Star Trek After Turkey. Starbase Indy Convention Is This Weekend!

Crewman Becky — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 02:58:38 +0000

If you're in the Indianapolis area and celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday but still have a bunch of days off after that, you can now fill that time with Star Trek! It's time again for Starbase Indy!

That's right, one of the best independently run Star Trek conventions around, Starbase Indy, just happens to be going on this weekend; November 28th - 30th 2014. We're not biased, we swear...it's just that we've attended one of their conventions a few years back and it was a fabulous time. Because this convention is not a "mega-convention" you get less wait time for panels and events, tons of after hours parties and fun, close up seating to panels, and much closer access to the guests overall, which ultimately turns it into an awesomely memorable experience!

We’re pleased to announce episode 21 of our “Life After Trek” podcast, featuring Paul McGillion.

Abrams’s Star Trek and was even considered for the character of Scotty?...but I’m getting ahead of the game here.

William Shatner's Documentary "The Captains" Available For Streaming On Netflix; With Hidden Awesomeness

Captain Pyke — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:25:41 +0000

So I was cruising Netflix tonight, searching for Chuck Norris's The Delta Force (no lie!) and I stumbled upon William Shatner's documentary The Captains on Watch Instantly. You know the one; it features interviews with all six Star Trek captains... Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula, and Chris Pine. Oh, and The Shat, of course. I've been meaning to sit down and watch The Captains since release back in July, but I just simply haven't made the time. Now that I have, here are a few takeaways; First, Patrick Stewart seems to be one of the most thoughtful and eloquent actors in the history of the stage, Kate Mulgrew is tough-as-nails and can hold her own with anyone, Avery Brooks is down right crazy & amazing all at the same time, Scott Bakula is extremely down-to-earth, and Chris Pine IS William Shatner 30 years younger. And on top of that, Patrick Stewart's chair is gigantically disproportionate to Shatner's.

"I Just Want To Get Out Of The Wheelchair" Says Bruce Greenwood, On Captain Pike

Captain Pyke — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:58:13 +0000

We've said it once, and we'll say it a thousand times, Bruce Greenwood as Captain Christopher Pike was simply amazing in Star Trek XI. We would love to see him reprise the role as our beleaguered Captain, ahem, Admiral Pike. According to an interview with Collider.com, Bruce would also like to see Pike return in the upcoming sequel to "Star Trek". Not only in the sequel, but Bruce jokingly explains that "there should be a whole offshoot of Pike's adventures". We're with you there Bruce. Put us down for a Hamilton, we'd definitely be on board for that.

In a recent interview Mindy Hall recalls the task of convincing Zachary Quinto and Eric Bana, among others, to shave their heads and eyebrows.
