Star Trek TNG on Family Guy

Love you some cartoons? Well, an upcoming episode of Seth McFarland’s Family Guy will have a Star Trek feel. Apparently the Griffen family is off to a Trekie convention, which judging by the pic, produces hilarious results between the old cast members and Stewie. I can’t wait. → Read More

Attention East Coast Star Trek fans

We have some good news, Trekkies. We’ve got the inside scoop that the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia will be hosting one of two traveling conventions in May. If you recall, the Franklin Institute was home to the kick ass Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit we covered last year. Hit the jump for details on Stark Trek: The Exhibition, nerd. → Read More

Build the Enterprise from stuff laying around the office

I take issue with the idea that binder clips are “useless,” as this article implies, but if I’m honest, making a starship out of them is a cooler function than their intended one. The best thing about this instructable is that it’s super easy and once you’ve done it, you can probably remember how to do it again and again without looking at the web page. Plus, you can probably do it right now, possibly without leaving your chair. I was hoping no glue would be necessary, but it is for attaching the “hull” bit to the “saucer” bit. I think I’m going to get crafty here… some creatively scissored stickies can be configured to make it work, I’d say. [Updated with correct link] → Read More

Sulu snubs Captain Kirk on his wedding – or something like that

  There’s nothing like a good ‘ol fashion Treky feud. Apparently, William Shatner was under the impression that former Star Trek co-actor George Takei invited others from the Star Trek cast to his wedding, but not Captain Kirk. George had previously said though that he and his life partner did in fact send out an invitation, but Shatner didn’t send back the RSVP. Oh well, at least we got this hilarious tid-bit into the vast thoughts of Shatner. → Read More
