If you've been a Star Trek fan and an internet dweller for some years you will have probably seen a reference to Unbelievable!!!!! (There are FIVE explanation marks!). 

If you haven't heard of it, you're in for a treat.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! is a Sci-Fi Parody Adventure which follows the exploits of four offbeat astronauts. One is a puppet, Captain Kirk Stillwood-- who travels to the Moon on a rescue mission to determine the fate of two Space Agency … Continue Reading ››

Friday Night Live Chat – Chrono-Trek card game review

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!

Dark Sublime, most dIvine.

The Run-up

In December last year we learned that Marina Sirtis aka Deanna Troi would be making her West End debut at Trafalgar Studios. The show wouldn't be running for long (it's final performance is the 3rd August).

There was a huge amount of hype in the run up from the incredibly passionate and enthusiastic team made up of Andrew Keates (Director), Jamie Chapman Dixon and Piers Cottee-Jones (Producers) who went up and down the country, across convention halls to promote this play.

So we were pretty fast to book the moment the tickets had gone on sale. Had we waited just a few days we would have have purchased through the crowdfunding site but alas we had already committed a weekend and made an away mission out of it.

More Star Trek designs added to Wild Bangarang collection.

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!

Wild Bangarang Star Trek Leggings Review + Discount Code

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 ››

Review – Lovarzi Official licensed products

If you're looking for Christmas gifts for a Trekkie than take a look at these winter wonders from Lovarzi. As we state in our vblog review, we are cautious when people ask us to review their products - mostly because we don't want to be in the awkward position of having to saying anything negative should we believe the product be worthy of disposable by a garbage scow!

Fortunately we were relieved to discover that the Umbrella's and Scarf's on offer from Lovarzi were good quality so we were happy to give them an honest review.

Available to buy direct from Lovarzi whilst stock lasts ... Perfect for this British weather!

STLV – Saturday Review

Saturday had an intensive schedule which was difficult for us because we had not got very much sleep! See our last post for more details

The Women in Star Trek panel was one we were keen to attend as we greatly admire all the panelists that consisted of; Kate Mulgrew, Mary Czerwinksi (Glue Guns and Phasers), Bjo Trimble (from saving Star Trek fame), Dr Kayla Iacovino (TrekMovie.com), Jarrah Hodge (Women at Warp) and Amy Imhoff (Shoes and Starships). They each spoke about how Star Trek had inspired feminism and their own personal choices with the biggest laugh going to Kayla who is an actual ‘Vulcanologist’.

Bjo Trimble is already a woman we look up to but this panel inspired us even more. She talked about being the 'little house wife who spoke out'. She mentioned that when she … Continue Reading ››

Star Trek Las Vegas Pt 2

‘Klingon Karaoke’ on Thursday night we enjoyed listening to fans with incredible voices (and signing credentials to back them up) wow those of us mingling on the dance floor.

When Connor Trinneer, Dominic Keating and Chris Doohan took to the stage, the audience were in hysterics.

Then there’s the regulars who’s antics fill us casual attendees feed each August. Seeing the famous ‘Eric Allan Hall’ sing was a real treat. Eric is such a good Data cosplayer we can't say for sure that he isn't a Soong Android.

Friday

The day started by buying more MAC for Star Trek (we know, we don’t need to even insert the Picard face palming meme because you’re already imagining it!)

Star Trek.com presented the 'Missing footage panel' with Roger Lay Jr (Producer), and the production team Michael and Denise Okuda, Phil Bishop, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. This was a panel we were very much … Continue Reading ››

A TiT’s Musings About Star Trek Beyond

image

* WARNING - SPOILER ALERT! *

I have been a very excited little TiT these past few weeks. The release of Star Trek Beyond marks the first “new Trek” that I have experienced since becoming a Trekkie in Training and fully-fledged TrekkieGirl. It was great to see my excitement and enthusiasm mirrored in two such hardcore Trekkies like Sam and Carole.

Having sadly been unable to attend the EPIC world premiere in San Diego because of the quite serious potential to loose both jobs and husbands following our whirlwind trip to LA, we had to settle for the next best thing – the very first screening of Star Trek Beyond at our local cinema, the Vue at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth. There was no discussion to be had, we would attend the triple bill screening including both Star Trek and Into Darkness, before the hotly anticipated … Continue Reading ››
