About The Author
No mention of Comic Con at all? I know it’s not Trek specific,but neither are a lot of the cons mentioned. There are always various Trek actors at Comic Con,and it IS one of the biggest cons out there. It’s from Jluy 8th-12th,in case anyone’s wondering.
Why should it be mentioned?. It’s been sold out for months and everyone’s heard of it…!
Well,I was under the impression that cons with Trek guests is the purpose of this list. Guess I was wrong. My bad. And yes,tickets are sold out,but there are always ways.
That’s quite possible. Anyway, funnily enough was watching Original Series yesterday and it was basically the episode the latest JJ Abrams movie was based on. I hadn’t realised quite how much duplication there’d been over the years…
Oh lots of duplication. Have to admit,I actually liked the two new movies. But I lke most of the old ones as well. lol. Still hoping for a new tv series though. Maybe some day.
Interesting idea but where do you suggest they take it…? I’m also a fan of the abrams reboot as well.
Further in to the future,aboard Enterprise J. I’d watch that,lol. Or continue in the rebooted universe. I’d watch that too.
Interesting idea as it reinvents the timeline. So sounds good but who would they get to play them as I doubt they’d do TV? On that note, ‘cept going backwards, what did you think of the Bakula series?
Oh it’d be totally different actors,again,lol. Hmmm.let’s see. My fave Trek shows in order I think might be: TOS,STE,TNG,VOY,and DSN. I like the animated series as well,but I keep it seperate,lol. And yours?
Interesting. Not really being a die hard trekkie find that it’s a case of each episode on its own merits since every series has its good points except for Voyager which I found a bit annoying. I’ve only recently come across a couple of other spin offs: the Sarah Connor Chronicles & Highlander….
Being a casual Trekker myself,I agree. All the series have good and really bad episodes. I like a lot of other shows as well,spin offs or not,lol. Old stuff,new stuff,as long as it’s fun and/or interesting.
It was tweeted today that Karl wouldn’t b at the Chicago Trek con next weekend due to filming conflict.
