Favorite edition of the Star Trek series

[Haunted hearse]

The original series
The even numbered movies (1-6)
The animated series.
Next Generation had it's moments.  What I don't understand is how Prof. Xavier had the time to both run the Enterprise and his school for gifted youngsters.  Maybe they took place in different time lines.

I enjoyed Voyager and also liked DS9 and TNG.

No he captained the Enterprise several centuries after his mutant school. Don't worry he had time for both

I'm gonna have to check out the animated series. Probably haven't seen half of them and forgot those I saw a long time ago...

Gotta love Netflix!

Next Generation has always been my fave.

I watched it excitedly from the first episode airing and followed it all the way through.
Just something about they way they captured the character of human nature just always caught my fancy.  Data was my favorite character, of course.

Egads, I remember the outrage and moral shock when they killed of Tasha Yar. Back then, major cast members just weren't killed off.  Good times. 



on a different note..... KHHHHAAAAAAAANNNN!!!

[Most Horrible]

The one and only  STAR TREK. - Grups, "he's dead, Jim", "fascinating", Harry Mudd, tribbles, we eb plebnista (We the People...), thank you Mr. Roddenberry!!
TNG - Very cushy luxury ship...Hilton in Space, Prime Directive my foot, where's the conflict but still enjoyed it, Borgs taking Picard...finally conflict!, hated I, Pugh, loved Data as Holmes, Yar never should have left, happy Weasley left, Fave line: Worf - Prune juice! Ah warrior's drink!
DS9 - eh
Voyager  - lacking
Enterprise - did not bother

ST: Voyage Home - because it was filmed in the Bay Area and the Monterey Bay Aquarium! I was at a SF Con when they talked about coming to SF the following year to film the movie. The audience wanted to know where they were going to film, i.e. Chinatown, etc. Oh what a geekfest that day was!
ST: In Search of Spock
ST: Undiscovered Country - Klingons changed their appearance

Hi everyone!

It just occurred to me that I forgot to share an amazing Season Three update with you all, regarding the pic that I use for my profile icon here!

As you may remember, Paramount+ made a three-season sequel series to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" called "Star Trek: Picard". Thanks to "Picard" Production Designer, Dave Blass, who had asked about a year earlier (on then-Twitter), for Star Trek fans to send him images of themselves in Star Trek cosplay for a secret reason that he was unable to explain. Thus, I had to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements and say nothing until the episodes aired! But where would my pics be visible? Would I be left on the cutting room floor?

I sent in a digital pic of me, taken in 1980(!), from the first time I ever tested blue pancake makeup on myself, and with the borrowed wig and attached blue antennae that I had made from papier-mâché.

As publicity started to hot up for Season Two's premiere, it became obvious that both of my pics were visible in the publicity stills taken on the set Guinan's 10 Forward Avenue bar on Earth. The single pic had even been placed in a little wooden frame! I have since found one here that was almost the same, so I have mocked up a copy of the one from the set.

I had also sent in a scan of my first ever attempt at Photoshop, in which I had combined pics of me as Therin the Andorian (from 1984) and Grol the Tellarite (from 1983). Due to a followup email with the production people, I assumed that this pic wasn't actually going to be used, but it is there, in several places, one just above the framed one of Therin! Even the Therin shot can be found several other places on the set, including as little faux Polaroids.

Week after week, for nine episodes, though, I searched in vain. Then, in the finale (tenth episode) of "Star Trek: Picard" Season 2, Therin of Andor himself finally made his (still blurry) onscreen appearance when the main characters gather in the bar:

A friend with keen eyes spotted a second (tiny) version of the Therin/Grol pic in the season finale, sharing the same scene with Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan. He even marked the position in red and added an enlargement into the frame grab for me:

But, another whole year later, there is more news! Season Three started streaming and my framed Therin pic was actually getting more blurry coverage in several more episodes. First, this happened!:

And finally here,  in "No Win Scenario" (Episode #4), actor Ed Speleers actually tells an anecdote about an Andorian, while I hung on the wall behind him!

I have been in Trek fandom since 1979 - and now two of my fan characters are "canon"!

Very cool to have your pics on the ST set! I do remember you posting about this (with illus.), before, but I don't recall which thread.

Thanks!

I can't get anything to pop up in "Search" on this site. Maybe you saw my post on TrekBBS?

And that post is less than eighteen months old! Maybe Andorians have short memories?
