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 ››

Picard’s Chair on eBay



Our friends at the New Starship Foundation are eBaying the Captain Picard chair from their Bridge that they salvaged from the 1998 Star Trek Tour. 
If us Trekkies have ever got so close to owning THE Picard's chair, THIS IS IT!!
Seeing as we could barely afford the shipping cost, we wish you other bidders success but secretly hope someone near us wins so we can be friends with you and you'll invite us around to play any time!



Here are the details:
100% of the proceeds go to the educational nonprofit New Starship Foundation
This Star Trek The Next Generation Captain's Chair was originally made by Paramount Studios created
for a Star Trek Tour in 1998, then the chair sat outside for over 5 years, left to rot. … Continue Reading ››

DSTG day 3

It's closing up time here at DSTG and we are sad it's all over. We spent the afternoon doing our Women of Star Trek panel which we hope raised awareness to the role of women in Star Trek and in the audiences that watch it. We are very grateful to all who came and especially those who shared their insights with everyone else. The William Shatner talk was captivating. He has an ability to answer every question with a remarkable and relevant story from his past. Karl Urban talked about his other work and quoted his own lines in character much to the audiences delight.
Did you know his three favourite films are One Flew over the Cookoos nests, Bullit and No country for old men?
The TNG bunch have the reputation for being the most close knit bunch but the same rapport … Continue Reading ››

TNG Shatner event

This was the moment we had been looking forward to all weekend. William Shatner hosting the TNG reunion event. We wanted to see how this would play out. How would the personalities of the high energy crazy TNG bunch gel with Bills larger than life persona. And we weren't disappointed, it was an hour of belly laughs that would make a Targ smile
Whilst Bill was the moderator, it was Brent who got the first question in asking how Bill felt when he heard about the Next Gen being made? You got to admire his honesty when we said "with great envy and jealousy"! The questions from the audience was electic. And yes someone snuck in a happy birthday request *collective throwing of tribbles*. Some of our favourite questions were; What other Star Trek series would you have liked to be in? Gates - The new … Continue Reading ››

DSTG Day 2 panels

Mornings are not our friend but fortunately we have a timezone shift on our side. So we just made the first talk of the day with Marina Sirtis and LeVar Burton, followed by Gates McFadden and Michael then Brent Spiner. This gave us an envious insight into what life must have been like back on the TNG sets. We say envious because we would have loved to have been part or that comraderie. But it's a privilege to have them share their stories with us fans.
Check out our Twitter feed for the highlights of these talks. We then had the honour of hosting the costume contest which was actually our idea to hold quite last minute. There were so many fantastic costumes it was really hard to choose. … Continue Reading ››
