UPDATE: “The Brightest Star” is beautiful, an old-school planetary culture exploration disguised as some well-received background on both Saru and his Kelpian people, well-timed in the Prime timeline … while at the same time, raising a host of new questions. It’s bizarrely and freshly off-kilter as to the “predators” of the famously “prey” Kelpians, and exactly who and how the …
(UDPATE: Due to email tech issues, deal cut-off is now #ExtensionWednesday /28th, midnight local time! ) Treksters, you know how proud and excited I am to keep building Portal 47, my project for Trekland past, present and future. So, what kind of a new, crazy idea can I hatch for Cyber Monday that will grab both your attention and your …
At LAST I can talk about it! (See schedule UPDATE below) As announced by Showmasters/DST, I will indeed be back across the pond with all our UK Treklanders for Destination Star Trek— and my first time in Birmingham! MY SCHEDULE IN BRIEF: THURSDAY — 9-11 pm, Hilton Metropole Bar: DST version of The Landing Party , hosting this team …
But hurry: The online pre-order special ends soon! Yes, it’s an all-NEW update of the showy Star Trek: Stellar Cartography wall maps and book set — coming Oct. 9 with TEN large 2-D maps from various Trek eras and cultures and a guidebook. The itch that first got me into Star Trek backgrounding is back again, courtesy of the good …
Well, HERE’S something new in the Trekland galaxy for me: Being a guest at a community festival — its FIRST guest. And my first-ever trek to Wisconsin, to boot! But not just any festival— one of the Top Five Funkiest Festivals in the U.S., according to Readers Digest! I mean, come on— what else could Sputnikfest be? Sure, this …
Wow! #STLV is here again — and beyond the 50th in 2016, and then Discovery’s sneak peek last year…the 2018 edition might just be the biggest ever ! At least for me, everything Trekland will be on display. First of all, CBS has graciously got me back on stage to talk about the NEW Star Trek: Stellar Cartography map/book set …
Hey, it’s #SDCC time again… and Trekland will be there in 2018 in ever-more ways. If you are lucky enough (or crazed enough ) to find yourself around the Gaslamp area (or even just around the fringes), come look me up! I’ll be leading, covering, or taking part in a flurry of Trek-related stuff at Comic-Con … from my The …
Of COURSE this news breaks as I am packing for SoonerCon, and doing a Portal 47 guest show on the road… but I have a word or two (below). But between last week’s showrunner firing on Discovery and Alex Kurtzman’s new deal in takign solo control of DSC, with sources running amok with unconfirmed but plentiful stories about new Trek …
If it’s June, as I have been lucky enough to be honored, it must be time for my annual trek back “home-home” to OKC and the ever-growin’ SoonerCon 27, con of my birth and site of my hosting-guesting roots. (Including my emcee of the 3rd annual “SoonerCon@Midnight: Worst Book Ever” author-audience spectacle!) Plus: this year, a good ol’ Portal 47 …
I mean, really. I find Trek peeps at a Who con every year … why not Joss Whedon’s fandom? So yeah— look for a little Star Trek in the ‘Verse this Saturday! It’s a Trek oasis at fan-run WhedonCon. Will anybody need a drink? I came across WhedonCon’s open-ended focus beyond its namesake thanks to my friend and The Con …
Once again, Portal 47 is going to crank open the hangar bay doors and share our monthly guest Telebriefing experience highlight with everybody who wants to come —this time, with the incredible Oscar- and Emmies-winning makeup legend Michael Westmore. The free, global and virtual event is Wednesday, May 16 from 7-8 pm Pacific — a mix of interview chat from …
I’ve been talking here and there around the Interwebs lately of my big mission this year: To find and talk with new fans who came to the Trek family via Discovery only—Discovery First Fans! —without bridging over or carrying baggage from any prior Trek.* And my first chance is Anaheim’s WonderCon, the “little brother” to sprawling San Diego Comic-Con. —At …
All right— I admit it. I’ve been doing so much talking lately out loud that my blogging and word-bits have fallen off. And that little Discovery finale hoopla kinda took up a lot of bandwidth this week to start. But I really, really hope you ALL get a load of what we found in Gene’s archives for the fourth episode …
Break out the silver-pressed latinum! It’s the 25th anniversary of Deep Space Nine—the original “darker and grittier” Star Trek. You’ll all be wading through accolades all day and all week about this time from 1993, I know. And as always, I might even point out its anniversary as June 29, 1992, the date of its first writer’s guide, or even …
Just a short video note, as you scamper off to your New Year’s Eve shenanigans, in case you missed it on Trekland Facebook. (UPDATE: For busy regular Trekland viewers and readers just back on the grid, the Portal 47 offer I mentioned has been pushed back to midnight FRIDAY, Jan. 5.) It’s exciting times in Trek again, a crossroads of …
