We had heard about Michael Dorn's pitch for a Trek Spin-off based on Worf but it wasn't until we tuned in to Dorn's AMA on Reddit that we learnt more about this exciting venture.
It seems every third Tuesday there is another Trek-series rumour circulating but this one, of all of them, has got us really excited.
Why? Well for many reasons but here's our top three.
1. It's based in the prime universe. Nuff said.
2, It's based after the events of Deep Space Nine but before Nemesis. Which puts it between 2375 - 2379. Hopefully it can shed some light on the rebuilding of the Federation, Cardassian, Klingon and Romulan empires following the Dominion War. It could also feature the return of Voyager and even explain why Worf appears on the Enterprise at the beginning of Nemesis!
3, It's Worf! Easily the most developed Character in the … Continue Reading ››
It's polling day here in the UK and who said politics can't be fun? Last week we compared Trek characters to politician personalities and today we thought we'd ask; what would be the key campaigning topics if we were living in the 24th Century. Rather than #GE2015 it's #GE2394
Romulas
Any Federation Presidential candidate worth their salt will have a strategy in place for dealing with the repercussions of Romulus's demise. Hopefully this will encourage the Vulcan/Romulan unification process further.
We'd also be keen to hear their stance on Remans, who's world would have been destroyed by the same Super-nova. What efforts are taking place to repatriate them with their Roman brothers and Sisters and Vulcan cousins?
Klingon and Cardassian Empires
These empires are attempting to recover from being decimated by the Dominion War. The Federation should not assume they are weak and no threat. In times of desperation, … Continue Reading ››
Having worked in politics, this is the first year in my adult voting life that I won't be participating in a general election. (campaigning that is, I'm going to vote of course!)
Star Trek very much influenced my decision to go in to politics so for this blog post I'd like to look at some of the Trek characters that fit in to some of the real life politician personality types I have encountered.
This is just for fun. But I'd love to hear your thoughts and your suggestions.
The Single Issue GuyChief O'Brien would be the type of politician who is always campaigning tirelessly for the same thing. He has a singular focus, he went in to politics to sort out transporter technology regulation, the Cardassian encroachment of Federation territories or the rights of non-comm officers. The chamber could be talking about the furtherest thing from his pet subject, but he'll find a … Continue Reading ››
TrekMovie are reporting that the title for the third Star Trek reboot movie is titled 'Beyond':
TrekMovie.com has it on good authority that Star Trek Beyond is being used for the title of the new Trek film. What we do know is that the name has been registered with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a step that typically signifies a title has been settled on for an upcoming movie. It is possible, given Bad Robot’s history of secrecy and pretense, that this is merely a decoy name registered to stir up conjecture amongst the media and fans. But, the official title will need to be registered with the MPAA before the film’s release, and given the timeline, it seems likely that such a decision would be made now.

This image of Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wearing a Starfleet uniform whilst welcoming the Dragon vehicle to the International Space Station, seems to be available on every hailing frequency we open. And with good reason, it's probably the greatest picture from space ever taken! First picture of the Earth taken from space? Meh! Rocking the Janeway look whilst orbiting the planet - legendary!With a growing list of Astronauts citing Star Trek as their inspiration, it demonstrates what a powerful influence the utopian view of Trek has had on generations. Almost 50 years in to its reign and we are at last moving well past the 'Trekkie in the basement' image and seeing scientists, world leaders, activists and philanthropists, all crediting Star Trek as their inspiration
What we love most about this is that Samantha must have insisted this got packed for her trip. Imagine what items you have to pack; 7 pairs … Continue Reading ››

Rest In Peace Leonard Nimoy.
I'm sure in the next few days more words will come. But for now we are finding great comfort watching the love and support for this great man pour through our social media streams. The fact that the outpouring extends well beyond the Trek family shows what a true legend he was. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone's lives he touched.
For now we "Remember".
"He's really not dead. As long as we remember him." - McCoy
