At London Film and Comic Con last weekend we caught up with Shazad Latif (Ash Tyler and Voq from Star Trek Discovery). He was very gracious and approachable, truly wonderful with the fans and was a pleasure to talk to.
We asked him how the Section 31 series with Michelle Yeoh is progressing:
The head of the CBS said it was about 2 years down the line, so we're maybe a year and a half away but it all depends on the people. Michelle is very busy, it depends on her being free, me being free. It depends if I fit into the timeline. There's loads of things that we don't know and they have to write it. We'll know more in a year.
It’s a cameo that makes perfect sense and at London Film and Comic Con last weekend, Robert Picardo (The EMH and Dr Zimmerman from Star Trek Voyager) confirmed that his agent was in talks with CBS to possibly return in Season 2 of Star Trek Picard.
“I am pleased that they (CBS) have expressed interest in me. They have reached out to my agent about next season. So I’m looking forward to seeing what it is. As you know I play two characters, primarily the Doctor but also Lewis Zimmerman.”
This friday's live chat we're going to be playing the yet-to-be-released new game from Looney Lab's game Chrono-Trek.
If you have played the hugely popular Fluxx and Chrononauts then you're sure to love Chrono-Trek. Look out for Chrono-Trek at a game store near you in early August!
Join us as we try it out for ourselves and you can help us play along!
We also discuss our upcoming away mission to London Film and Comic Con. If you haven't booked yet, do it quickly!
Our cocktail this week is themed around playing games...it's the Allamaraine! (It'll be sure to give you a headache!
We posted a review some weeks back on the new range of official Star Trek apparel from Wild Bangarang which we instantly fell in love with so we were thrilled to hear from them again to say they had added to their range.
They have kindly sent us these products however we only review and recommend products we like.
Newly added to the collection include Klingon leggings and a dress, Romulan leggings and the Juan Ortiz retro prints - which you may remember from the 50th Anniversary art collections.

We couldn't resist these Starfleet Pride leggings though. And just in time for Pride Month too!
The incredible Deep Space Nine documentary 'What We Left Behind' is coming to 44 UK cinemas thanks to CinEvents.
We'll be heading to our nearest screening in Southampton on the 26th June, we hope some of you will join us. If you have been to the Sci-Fi Ball previously, this cinema is a tribble throw from the Grand Habour Hotel.
If you can't join us you're bound to find a location close to you and you can book your tickets here. UPDATE: Ireland, Austria and Germany now also included!
If you aren't aware of the documentary (where you been?) it's a showcase feature of the series dubbed Star Trek's 'middle … Continue Reading ››
If you've been watching our Friday Night Live Chats you'll know that we love sharing Star Trek Bounding ideas. If you're unfamiliar with the term it simply refers to dressing in a subtle way to express your fandom through clothing and accessories. They always say to dress for the job you want and ours is Starfleet!
That's why we were very excited when Wild Bangarang got in touch and asked if we'd review their range of officially licensed Star Trek apparel.
Our usual disclaimer, we only review stuff we like. We know licensee holders pass vigorous standards to sell Star Trek products so if we don't like something, it just means it's not our taste. We don't want to use our little voice on the internet … Continue Reading ››
You all kept asking so we have delivered. Every Friday night at 21:00 UTC during Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery we will host a Friday night livestream chat to share our reaction to the episode, speculate what is happening all whilst indulging in Star Trek themed cocktails!
To make it a bit different from all the rest we're trying to keep it around 30 - 45 mins long and to include the following segments:
=^= Trek themed Cocktails =^= Trek-Bounding ideas (normal attire trekified) =^= What The Spock!? =^= Who's Meme is that anyway? =^=Disco Star of the week.
Our first livestream was a lot of fun as we discussed Angels, red signals and how to make Jippers (minus a beach). We currently stream to Facebook Live but hoping to stream to our Continue Reading ››
