I may have asked this kind of thing elsewhere but someone just mentioned Vonda's Star Trek novels in another thread so it got me to thinking: Are there any notes or correspondence or... anything? about Vonda N. McIntyre's adaptations of Star Trek 2, 3, and 4 and any studio reactions or demands...

Hello fellow inmates! Today marks the 45th anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. To celebrate I've decided to host a book club for Gene Roddenberry's novelization of the film. (I had thought of doing something similar for the 40th anniversary of John M. Ford's The Final Reflection. Maybe...

Other than several threads about the OTOY project I have not seen any commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Generations. Happy Birthday GEN! Or as I like to subtitle it: Two captains. One hairpiece. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite TNG movie. Yes, I understand its failings...

According to Memory Alpha:

Greetings, Programs! If I'm reading my calendar right then today marks the 50th anniversary of The Practical Joker. Probably best remembered for Kirk is a Jerk. But it introduced the holodeck. Some people have quibbled that it is not a holodeck. (It's called the "recreation room".) At the...

So I just watched Homeward for its 30th anniversary. (Go! Reminisce!) Rather than totally derail that thread I'll discuss here. I'm sure it's not a new topic. It's probably right on there with Is Starfleet a Military and Is There Money in the Federation? It's a solid idea. You can't save the...

Welcome to the 30th anniversary of 1994! (And get OFF my LAWN!) It occurred to me that we're in the run up to the 30th anniversary of All Good Things and Generations. So then I started thinking "Hey, I had kind of fallen out of Star Trek watching back then. Why not do it again (for the first...

There is an Uhrura's Song thread that keeps getting derailed by other contemporary novels. So let's just celebrate the mish mash! There was something about this era. For one thing there were obviously more books than movies coming out. For myself there was not knowing who (if anyone) was...

Happy Star Trek Day everyone! And it's a little more special this year because TAS is fifty! I'm pretty sure I didn't watch it in 1973 but as I got into Star Trek in the next few years it was certainly in the mix. I had the Mr. Spock's Time Trek Viewmaster (Yesteryear) and my brother had The...

I finally got around to watching Q & A in Short Treks the other night. (Amazon won't let me watch on the Roku. :( ) And it showed another one of those "turbolift on roller-coaster rails traveling through vast empty space with lots of movement and twinkly lights in the far distance". What is...

It was my intention to have something finished for FJ's birthday this year, but Real Life has intervened. So instead I will post a couple of WIPs and some Greatest Hits. Franz Josef Schnaubelt, aka Franz Joseph. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Franz_Joseph Author of the ground-breaking...

I don't know if I have asked this question before: Has anyone digitized / cataloged / documented whatever was on the cassette tape from the Mego Tricorder toy? I know that it's "just" audio from several episodes. IIRC it's at least Where No Man Has Gone Before and The Corbomite Maneuver. I...

May 25th, 1977! May the 4th is cute and all, but today is the day. After finding a list of opening dates at cinemas around the USA it turns out that the earliest that I could have seen Star Wars was in July. :eek: Also the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. I wasn't old enough to do the...

Thirty years ago today. Discuss!

I've known the names Matt Jefferies and Andrew Probert longer than I can remember. And not long after that Rick Sternbach. Then Michael Okuda. Throw in Geoffrey Mandel, Doug Drexler, and this is why you don't make lists because you always leave important people out. (John Eaves!) It's not a...

We watched TWOK tonight. (Yay!) I don't believe I have ever noticed this: When Jim and Carol have their heart to heart poor Pavel Chekov, first officer of the U.S.S. Reliant is still laying wounded in the corner. Hmmm. Then I realized that Jim and Carol LEAVE him to go see the cave. THEN I...

I'm watching DS9 (verrrrry slowly so far) for mostly the first time. I've just finished Call to Arms. I've seen some of these episodes. Somehow I saw Dukat and Sisko's baseball. I actually saw In the Pale Moon Light. I'm looking forward to Take Me Out to the Holosuite. (That's season SEVEN...

It suddenly makes sense!

I'm sure there has been a variation of this discussion before. I have a co-worker who want to watch "Star Trek". She's in her thirties, didn't grow up in the United States, but enjoys lots of Western television. (She's a big Person of Interest fan.) She doesn't know what Star Trek is. I...

I started this last summer. I've made a little progress since then. This is a 3D computer model of the original AMT Enterprise kit. I am using @Shaw 's plans to try and recreate this so that I can use it as a basis for an "accurate" model of the U.S.S. Constellation from The Doomsday Machine...
