - lobs him off the ship like he does in the film

The bug(?) Nero implants in Pike is not intended to torture him, but instead works as a truth serum in some thinly veiled way. Nero actually gives Pike anaesthesia to prevent him being in pain while the bug makes its way to his spinal cord, so torture is definitively not his goal

Keenser talks, and has actual lines (though not many)

As Nero and his crew wonder at the amount of water on Earth, one of the romulan crew ask why it is called Earth and not Water

Ayel actually asks Nero, on behalf of the crew, to stop before they attack Earth and go home to Romulous. Nero murders him in response.

the in-universe reason why Pike has a head of grey hair is the trauma from the events

Kirk gets a commendation for original thinking

Kirk has to actively try not to laugh when Spock submits his application for First Officer in the middle of the bridge

The book closes with Admiral Archer's beagle being beamed onto the ship

Read the Black Christmas Novelization...bc hyperfixation go brr, and Billy is just such a tragic and interesting character, the novel makes it 100% clear he is basically terrified the whole time and doesn't truly want to do anything bad he's been doing and idk I just fuck heavy with sympathetic villains.

Did this hit you other writers/artists as much as it hit me?

To anyone who's already gotten the Wednesday novel...

Any mention of Yoko and Divina?

In an added scene in The Day of The Doctor's novelization, the Eleventh Doctor gets bored and calls Clara's work as if he were calling her parents for a playdate, with the school knowing who he is because of Ian and Barbara.

More New Earth audio-novelisation recording today. Here's a couple of excerpts:

The Doctor studied her out of the corner of his eye; trying to read her, finding he couldn’t. Rose Tyler was a mystery to him sometimes. Always had been, really. There were days when he thought he knew her inside-out, and other days – days like today – when he felt as if he didn’t know her at all. She licked her lips as she browsed – something he’d never seen her do. Was this just her poking fun again, or was she actually trying to bait him into something?

Rose flounced on ahead with purpose – on, on, on; never stopping, not even pausing to look round as she excitedly led the way down onto one of the metal gantries, passing green door after green door. Rattled, the Doctor trailed slowly behind.

Neither of them had spoken since the terminal, but that unusual look he’d caught from Rose – her eyes glistening like blades – was screwing itself deeper and deeper into the Doctor’s head until there was no getting rid of it. She was saying all the wrong words, doing all the wrong things. She was even moving wrong; every striding step so… well, ‘confident’ wasn’t really the right word, was it? No. Practiced.

Two different versions of Cassandra and Harvey’s first (and to date, only notable) encounter.

Reading more of the novelization from the Trolls Holiday. I love that Branch kept the scrapbook from the first adventure they ever had

Also some other moments they had in the novelization too that I wanted to share
