So we are all Rutherford?

I might buy these just to collect. I don’t even play Magic.

Tobias Funke would like a word.

It because D.C. is not a state, and they have no Representative in Congress.

Engineering isn’t so different from medical.

I guess I forgot my memory too.

Didn’t Guy question what his character was supposed to do since everyone forgot about him when he was meant to be just a one-time appearance on the TV show but kept returning?

You meant Neelix, right?

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But what is he supposed to do?

That did get a chuckle from me. I’m surprised there weren’t more mentions of stuff from Lower Decks.

EDIT: The licorice and hot banana scenes are Reno centric too. Reno eats licorice as a snack and uses a hot banana as a distraction.

Didn’t they settle on Klingons borrowing the design.

EDIT: I have a memory of my grandfather saying Romulans gave it to Klingons.

Starfleet really needs to stop associating it’s people with the unfortunate death statistic of the 2260s.

 

I want to live in a world where a person like Kor can accept a person like Dax.

 

If you have not seen this documentary, you now have no excuse. Go watch it.

 

William Shatner will be touring the U.S. from July 30-November 16 (he is already scheduled to appear at STLV, so a lack of August dates). He is screening Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan with a Q & A.

Does anyone have experience attending an event of this type or specifically a Shatner centric event? Would you recommend attending this? I have an opportunity to go to one of the tour dates. A single general ticket is $64.70

 
 

It is a Displate poster of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D senior crew. This was unexpected. I only see this person in passing for an hour before I leave (they work overnight). Trekkies really are great people.

Also the card they got is of Kirk with stickers inside.

If you want to see a better quality image of the artwork (the poster is metal), here is a link to the Displate website.

Visited Vasquez Rocks (startrek.website)

Sharing my photo of me at Vasquez Rocks that I mentioned in a different post.

Looks much smaller in person. Didn’t get a chance to get upclose. I was cutting it close on time to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights (it was a 2 hour drive in stop and go traffic for me).

But um, yay! I got to see the Famous Rock (the formation featured throughout Trek). There is another formation called Witch’s Hat (for looking like a witch’s hat).

 
 

So I wanted to start off by saying, yesterday was my birthday, the reason I chose to go on the second to last night of Fan Fest Nights. Earlier in the day I drove out to Vasquez Rocks (approximately 40 miles from Universal Studios). It was such an amazing night.

For those unaware, Fan Fest Nights is a new (first year) after hours event at Universal Studios Hollywood celebrating fandoms. Specific to the event, not preexisting were: Star Trek, Dungeon & Dragons, Back to the Future (the backlot had the entire Hilly Valley town square built for the event), One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen. This event included themed walking attractions (aka shows), characters (photo ops), food, drinks, and merchandise.

For Star Trek we got Red Alert a walking attractions that emulated the attraction from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas years ago. Red Alert set in 2403, where you travel from Spaceport Los Angeles to Athan Prime to visit the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (featuring the actual bridge set from Picard season 3) located at the Fleet Museum. Depending on when you went during the night, different actors/aliens would be seen. Among the species were Human, Trill, Bajoran, Andorian, Vulcan, Orion and one I couldn't name (I swear was Elaysian but didn't make sense due to gravity). At certain points actors would look for guest wearing Picard era uniforms (like myself) and ask them to check their Combadge.

Aside from Red Alert, the park featured Quark's Cafe for themed food and beverage and Ten Forward for additional alcoholic beverages. I had a Cardassian Dog, Vulcan Fritters and Bajoran Hasperat (I forgot to get a photo of the hasperat since it wasn't available when they opened for general admission). As for the beverages I had a Orion Hurricane (real delaq not included) from Quark's and Ceti Eel Margarita at Ten Forward (gummy eels in it).

I bought myself one piece of merch, Ceti Eel earrings. I need to get my right ear pierced now.

This recipe comes from once again The Star Trek Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. The best part of this recipe is getting to pick your own seeds and cheese!

That look. (startrek.website)

This box and toy itself are showing its age. The view screen is hard to rotate, the battery compartment has erosion (but no batteries), the strap is very short. I wanted this all for the looks (cosplay), till the day I might be able to purchase The Wand Company’s Tricorder (probably never at this point; 😕).
