Nichelle Nichols has died on 30th July 2022

 Legend in her own lifetime R.I.P. Nichelle Nichols has died on the 30th July 2022: Trailblazing' actress who played the friendly Lt Uhura in Star Trek as our beloved Communications Officer aboard the USS Enterprise NCC 1701. She was 89. Nichelle Nichols broke barriers for black women in Hollywood like Whoopi Goldberg and got involved with the Space Programme NASA recruiting folks who weren't just white men but people of colour boldly recruiting  from  where no-one came before. 

The youngest and third woman into space was Sally Ride. Guy Bluford was part of the original Mercury Seven. Not to mention former cosmonaut and the first person of African heritage into space in 1980, Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez - They have all become famous astronauts. Nichelle was the kind of person who could get out there and inspire imaginations. "Hailing Frequencies Open Captain" It was Martin Luther King (fan of Star Trek) who said 'You Have Been Chosen'

STAR TREK - THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM

Hi Trekkers, I've been watching Star Trek TNG again which makes this the 3rd time! round the United Federation of Planets again. 😁

In episode 121, THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM, The USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D is following up on clues which eventually lead to a technologically advanced world called Minos. The mystery is... what happened to everybody on the planet?

  When Picard and co are greeted by holograms, The 607 salesman seen here is automatically activated and so full of his "extra firepower, complete weapons systems" talk, you'd never guess this technological defence wizard killed everyone on the planet including his creators.  

607 SALESMAN

 So when the Enterprise-D away team beam down, Riker is greeted by a techno knock off imitating his friend Paul Rice in the jungle who is in fact..... one of the planets deadly weapon systems. So can this possibly get any worse? Well yes it does for starters Riker gets snared in a techno bubble trapping him. This meant the Captain had to beam down leaving Geordi in charge of the Enterprise-D.

AND OR CBS 

PAUL RICE

 Meanwhile killer drones swoop in for the kill and attack.  QUESTION: Why is sophisticated technical equipment still functioning on a planet devoid of life? We soon learn from the proud Echo Pappa Series 607 Salesman!

DR BEVERLY CRUSHER STUMBLED GRASPING PICARD

ECHO PAPA 607 SERIES

 Crusher is hurt by her fall into the Cavern, Meanwhile killer defence technology is still analysing Riker, Data and Tasha for humanoid target practise so it can construct stronger deadlier weapons! Now that only happens in Star Trek!

WHY NOT? ITS A MACHINE ISN'T IT?

Why the doctor and Captain beam down is a mystery, after plunging 50 feet into a Cavern, poor Beverly struggles for her dear life. Its cool when Picard asks for options and Beverly beats Data with the answer!

PICARD: Give me some options, Data, quickly.

CRUSHER: Why don't you just shut it off?

PICARD: Is that possible?

CRUSHER: Why not? It's a machine, isn't it?

PICARD: Shut it off.

SALESMAN: Why? You haven't seen half of what this beauty can do.

PICARD: We've seen enough.

SALESMAN: Does that mean you're going to buy it?

PICARD: Yes. Yes, we've seen enough. You've made a sale.

SALESMAN: You won't be sorry.

  Meanwhile Laforge is in starship command faced with a huge challenge, as the planet soon begins attacking the ship as well!!!!!

MINOS DRONES TARGETING USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701-D FOR TERMINATION 

 Basically it's a tale of survival as well as of growth for Laforge. Very simple, very direct and yet very enjoyable. Worth watching. So whose side were you rooting for? -  

1. USS Enterprise-D "beam down" away-team or 

2. Minos search and destroy superior firepower drones?

Question: What did Picard do to save everyone from extermination?

Live Long and Prosper, Trekkers

STAR TREK PICARD - GUINAN IS BACK

Whoopi Goldberg (Oscar and Golden Globe Winner) aka Guinan aboard the starship USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D in Star Trek the Next Generation is back. Thats right. Goldberg who has massive fans across the world and her awards speak for themselves was invited by Patrick Stewart himself onto the new Star Trek series.

PICARD AND GUINAN 
PATRICK STEWART AND WHOOPI GOLDBERG

"Guinan" stars in Star Trek Picard opposite the character Picard "your answers are not in the stars and they never have been" which adds spiritual realism boldly going where no-one has gone before on two levels. 1) Goldberg appeared 29 times already in Star Trek TNG as Guinan centuries older and wise beyond her years. She looks great for 100 in Times Arrow 2) now here she is again with the "Picard" 400 years younger but in a different timeline.

