If you don't know(which you should, if you're any kind of trekkie!), Wil Wheaton played Wesley Crusher on TNG. Nowadays he's written a couple of books, has an interesting blog, makes appearences at various venues/conferences and says hilarious stuff... and he is now currently working on...

http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2009/11/today-only-you-can-get-shatnerquake-forfree.html This is Wil Wheaton's blog post on Shatnerquake, a highly entertaining and relatively short read. You can find links there to download it, and I highly suggest you do- it's hilarious. I'm in the...

So, I finally caved and bought a Star Trek book, and the one I chose out of all of them at the Barnes & Noble was Star Trek: Voyager - Unworthy, mostly because I read the first couple of pages and it featured B'elanna, who is my favorite character. Anyway. I've been reading it, and with the...

At first I thought it was random and went "wtf?" and frantically looked around at my friends (who were in uniform! gotta love 'em) for any signs of aghastment. But... I thought about it and have decided that the whole Spock & Uhura love relationship thing is actually pretty awesome...

Am I the only one who wishes the "XI" in "Star Trek XI" was pronounced as "eks-eye?" (as in, saying the letters). It just sounds cooler. Whenever I talk about it IRL, I have to actually stop myself and remember to say "Star Trek 12" or just "Star Trek" I don't like just calling it star...

Check out this recent appearance at a ECCC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCdoFIU4eSE After reading a few blog posts and having watched a couple of speeches/performances similar to this, I've decided that Wil Wheaton is officially at the top of my list of famous/semi-famous people to...

...is Hippocratic Oath. Why? Because it's an ethical question and both sides are argued for. You watch it actually wondering who is right, trying to decide and listening carefully to Bashir and O'Brien's arguments. The side story is also pretty amusing, but only mildly. So, what do...

This might have been a thread before, but I'm curious anyway.. If Paramount came out with another Trek series, complete with seven seasons and a movie or two, what are some things you'd like to see in it? Like, what are some absolute requirements? I'd say: -It must be in the future...

The interview was with a very prominent doctor of a major political family in Sudan. Her family is very successful and relatively wealthy- I don't remember the name exactly but it started with an S(and is probably the same as Siddig's longer arab name?) and has had a very important place in the...

Now, in case you don't know, I am an 18 year old senior in high school. I haven't encountered anyone else in my age range, so I guess I have some in-roads into a different set of social, uh, inclinations. And, I have either good or bad news depending on how you view things. Everyone I've...

This may not be absolutely "Tech," but I thought it related well enough. In many episodes from all of the movies and all of the series, and specific tool of suspense is this: "5 minutes until we crash!" "But remodulating the blahdey-blah will take 7!" "We don't have 7 minutes, get it...

I am making a star trek chess set and need help assigning characters to pieces. The sets I want to make are: Voyager TNG TOS DS9 ENT Kazons Klingons Borg Dominion or Cardassians I was wondering: should I make the captain as the king or the queen? At first I thought the King should...

Ok. Make up an alien, any alien, that you think would be cool to have been a part of the star trek universe. -An alien with multiple limbs. Perhaps, more specifically, with four arms and and four legs- call them the Vitruvians. -aliens evolved from rocks. Yes, rocks. Their planet: a...

I was watching The Man Trap today, which I haven't seen before, and I was astonished at how sexist the episode was. I mean, TOS is laced with various bits of sexism. Mudd's Women, anyone? The entire show- "I just want to be a normal woman, cooking and cleaning for my rugged husband!" The...

I stopped by a book & media store the other day and decided that while I was spending my gift cards it wouldn't hurt to see how much some ST DVDs would cost. the Voyager sets are $70 PER SEASON. wtf? I didn't even look at the other series, instead I went to the clearance section and...

I haven't seen this episode before, but after watching several episodes of Kirk falling in love with various women, I've decided that I like Picard's romance waaay better. I mean, I like any romance better than Kirk's, but seeing this episode just sealed the deal. He's so sweet and cautious...

This is part of an article from RoadRunner online, and I thought it was fairly hilarious: By SETH BORENSTEIN - AP Science Writer Get ready for the geek-in-chief. President-elect Barack Obama used to collect comic books, can't part with his BlackBerry, and once flashed Leonard "Mr. Spock"...

This is a Writer's Block prompt from Livejournal: Imagine a world without Star Trek. Is it a world you'd be very happy to live in, or a dark and terrible place? My slightly-joking response: Oh, it'd be terrible. Hundreds of pop culture references that result in hilarity would not exist...

I've been perusing the forums alot lately(Winter vacation -woo!), and noticed alot of people who are well-versed in scientific matters(or atleast are good at looking like they know what they're talking about ;)). Are some of you engineers, doctors, astronomers, anything like that? I'm a...

So, have you learned anything about life from Star Trek -any series, any movie, any book? The most profound thing I can think of is that when I was first rediscovering Voyager, I had a subtle paradigm shift about humanity. One day I was just letting my imagine run wild and I thought about...
