Hi there, some of you fellow old-timers will remember me from when I was a frequent board visitor, with my last appearance now being more than five years ago. To others, nice to meet you. I'm the guy with the unhealthy Excelsior obsession that wanted to write a tech manual for her. After years...

Hi - it's been a long time since I've seen some of you, and this is the first time meeting others. :rommie: I've been reclusive on the board for a number of years. As one who has always been obsessed with the original Excelsior, it will probably be of no surprise that I was similarly smitten...

Hi everyone. A few months back for my birthday, one of my best friends gave me a copy of the famous 18-inch Enterprise model kit, which I've dated back to about 1983, making it around my age too. I've been a very, very low-level model builder over my life, so I decided what better opportunity...

This is a relatively simple "what if?" Photoshop I did a while back after watching the remastered version of "Charlie X." It bugged me a little bit that the Antares was a robot cargo ship with a crew module attached, so I thought to myself... what other class ship could the Antares have been...

Once more onto the breach, dear friends. For the, like, five of you who may remember me, this is not an early April Fool's joke. I have returned to hopefully finish this once and for all. For those who may not remember, I'm the guy with an unhealthy fixation on the Excelsior who, after...

In my Google travels, I just came across this for sale - purportedly a replica prop from Star Trek Phase II. Here's the sample image: IMO, it's really quite good. They've placed the engine room exactly where Mr. Jefferies original Phase II diagram (as extrapolated by Shaw) suggests it should...

I've been thinking a lot lately about Starfleet as established solely on TOS, and beginning to think that if we consider only what we see on TOS, we'd get an entirely different picture than we get when we take the franchise as a whole. Using only evidence established in TOS and related...

Lately, I've been noticing that on Memory Alpha, with the new TNG Blu-Rays, folks have been taking to filling in names and registries for starships, and other information, based on screencaps of quick flashes of display screens. Frankly, I don't like it, but it really brought up the question of...

I apologize if this has been discussed and I missed it, but this struck me in rewatching this today. What's wrong with Kirk? When McCoy is reprimanding Kirk for missing his exam, he makes it seem more than routine. "You are not okay." Then, when Kirk is revived at the end, the two have the...

For the purposes of this thread, I'm mostly going to be addressing the original ILM filming model. While Greg Jein did a fine job rebuilding it for Voyager, there are minor inconsistencies that are small enough to ignore. In other words, where the two differ, I"m going with ILM. Let me also say...

I'm putting this here to get a wide range of perspectives from TNG and non-TNG fans. I've long read the rumors that "Too Short a Season" was conceived to feature an aged Admiral Kirk returning to the planet from the TOS "A Private Little War" episode. (I'm not sure whether there's any truth to...

Besides the Bat-nipples. (Yes, everyone hates them.) Granted it's not as universally despised as its immediate successor, but I think Forever catches more than its fair share of flack from detractors. As I sit here watching it on AMC, it's just as good to me now as it was when I was ten...

So, let's imagine, or at least pretend, that the rumored X-Men: First Class movie will actually get made, and rather than being a sequel or spinoff to the previous films, be a reboot. Now imagine you're the casting director. Who would you hire to play Prof X, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, et al? Would...

I thought I'd begin a discussion on how everyone views the structure and culture of the Romulan Empire based on what we've seen. I know that most people seem to think that there's a rather Trek-standard military dictatorship in place there, and I can't wholly disagree, but I think there's more...

So we've recently had the D.A.C. XI movie tie-in game come out, which I found a disappointment even knowing what it would be, and we have the MMO coming out, which I'm not too excited about. So, I want more. I can't help but find myself wishing for a more hybrid "Klingon Academy"/"Legacy"...

I think most VGR fans will agree that season seven is... shall we say, lackluster. And many fans will also agree that "Endgame" was... shall we say, uninspired. So: you have been assigned as executive producer of Season Seven. You can plan the season, leading up to the series finale. You must...

I have recently pulled out my "Klingon Academy" discs and been playing through again on my trusty PC, and I'd forgotten just how awesome this game is, despite being almost a decade old now. Besides the excellent combat sim itself (which I think is still pretty unparalleled) we get some nice...

So, I was musing about whether the Romulans really affected the outcome of the war. We are led to believe that they did indeed help, but I can't help but realize that the "real" ultimate reason the war was won was because Odo cured the Founder and agreed to cure the others and go home. Would...

We know almost nothing canonically about the Enterprise's enigmatic first officer from "The Cage" - know both onscreen and in background materials simply as Number One and played with cool professionalism by the late, great Majel Barrett. I always found her quite appealing. We know Captain Pike...

Hope this hasn't been posted yet; please merge if it has. Found here, this might clear up some speculation or lead to more: Some interesting tidbits there. It's followed by some more questions and answers from the guys, including their take that what is referred to the core and ejected by...
