It comes with the powers.

My dream: to be that person who gets to yell “It’s Morphin time!” and save the day.

Are you referencing Parks and Recreation?

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.

If only I had a transporter available.

I was coming from Riverside County.

You mean INTakes from Ryan’s Edits? He takes scenes any replaces parts with a blooper of that scene.

That channel did it for the entire franchise, not just TNG, but I assume TNG has the most bloopers available.

🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 mile drive.

I mean, Raffi lived here. Memory Alpha says the appearances in PIC are Vasquez Rocks, not a differently named location.

I think it is just meant to be silly.

I just realized this might be the same plaque that was from the set.

 

The way The Doctor is able to change appearance so quickly, jump through glass panes and that hallway wall running, scream Matrix to me.

 

Biggest take away: Wang was cast in Picard season 3, promoted to admiral, and over time cut out before production.

 
 
 

Hi there. I just wanted to discuss something positive and uplifting. As we surely all know, Star Trek has a very big fandom that is super inclusive and positive (for the most part). Had a thought that for many fans, their passion is life-long. Maybe it would be nice to share a positive memory (maybe a few) you associate with Trek; whatever you are comfortable sharing. I kick it off (my list is chronological).

  1. Getting to go on The Klingon Encounter at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a family trip, I was seven (I recently found out I was off by year) in 1998. My grandfather was working at the time for a Chinese apparel brand. He took us to an industry convention he was attending for work. So my mom took me to the Hilton. There was walls of Borg statues, actors dressed as Klingons walking the casino. Only got to go on The Klingon Encounter, a Star Tours style ride. The premise is an entertainment experience with live actors which you are mysteriously transported to the future where you switch places with Picard. Klingons are behind it. They believe your group has an ancestor among you. You head to a transporter to escape to a shuttlecraft, and flee the Klingons. The chase eventually leads you over The Las Vegas Strip. The ride also included pre-recorded video from TNG cast as part of the story.

  2. Watching ENT when it first broadcast. I was ten years old. As an aside, I’ve always lived with my maternal grandparents. Anyways, my grandfather was excited for it. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch with him. It was the first series (pretty much the only from start to end) I watched first broadcast. Watched every episode with him.

  3. Finally going to my first convention, STLV (formerly Star Trek Las Vegas) this year. Such an incredible four days that I can never forget. Getting to see the community up close changes how important this means. Everyone was such wonderful people. The one public event I’ve attended in my life where I felt truly accepted and safe.

 
 

Did writers forget about “Barge of the Dead” in season 7? During “Imperfection”, Seven ask B’Elanna if she believes in afterlife. Her response is ‘I hope so.

She literally went to hell and back. How does that not make her believe in it?
