    Sulu: "She's supposed to have transwarp drive"

    As far as Sulu on the Excelsior goes, maybe the powers-that-be agreed with Shatner when he said to Takei, "But George, all the action takes place on the Enterprise!"

    Spoilers Season 5 trailer

    This is honestly like the best of those once great cartoons, because what they did best (Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama) was give their characters emotional depth, too. If they were just constant COMEDY! they wouldn't work. And they write the emotional moments without cliche dialog. That...

    Season 3 First Look

    I was hoping this would be a cool Trek sorta episode where our regular cast members learn WHY Spock is the way he is. Why he embraces logic. It even sorta starts like that with them being shocked at the extremes of emotion they're feeling. I was like... oh sweet, this'll be an exploration...

    Catspaw Enterprise prop replica....

    Reasonably certain that's what I heard. The one not encased was lost, the one encased is at Air and Space.

    When did Fred Freiberger jump the shark?

    OKAY, I am seriously twitching here... On my Roddenberry.com uniform pattern instructions, it gives dye instructions for the third season uniform to make them gold. I swear everything I read and saw prior to today shows that when they went double-knit, they gave up and made them gold as the...

    Missing 32" Enterprise finally found...

    I truly hope it will end up as Rod envisions.... alongside the 11 footer.

    Missing 32" Enterprise finally found...

    Okay, did anyone else see the two holes at the rear top of the saucer section? Right along the impulse ridgeline? You know...where you might attach some hooks to hang a ship up? I think this is it!

    Spoilers Did Picard finally ''right the ship'' with Picard season 3?

    The biggest fault most people have is not even being able to recognize thoughtful criticism. Where 'such and such didn't work for me' is viewed as an insult. But that also likely comes from how many say they intend to give good criticism, but end up using belittling language. Another pet...

    Spoilers What fanwankery will they pull for the finale?

    I enjoyed Star Trek: The Star Wars Salute!

    With William Shatner!(fight scene)

    Always try to be a little offbeat in what you talk to a celebrity about is what I've learned. Ask them about some weird thing they did in the past and you might get a fun story out of the exchange! Like I might ask him if he still remembers any Esperanto or something like that:P

    Adam Savage gets up close & personal with the ST:TOS USS Enterprise Filming Model

    I think I heard them mention something about lighting in the engineering hull...something to the effect of one of their technicians showing how good it would look lit up properly? It was a little hard to follow. One thing I think I heard for sure was they were replacing the motors in the end...

    Adam Savage gets up close & personal with the ST:TOS USS Enterprise Filming Model

    As for being confined... well, TOS era was limited to 5 year missions. Given the lack of family onboard during this era, it might also be reasonable to extrapolate that like with modern Navy crews, there would be psychological testing to see how they could handle long, confined periods like that.

    Adam Savage gets up close & personal with the ST:TOS USS Enterprise Filming Model

    Are they redoing the lighting again? Wow. Impressive.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x10 - "The Stars at Night"

    I loved that ending. Shax getting love from the crew was pretty sweet. Bold Boimler picking the right time to show up was solid. Rutherford's tech obsession helping. Mariner evolving as a person.... It was just all so sweet:)

    What do people think of SNW (spoiler free please)

    The difference is that right now this is the 21st century. It clashes to my ears.

    What do people think of SNW (spoiler free please)

    The only thing that kept me going was how much I like Anson Mount's Pike. But some of the story ideas I could see being quite interesting. But they desperately need an editor, in my opinion. Scenes that are there to add some extra depth are fine, but I tend to feel they drag on too long in...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x05 - "Reflections"

    Boimler continues speaking out how I feel about Starfleet/Trek. This show just makes me happy. I thought I was a dinosaur for loving the simpler stories, the science stories, the weird ones... TOS/TNG. I know it's incredibly selfish, but it feels like this is Trek made for me.

    Nichelle Nichols has died

    I'm surprised she didn't make sure she was called 'Commander' to reflect her new rank in TMP;) But I can imagine if this came out before TMP, people would be more familiar calling her Lieutenant. And that poor astronaut, calling her Michelle the whole time....nice of her not to say anything:P

    Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

    One thing that kinda popped up to me (most of my observations tend towards 'huh, weird' and 'to each their own', and of course, 'your mileage may vary') was the relative size of the new shuttles. When Kirk takes off, the shuttle looks like it barely would fit in that shuttlebay! Of course...

    SNW abandoned Star Trek pointy sideburns?

    According to Shatner...when he was going off to film for Generations, his daughter had to remind him that he didn't have enough length for his sideburns. APPARENTLY, if you watch closely during early scenes, you'll notice that his sideburns look weird. That's because they chopped a moustache...
