V is for Vash but who is she? Vash is a fortune hunter in
Star Trek TNG 67th episode 'Captain's Holiday' with Jennifer
Hetrick co-starring with Patrick stewart. While chilling out
on the idyllic pleasure planet Risa, Captain Picard gets
involved with a hot babe totally passionate about
archaeology. At first she doesn't quite level with Picard
until the unethical Ferengi, Sovak and two time travelling
Vorgon criminals arrive on the scene looking for Captain Picard. The 'baddies' have come
a long way for a 27th century superweapon of ultimate power, called the
Tox Uthat. However Vash has other ideas and seeks only one thing, locate and
seize the small crystal cube and flog it to the highest
bidder.
Who
will find the Tox Uthat first? Which do you think is the
most destructive force ever created in the universe, the Tox
Uthat or the Federation's (Regula One) Genesis Torpedo or
Soran's rocket star killer?
live long and prosper, trekkers.

Star Trek The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek The Undiscovered Country is a good movie with
plenty of emotional attachment to all the main characters,
proper effects and peppered humour. Its fun watching the
hungover USS Enterprise NCC 1701-A crew piecing together the
clues in this Sherlockian style, Star Trek murder/mystery.
When a mysterious photon torpedo ploughs into the Klingon High Chancellor's flagship, Kronos One, its red alert, battle stations for Kirk's Enterprise. The real mind twister is why are the USS Enterprise computer banks lying? Scotty just isn't buying it.
What did Valeris see in the evil General Chang? Anyone with an eyepatch NAILED to his head is not exactly someone you want to mess with, Period. Who were you rooting for? Did you feel sorry for Valeris?

'Inform them of what? A new weapon that is invisible? Raving lunatics, that's what they'll call us!

Robotic Datas' Epic Win
Heres our Robotic Enterprise-D Science Officer, Commander Data awaiting word on missing DNA fragments essential to locating a super humanoid master species. Anyway what makes this youtube funny is the fact Data's positronic brain is encased in battleship armour!
He has the strength of 10 men, doesn't get tired, rust or ever sleep! In an epic encounter with the Klingon Nu’Daq, our metal friend Data is challenged to an armwrestle, Klingon style. When Nu’Daq loses he tries a new move. Lets just say the Klingon isn't counting on Data's very hard head.
Data: "My upper spinal support is a polyalloy designed for extreme stress. My skull is composed of cortenide and duranium."
When you listen closely you can hear chuckles in the Enterprises Ten Forward bar. Should Guinan aka Whoopi Goldberg have intervened? Did you know about Data's molybdenum-cobalt, tripolymer or polyalloys? What would you have done in the same situation?
Laugh Long and prosper, trekinators!

Cable Guy Star Trek Battle
Remember Kirk and Spock's duel in
Star Trek's classic episode of Amok Time? Well, here's Jim
Carey's skit of trek's famous fight to the death scrap. It's an
epic "Cable Guy" parody really. When you play the clip you'll see the master of
crazy comedy lampooning around as Chip with a terrified Kovac slugging it
out in the arena. Listen out for Carey's improvised "Star Trek" sound
effects which are a total hoot.
"All right you want to play rough? Daddy can play rough." Da-na, na, na, na, na, naaa, na-naa, na, na.
"Like when Spock had to play Kirk on Star Trek, best friends forced to do battle." - Cable Guy.
"Chip this isn't funny, will you stop it!!"
"The name is Spock, if we don't battle to the death, they will kill us both." - Cable Guy.
"This isn't Star Trek" yells Kovac.

Natasha Yar in Naked Now
N is for Naked. In Star Trek TNG's "Naked Now" the USS Enterprise-D crew get infected with a virus from another ship, the Tsiolkovsky. The fun begins when everyone loses their inhibitions, acting real weird when they return from an away mission.
Security Officer, Natash Yar is a real stunner all dolled up and a sight for sore eyes. She sets her sights on Data, seducing the android, adding him to her list of conquests. With a mischievous expression on her face, she corners Data and their eyes light up. The android is baffled but can't help resisting Tasha's advances towards him. Security Officer Tasha is in complete control of the situation.
" Data, You are fully functional aren't you ?"
" I am functional" replies Data
" HOW fully functional ?" demands Yar, smiling eagerly like a hungry little cougar.
" In every way!, I am programmed in multiple techniques." responds Data "
You little Jewel" responds an ecstatic Tasha leading the smiling android away to an adjoining bedroom.
Lucky day for Data? A bird wearing a Starfleet shirt with insignia appears on a computer screen. Could this be the Great Bird of the Galaxy?
Dream Long and prosper, trekkers.

