    Spoilers What fanwankery will they pull for the finale?

    Ensign Aquiel Uhnari makes a cameo as the wife of Geordi and mother of Sidney and Alandra :whistle:

    Spoilers Ready Room with Wil Wheaton

    Lol, ‘syrupy’ is a really good way of describing Wheaton’s continual gushing. I wish there was a little more light and shade, as EVERYTHING IS MEGA for every new series of Trek (honestly he must love Picard more than, say, Discovery, right?) He does a decent job overall though.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x09 - "Võx"

    I thought 'Vox' was a thoroughly enjoyable episode. I was misty eyed when the Enterprise D was unveiled and watching all of the TNG crew together on that Bridge was incredibly gratifying. It was something I never expected to see again. I couldn't quite believe that Shelby was back after all...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x05 - "Imposters"

    I’m a little late to the party here, but my goodness I am LOVING season 3 of Picard. I haven’t been this obsessed with a Trek series since the glory days of watching TNG/DS9/VOY for the first time in the 90s. It was an absolute joy seeing Michelle Forbes back as Ro. It was clever how we were...

    This photo was taken at London Toy Fair earlier this week. It’s pretty blurry, but from what I can see (and intel I’ve had from an insider) I think it’s: TNG Worf, TNG Geordi, SNW Spock, VOY Seven Of Nine, Q in Judges Robes and SNW Pike. What do you think? I think the figures on the right are...

    Sulu in Wrath Of Khan

    Here's something that's always puzzled me about The Wrath Of Khan... why is Sulu never left in charge of the Enterprise bridge when Kirk/Spock aren't around? He holds the rank of Commander and is clearly a very experienced officer, yet Lieutenant Saavik has the Conn and even an unnamed Navigator...

    Just Watched “What We Left Behind”. Why is HD DS9 footage in 16:9? Is CBS interested in HD DS9?

    I was just about to start a new thread on this! I'm on holiday in the UK and stumbled across the Sky Sci-Fi HD channel where they're airing episodes of DS9. They've definitely upscaled the footage and it looks *so* much better than what I’m accustomed to seeing on Netflix/DVDs. They're on season...

    There’s definitely a second wave coming, likely April. Playmates are very happy with how the line has been received so far, which bodes well for future releases :beer:

    Most gruesome/gratuitous Red Shirt death?

    My immediate thought goes to Sonak and the other crewmember in TMP…so grizzly :( It was all the more sinister because of the implied violence (“what we got back didn’t live long, fortunately”). In TOS, growing up I was freaked out by all the salt vampire deaths in The Man Trap, as well as the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x07 - "Monsters"

    Wow, I didn’t anticipate all of the snarky replies I’d get to this message. :rolleyes: I think it was a perfectly reasonable question to ask if there’d been any discussion on the uniform choice. I’m not sure how you’ve interpreted that as me hating on the show @fireproof78. There was even a...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x07 - "Monsters"

    I've only just watched this episode and think it's the weakest of the season so far. Can I ask, what was the verdict on the uniform Picard's father was wearing in the counselling session? It looked like a Generations/DS9/Voyager-style uniform, but it had the cuffs of the later TNG films/DS9...

    I wouldn’t be so sure…the press release and recent adverts featuring John De Lancie as Q have all mentioned forthcoming ‘environments’, which I take as playsets and alien planets etc.

    It's always amused me...

    ...how completely disinterested / slightly annoyed Troi looks when Worf arrives on the Enterprise E bridge in First Contact. As if to say 'I can't believe you dumped me for that slug'. Has anyone else picked up on it? Do you think it was a conscious decision on Marina Sirtis' part, or it was...

    Season 7 :(

    Hey, I've been re-watching DS9 for the first time in many years and have loved reacquainting myself with the series. However, I'm currently halfway through season 7 and have been left thoroughly underwhelmed by recent episodes. I know it picks up towards the end of the season, but episodes like...

    Thank you very much, that’s very kind :adore: Sure - it’s a Citadel base paint I got from a model shop and the colour is ‘averland sunset’.

    Thanks for the advice! I finally finished work on him today. I wanted him to be screen accurate so didn’t roll up the sleeves, as O’Brien didn’t in his new uniform. The head is from a series 1 DS9 O’Brien figure, the torso from a movie uniform Riker figure and the arms and legs from a Tom Paris...

    Loving all the Innerspace chat ;) I only bought the first four models they released. I was having a hard enough time finding all the 4.5” figures, plus all the ships and accessories. I couldn’t afford to start another line! BTW I’ve just reviewed the first series of TNG figures on my Instagram...

    Thanks Michael; I really appreciate your comments. I plan to photograph every 4.5 figure, ship and accessory - although it might take some years! I think you might be right here Tosk. I can’t seem to recall O’Brien with his sleeves up post-season 5 so I think my custom will just wear the...

    I’ve just posted about the second season Deanna Troi figure from Playmates on my Insta page if you’re interested. There are a couple of my custom figures on there too: www.instagram.com/startrekplaymates
