    Why can't they write Star Trek like...

    [Insert whatever well written show here]? There are lots of television problems. Some are highly acclaimed and award winning for their writing. What other television series have you watched and wondered why they can't write this well for Star Trek? Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Trek...

    The true purpose of the Galaxy Class?

    Interesting video. TL: DW the video postulates that perhaps there was a specific mission profiles the Galaxy Class was designed for that we never saw in any Trek series. The Enterprise D (and the entire class) seems to be over engineered for the missions we saw her undertake during TNG. She...

    Your Quintessential Klingon

    In your dictionary when you look up "Klingon", whose image is there and why? Who do you think was the best example of a Klingon? This could be your favorite Klingon or the actor you most enjoyed watching play a Klingon. Perhaps those are the same.

    What if The Phantom Menace came out in 1987?

    This video is pretty cool. It's a hypothetical look at how Lucas might have created Episode 1 if it came out in 1987, 10 years previous to when it really came out. The commentator mines Lucas notes and takes into account what he was going through in 1987, along with current events at that time...

    The United Federation of Planets centennial. 2161 - 2261

    Who do you see as the founding members of the United Federation of Planets? By Kirk's era as Enterprise captain in 2266, how far had the Federation expanded? Who was encountered? What species and locations from later episodes were already known quantities and who/what was yet to be discovered?

    Whose the best Vulcan?

    Inspired by the conversation in the "Controversial Star Trek Opinions" topic in regards who played the best Spock, I thought we could expand the thought. Who played or what is/was the best portrayal of a Vulcan? If you look up Vulcan (species) in the dictionary, whose picture is there?

    Speed of Plot Consternation

    Maybe it's my less than over-the-moon acceptance of modern Trek, but the way starships get from one location (like Earth) to a far away location (like the edge of Federation space) in just a few minutes or hours is beginning to stick out to me like a sore thumb. Then I got to thinking about...

    Star Trek as "hard" science fiction?

    Could Star Trek be told in a much harder science fiction setting? Some things, like some form of FTL is a necessary allowance, but what if you stripped away the rest? If you take away transporters, telepathic abilities, God-like aliens, time travel, and the rest of the fantastical elements...

    Less Aliens of the Week

    One of the main themes of Star Trek has always been "new life and new civilizations." At least, to the viewers. To that end we've seen countless aliens. Why depict an alien culture we've seen in an earlier epiewhen we can create a new alien of the week? I feel this has resulted in numerous...

    STC fools Slate.com

    Hahaha. Too rich. Slate wrote a fluff piece about Star Trek and Orions. They credit NBC, CBS, and UPN in their photo illustration. However, that's not William Shatner as Captain Kirk kissing the Orion...

    The Dark Side of the Federation and Starfleet

    A lot is made of the utopian vision the Federation has portrayed over the course of Star Trek. Repeatedly now we see people say "that's not Gene's vision" every time Star Trek goes dark or looks less than utopian. However, it was brought to my mind recently that, even in TOS first season there...

    It Was a Cold Wet Night in November...

    ... Twenty-two years ago, There was a police boc in a junkyard We didn't know where it would go, An old man took two teachers Into time and space, It started off a legend That no other could replace. Happy 57th Anniversary!
