I recently learned that the Galaxy Quest Blu-Ray had a feature called the Galactapedia that helped filled out the lore of TV series. Notably, in relation to Star Trek, it was written by Michael & Denise Okuda. I do not have the Blu-Ray so I have never seen the Galactapedia, so does anyone know...

I just heard about this a few minutes ago. I think his best Star Trek performance was adult Jake Sisko in "The VIsitor". https://variety.com/2024/film/obituaries-people-news/tony-todd-dead-candyman-final-destination-kurn-star-trek-1236205445/

James Darren (Vic Fontaine) has passed away today at 88. I actually heard about it before it was publicly announced as a Facebook friend of mine knew him; still I wanted to wait until there was a public announcement to avoid rumor-mongering. Rest in peace, Vic...

I started a thread back in 2019 when I was watching DS9 for the first time and giving my thoughts on each episode. That thread can be seen here but is no longer active: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/i-am-watching-ds9-for-the-first-time-some-observations.299822/ Part of the problem was that I...

This came up on my Facebook wall. In the tradition of A Klingon Christmas Carol: https://www.twincities.com/2019/12/09/mounds-theatre-stages-its-an-honorable-life-a-klingon-variation-of-the-classic-film/?fbclid=IwAR1Pw3HbCiR3ITbo7SnSh6PkoTbN9Vcfog7f2ckjQPfPAfTRG4rvkdNgUyQ If you live in or...

A little over a year ago, I started this thread in the DSC forum: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/should-i-give-discovery-another-chance.292885/ I asked if I should consider giving DSC another chance, having quit six episodes into Season One. Despite a litany of opinions on either side of the...

I was going back through some old articles over on Trekmovie, and discovered we are coming up on an anniversary in Trek fandom that marks the end of an era. This September 1st will mark the tenth anniversary of the closing of Star Trek: The Experience at the (then) Las Vegas Hilton. At the...

How poorly can you sell the idea for any of Star Trek's best episodes? As an example: The City on the Edge of Forever: Kirk romances a woman from the past, but her sudden and brief interest in pickup trucks ruins things.

I went into DISCO very much anticipating a new Star Trek series and thinking it was so ridiculous that so many fans were shooting it down before we had a chance to see anything. I understood that things were going to look different from what came before no matter the time period; even...

Trekkies like to throw around "Gene's Vision" as through it were some immutable truth of the universe, when I'm not even sure if we can collectively agree on a meaning. Is Gene's Vision what constitutes the themes of Star Trek, those of peace, tolerance and seeking to better oneself? Is it the...

Ain't It Cool News has an early review for tomorrow's new DSC episode, "Context Is For Kings". Be forewarned of SPOILERS. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/78653

I saw this on the bus today (look closely at the windows): This is the first public ad I've seen for DSC. Anyone else seen any, or am I the first?

If you're here on TrekBBS, you have a relationship to Star Trek as a fan. What I'm curious about is your tangential relationship/connection to Star Trek. Are you related to/dated someone/used to live next door to someone who worked on Star Trek in some capacity? I don't mean anything like, you...

This is a theory I'm thinking through as I write this, but it first occurred to me this evening. The more I thought about it, the more I realized the Borg Collective functions like a funhouse-mirror version of Starfleet/the Federation. Consider the parallels that can be drawn between the two...

Ain't It Cool News is saying that an independently produced biopic about Gene Roddenberry is in the works and is in the process of doing its final fundraising. You can read about it here: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/75817

Earlier today, I got to thinking about Star Trek: The Experience for no particular reason. I remembered that Trekmovie.com did quite a bit of coverage regarding its' closure. I searched back through the site looking for the stories that were posted, remembering that so many people were...

We've all seen Trek actors in TV commercials. I don't know if there's been a thread like this, but I'd thought I would start one where we could collect as many commercials as people can find. Here's a collection of local Los Angeles commercials from 1985, one of which features George Takei...
