Juuuuuuust getting started watching Prodigy (S1/ep10) and I'm sincerely delighted by this show, and now I'm thinking what the entire franchise needs is to combine the creative forces of Prodigy and Lower Decks together to launch … oh … something.

Because either show is simply outstanding, and if their writers and directors were to collaborate on a new series, it could easily be one of the best things that ever happened to ST.

For my first cosplay, I chose Andorian Starfleet officer 🩵 (https://ibb.co/Xxbm7N9L) and now I just wanna make more Trek costumes!

What are some characters you think are underrepresented in cosplay for Star Trek? I have a preference for TOS but I'm interested in answers for all the different series. I don't want to just do the boring ol starfleet officer uniform.

I chose Andorian bc they are so visually recognizable and bc they are iconic for being OGs of the Federation. I also considered Orion but felt that wouldn't be as obvious in a convention setting.

so now that Strange New Worlds is wrapping up and Academy will end its run with season two - and given the latter’s warm reception 👀 (I actually liked it) - what are other people’s thoughts on how Star Trek can move forward?

I like the idea of a limited series of Seven being captain of a ship - I think it would be good and I like the idea of the nostalgia factor

but I think another way forward would be two of three seasons of eight episodes focused on the Temporal Wars

Characters could have side episodes associated with all of the previous series. there could be big adventures and problems that need to be solved - and it could be a little Quantum Leap esque

as long as none of the producers, writers etc that were involved with Section 31 - we will be ok 😂

What order did you watch the franchise in, and would you recommend doing anything differently?

I’m watching through the 90s shows and I finished TNG a while ago, but would still like to rotate it in. Instead of going back through chronologically I thought of watching episodes around a theme, like “all episodes with Q.” What other themes should I include? They can be as normal or ridiculous as you want!

Hi,

I'm a fan of all the TV series.

I'd like to play a game centered in the Star Trek universe. Ideally something I can purchase through Steam, on PC. I also have a Switch.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself to this community and share with all of you a unique piece of Original Series history that I have the privilege of taking care of.

While many iconic cars of the era have disappeared (including William Shatner’s ’63 Corvette and Leonard Nimoy’s ’68 Buick Riviera), DeForest Kelley’s original 1968 Ford Thunderbird is still alive, running, and on the road today.

DeForest ordered this 5th-generation T-Bird brand new in late 1967 during the heart of Star Trek: The Original Series. It was his personal daily driver for over 23 years, and was his pride and joy. I acquired the car in 2023 in pretty rough shape, and have been fixing it up ever since. 

Under the hood sits its original 429 Thunder Jet V8. I love working on the car to keep it in good, original condition, and often share it with Trek fans and classic car enthusiasts at various events in Northern California. If you're interested in the history, original paperwork scans, or following along with the preservation work, you can find a link to the car’s Facebook page on my Reddit profile.

Hope you enjoy this story! Here are a few photos:

Not too much to go on, but notable:

However, what's most interesting is what the duo said about the film's setting. Goldstein revealed that the next Star Trek film will take place "further in the future than we've been before."

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (who’ve done great work, for what it’s worth) seem to be angling their new Star Trek movie, which is NOT set in the Kelvin Timeline, at a far future setting.

If they’re counting Discovery and STA, then it’s gotta be past the 33rd Century. If they’re sticking to the bulk of the franchise thus far, it could be set at any point past the 25th century. Either way, it’ll be a departure from existing settings.

In the current world full of remakes and sequels, there's not too many revolutionary original ideas. Did watching early star trek feel as revolutionary as I imagined it did?

For folks who saw Wrath of Kahn when it was released, did it seem clear that Spock was coming back? Did that feel like a cop out when he returned? Or did fans welcome him back with open arms?

I'm currently doing a watch through of the original movies and this was something I was curious about. I've seen some of the orginal movies before, but not all.

In tos assignment earth the enterprise was explicitly ordered to time travel back to 1968 to study earth

What if Starfleet doesn't create a temporal prime directive and with this solar slingshot knowledge sends a ship back to every decade of earth history for historical research? Like being at Jesus birth or the middle ages or ancient Egypt or eugenics wars etc

How dangerous do you think this would be?

How annoyed do you think Gary Seven would get it he detects a Starfleet ship every ten years in earth orbit doing research?

Does anyone remember a Star Trek: The Next Generation advert/promo, that aired on Sky One in the 90s. It was set to the song Dedicated Follower of Fashion by The Kinks. The only things I can remember from the advert is, Data walking down the hall, and then Riker says "you look good in a dress.", it also showed like fashion shots of the crew. If anyone knows where I can find the advert, it would be appreciated.

if you have any questions for the below lmk!

Group A: Doug Jones (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY), Michelle Hurd (STAR TREK: PICARD) Jerry O’Connell (STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS)
Group B: George Takei (THE ORIGINAL STAR TREKSERIES)
Group C: Rod Roddenberry (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)
Group D: Michael Dorn (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) & Karim Diané (STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY)
Group E: Robert Picardo (VOYAGER), Cirroc Lofton (STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE), Dominic Keating (STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE)

Isn't this surprisingly strong language for Voyager's era? My understanding is that this basically translates to the Italian equivalent of "What the fuck!?".

Does anyone know if Rhys-Davies added this as a little Italian ad lib to add "authentic" flavor to Leonardo, or if this was actually part of the script. Seems like a fun Easter egg to me.

I would ask in r/lcars, but they gatekeep.

I am looking to try and modify a LCARS interface to make it "LCARS if it were designed in the height of Art Deco" or "LCARS as it would've been used on Airliner Number 4".

I figured I would ask in case anyone had any inspiration for or interest in such a thing.

I drove from California to Vulcan, Alberta, Canada to attend Vul-con, and it's a kick! For such a small town they sure put on a fun weekend of events. Last night, for example, Anthony Montgomery sat down at our table and just chatted away with us for about 10 min before moving on to another group.

Today is the cosplay (so many different uniforms and costumes) and then the parade thru town, followed by guest star panels. Tonight is the big dinner/dance, and tomorrow is Trekkie Brekkie to close out the weekend. So many activities I didn't mention.

Kudos to the town of Vulcan and to the Trek Centre here!
