Whenever we see a tweet declaring a 'new' trailer we have to do a little bit of studying to ascertain if it is new and different from the last one we saw. Not that we're complaining but we reckon if you shuffle all scenes from all trailers you can piece together the whole film now!

This latest trailer looks incred! We are itching like a scabby tribble to see this film now. Is it our over active imaginations or do we spy an Excelsior class ship? We can almost see Sulu eyeing it up and mentally picking out paint samples.
As you know we love our Star Trek Conventions, but we don't get to enough fan-only run events. As we knew the organisers and a lot of the groups involved in Dawn of The Federation we knew we had to give it a go. 'Dawn' as it got shortened too, was intended as a celebration of the 50 year pre-anniversary of first contact. And we swear by the name of the prophets we celebrated in a way that would make Troi and Zefram proud.
We had a three hour drive to Leicester (which is called 'the midlands' but is every bit 'up North' to us!) we arrived about midday. We had missed some of the group presentations which felt a bit like missing a mission briefing, you weren't sure whether it was a good thing or not!? Fortunately we were able to catchup by meeting each table one … Continue Reading ››
Another eventful week with anniversary of First Contact and a month away from Star Trek Into Darkness gracing our cinema screens and prime universe!

Just like how touching the Pheonix made it more real for Picard. Being able to purchase tickets to Star Trek Into Darkness makes it ohhh so real. Tickets are now on sale for the following UK Cinemas:
Cineworld Showcase Empire Picture House Odeon IMAX 3D Odeon 3D Odeon 2D Vue So a thorough coverage and selection to choose from. These can be purchased through the official Paramount Star Trek Into Darkness site here. Not all locations showtimes seem to be available yet. But for our local cinema (Portsmouth) it allowed us to click through to Vue's website and purchase tickets. Can't help but notice the Wednesday 8th May 00.05 screening hailing us!
....To watch first contact! Whilst tomorrow is first contact. It's still good to get that cheap thrill from hearing Data say todays date. It's the simple things! This year is a special one though as it's the 50 year pre-anniversary of first contact.
We'll be celebrating the event with fans across the country this weekend at the National Space Centre, Leicester. Tomorrow evening we'll upload our video on ways to celebrate this special event. Then stay tuned this Saturday for our live tweeting from Dawn of The Federation. Where we will no doubt make endless innuendoes over the name Dawn.

As usual, Trekkie Girls will be all over this like Kirk to an Orion girl. Note how the hashtag is DST and not DSTL.....we're so getting a clue right now.*Can Barely Contain...Excitement!*
This week most Trek tweeters went crazy over April Fools day. Luckily no harm was done, as we all remember what happened to little Willie Potts. But we kinda hope Shatner does get a part in the new Star Wars film. Maybe making out with Carrie Fisher? (We hear you shouting "The line must be drawn here!")
Here are some of our favourite tweets of the week:
Happy Birthday to Marina Sirtis! The unsung hero who saved the day in so many episodes of TNG 🙂 We Vulcan salute you. — Trekkie Girls (@TrekkieGirls) March 29, 2013
Following the release of the new Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer, there has been a lot of reaction, both positive and negative to the scene of Carol Marcus in her underwear. We share our thoughts on the scene that has got the fans talking...and drooling!
We love twittering our thoughts but find they seem to disappear of the edge of the galactic barrier once sent, so we thought we'd include a weekly blog post to our favourite Tweets. Hope you relish them as much as we.
Watching TNG Second Chances. They should have named this one Ménage a Troi instead. You know Will, Tom and Deanna are thinking it.— Trekkie Girls (@TrekkieGirls) March 23, 2013
24th Century Socialites. 21st Century high functioning nerds. We go to Star Trek Conventions and talk about Star Trek a lot.
