    Yaznez, Alaska?

    I don't have a copy readily available, and need some help from the TrekLit Brain Trust™. In the early days of TNG before we had our hero's backstories fully fleshed out, some of the details presented in lit were wrong (no slight to any authors, it was the wild west then). I have a memory of...

    Best & Worst Older/Younger Character Portrayal

    Putting this in TV/Media since it could extend beyond genre. Interested in everyone's thoughts on excellent examples of in-universe character portrayals of older/younger versions of an established movie or show character. Not so much in a reboot situation, but more when we see an...

    NuBattlestar Galactica Appreciation Thread

    Okay...okay. Maybe I've had some ambrosia (fine, bourbon), but I am on the cusp of completing a rewatch of the '03-'09 Battlestar Galactica, and damned if it doesn't really hold up well after all this time, and the rewatch is so worth it. Thoughts on this show? Am I crazy or does it rank as...

    The Great - Season 3?

    I have really enjoyed the loose historical farce that is The Great, and read that it was picked up for a Season 3, but that was just prior to all the things happening with Russia/Ukraine currently. With networks and businesses separating themselves daily from the mere whiff of Russia, do you...

    Novelverse In The Wake Of On-Screen Changes - How Do Authors Feel?

    I was thinking about this last night, and thought I would ask, especially since I know there are authors in this forum. Apologies if this has already been discussed before. I was thinking about how much I really enjoyed Immortal Coil/Cold Equations/Light Fantastic, and also some of the...

    Enterprise (Disco Variant) Bridge

    Wondering everyone's thoughts on if we'll see the Disco version of the Enterprise bridge at some point. Apologies if this has been debated to death here already - I didn't look to see.

    Discovery Domain

    I somehow do not recall buying this, but it seems I own a domain related to Star Trek: Discovery - nothing crazy, but I am not really a web designer...wondering what I should do with this? Seems weird to just sit on it...does this have value to someone that might actually want it?

    Time Travel In Discovery?

    Time travel has been a hallmark of the Trek franchise as a whole - every series, the movies, the novels, etc. Wondering about your thoughts on seeing this trope in Discovery? So far, the overall "vibe" I am getting from the show is very arc-heavy (as TPTB have stated) and somehow just doesn't...

    Help Me Remember What Game This Is...

    Just the other day, I swear I watched a trailer for a video game that was centered around an alien invasion of Earth, and the team that was put together to fend it off, rise up, etc. It was REALLY funny....lots of inappropriate character dialogue, sexual innuendo, etc. It looked fairly...

    Question: How Much To Charge As An IT Consultant

    I have a job as a full time salaried IT support person for a local firm. Recently, I was approached by a small business person wanting to hire me as an IT consultant for his new startup business that requires an IT skill set I possess (specific software, etc). I have never really worked "for...

    Gmail Help

    So I have a weird scenario that I need some advice on from those more knowledgeable that I am. I work for a company that has been subpoenaed, and we are to provide all emails available for the last 10 years that contain a specific list of words. Right now, the only option I can see is to log...

    Unintentional Genre Songs

    Every now and then, I hear a song - mainstream, lesser known, whatever - that absolutely brings to mind a specific genre show, movie, or book. The song isn't meant (I don't think) to reference anything like that, but in my mind, it's inescapable. What are some that would be on a playlist of...

    CBR Comic Files On Ipad Mini 2 (Retina)

    I was just gifted an ipad mini (version 2.0 with the Retina display)...would love to read all the comic books I have been accumulating on my computer on it. Anyone have insight on the best way to take the .cbr files and get them on the mini to view in the best resolution?

    Drawings based on other art

    I guess I have always had a knack for putting pencil to paper and producing something that looks like...well...something, I guess. I do enjoy it, but I have a lower end self esteem thing going on when I show it to others, even when they tell me my stuff is good. So lately, I've been dabbling a...

    Disney Infinity

    I drank the Kool Aid and went for Disney Infinity, the new release that puts the Mouse House spin on the Skylanders motif. Is anyone else here playing this game? I bought it for my son's birthday, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to wanting in on the fun too. We ended up with the basic...

    Old Trek Misprinted Magazine?

    I was cleaning out my closet and found a sealed up copy of an old Star Trek: The Magazine with a misprint on the cover/spine. It's got some areas that show the issue as being from the year 2000, and others from the year 2001. It's in fresh-off-the-shelf condition, and I am wondering if...

    ST Games I'd Like To See

    I'll start... We've seen several other well known franchises reimagined Lego style (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Batman, Harry Potter, and the upcoming Avengers to name a few)...would love to see variations of Trek done in this manner. They may be fluff games for sure, but they are fun (and have...

    The Croods

    I didn't see a thread going for this movie already, so my apologies if I missed it. Let me preface by saying that I had zero anticipation for this movie, and very little hope that it would be any good, much less anything memorable. I went with my wife and 7 year old son this afternoon, saw...

    Uniform Costume

    Anyone have a good recommendation for a place or manufacturer for a quality uniform costume? Some of the ones I have seen around the web look poorly done. Any pointers would be appreciated!

    Repurposing An Original XBOX

    Someone recently gave me an original XBOX. I figured I could use it as a repurposed media center of some kind, as it plays DVDs and music. In addition to that, I am wondering...I've heard of the process of modding out older hardware like this, in order to play emulated games. I have young...
