Star Trek Discovery Heading to Star Trek Las Vegas

... And so does a Trekkie Girl!
Next week the annual official Star Trek Convention beams back the Rio with Creation Entertainment's Star Trek Las Vegas!
Taking place 2nd - 6th August at the Rio All Suites Las Vegas the convention features over 100 stars from both in front and behind the scenes from each incarnation of Star Trek...yes, even the new movies (Mmm Karl Urban!). If headliners such as William Shatner (Captain Kirk), Patrick Stewart (THE PICARD!) and Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) weren't enough to entice us trekkies to travel all over the world to attend, then the latest news that Star Trek Discovery are sending an envoy to promote the new series, will have us flying to Vegas at Warp Speed.

San Diego Comic Con – Star Trek Discovery Panel.

A couple of casual conversations and friends being excellent has meant that Sam attended San Diego Comic Con this weekend. Moonlighting as a roving reporter for TrekCore I was able to attend the Star Trek Discovery Press Panel and speak to some of the cast and crew. Star Trek Discovery Panel SDCC I flew into SDCC at warp speed Saturday morning. Unfortunately  I didn't make it into the hall for the Discovery Panel hosted by Rainn Wilson who will play Harry Mudd. Those who made it in had been queuing since 6.30 am! Soon after the panel in which they dropped this stunning trailer. https://twitter.com/StarTrekNetflix/status/888886472081788929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Ftrekcore.com%2Fblog%2F2017%2F07%2Fstar-trek-discovery-reveals-at-sdcc-new-trailer-spocks-sister-and-more%2F https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/888868682247675904 San Diego Comic Con went all phasers firing in promoting Star Trek Discovery (and rightly so!) with an exhibition showcasing props, costumes and set pieces for us to gawd over and admire/nitpick - depending which side of the neutral zone you sit on.Continue Reading ››

Michael Burnham and the Vulcan Connection. Spock/Uhura’s Daughter?

There's a lot of speculation of a Vulcan connection surrounding Star Trek Discovery's lead character Michael Burnham. In the trailer, it appears as if a young Burnham is raised on Vulcan. But it goes beyond those 'on point' eyebrows and pixie haircut.
Michael Burnham - Vulcan Connection
In the trailer Burnham seems to talk with a Vulcan inflection at times. But she also shows emotion backing up speculation that she could be human, raised by Vulcans.
But as I lay awake last night considering all the possibilities, a theory of my own popped into my head. To use our new favourite meme:
rain robinson you can't stop a girl speculating
Yes I know we've … Continue Reading ››

Star Trek Discovery Trailer Reaction

  Star Trek Discovery's 1st Trailer has finally arrived and here is Trekkie Girl Sam's  reaction!
Trailer Reaction
What an evening! I had been watching the Twitter feeds all night. Upon hearing that Les Moonves (CBS CEO) explain that some "short clips" would air, I presumed there would be a planned release from Star Trek/CBS whereby all social media channels would drop the clip at the time of the Upfronts to avoid crappy leaks. Unfortunately crappy leaks happened. I shouldn't have looked, but I'm only human! But in case you've been living under a rock, here's the actual trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dxe_ugmIVM Here's my reaction, it's extra authentic as I failed to hit pause on the record!: https://youtu.be/yG3jb5WFQ1U BTW that was a highly emotional response for a Brit! Everything about this is impeccably Star Trek. It truly feels like Star Trek is back, but new. I hate, hate, hate to use this term but 'as a woman' it feels even more like my Star Trek. Even though Star Trek has had … Continue Reading ››
