We heard lots of great stories about meeting Brent Spiner including Becca and Kay from Twitter who travelled all the way to Los Angeles from England to watch him perform live in a play.Espa100 told us a funny story about how they couldn't understand each other because his English wasn't very good at the time so they communicated with hands and feet! (images of Data dancing with Dr Crusher come to mind!)
We also learned that most of you think Data swearing in Generations is more humorous than when Q gave Data the gift of laughter!
There were a lot of good suggestions for the caption contest but we picked … Continue Reading ››
Data’s Day
Tonight we are firing up the MIDAS array and preparing to take over the Destination Star Trek Germany Twitter and Facebook accounts again. Join us each Weds at 8pm GMT.
Tonight we will be discussing all things Data and DSTG guest Brent Spiner. We would love to hear your experiences of meeting him so to start, we thought we'd start the discussion with this YouTube video. Contains immaturity and waffling! - you have been warned!
London Film and Comic Con 2014
Showmasters always seem to be looking out for us Trekkies and if you frequent their Forums you will have seen today's announcement that Terry Farrell and Diane Muldaur will be attending next years show!
Diane Mulder Muldaur is best known for playing the controversial and fan dividing Doctor Pulaski but all us Trekkies love the trivia quiz where we get to identify her as Dr Miranda … Continue Reading ››
We have only seen them both once and that was quite a while ago now, and in the States.
Terry is as popular with us fans as Dax is with the entire Alpha Quadrant. Did you see those pics of her at Las Vegas con this year dressed in the TOS mini dress for the costumed world record attempt? What a team player!

Remember last October when we Vulcan nerve pinched several security guards to give you a sneak peek of Destination Star Trek London? (At least, that's how we remember it!)
Well we can't wait until Feb '14 to get into Destination Star Trek Germany so we have masked our warp trail, set up transporter scattering devices and dry cleaned our lucky starfleet undies because we are taking over the official @StarTrek_DST twitter account!
In fact, we have a Christmas market at the dock in December where we all dress up like we're celebrating Worf's promotion

Double Take Takei
Oh George! We had to Double Take this Takei image today (M-kay?), but not for the reasons you'd think.
This is where we live! We clapped with gay glee when we saw our city's proud historic dockyard being shared by the good Captain Sulu. As you can see we're a liberal bunch here in Portsmouth so feel free to pay us a visit anytime Mr Takei.

TNG Tastic!
We thought from the first guest announcements that there was a slight leaning towards Deep Space Nine guest for February's Destination Star Trek Germany but like Spock trying to fool a supercomputer, they have us again! The next wave of guests seems to be rather Next Gen. Although Michael Dorn lends himself to more than one franchise.
Brent Spiner
Personally, we LOVE Marina, Dorn and Frakes on the stage together. They are a bundle of laughs and it's been a while since we have seen the love-triangle trio get their Imzadi on!
We really hope they get to take to the stage together, we won't want to miss that.
So far the guest line is pretty huge:
William Shatner
Brent SpinerJonathan Frakes

Guess Who Is Going to Germany?
Yesterday we were put out of our misery as the next Star Trek Destination was finally revealed. Carole and Sam met up to discuss their thoughts and hopes for Destination Star Trek Germany and as usual, looking for clues.....
As we have gone all routes, from having costumes made, buying from the cosplay eBay stores and the superb premium line at Anovos, we are really hoping this is the happy medium us fans have been waiting for.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn5b2L7gLlM&w=320&h=266]
At a glance:
Location: Frankfurt Messe, much bigger than London ExCel. Two airports serving.
Ticket Prices: Comparable to DSTL at today's exchange rate.
The difference is with the premium ticketing options with Silver, Gold, Platinum and VIP fairing slightly cheaper than DSTL. Whilst offering roughly the same. The only significant difference is at DSTL a Captains Talk was included. So we presume the price difference is due to this.
From comparing, we'd either go Silver or Latinum (and that ain't no typo!). Also note that priority queuing is available only for Latinum and VIP. This is bad news if you normally would go Gold, but good news if you go … Continue Reading ››
Anovos – affordable costumes
Anovos, the premium Star Trek and Battlestar costuming gurus, have just sent out this email announcing their new Standard line of costumes. Designed to be comfortable and accurate, most importantly they have used the word 'affordable'. This is great news for those of us who want the look but not the credit card debt!
Posted with BlogsyNew Destination Star Trek to be revealed!
It's the moment we have been waiting for since we shuffled out of London Excel with a Romulan Ale hangover and someones vulcan ear stuck to our left boob. It's coming back!!!! Check out: www.destinationstartrek.com
As we recall from last year, the convention gods love torturing us by slowly drip feeding us information and it looks like the same is happening again with the next reveal in 5 days.
So keep an eye on your inbox, check their website and make sure you're following @StarTrek_DST on twitter. And us of course! Because we will be doing our usual detective work to uncover What The Spock is happening.
Star Trek London was such a blast but you … Continue Reading ››
A Subreddit full of Wheatons
Ever wondered what Wesley Crusher got up too after he ran off with the Traveller? Maybe he used his powers to manipulate space and time to become various crew members from each series?
Sure beats staying in his room with that voice recorder he made once.
Check out some of these incredible photoshopped imaginings coming out of the Treknobabble Subreddit. Made by deadfraggle who made the TOS/TNG cross over pics that spread over the web like a secret whispered at Quarks.
This is our favourite, downloaded it to to full resolution for our own stash.
P.S. Sam's Wil Wheaton stash, whilst remarkable, still pales in comparison to … Continue Reading ››
