Do you love dinosaurs? I have, ever since I was a kid. So, I was hoping that they could be discussed in this forum. Talk about your favourite dinos, or new fossil discoveries, or even birds (!!!), for that matter. - - - - - - - For example ... A single fossil discovered in Italy, during the...

If fans were not so vocal and so divisive and eager to judge and complain about STAR TREK, generally, what would STAR TREK look like? If we just let CBS/Paramount create without any concern for Nerd Rage, what course would this franchise take?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/new-forensic-tests-suggest-shroud-of-turin-is-fake/ar-AAAfq9m?ocid=mailsignout As a Roman Catholic, myself, I've always been intrigued by the Shroud of Turin. The gist of this article is that the blood flows imprinted on the shroud appear to be...

I've only read a couple of STAR TREK novels, which I was made to regret as they were so awful. But, uh ... in my STAR TREK searches, sometimes novels pop up and I'm quite taken by some of the Art of the older ones. Artists have done some interesting work, like Bob Larkin, whose cover the...

... What horror stories, or horror films are you most interested in, or taken by. For me, it's the film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It's operatic, it's larger than life and the cinematography is superb. It has its problems, particularly dealing with the mate the Frankenstein monster wants...

With "Scorpion", "The Raven", "Scientific Method", "Concerning Flight" & "The Omega Directive" Captain Janeway's interest in Leonardo da Vinci only seems to have grown. In fact, she even had a copy of the red chalk sketch he did of an old Man (which is completely untitled, we have no idea who it...

Does anyone enjoy this Cult Classic as much as I? What are your thoughts on this cinematic novelty?

One of mine (and there are many) is when he first arrives onboard and, right away, Picard has him rejoin the separated saucer section to the rest of the ship. Its a great introduction for the character, I've always thought ... ... What are your favourite Riker moments?

Personally, I like Chakotay -- in fact, he's one of my favourite characters in STAR TREK. I'd consider the character a natural leader and someone who's dependable and a good friend to those he calls his friends. And the women he's encountered were suitably impressed, as well. I like Robert...

I'm very under the impression that Walter Keonig did N0T write STAR TREK novels. He did write a book on the Behind the Scenes Making of TMP and an autobiography. But he always seemed interested in renewing his ties with STAR TREK and making more of a contribution. His acting career, otherwise...

Star Wars Fans Spent Six Years Building a Full-Size Replica of the Millennium Falcon Cockpit: https://laughingsquid.com/millennium-falcon-cockpit/ Does anyone else know about this Labour of Love, or heard of other attempts by SW fans, perhaps, to construct their own Millennium Falcon, in its...

https://www.trektoday.com/content/2018/06/stewart-returning-to-trek/ If Rumours are to be believed, TNG is finally receiving its reboot. If this is true, then I'm actually kind of surprised. I really did not expect it to happen, though fans had been suggesting it since ST'09 was first confirmed...

In the 50 years since 2001: A Space Odyssey was first released, on April 2, 1968, no movie has matched its solemnly jaw-dropping techno-poetic majesty. It’s still credited with being the grandest of all science-fiction movies, one that inspired countless adventures set in the inky vastness of...

I have always felt that Lwaxana Troi was an aweful character that, had she not been a vehicle for Majel Barrett, would've been - at most - a one off character we'd never have to see again. In the main, I found watching her perpetual mid-life crisis to be awkward and irritating ... though...

I am not overly familiar with The Lord of the Rings franchise, or fantasy concerned with magic, specifically. As a kid, I'd hear it mentioned around me, sometimes, but I didn't know what LOTR even meant. I gathered that it was to do with medieval sorcery and whatnot, but what the rings were, I...

Would you like to see STAR TREK release the occasional mini-series and -- if so -- what would it be about? Khan's earthly shenanigans? STAR TREK reunion one-offs? For me, personally, I'd love to see The Vulcan Wars when the Romulans split off. Also, one about Colonel Green, including World War...

Sybok's assumed dead in STAR TREK: V, but for obvious reasons, his actual fate remains ambiguous. Ambiguous, at best. What is your position on whether he survived the events of The Final Frontier and if you suspect that he hadn't died, what do you suppose his eventual outcome was?

Many actors having been cast as main characters in STAR TREK have complained, over the years, that their careers were stifled because of being typecast later, as a result of the show. This has always sounded a bit like 'Sour Grapes' to me. Not every Trek star can be of Sir Patrick Stewart's...

... Might you be a fan? I am not always in the mood for STAR TREK -- gasp! -- but I am always in the mood for Film Noir. I have many favourites, but right at the top of the heap, for me, is Detour (1945) starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage. What are your favourites in this genre?

It may surprise some to learn that there is, in fact, a real-life Château Picard: http://www.mahler-besse.com/en/chateau-picard/ But there are also actual product tie-ins to STAR TREK, such as Romulan Ale, as a for instance...
