We take you to breaking news, live footage of the inside of my head… While none of these are specifically labeled as GNDN pipes, these are absolutely GNDN pipes. GNDN was a Star Trek: The Next Generation acronym/in-joke, GNDN meaning “Goes Nowhere Does Nothing.” And it’s entirely appropriate for today, as it was on thisContinue reading “Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing”

There’s a TARDIS in My Star Trek!
This week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “The Sehlat Who Ate His Tail,” had a special guest star. No, not Paul Wesley as James Tiberius Kirk. The special guest star was the TARDIS from Doctor Who! It appeared in some FX shots. I circled it in the screencap image above. Maybe at someContinue reading “There’s a TARDIS in My Star Trek!”
The Klingon Incursion of Stardate 3100.0
Captain Log, Stardate 3100.0. Urgent dispatch from Admiral Stephen Turner at Starfleet Command. Ten Klingon warships, under the command of Fleet Captain Kron have invaded Federation space, threatening the Core Worlds, even Earth itself. The Enterprise is breaking off from our survey mission in sector Deneb IV. I did not have high hopes for thisContinue reading “The Klingon Incursion of Stardate 3100.0”
Saving the Galaxy, One Quadrant and Sector at a Time
For a certain type Star Trek fan, this is the coolest thing ever — Emanuele Bolognesi has taken the original, classic 1970s quadrant-sector Super Star Trek computer game and melded it with the interface of Interplay’s Star Trek 25th-Anniversary, resulting in the perfect marriage of gameplay and aesthetics. I discovered it last night, through anContinue reading “Saving the Galaxy, One Quadrant and Sector at a Time”
The Mysterious Shapeshifting USS Surak
If you were to ask a Star Trek fan on the street, “What happened between Star Trek III and Star Trek IV?” you would almost certainly be told, “Not much of anything. Kirk and crew spent their time on Vulcan after Spock’s resurrection on the Genesis Planet.” But a knowledgeable fan will tell you somethingContinue reading “The Mysterious Shapeshifting USS Surak”
Where No Bounty Hunter Has Gone Before
I saw this on Facebook this afternoon. Star Trek. Boba Fett. Star Trek: Boba Fett. Let’s interrogate this. A typo, obviously. But! Imagine for a moment. Boba Fett, the galaxy far, far away’s greatest bounty hunter, tossed through time and space into the 24th-century where he has to do what he does best to survive,Continue reading “Where No Bounty Hunter Has Gone Before”
Travels with Murf
Yesterday, I noticed an odd character popping up in my friends’ social media posts. There was this… Followed by this… Not to mention this… Then this… And this… Then I went through some old photographs on my hard drive, and I found this from 1919… This from later in the 1920s… And even this, whenContinue reading “Travels with Murf”
Remaking an Ebook Cover
When I was in college, I read Jean Airey’s legendary novella, The Doctor and the Enterprise. Written in the 1970s, it was a crossover between Star Trek (near the end of the Five Year Mission) and Doctor Who (between “The Deadly Assassin” and “The Face of Evil”). The text had been uploaded by Airey toContinue reading “Remaking an Ebook Cover”
The Mutara Nebula
Based upon the sky at sunset, Earth’s orbit is taking us through the Mutara Nebula. Witness it now, for in three centuries a protomatter accident will destroy it.
Two New Star Trek Trailers
Over the weekend at San Diego Comic Con, two new Star Trek trailers debuted. While I’ve worked in the comics industry for over twelve years, I’ve not had the pleasure — or misfortune — of attending San Diego. First up, the trailer for Star Trek: Picard, the CBS All Access series about Jean-Luc Picard, withContinue reading “Two New Star Trek Trailers”