Mind altering Star Trek TOS Bloopers
M is for Makeup Meltdown. William Shatner spent 3 hours in the chair prepping for Star Trek's classic 'Deadly Years.' One day after suffering the exhausting 'aging' makeup process, Shatner arrived at Paramount's Star Trek production set which was closing down. Frustrated heres what he said:
'Bob Justman, I'm going home now. after spending three hours putting this f****** makeup back on.....and its your fault!
Have you seen treks original blooper reel outakes? How would you have reacted? Whos your favorite alien sci-fi creature?
Jump to 3.54 for Shatners reaction.

Locutus of Borg
L is for Locutus of Borg but who is he? In Star Trek TNG's
Best of Both Worlds, Picard's Enterprise-D crew get their
butts kicked in a battle with the big scary Borg. Victorious,
trek's cybernetic baddies beam off the Federation's Galaxy
class fortress with their prized possession, Captain Picard.
How could this be happenning, I hear you ask. Well to be honest, TNG's Best of Both Worlds left many of us
gobsmacked on stardate 44001.4 It was spine chillingly
thrilling watching Picard become Locutus of Borg. However,
many of us still couldn't accept Starfleet's finest diplomat
was now the enemy, a walking and talking Borg.
'I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From now on, you will service us.'
How did you react when Commander Riker gave the order?
'Mr Worf.....fire.'
Live Long and Prosper, Trekkers.

King Abdullah's 'Investigations'
K is for King Abdullah. Star Trek Voyagers 'Investigations' episode is quite the surprise. In 1996, a Jordanian Star Trek fan was but a mere Prince. He landed a non-speaking role in Star Trek Voyager as a Science Officer. When Moral Officer Neelix strikes up a conversation with Harry Kim, Science Officer Abdullah departs the scene rather quickly.
7 years later Jordan's avid Star Trek fan is a King! Apparently he was visiting the States as part of a military delegation and had to stopover in L.A. A friend offered to arrange for the prince to visit Voyagers' film set and try on a uniform.
'Then the next thing, when I actually showed up, they said that if you want, you can stand in. So it wasn't planned, it just turned out that way. I had a great time.'
How cool is this? Are you a fan of Star Trek Voyager? Do you wear costumes to Star trek conventions?

Heroic Captain Kirks Crew Are Hiding!
Heroic Captain Kirk has proven himself on numerous occasions with his ingenious battle strategies. Keeping the power and secrets of the Genesis Torpedo away from Commander Kruges grasp is top priority. He's the perfect mean spirited, vengeful Klingon on a power tripping quest... All our greedy friend has to do now is seize the Enterprise and steal her "secrets." When Kruge sizes up the situation, Captain Kirk cunningly outwits his mortal enemy by setting the USS Enterprise 1701 on self destruct!!! Kruges undefeated reputation is in tatters with his moment of glory backfiring sending him into an unhinged spasm of madness. He has to defeat his elusive opponent. Captain Kirk.
Trouble is, where are Captain Kirks heroic crew?
(Forward to 3.18)
TORG: My lord(Kruge) the ship appears to be deserted. [Enterprise bridge]
KRUGE: How can that be? They're hiding! [Bird-of-Prey bridge]
TORG: Yes sir. But the bridge appears to be run by computer. It is the only thing speaking.[Enterprise bridge]
KRUGE: Speaking? Let me hear. [Bird-of-Prey bridge]
ENTERPRISE COMPUTER VOICE: Nine, ...eight, ...seven, ...six, ...five,... [Enterprise bridge]
KRUGE: Get out! Get out of there! Get out! COMPUTER VOICE: ...one... [Bird-of-Prey bridge]
Live Long and Prosper, Trekkers.

Guinan and Picard?
G is for Guinan but who is she? In Star Trek's TNG
Whoopi Goldberg plays Guinan who runs the USS
Enterprise-D's ten forward lounge. Amazingly she belongs
to a mysterious race of El Aurians that doesn't seem to
age, Guinan is over 500 years old. Captain Picard and
Guinan share a very strong bond, they have a trust and
an unspoken understanding that surpasses normal
friendship and hints in some TNG episodes at possible
intimacy.
She is the only character apart from the omnipotent Q who can challenge Picard's orders and get him to change his mind. Data believes her perception goes beyond linear time, which explains why she knew the timeline was altered in 'Yesterdays Enterprise'A self confessed Star Trek fan and Golden Globe winner to boot, the actress told Gene Roddenberry she wanted a part to play on the show. Whoopi Goldberg has been a Star Trek fan since childhood (her hero was Nichelle Niichols) so her character took off when producers found out she wanted to be part of the series.
What do you think, did Captain Picard and Guinan have a secret love affair?
