After 20 years, “Tribble-ations” is still Trek‘s best fan film
November 4th is not only the day to say “Happy Will Rogers Birthday!”—yes, there is a physical as well as a philosophical link there—but this year it’s the 20th anniversary of DS9‘s delightfully and awesomely monument anniversary homage show, “Trials and Tribble-ations.” Now this is a valentine to fans. I mean, it’s pro-Trek’s own fan film, is what it is. …
Portal 47 Hosts Trek’s First Director in a Virtual “Open House”
My baby is one year old! Portal 47, the monthly insider deep-dive to more in-depth Trek, was launched a year ago this month—and we had a party to celebrate!

A rare political move: Trek Against Trump takes a stand
Well, this is unprecedented. Nearly 100 names and faces who brought Gene Roddenberry’s hopeful, future universe to life over five decades are diving into Campaign 2016 with “Trek Against Trump.” From the original series right through to the Kelvin timeline films and even Discovery—before and behind the camera alike, and alongside too.

My stardate birthdate: Have I always been destined — or doomed?
While hip-deep in the Secret Star Trek Non-Fiction Project TBA —you know, the thing that’s been keeping me from posting video and blog pieces the last two months* — I’m having to grab some stardates matched to actual calendar days of the year. And naturally, my original Mike Okuda stardate memo for the VGR/DS9 writers (above) came in handy once …
25-candle time: My own birth certificate for TNG
So much has been said about The Next Generation—a lot of it by me in blogs, like this … and oh yeah, this thing.
