Introduction

The Enterprise is investigating strange energy signals when a Klingon ship uncloaks in front of her. On board is K'Ehleyr, now Federation Ambassador to the Empire, and Chancellor K'mpec himself. K'mpec is dying and has chosen Picard to mediate the succession of power. Complicating matters for both Worf and the Federation, one of the main contenders in Duras. Knowing what he is capable of, can Picard walk the tightrope between his duty as a Federation captain and Arbiter of Succession? And what will the Enterprise's latest foray into Klingon politics cost Worf?

Honey, I swear it wasn't me. Go talk to those numskulls Berman and Braga.

A whole new way to show your love...

If you look at the bottom of the post, you'll see a whole new array of pretty little buttons. You can now like or share or +1 individual posts. +1'ing a post will help it show up in search results, and let us know we're doing a good job. Our dream is to one day become so popular that CBS gives us creative control over Star Trek, and each +1 on Google+ will bring an incremental step closer to that goal. We appreciate your help and will not forget you when we rule Trekdom with a firm, but benevolent hand. :)

Introduction


The Enterprise responds to a distress call from a Federation freighter. It is in trouble, breaking up over the Turkana IV colony - a chaotic war-zone that seceded from the Federation decades ago. Upon crash-landing, the freighter crew survivors are taken hostage by one of the warring factions. Things are complicated further by the revelation that the late Tasha Yar's sister still lives on the colony, and apparently wants to help the Enterprise rescue the hostages. Can they trust her?

This will spell the end of my Starfleet career.

Netflix just added my smartphone, along with about 16 others, to the list of mobile devices that will work with the Netflix Instant Play app. I can now pretty much watch Star Trek anytime, anywhere I want and the picture quality is surprisingly good. I will now never do productive work of any kind again.

You can see if your Android mobile device is on the list here, and of course, there's the iPhone/Pad app for that. Download it today. Resistance, as always, is futile.

Introduction

Doctor Crusher is expecting an old friend and colleague on board the Enterprise, however, when she goes to meet him, his guest quarters are empty. Even more strange, the Enterprise has no record of him coming aboard, and stranger still, Starfleet has no record he even exists. Slowly, more and more people begin to disappear aboard the Enterprise, but only Doctor Crusher seems to remember they ever existed. Is there a sinister force at work or is Doctor Crusher simply losing her mind?

Crap... how do you drive this thing again?

Last chance to see Nimoy at a convention :(

According to an email I got from Creation Entertainment, Leonard Nimoy is only doing two more cons before retiring from conventions--the big Vegas one in August and Chicago in October.

 

Sadly, I can't commit to a convention the weekend after my due date, even if it is a mere 25 miles from my house. Too bad the convention's not a month or two late because how cute would it be to get a picture of Nimoy with the kid wearing this?

 

But anyone who can do so should definitely go see Nimoy in Vegas or Chicago!

The Most Toys Pt. 2

If anyone is looking to get a jump on my birthday present, have I got the website for you!

It's three feet long and a foot high, it costs $5,000, those close ups are interior details on the lounge and shuttle bay, and they are only making 250. Get cracking, internet. It will sit in my house next to my original Van Gogh and Mickey Mantle rookie card. The only thing that could make me more nerd happy is if they were to do a Enterprise-D model with the same scale and quality. ***sigh***

And the newest Trekkie will be...

We had our baby shower with my family in Ohio this past weekend, and my mom managed a very geeky (and yummy!) reveal of the baby's sex. 

We're still struggling with names, so give us your best Trekkie name suggestions!

Introduction

The Enterprise comes across the damaged craft of a former enemy, the Talarians. When they rescue the crew, they find a group of juveniles, including a human boy, Jono. When they investigate further, it turns out that he is the grandson of a powerful Starfleet admiral. Their plans to repatriate him hit a snag, though, when he demands to be returned to his adopted Talarian father, Endar. Whose wishes will be respected, and is Jono old enough to decide for himself?

Wesley receives a facial from Jono.

Introduction

The Enterprise is racing to Starbase 416 to seek emergency medical treatment for a young boy on board. Dr. Crusher is optimistic that the boy will recover with treatment, but time is of the essence. Complicating matters, Data mysteriously commandeers the Enterprise and redirects it to a planet far off course from the Starbase. Once there, he beams down to an isolated outpost in a dense jungle. Why has Data done this? Will the crew of the Enterprise be able to regain control of the ship and save their young patient?

In his final malicious act of sabotage, Data changes Captain Picard's email password.
