There's many loose ends here and room to explore. Let's start with Praxis. How did the empire sort that one out? It could tie in with Worf's origins on Khitomer and what happened to his Grandad who represented Kirk and McCoy? Tuvok would also be … Continue Reading ››

Trekkie Girls Ep – A Roddenberry at the Helm

The announcements regarding the New Star Trek Series are beginning to read like a Trekkies dream team from an internet forum. Next they'll be telling us they've signed up William Shatner and Patrick Stewart. They'll be no complaints here! We can't help but fan girl over the latest news that Eugene 'Rod' Roddenberry has been named Executive Producer. Check out our reaction here: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqEmoMO56Ns] The series now boasts five executive producers, in addition to Rod there's also Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Trevor Roth and Bryan Fuller.

New Series Wishes

We did our live periscope last week to discuss our collective thoughts but after listening to The Ready Room podcast on Trek.fm with Christopher Jones and guest Larry Nemecek it has go me thinking about what I want to see. Btw, I rarely get a chance to listen to podcasts but I'm glad I took the time to listen to this one (scroll to bottom of this post to play). It provides logic behind the decision to stream and how the development of previous incarnations of Trek can provide insight into the development of this series. 3f448330857e4ca7ba40ab5465a3c2cb62cdb98c Decision to Stream I have no strong feelings about this.
