Hey, folks. Tomorrow at 1pmEDT I’m going to be reading and analyzing the juicer bits of Roddenberry’s novelization of The Motion Picture on Twitter. It’s both in belated honor of the 40th anniversary and to give a little something to the community while sheltering in place. I’ll be noting many...
Obviously this is pure speculation, but how will you feel if the Klingon War isn't wrapped up this season and continues into the next? I never considered that would be the case until now. There's only one episode left to tie up a conflict that looks like an utter mess at the moment. A time...
Hey there, folks. I'm not working on a particular fan film, but I have an idea that could help with future fan film production as well as other kinds of independent film. Basically, using what should be a very simple setup, I've come up with a method for doing multipass model filming on a very...
I was wondering about the hangar deck set in the original series. The studio model of the Galileo was 22 inches long. There's definitely a physical model in the hangar deck set – no matting was involved. Was the hangar really huge enough to fit the 22 inch shuttle, or was there a second, smaller...
Hey, guys. I'm doing a series of reviews on Roddenberry's other work for trekmovie (http://trekmovie.com/2016/11/17/forgotten-roddenberry-genesis-ii) and I'm finishing up my article on Spectre. The problem is it's impossible to find a copy and the one I have looks horrible. What I need is a good...
The comic is starting its fourth new serial called "Basis of Proof". It's set on the Hood and will star a familiar face as the captain. If you're not a regular reader yet this is probably a great time to start.

Hi there, I'm looking to put together a full TNG Season one set, including customs of my own making. I'd like loose figures when at all possible because they're coming out of their packs no mater what. I'd also like as few sources as possible, hence avoiding ebay. If you think you can help let...
It seems to me that Picard should have been stripped of command after this episode. If Picard was really willing to abandon the ship on a whim because he talked to some alien intelligence that makes him metaly unfit, no? The show doesn't give any indication Picard was under the influence of the...
The more I look into this the more I can't find solid evidence that TOS takes place in the 23rd century. Khan is told in Space Seed and states in TWOK that he was in power 200 years prior. In Savage Curtain Lincoln is said to have died 300 years prior. When Kirk is threated with being locked up...
I'm doing research for the next comic and need info on army ranks. Let's say I have three soldiers on a special patrol in Afghanistan in the present. If one of them is in charge. What would their ranks be? They are enlisted men. What would their ranks be? Corporal and two privates? Something...
Just posted this up on YouTube. Since I've been working on the comic I've been forced to invent onomatopoeia for the various sounds in Trek. Here's a primer on what I've come up with:

Hey gals and guys. I posted this in the art section about a year ago. Since then it's managed to wind itself though an entire episode with another one about to start. Since I've seen other comics posted on this...
I just finished building this monster and have detailed most of the work over at hobbytalk.com. I've done some composite shots of the model and I didn't want to let the hobbytalk folks have all the fun.
The obligatory planet orbit shot from the opening credits.
And the original shot.
So I'm considering some modelling, and the R2 1/350 Enterprise allows for lighting the nacelle trenches. Not really something I'm crazy to do, but I've read a bunch of people say that was the original intention of Gene and Matt. Some even say they wanted it blue, which to me sounds like B&B era...
I've never been shy about saying the work on TOS remastered only looked good 50% of the time. And 50% on any exam is an "F". I remember when watching TOS in HD on Netflix awhile back that some episodes had the original FX intact in all their grainy 16mm glory - like the bluray option. Was that...
Unbelievably nobody in the history of the internet ever bought trekcomic.com, so I did. I've decided to start a webcomic based on some scripts I wrote while working on Klingon Propaganda.
So check it out. I'll be trying to update it on a weekly schedule. Using the RSS link is your best bet...
I had this game as a kid and was going to have a go at beating it again. With no disk left I downloaded it off an abandonware site.
The version I got doesn't seem to be the one I played. I recall the game opening with an attack that strands you in the Orna system. You beam down and have a...
I haven't seen much of the show, but I do recall that they were constantly trying to save power - by not using the replicators for instance. But dilithium was made a nonissue in TNG and antimatter can be replenished. So why id Voyager on a power lockdown. If I recall the TOS E was going to go...
