To B or not to B-4. Star Trek Nemesis is the big bang for B-4 brother Data. How did you react when Picard materialized on the bridge of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-E only to watch Shinzon's Romulan predator bird of prey burst into flames. Why did Data deactivate his less advanced B-4 brother only for Picard to re-activate?

Hi Trekkers, A is for Allasomorphs but who are they? In keeping with for this years 2021 A to Z challenge lets kick back with some friendly Shapeshifters natives of Daled IV in Star Trek "the Dauphin" episode. These creatures are able to change their molecular structure into other lifeforms. So when Salia and Anya boarded the federations flagship USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D on stardate 42568.8 ..... I guess you might say Worf had his hands full!
Live Long and Allaso-laugh, Trekkers!
Jerry Goldsmith wrote the music soundtrack for Star Trek the Motion Picture which later became the fanfare for Star Trek TNG. 1995 was the year I bought all 178 episodes of Star Trek TNG. Each season was 106 euro which wasn't cheap for me. Today you can buy a used Star Trek TNG Season 1 for £6.49 can you believe that?

I got my "I AM Spock" signed biography from leonard Nimoy that year - yeah I thought things were looking good. I was only 25 ready to explore galaxies. I remember watching Star Treks first movie with friends who loved the special effects, "star trek is cool" overall TMP is a good flick - you'll appreciate the plot is drawn from the slow moving coldness of Space Odyssey and Star Trek Changeling "Nomad" whose primary mission was to scientifically investigate new life forms.

Conversely V'ger programming is also at the heart of TMP plot. Its awesome watching lovely android Ilia makes her grand entrance to save the universe with Decker licking his wounds as the failed rightful Captain of the starship USS Enterprise NCC 1701. Meanwhile Spocks spacewalk mindmeld reveals.....

WHO do you think WON the JACKPOT in Star Trek The Motion Picture?
1. Decker gets Ilia
2. Captain Kirk gets the Enterprise
3. V'ger gets Emotions

Hi Trekkers. To usher in 2021 heres some fun Star Trek The Next Generation blooper reels which should crack you up. These classic TNG recordings are spliced together"out-takes" showing how actors keep it together when they forget their lines, mostly by goofing off. The shows creator Gene Roddenberry even gets in on the act and If you thought Klingons didn't laugh, well guess again.
Patrick Stewart goofs off on camera and utters the order “engage” instead of“energize,” "which is what we say in this room" Picard explains.... causing Frakes, Marina Sirtis and Colm Meaney to laugh.
The crew had long shifts and for Dorn 3.5 hours to create and transform with the Klingon ridge forehead, thankfully for Brent Spiner it took only 75 minutes to put on his metallic android paint he said.
Live Long and Prosper, Trekkers
Merry Christmas Trekkers, I pray everyone is staying safe. Heres my review of Star Trek TNG "Loud as a Whisper" which has a unique form of communication. The Federation is called upon yet again to solve a bitter planetary conflict.

Desperate for salvation planet Solaris V only inhabitants are unable to overpower the freedom fighters. Over the centuries - The gun is no longer fun! Yes, Warring factions call the shots literally determining the rule of law with firepower decide we can't go on murdering each other... Enough!

| USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701-D |
Peace is in the air - when the flagship of the United Federation of Planets arrives with renowned deaf mediator Riva....only an unhappy rebel filled with rage is waiting to deliver the kiss of death.
 |
| Love, Peace, Intellect |
Riva (and his telepathic chorus of three) beam down from the safety of USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D to "speak" eloquently via hand signals conveying Riva's thoughts.
 |
| "Riva!" (Lets get outta here) |
Unfortunately the civil war ceasefire between the two sides was a shotgun marriage. All it took was one Giant Step Forward leaving Riva's fateful communicators - Scholar, Passion and Harmony, true peace keepers disintegrated layer by layer right before our eyes, wisped away by hate gone forever.

| Solaris V Soldiers Riva! We need You! |
Some say the effect of the laser weapon is fascinating 1989 Star Trek TV!
Riker grabbed Riva out of the line of fire. The faction lieutenants delivered swift retaliation execution for the trio meaningless "chorus murders"
Voiceless, feeling alone, deserted, Riva's telepathic friends were not coming back.
Would you return to rebuild the "bridge" between two antagonists filled with loathing and revenge?
Does this type of 1989 CGI shock you?...
How do you suppose did Riva mediate without his telepaths? any ideas?
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Hi Trekkers, I hope everyones keeping well. Here are some jokes I got from Uhura's hailing frequencies for you to enjoy .
What did Datas hand puppet say to Geordi in Star Trek Generations? call me Mr Tricoder!..😁!!!
Uhura: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Captain Kirk: "To boldly go where no chicken had gone before!"
How do you stay warm on a klingon bird of prey?

Engage the cloaking device!
Guess why Capt Picard is such a cool rapper? He follows the rhyme directive.
How many ears does Spock have? Three. Left, Right and the final front ear.
Who's the No1 soccer player on the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D?

