Knocked Up

Warm up a Maturation Chamber because Trekkie Girl Sam is pregnant! 

After 15 long years together, me and my hubby Neil have decided to create our own offspring. After years of putting it off we knew there was only one way our friends and family would believe us and that was to ask the finest crew in Starfleet to back up our claim. So here it is:
Sign reads: Meet Baby Jean-Luc.
Sam and Neil's Next Generation
Beaming down late September 2014


It will of course have a solid Trekkie upbringing. We have placeholder name of Jean-Luc which is warming on us.
The prime directive will be taught alongside the highway code and Little One will boldly go to … Continue Reading ››

Kate’Ehleyr

Been debating wether to put this up but after watching TNG Reunion I keep thinking how much Kate Middleton resembles K'Ehleyr. This is meant with every respect to both of them because I think they are both beautiful women. Maybe it's the long glossy locks? Do you have any Trek character/ celebrity lookalikes to suggest?


Happy New Year 2014

The holodeck doors open and the Trekkie Girls get kicked out, back to reality.

Happy New Year to all our followers. We have had a busy few weeks so wanted to give you a little update on our goings on.

We have resumed our weekly takeovers of the Destination Star Trek Germany Twitter and Facebook accounts every Wednesday at 8pm GMT / 9pm CET. On last nights takeover we were able to reveal the poll results for the Saturday night party theme for DSTG. Ladies of Star Trek won the fan vote and we had a great evening talking about some of Star Trek's leading ladies. This will be an interesting one to see develop but are looking forward to seeing what attendees choose to wear. Time … Continue Reading ››

Caption Contest Winner

We had a blast yesterday during our Destination Star Trek takeover. The theme was Data's Day and we learnt a lot from chatting to you. 
We heard lots of great stories about meeting Brent Spiner including Becca and Kay from Twitter who travelled all the way to Los Angeles from England to watch him perform live in a play.

Espa100 told us a funny story about how they couldn't understand each other because his English wasn't very good at the time so they communicated with hands and feet! (images of Data dancing with Dr Crusher come to mind!)
We also learned that most of you think Data swearing in Generations is more humorous than when Q gave Data the gift of laughter!

There were a lot of good suggestions for the caption contest but we picked … Continue Reading ››

Data’s Day


Tonight we are firing up the MIDAS array and preparing to take over the Destination Star Trek Germany Twitter and Facebook accounts again. Join us each Weds at 8pm GMT. 
Tonight we will be discussing all things Data and DSTG guest Brent Spiner. We would love to hear your experiences of meeting him so to start, we thought we'd start the discussion with this YouTube video. Contains immaturity and waffling! - you have been warned!

Double Take Takei

Oh George! We had to Double Take this Takei image today (M-kay?), but not for the reasons you'd think.

This is where we live! We clapped with gay glee when we saw our city's proud historic dockyard being shared by the good Captain Sulu. As you can see we're a liberal bunch here in Portsmouth so feel free to pay us a visit anytime Mr Takei. 


In fact, we have a Christmas market at the dock in December where we all dress up like we're celebrating Worf's promotion
"Or we could just make him walk the plank?"

Chris Hadfield’s Five Month Mission

Commander Chris Hadfield, of the Canadian Space Agency and until yesterday, Station Commander of the International Space Station only appeared on our sensors when William Shatner, MBB, publicised a live chat with a fellow canadian who works in outer space. Since then we have been obsessed with this guy. We know we are not alone, with 800,000 twitter followers and a list of celebrity fans as long a warp nacelle he is a popular astronaut.
Like all who have followed his adventures, we have also enjoyed his photos, his YouTube videos, blobs of water and zero-g guitar. But what really does it for us is his ability to capture the human spirit for adventure, exploration and curiosity. These are all the elements within Star Trek which have made … Continue Reading ››

The Good, The Bad, The Benedict

By Carole
He's hot, witty, smart, an amazing dresser and oh so well spoken, he'll steal your word (and l should I know it happened to me) buts that's not what has me excited about his role as the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness - I won't lie it is part of it 😉
"Did I lock the shuttle bay door when I left this morning?"
I adore the '09 JJ film but the one thing that I thought fell a little short was that the antagonist, the adorable Eric Bana, just wasn't intimidating, I never felt that Kirk and crew were in true peril. But from what I've seen and heard so far (and its beginning like I've seen the whole film now) Benedict aka John Harrison … Continue Reading ››
