Next Tuesday, we celebrate TWO HUNDRED Trekland Tuesdays LIVE! Who knew my project to finally “go live on the web,” bootstrapping with my iPhone and not much else back in the ancient days of April 2017, would lead to all this: A great global community, finally reaching multistream YouTube, and many TTLers who have found their way from Tuesdays LIVE …
Happy Star Trek Day! CBS sets historic virtual day of events— free and global (and we do, too!)
CBS is doing it up big for Star Trek’s 54th birthday today, spurned on by the silver lining of the pandemic: the coming of virtual panels and access. Look for SIX 30-minute panels from 12 noon to 3 pm Pacific time TODAY— legacy and new series alike. AND available around the globe— no geoblocking! Hosted by Wil Wheaton and Mica …
Amid the Virtual Trek Con 6-day blitz, check out our podcaster panel Sunday
Well, just like the pandemic that sparked it…. THIS sure blew up fast. Only, in a good way. In case you hadn’t heard, Virtual Trek Con is running NOW— quick! Go see! All organized by my buddy (and fellow Tellarite) Ryan T. Husk and The 7th Rule podcast. And from modest roots it has exploded into six days of mostly …
Going meta with Dorothy: why her passing leaves us so gobsmacked
You can’t talk about her obviously classic, huge contribution to all things Spock and Vulcans — creating Sarek and Amanda, too! — without putting Dorothy Fontana in the Top 3 or 4 or 5, at most, of who Made Star Trek What It Is Today. She died Dec. 3 after I mean, if Ron Moore became TNG‘s “Klingon guy” and …
RIP DCF: Where to hear Dorothy Fontana on The Trek Files—plus, today’s LIVE
Such a flood of emotions on the sudden passing of Dorothy “D.C.” Fontana, our direct pipeline to 1964 and so much roots Trek (and roots TNG as well!). I’ll say more here tomorrow … although I’ve already said a lot: watch today’s Trekland Tuesdays LIVE Ep. 132: Our Guardian of Forever is Gone: RIP Dororthy Fontana. (Apologies for the signal …
I host “The Cage” 1964’s director—and other huge Treks at Comic-Con!
UPDATED with signing added for Robert Butler and I! WHAT a huge year this will be at San Diego Comic-Con for Trek, the largest ever— coming up July 17-21. We’ve come so far since the big modern catch-up for Trek at SDCC in 2016 with the 50th, Discovery‘s first peeks and Beyond‘s outdoor, live-orchestra’d world premiere. And this year I’m …
Looks like “The Brightest Star,” the next #ShortTreks, will make Trek history
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 …
Star Trek’s big at Comic-Con San Diego—and I will be Treklanding all four days
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 …
Kurtzman showruns Discovery for now—with a CBS deal that includes NEW Trek
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 …
From blogs to Facebook LIVE—are you catching my comments every Tuesday?
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 …
Catch up, catch on each week to shorty Trekland Tuesdays LIVE on my Facebook!
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 …
