    What is your personal head canon?

    Let me be perfectly clear - I did NOT do those renderings, and I don't recall the facebook group I got them from providing credit to the artist (they might have, I'll have to double check when I have time). I just thought they looked cool and wanted to share them, since they matched my early...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Here's an unpopular opinion for you: Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness are just as good if not better Star Trek films than Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and the two former only get compared unfavorably to the latter because of nostalgia glasses. Star Trek (2009) is an excellent...

    What is your personal head canon?

    Some of my personal headcanon regarding Star Trek Generations, specifically: First, let's address Harriman, otherwise known as the most incompetent Enterprise captain ever. My headcanon is he got transferred to a literal garbage scow (referred to by brass as a "freighter" to make it seem more...

    Game TNG Episode Pitch Game

    "Vale of Tears" - Ensign Ro is struggling lately with showing up to her shifts on time, and when she does she is usually very disheveled and fatigued, as well as irritable and grumpy. Guinan gently urges Picard to do a non-invasive investigation, upon which it is learned that the Bajoran culture...

    Best and Worst Treatment of Ethical Dilemmas

    I will never understand the arguments against Insurrection, especially when compared to other Star Trek films. It is a completely harmless little film that would never have been able to get out of the shadow cast by First Contact, and certainly didn't kill the franchise dead like Nemesis did...

    Star Trek TMP: First Viewing Opinion and Queries

    I showed Star Trek: The Motion Picture to a friend of mine a few years back. She had never seen any other Star Trek movies or episodes. She watched the whole thing through, and enjoyed it quite a bit to my memory, which surprised the hell out of me given how young she was and the generation she...

    I have a question about the Star Trek characters Spock and B'Elanna Torres?

    Good question! I would venture to guess that each character probably is at least bilingual. I have a hard time imagining that Spock wouldn't be fluent in Vulcan, but I'm sure he is fluent in English as well. Torres is harder for me personally to answer because I don't know her character as well...

    Recasting the Harry Potter Movie Cast

    Been thinking about this a lot since the new Harry Potter series was announced. While I honestly wouldn't mess too much with the kids themselves, a few of the adult actors in the original Harry Potter films were, I believe, miscast. Below is my fan casting for a few of the different adult...

    TMP continued…

    Not sure about in TMP, but on the Enterprise-D 6 foot filming miniature the glowing blue strips on the nacelles were in fact kinda copper colored when powered down. The early Galoob diecast Enterprise-D toys had copper nacelle strips which likely were based on the powered down model.

    Canon events that were elaborated in the novels, comics and games

    I think that's it, yeah! Thanks!

    Canon events that were elaborated in the novels, comics and games

    I didn't want to create a whole new thread for this, but maybe someone here can help. Did anyone read a novel in the early 90s set during the late classic movie era (either before or after The Undiscovered Country, not sure which) that begins with the crew of the Enterprise-A having a get...

    News Val Kilmer (1959-2025)

    Been struggling all day to figure out why I've been in such a funk. Go figure, probably because another piece of my childhood died today. Val Kilmer was a lot of things to a lot of different people. To me he was the best Batman we had in live action film, certainly the best actor to wear the...

    Star Trek Filming Models from TNG to VOY going up for Auction

    That is so cool! Makes me wanna build my own scratch built starship miniature. :)

    Game TOS Episode Pitch Game

    "The Starfarer" - The Enterprise crew discovers a rare female humanoid life form who inexplicably is able to survive in the vast expanse of deep space with no means of protection and no need to breathe air. The being, which refers to herself as "The Starfarer", claims she is able to consume...

    Game TNG Episode Pitch Game

    "The Silk Road" - After Starfleet discovers a second, albeit much shorter, stable wormhole, this time between Bajoran and Ferengi space, they send the Enterprise to host a diplomatic meeting between the Bajorans and the Ferengi, while investigating the alarming fact that a second stable wormhole...

    Art that doesn't need its own thread

    Aww...garsh. :lol: I would definitely need a Spock wig, not sure where I'd find one. They sell rubber (!) ones on amazon, but I don't think that would feel very comfortable. LOL still sounds like fun!

    TMP continued…

    So after careful consideration, something has always bugged me about the design of the refit Enterprise, something they could fix with my proposed Strange New Worlds sequel series. There's an interview somewhere online where the special effects artists who worked on TNG all get together and...

    TMP continued…

    My thing is I don't think they would change the refit design, any more than they changed the design of the Enterprise-D in Picard Season 3. At least not externally. There's a line in the sand drawn in 1979 with regards to visuals, before which needs updating and afterwards is perfectly fine. And...

    Anthropomorphised starships personalities ie "CARS" in SPACE!

    I was actually thinking about this a couple of nights ago. Since ships are traditionally referred to using she/her pronouns I was considering famous actresses who could play the various Enterprises. Here's what I have so far: NX-01: Audrey Hepburn TOS Enterprise: Julia Roberts Enterprise...

    TMP Appreciation

    Star Trek The Motion Picture is my favorite film of all time. The first time I'd ever heard of it, was when my dad bought me Rick Sternbach's Enterprise-D Blueprints from Star Trek The Next Generation in 1996. I was 7 years old and already quickly becoming a trekkie. I read in the manual to...
