Teri Garr passed away today at the age of 79. Although renown for her many standout rolls over an illustrious career in Hollywood, to those on this board she will always be Roberta Lincoln from "Assignment Earth" (though apparently she really didn't enjoy that gig)...

Yep! Apparently there is one coming -- or maybe not now. News to me too. This article rolled across my Facebook feed this morning: https://variety.com/2023/film/news/tron-3-filming-shuts-down-150-crew-members-laid-off-strikes-1235696869/ Sounds like it's unrelated to the previous films. The...

Didn't see this posted yet. I perused the cast of Oppenheimer earlier today, and was delighted to see that Richard Feynman is played by Jack Quaid. It'll be hard to take him seriously -- but then again, knowing Feynman's antics during the Manhattan Project, Quaid is a perfect choice. Feynman...

The Ready Room teaser from Ep 6 establishes that the portal device was not the main weapon that was "burgled" from Daystrom Station. So... what do we think the main weapon is? I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest (based on Matalas' affinity for STII and III) that it is -- or is related to...

On September 28th, 1987, a new show called Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered! I remember all the excitement and anticipation in the weeks and months prior, waiting to once again get weekly doses of new Trek adventures. Tell your story -- where you were, what you thought, etc...

When Agnes is infiltrating the Borg Queen and assimilation kicks into high gear, Picard tries to unplug her but she stops him, saying "I can see so much: the Watcher, 15!" So, what do you think? Who (or what) is 15? Is it another Borg? Does it have something to do with Adam Soong? A hidden...

We know who the Borg Queen in the Fascist timeline is. But who is the Borg Queen that beams aboard the Enterprise? Her face isn't just obscured with that neato armour for fun. She is obviously someone close to Picard, likely from his past (hence the theme of the season). Right before the end of...

I'm rewatching S1 on Paramount+, and have noticed that I have to turn the TV volume to maximum in order to hear it (and even then it's very soft). This doesn't happen with any other show on the service. The audio on Lower Decks was fine, I watched some TNG episodes over the weekend without a...

I'm posting this because it rolled across my Facebook feed this morning. On this day 31 years ago, "The Offspring" premiered. Although a somewhat unremarkable at the time, who would have thought in 1990 that this would become such a pivotal episode in Trekdom. Some of the more important reasons...

Thought I'd start a discussion of the 80s BBC series "The Tripods", based on the John Christopher novels (good thing Kirk returned him to Earth, otherwise it would never have been written!). I first saw it when it ran on PBS in '84 or so. Although I was slightly turned off by the bad FX, I...

Mike Okuda just posted a very interesting trivia tidbit on his Facebook page. Apparently, during the third season production, a number of their story ideas were being leaked to message boards and such. In order to nab the perpetrator, they wrote a fake script for BoBW II, in hopes of it also...

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought I would break the news. Sci-fi jack of all trades and Hugo award winner Ben Bova died today of complications due to COVID. An incredible career with so many contributions to the literary genre we all grew up on and love...

I'm sure this must have been posted hundreds of times, but it rolled across my Facebook feed today thanks to the Okudas. Enjoy 73 photos of the Air and Space Museum's finest acquisition...

The very first thing I noticed as they entered Freecloud.... What else did you see?

Just finished watching The Enemy Within, and although I must have seen it hundreds of times, I did gain some new insights/perspectives this time around, contextualized with contemporary Trek. For example: 1. The fight between Good and Evil Kirk in engineering showcases much more of the space...

Sir Pat just posted this article on his Facebook feed: https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/patrick-stewart-star-trek-picard-christmas-carol.html Contains some interesting backstory on how he came to be roped into reviving Picard. He says two things of interest: (1) " This was not going to be...

The Kelvinverse burst onto the silver screen ten years ago today (07 May). I was delighted to have a whole new Trek back, especially after the disaster that was Nemesis. I liked the connection it made with TOS and TNG through Ambassador Spock. Nimoy was great, and I remember he and Quinto...

... Number One! As per her official statement at Starfleet Headquarters. Who thinks this is awesome? Who is upset? Are 50 years of expectations undone here? Spill ye beans, fellow Trekkies,

What an awesome episode! Let's list off the callbacks it provided. I'll start: The whole battle scene harkened to ST'09. The biggest giveaway was Pike's command: "Evasive pattern Delta 5! All power to forward shields!" which was the exact command issued by Captain Robau in ST'09. What...

In the last few episodes, it's been established that phasers can poke holes in people / Control, but not vaporize the entire body. TOS / movies / TNG / etc... suggest otherwise. Although I'm pretty relaxed about the liberties Discovery takes with canon, this one seems a bit more egregious...
