Is London ready for Star Trek??

Ready!? We're as ready as blood-fevered Vulcan trapped inside Janeway's ready room. But ready for what? Let's get all Sherlock Holmes like.... Here's what we know. All the Trek News sites have got a press release with this link.....
 
Its official, the imprint is CBS. The insignia says New Movie (derrr I know!) They are organising 'something' in London and from the press releases it looks like October. Possibilities: Favoured option one - They are filming here. Maybe they have gone back in the past to the eugenics wars and need to find a city that oozes of 1992?
Sam and Carole still have their 1992 clothing! ---> Please make this so! Option two Super awesome viral marketing thingy. Find the cloaked … Continue Reading ››

Coolant Leak! I mean Photo Leak!

So JJ is upset about the photos that were leaked from the movie set. Upset!? I'd be furious! Have they got a Ferengi in charge of security? We happened to get a glimpse of one of these pictures, for a split second. Its hard to avoid spoilers and images like that when you're engaged in the Star Trek community.  It's not just a shame that someone took these photo's but that it spread like a tribble epidemic. We were enjoying the mystery of not knowing whether Cumberbatch was playing a Talosian or a Klingon.  Eventually details will be revealed but I think the build up and the way information is released is all part of the excitement and magic of movie making. 'Spoilers' is an appropriate name for leaks. *wish this rant was … Continue Reading ››

Trek Space – Faced

What a great honour, Sam is chuffed today because her TrekSpace profile picture has been featured on its badge! Yes that tiny picture is of Sam. Fame at last! Trek Space is a social networking site for Star Trek fans. It's great because it's only about Star Trek so unlike Facebook, you don't have to talk to your real life friends and family. Come and be friends with Sam of Trek Space. And use the comment box below to nag Carole into joining!

Looking for par’Mach?

There's been plenty of romance and bromance on Trek over the years so us Trekkie Girls have been looking for par'Mach in all the right places.... After discussing which members of the cast we'd most like to Pon Farr with, (Sam: Data, call me!) we decided to shake it up and think about which characters would be a good match across the series. Which characters do you think would make a great couple?
Uhura and Julian Bashir
 
Can't you just imagine these two seeking out Jamaharon with each other under the suns of Risa?
We think either the Nichelle Nicholls or Zoe Saldana version work, but as one of them is committed to Spock we'll go with Nichelle.
Logic: Julian likes intelligent, … Continue Reading ››

Happy New Year!

 
Carole and Sam at our New Years Eve party
 
We love New Years Eve and celebrated 4 time zones! At 10pm we celebrated the Estonian New Year with our lovely Estonian friend Kaidi.
Then we thought we had better celebrate Central European Time for our European neighbours. Then it was good old GMT time, centre of the universe! 
We went to bed just after New York hit midnight. 
We have had a great year and starting Trekkie Girls has definitely been a highlight for us (we had been talking about it for 15 years!) 
We did have lots of trek shenanigans on NYE though, and whilst we were in our civvies that didn't stop our friends suiting up:
