Trekkie Girls ep – London Film and Comic Con ’15
The Trekkie Girls go to another London Film and Comic con. This is their review. Check out their written report here
Simon Pegg and Memory Alpha
Having stumbled across this snippet on Treknews of an interview with Simon Pegg with the New York Daily News, we are pleased to learn that Simon Pegg has been referring to Memory Alpha whilst writing for Star Trek: Beyond.
We're hoping this means lots of hidden Easter eggs, crossovers and blantent references in our belovered Star Trek universe.
We know that Pegg is a self confessed fan, so why do we love that he is browsing our favourite Trek site? For Borg level perfection, obviously! We like our references to be tidy and laser scalpel sharp.
It's also a good indication that he respects the franchise and us nit-picky fans, that he wants to deliver it well. Either that or he went to google a spelling (maybe Qo'noS!? - ouch!) and then got stuck in the most horrendous wiki-loop ever.
Btw, does anyone else play this game on Memory Alpha? Pick two random and … Continue Reading ››

We're a bit late uploading this one!
The Trekkie Girls discuss rumours around new series, update on the SF Ball and attempt to decipher Zachary Quinto's tweets in What The Spock. Contains adult (albeit immature) humour.
LFCC Sunday 19th July 2015
It's that time of year again for one of our convention staples. Showmaster's London Film and Comic Con.
We've been attending these for years. It feels like that familiar family holiday we take together. But this year stands out. This year it was BIG!! There was some serious guest star pulling power happening.
We heard that it was going to be hot and that it was crazy busy (It always seems to fall on the hottest day of the year!). We prepared ourselves mentally and physically for this away mission. Lots of water, tiny TNG skant dresses, water, we even bought new boots that were super comfy (sign that we're getting old). Armed with this and psyching ourselves up for standing around in a sweaty moshpit, we were actually relieved to find it wasn't as bad as we had imagined it to be.
As always the @TrekkieGirls are preparing for the #StarTrek panel. … Continue Reading ››
Bluetooth Communicator – UK Stockist
When Startrek.com tweeted the news that an officially licenced Bluetooth Commuicator that connects to your phone, is about to hit the market we didn't need to read too much more to shout out "shut up and take my Latinum!"
But where in the UK can we get our hands on this bleeping beauty!?
Set coordinates for Firebox.com to get your preorder in now. The bad news is it's not available until January 2016. The good news is that it means it's just in time for next years 50 year anniversary celebration of Star Trek (more on that to follow). We can't wait to hang up on a PPI claim call in this!
Here's all the nitty-gritty details should you require more convincing:

Here's all the nitty-gritty details should you require more convincing:
- Bluetooth handset that pairs with your mobile phone
- Make and receive mobile telephone calls like a fully-fledged Starfleet commander
- Painstakingly highly-detailed and accurate to the original
- 3D scanned … Continue Reading ››
London Film and Comic Con 17th -19th July
We're going back to one of our favourite events of the year London Film and Comic Con! And 'going back' is a theme this year with a Back To The Future reunion no less!
Taking place in the Olympia Hall on Friday 17th July, Saturday 18th and Sunday the 19th of July 2015 be sure to book your tickets fast as the ever popular show has even more wow factor this year to attract the crowds.
The guest that has sent shockwaves through geekdom was the big announcement that Michael J Fox will be joining Christopher Lloyd, Claudia Wells, Donald Fullilove, Jeffrey Weissman and Lea Thompson for a BTTF cast reunion. You need super tickets for MJF but it's so rare, it's got to be worth it.
Showmasters have also 'obtained' (for want of a better word!) some more unique guests such as Sigorney Weaver and Neve Campbell! Amazing, how do they get … Continue Reading ››

We had heard about Michael Dorn's pitch for a Trek Spin-off based on Worf but it wasn't until we tuned in to Dorn's AMA on Reddit that we learnt more about this exciting venture.

t seems every third Tuesday there is another Trek-series rumour circulating but this one, of all of them, has got us really excited.
Why? Well for many reasons but here's our top three.
1. It's based in the prime universe. Nuff said.
2, It's based after the events of Deep Space Nine but before Nemesis. Which puts it between 2375 - 2379. Hopefully it can shed some light on the rebuilding of the Federation, Cardassian, Klingon and Romulan empires following the Dominion War. It could also feature the return of Voyager and even explain why Worf appears on the Enterprise at the beginning of Nemesis!
3, It's Worf! Easily the most developed Character in the … Continue Reading ››

Did he really say that? The Original TiT’s Season 2 TNG review
So, I embarked on my TNG Season 2 quest with marked trepidation. My head had been filled with somewhat negative thoughts (“Dr Crusher isn’t in it”; “just get through it – it gets WAY better mid-Season 3”), so my expectations admittedly weren’t very high. At least it’s only a short season of just 22 episodes I thought to myself (thanks to a writer’s strike I’m reliably informed). Well, I have to say I was quite pleasantly surprised…
Right, first things first, let’s just get this one out of the way: Pulaski. The Star Trek equivalent of Marmite.
I have to admit, I disliked her immensely from the very beginning (hate is a strong word), and although I had somewhat warmed to her by the time we got to the likes of “Pen Pals” and “Samaritan Snare” (where she had begun to show an iota of compassion), I … Continue Reading ››

It's polling day here in the UK and who said politics can't be fun? Last week we compared Trek characters to politician personalities and today we thought we'd ask; what would be the key campaigning topics if we were living in the 24th Century. Rather than #GE2015 it's #GE2394
Romulas
Any Federation Presidential candidate worth their salt will have a strategy in place for dealing with the repercussions of Romulus's demise. Hopefully this will encourage the Vulcan/Romulan unification process further.
We'd also be keen to hear their stance on Remans, who's world would have been destroyed by the same Super-nova. What efforts are taking place to repatriate them with their Roman brothers and Sisters and Vulcan cousins?
Klingon and Cardassian Empires
These empires are attempting to recover from being decimated by the Dominion War. The Federation should not assume they are weak and no threat. In times of desperation, … Continue Reading ››