Hey Trekkers Spacerguy here. Remember our Borg buddies in 2373 Star Trek First Contact? History records Jean Luc Picard's USS Enterprise NCC 1701-E racing after the Borg Queens time travelling sphere to protect the timeline in the Alpha Quadrant. Pesky Borgs wanted to assimilate earth in the past 2063 so Picard had to act fast.
 |
| USS Enterprise NCC 1701-E |
 |
| The Borg Attack and Launch their Time-Sphere Schuschinus |
 |
| Picard pursues the Time Sphere into the Vortex to stop the damage! thefirstfleet |
The Borg Queen realized after Wolf 359 war with Federation and Worf's tough little ship spelt game over! 40 ships whooped the automatons real good didn't they? lol However a number of drones including the Borg Queen played by Alice Krige didn't give up, remember the Borg don't feel pity, they don't negotiate and will never surrender.
 |
| I am the Borg Queen. You Will Obey Me! scifiman |
 |
| Resist and You WILL be Assimilated! |
The pure magnificence of the Borg's stratagem took us on a joyride because by the time Picard blew the sphere to bits the fun was just beginning. So how did our Borg buddies escape through a temporal vortex and turn earths happy ball of beings into cyborgs?
 |
| STAR TREK, Star Wars or Doctor Who - decide now Trekkers and Trekkies DoctorWhoOne |
 |
| I am Jean Luc Picard how can this be happening to me? |
The USS Enterprise-E crew soon discover Earth assimilation in a past timeline has occurred. Is it too late? Eradicating this point in time is critical! but Picards sovereign class starship is right where the Queens big plan takes shape. Heck even Data joins in the fun and why not eh? When more reinforcements from the Delta Quadrant arrives construction of the Interplexing Beacon hails more Borg buddies from the Delta quadrant, at least thats the idea!
 |
| Captain, I believe I am feeling... anxiety. It is an intriguing sensation |
Borg drone passion for network transwarp conduits and technology took over "Captain Ahab's" ship in the 24th century. Lets face it, Picard wanted revenge, I mean how would you feel about being experimented with cybernetic devices throughout your body and then we have the ultimate showdown between Picard and and Worf on the Enterprise-E bridge.
WORF: With all due respect, sir, ...I believe you are allowing your personal experience with the Borg to influence your judgement. PICARD: You're afraid. You want to destroy the ship and run away. You coward. WORF: If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand.
Long story short trekkers, The Queen hadn't counted on Dr Zefram Cochrane revolutionary space travel with the invention of the warp drive or Mr Worf blowing the Enterprise-E beacon to smithereens!
Is Resistance always futile? Worf stopped himself from killing Picard. Why?
What did Picard say to Mr Worf on the bridge of the Enterprise-E which enraged the Klingon?
1. You're a coward now get off my bridge.
2. Your afraid, you want to destroy the ship and run away, you coward
3. Fight hand to hand but go down with the ship Mr Worf, thats an order!
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, MY TREKKER FRIENDS.
Whats the green cocktail called?
1. SAURIAN BRANDY - Potent liqueur
2. ALDEBARIAN WHISKEY - Alcoholic beverage of considerable potency
3. KLINGON BLOOD WINE - Packs quite the punch
Live Long and prosper, trekkers.
Hi Trekkers Spacerguy here. Steve Schnier stopped by not too long ago who I totally believe has earned his place in Star Trek and Sci-Fi history. I figured his Enterprise capers might cheer lots of us up so enjoy the fun. 55 years on, Earth still hasn't built a real starship USS Enterprise NCC 1701 to boldly explore and chart the galactic regions of outer space, shocking isn't it? but have I news for you... 😁
No Enterprise and its a real tragic reality, lol... except that is until now. Imagine my surprise what Steve and his wife did in 2013. Their "Enterprise" launch in Canada and filmed on youtube for posterity is magnificent! Not to be missed, we see the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 stellar ascend into the skies as the starship navigates easily soaring on her maiden flight with little turbulence thanks to Scotty in the engine room.
The good news is readings indicate that the ship may have reached or crossed the 100KM boundary Kármán line which is so cool.
In hindsight I realise now "The U.S.S. Enterprise in Space" is such a sweet moment in Star Trek history and I was a tad tardy reporting this fascinating news, so I beg forgiveness readers. Picard would say it was "the burdens of command" (hangs head down in shame.) 😑but the show must go on! 😁
Star Trek is always exploring the outer limits which began aboard Captain James T Kirk's classic USS Enterprise NCC 1701 in 1966 (prequels and sequels aside) but this is for real!. Anyway, all joking aside heres what Steve said on Wednesday, May 08, 2013
Hello! Nice blog by the way.
My name is Steve Schnier. Just a note to let you know that my wife and I sent a model of STAR TREK’s U.S.S. Enterprise into near-space via weather balloon. The payload reached a height of 95,568’ and hit a top speed of 63 knots or 117 km/hr.
The model was launched from Stayner, Ontario (90 minutes North of Toronto) and was recovered from a remote island in Georgian Bay. It was supposed to travel South towards Toronto - but I miscalculated and it went due North. I should have paid more attention in Math Class.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER MY TREKKER FRIENDS -
Enjoy the Enterprise in Space
