DISCO fever at STLV

Star Trek Las Vegas is now 8 days, 20 hours, 35 minutes and 40 seconds away! (And we're not adjusting for the time zone difference - we're not Data!). We are all very lucky Trekkies because we are being graced with the largest ever Star Trek Discovery guest count at a Star Trek Convention! Here is the list of DSC guests: Sonequa Martin-Green (Burham) Doug Jones (Saru) Mary Wiseman (Tilly) Anthony Rapp (Stamets) Shazad Latif (Tyler/Voq) Anson Mount (Pike) Mary Chieffo (L'Rell) Jason Isaacs (Lorca) Wilson Cruz (Culber) Rainn Wilson (Mudd) James Frain (Sarek) Jayne Brook (Admiral Cornwell) Sam Vartholomeos (Connor) Emily Coutts (Detmer) Sara Mitch (Airiam) Oyin Oladejo (Owosekun) Kenneth Mitchell (Kol) And the all  important behind-the scenes people: Gersha Phillips (Costume Designer) Neville Page (Creature and Concept designer) Glenn Hetrick (Make Up and effects designer). So almost everyone from Discovery will be there! Good job it's a big stage!

They each spoke about how Star Trek had inspired feminism and their own personal choices with the biggest laugh going to Kayla who is an actual ‘Vulcanologist’. Bjo Trimble is already a woman we look up to but this panel inspired us even more. She talked about being the 'little house wife who spoke out'. She mentioned that when she … Continue Reading ››