So, it’s been 50 years since “The Trouble With Tribbles” first purred and multiplied their way across a TV screen—and no, I was not there to see it.* I was a rerun baby, remember? It’s remarkable as an outing of original Trek, or any entry of the successors, to show how Star Trek’s classic crew-and-mission format could do comedy (as …
I almost forgot to spread the word to get this up in time! Tuesday, Dec. 19 IS the mail deadline for Christmas delivery— if you care about that—for the Beam-In Bonus for Portal 47. If you missed the Cyber Monday special, no worries— this is sweeter with a piece from Gene, and a chance at a DVD set! Apart from …
So, my emergency computer reshuffle over Thanksgiving (how was your holiday?) delayed all the grand plans I had for Cyber Monday this year in Portal 47. I mean, what better day for offering extras to join something like our high-tech Trek mini-con all year long? In truth, I only have a big enrollment push around our Anniversary Open House tie …
Salt Lake Comic Con has become one of my favorites the past few years— laid-back, accessible, and very friendly to me and all things Trekland, as well as Trek! The Trek fan community via all the ship crews of the Seventh Fleet is so huge and welcoming —and this year is no exception. I’m exciting to both be bringing the …
You may have noticed a lot fewer blog posts here recently—but no, I’m hardly giving it up. The blog is still a good way to keep you up on what Star Trek projects I’m doing or where I’ll be… even though other events do get intrusive, and distractions pull me away. But to fight that time crunch more efficiently and …
Save the date, SoCal Trekland: I am so excited for our first Trekland/Portal 47 production! THIS SUNDAY at 6 pm in Los Feliz, I get to present an unheralded witness to little-known Desilu Trek and ’60s history— live, and partnered with an incredibly talented pro Trek improv troupe… with hosted after-show meet-n-greet photo opps! But hurry—it’s only 45 seats (see …
Yes, it’s Trek Vegas time baby — #STLV is here. Here FINALLY is my schedule and events —in many ways, it’s an evolving vibe for me! (Amd LONG!) And to be honest, I’d been concerned about that “hangover” after last year’s Five-O Fever … but the past few weeks my spirits have way picked up because: — WHAM, the big-time …
Can’t believe I haven’t posted here yet about my newest “little” channel, Trekland Tuesdays LIVE. Each week at 1 pm Pacific/4 pm Eastern / 9 pm UK time at Larry Nemecek’s Trekland on Facebook, I’m now bringing out a little more “face to face” commentary, as it were. This week’s piece was my angle on the echoes of recent Trek …
UPDATE! Now with SDCC app links… NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT coming… CBS #DSC events update … a new Facebook fan page for Trekkers bound for SDCC … AND BONUS club meetup for new Portal 47 signees! Hey! Here’s my San Diego Comic-Con plans! Can it be a year since the biggest Trek footprint at SDCC in history? Wow. Well, CBS has …
NOW look what just popped up on Amazon today… Just a couple months after it went on seemingly permanent markdown, to which many of you were alerted and responded … today my “Star Trek: Stellar Cartography” from 47 North/Amazon turned up like a Gutenberg Bible knockoff. Under USED prices: The “New” listing” is all over the place, but apparently not …
My how time flies. My buddy and On Speaker collaborator Chris Jones, the founder/head honcho of the incredible Trek.fm podcast network, first snagged me to join him back in 2011 on Episode TWO of The Ready Room, his flagship show on the network. Apparently I’ve now done a total of 56 more across the network since then— over two …
Hey, it’s Dec. 31—looking to help out a 501(c)3, save on your taxes, and help the future too? Well, Enterprise in Space is a perfect match! I haven’t talked about EIS here in a long time, but the program to put 100+ student STEAM projects aboard a custom-designed orbiter in 2021 is simply booming, including the addition of over a …
Who needs Cyber Monday? My new site just went online, but it’s still a few days til Christmas and there’s plenty of time to offer some help with a range of unique TREKLAND gift items for everybody like-minded on your list! And some bonus specials, too… Hey, I know there’s been an incredible raft of great Trek items this 50th …
“30 At 50” is the latest edition of Trekland: On Speaker—in a doubly special way for Trek’s 50th anniversary. And now that the new website is here, I can finally offer it to everybody worldwide again! UPDATE 12/15/16: For a holiday special on this and other Trekland gift ideas, check here.) Veteran Treklanders know I’ve brought out a new …
Once upon a time, the world changed. Internets rose, Big Boxes fell. “Get yourself a blog and your own website,” they said, “but there is no manual. It’s being written as we speak.” And so the old larrynemecek.com website and HQ of all things “Trekland” was born on April 21, 2008. It served well…it was a beaut in its day… …
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! Well, a virtual open house, actually: On Oct. 12, we hosted a special edition of one of our guest telebriefings. And in the spirit of #StarTrek50, it was a doozy: None …
