We have a launch date!Star Trek London are being as secretive as Section 31 with their plans but like all good agents they have disseminated a small piece of information to keep us guessing.But that's not going to keep us from looking for more clues! Today @StarTrek_London revealed the 'dates' of this mystery event....The popular opinion amongst fans is that its The Experience which is currently touring the United States.We have noticed that none of our great suggestions are circulating! (See previous post Is London Ready? and What is Star Trek London? )We would have thought if it were he Experience they would host it for longer. This has to be a convention right? Oh please let this be a convention!Three days sounds about right? … Continue Reading ››
By CaroleMe and Sam have always loved to have something to get excited about. Be it the invention of a new cocktail (More Tranya?), a fabulous new uniform or the growing success of our TiTs (Trekkies In Training).But at the moment the mystery of Star Trek London has us laying awake at night. See our first post announcing and speculating about Star Trek LondonNumerous rumours and educated guesses are flying around but my hope is for something that'll get us truly excited.....The opening of the first Starfleet academy!!! Instead of overlooking the bay of San Francisco, it can overlook the London skyline. I know it's crazy but its my hope all the same.Continue Reading ››
Many people blog about how Star Trek has influenced the development of technology or how it inspired someone to become an astronaut.
But not many people observe how Star Trek influences fashion. This is why Trekkie Girl Sam and Trekkie-With-Advanced-Training Teressa (See episode 13) headed to London Fashion Week to check it out. Fashion analysts and bloggers love to comment on themes and inspirations, so we have too:We started off with some TNG Retro inspiration in the Jasper Conran show. Although it could pass off as TOS, its clearly a tribute to the blonde and buff bodies of Rubicun III. Got to love those Edo!
We had predicted that Bajoran fashions would be on trend again this season but we weren't prepared for … Continue Reading ››
Ready!? We're as ready as blood-fevered Vulcan trapped inside Janeway's ready room.But ready for what? Let's get all Sherlock Holmes like....Here's what we know. All the Trek News sites have got a press release with this link.....
Its official, the imprint is CBS. The insignia says New Movie (derrr I know!)They are organising 'something' in London and from the press releases it looks like October.Possibilities:Favoured option one - They are filming here. Maybe they have gone back in the past to the eugenics wars and need to find a city that oozes of 1992?Sam and Carole still have their 1992 clothing! --->Please make this so!Option twoSuper awesome viral marketing thingy. Find the cloaked … Continue Reading ››
So JJ is upset about the photos that were leaked from the movie set. Upset!? I'd be furious! Have they got a Ferengi in charge of security?We happened to get a glimpse of one of these pictures, for a split second. Its hard to avoid spoilers and images like that when you're engaged in the Star Trek community. It's not just a shame that someone took these photo's but that it spread like a tribble epidemic. We were enjoying the mystery of not knowing whether Cumberbatch was playing a Talosian or a Klingon. Eventually details will be revealed but I think the build up and the way information is released is all part of the excitement and magic of movie making.'Spoilers' is an appropriate name for leaks.*wish this rant was … Continue Reading ››
What a great honour, Sam is chuffed today because her TrekSpace profile picture has been featured on its badge! Yes that tiny picture is of Sam.Fame at last!Trek Space is a social networking site for Star Trek fans. It's great because it's only about Star Trek so unlike Facebook, you don't have to talk to your real life friends and family.Come and be friends with Sam of Trek Space. And use the comment box below to nag Carole into joining!
There's been plenty of romance and bromance on Trek over the years so us Trekkie Girls have been looking for par'Mach in all the right places....After discussing which members of the cast we'd most like to Pon Farr with, (Sam: Data, call me!) we decided to shake it up and think about which characters would be a good match across the series. Which characters do you think would make a great couple?
Uhura and Julian Bashir
Can't you just imagine these two seeking out Jamaharon with each other under the suns of Risa?
We think either the Nichelle Nicholls or Zoe Saldana version work, but as one of them is committed to Spock we'll go with Nichelle.
Review by Sam
I snatched this from the postman as he walked up my driveway this morning. It wasn't my proudest moment, wearing only a dressing gown and having only applied makeup to one eye.
Why is it, you then feel the need to tell the postman, what is it they are delivering to you?
The next thing I did was take the photo above as I felt a great need to share to this with my Trekkie Friends. Its one of the few times when there is a global release date that we Brits get to watch things before the Americans wake up and fill the boards with spoilers. So Na! (be quiet Auzzies!)
Then there was a great dilemma....do I watch Standard Def Encounter at Farpoint first? So I can 'feel the benefit' when I watch it in HD?
Nope, couldn't wait.
The Menu page is pretty basic
It doesn't really need to be anything too fancy. The options include
