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!

SF BALL 23 – Review, Gates McFadden, Patti Yasutake and Larry Nemecek Interviews

This year we were delighted to experience a bit more of what the SF Ball has to offer. Having previously only been able to attend for a day, new ticket options meant we were able to experience the much talked about Saturday night cabaret. sfballtransporter It also allowed us to immerse ourselves in a different type of convention. We are admittedly more accustom to large scale events and some purely fan led events. We feel the SF Ball sits in it's own special category. As the Borg would say "It is unique". The organisers are clearly fans, of that, there is no doubt. But there is a professionalism and reputation (from both customers and the talent) which has made this event last for over two decades.
