Destination Star Trek Germany – Win party tickets!

As part of our takeover of Destination Star Trek Germany each wednesday, we have "obtained" two tickets to the Saturday night party. As they say on Risa, "What's ours, is yours" which is why we are giving them away like a psychologically unbalanced Ferengi to one lucky DSTG guest. 




To enter all you need to do is RT this Tweet:



There are some rules *groans*. You must already be attending Destination Star Trek Germany in Frankfurt and hold at least a Saturday entry ticket. These can be purchased here.

Destination Star Trek Germany – Saturday night party giveaway!

Us at the Klingon Party at DSTL.
Can't see how Bloodwine is still legal!
On Wednesday 18th December 8pm GMT/9pm CET we will again takeover the Destination Star Trek Twitter and Facebook accounts.

But this time, using the skills of Ferengi taking over the Enterprise Section 31 spies, we have obtained two tickets to the Saturday night party at Destination Star Trek Germany in Frankfurt.  

As it is a time of celebration we want to give these away to one lucky winner! 
Join us on Twitter, Facebook and our blog tomorrow for a live chat and for more information on how you can win this prize.

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!
 
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!
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 ››

DSTG Takeover!

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!

Join us every Wednesday at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET) where we will talk all things Star Trek and get excited about next Feb's event. 

This Wednesday 20th we will be talking about the guest line up. Who is going? Who do you want to see? Who are you most excited about meeting? 

Keep an eye out for … Continue Reading ››

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.
 
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 Spiner
Jonathan 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.....

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 ››

New 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 ››

London Film and Comic Con 2013

Writing a post is like entering the shuttlebay doors after a long away mission. Real life pulled us away for a while and we're a bit behind but got plenty to talk about.
Thanks to all of you who followed our tweets at LFCC, it was a fantastic event with a plentiful and enjoyable Star Trek guest lineup. 
Our highlight was the DS9 Talk which was one of the better Trek talks we have seen. Not only were the answers from the actors superb (naming specific episodes by actual title) but the questions from the audience were particularly astute and original. Well done Trekkies! Our favourite question from the audience was to Rene Auberjonois asking "what was the liquid used for Odo's regeneration?" - never heard that one before! Just as the audience thought Rene would never be able to answer that, he … Continue Reading ››