2024 400 YEARS EARLIER GUINAN
IDO AGHAVERE

  Ido Aghayere steps into the role as Jean Luc's "oldest friend" Guinan in season 2 episode 4 in "Watcher"  She plays the divergence 2024 version of Guinan in a  timeline trekkers won't remember because the "new Guinan" timeline  hasn't occurred. The reason we know this to be true is Q (John De Lancie) has been messing around with time again up to his old tricks again!. So instead of the United Federation of Planets we see a divergence and Confederation of Planets!

Guinan has had dealings with Q and the Continuum. Why is  Q afraid of her?

   i just went to the local comic book store where they have a collection of toys.. they had the galoob's 1988 star trek next gen figures... for like four bucks each. i almost got a few, but i had no money... but the original [more recent] classic set of the bridge that includes figures... was worth half, i think it is time to play with my set. warp speed mr. sulu... you play the theme in your head, like i am.
   
   damn you economy!

   I love these retro toys especially the ships! I've warped around the galaxy with them too, hehe. Its really tough cheese missing the Galoob bargains, Jeremy. These retro toys are sooo cool 'cos well when TNG got huge we were big kids, so the toys took off ahead warp fact 9, hehe.
   
   I suppose the nerd in me loved building and painting AMT's model ships too, (the ones with really cool sound effects and flashing lights) but you couldn't really play with those. My Enterprise is on the shelf crying out for me. It was more fun being the engineer and putting her together. I thought all the instructions and wiring would melt my head but instead I got off building USS Enterprise NCC 1701 and it taught me something. Perservere to the end. It was really worth it. Scotty would have been proud. I felt like an accomplished Starfleet engineer, just kidding but you know what I mean.

   Who’s the absolute most terrible, awful blogger on the planet? Me!!! :-o
   
   My sincere apologies for taking so long to get over here, Spacerguy. Would you believe me if I told you the transporter malfunctioned and sent me to another far off galaxy and it’s taken me this long to get back? No...I didn’t think so.
   
   I’m running so far behind on everything, including commenting on blogs, it’s ridiculous. I truly am so pleased and honored that you thought of me (because I love your blog & I love Star Trek) and hope you’ll forgive my inexcusable tardiness. (Congrats on your awards!)

STAR TREK TNG 'THE PRICE'

Hi Trekkers, Star Trek TNG episode "The price" is hosting a bunch of dignitaries aboard the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D. Its interesting to discover who has their eyes on the Barzan wormhole. Smooth talking Betazoid negotiator Rals shenanigans with Deanna Troi's was just sheer co-incidence right? I don't think so. I mean it can't be easy being the Enterprise-D counsellor. 

Image Owner Creator:  Paramount Pictures and or CBS Studios

So with the Barzans gathered and the greedy Ferengis around who slings his hook into Deanna? Ral. His plan (being an empath himself) was to sway the bidders emotions like he was doing with Deanna. 

Meanwhile Geordi La Forge and Data  find out the "wormhole shortcut" joining the Gamma Quadrant and the delta Quadrant together isn't so stable. Would have been real neat too. A cool 200 light years shaved off starship spaceflight if the wormhole hadn't been rife with subatomic fluctuations. Yup, it was a dud. Only the Ferengi found out too late! 

 Something very strange is happening to this wormhole

 

William Shatner Friend and Defender of Earth Boldly goes where no Blue Orgin has gone Before

Merry Christmas Trekkers and to usher in 2022 heres some Bezos and Shatner Blue Origin fanfare with their rocket shooting off into space. You'll remember the legendary captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise 1701 from Star Trek the Classic Series? Well here he is....

These are our friends, our defenders and our protectors of the United Federation of Earth. Well, good as - apparently William Shatner has gone up into Space big time Trekkers for real, (only Joan Collins is not in agreement! )😁 one to beam up Scotty! 

Without hope what have we got?  I'm going up into Space, How many people can say that? Jeff Bezos Concept to make living and pollution a thing of the past.

“I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened,” the screen legend said. “It’s extraordinary. I hope I never recover from this. I hope I can maintain what I feel now.”

What do you think? Are you for or against Space exploration?

Merry Christmas Trekkers!
