As a Captain, you will or have most likely lost officers under your command. After a while, it can take a mental toll on you.
Just remember that everything happens for a reason. You mustn't let your leasdership suffer from these tragedies, or there will inevitably be more losses due to your lack of focus.

me and my boo went it was fun.
More of a kid friendly movie though, but that is all good because I have the mind of a 2 year old so I loved it of course.
Um the only thing was...on obi-wan kenobi he had a scar on his forhead...
now I don't know if they were trying to be funny because Ewan Mcgregor had his mole removed because it was cancerous or just because. But it kinda pissed me off because Ewan Mcgregor didn't play the voice of obi in this movie... not cool not cool.
With Mole… Continue

Well, yesterday I had to film this coaches dinner with the Rotary. We were told it would take place between 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. I arrived on site at 5:30 and next to the owner of the home - was the first person there. The high school coaches didn't show until 6:00 and within minutes they started their dinner followed by long speeches. I didn't even get my interviews until 7:30!!! I finally left at 8:00 p.m. (13 hour day)
Next week starts high school football season. Every Friday until Novembe… Continue

Well, I'm happy to say that Robyn has returned home safely and that she and her friend had a delightful time. Now that she is back I feel at peace and can rant about things in our culture that tick me off.

Did anyone else before starting to make their uniform feel really rather concerned about it.

It's official, our orders have come through, and we launch today!
The crew are excited as can be, and each of us is hopefully looking toward the future endeavors of our mission with such optimism it's like a fire that makes their entire being shine from deep within.

A hat-tip to Mrs. Picard for bringing my attention to this.
Over the past few years of writing fanfiction in various fandoms, I have learned to grow a thicker skin and not take myself so seriously. Every once in a while I will hear about someone coming across my stories, sometimes negative... sometimes positive. Either way, I have learned to take critique, even satirical stuff.
Thus this is why I was laughing myself into a fetal position this morning at work when I read an email from Mrs. Pica… Continue
Hello Star Trek Fans!
My name is Aric Johnson I am Captain of the USS Gene Roddenberry. Recently I was lucky enough to attend the Star Trek Convention in Vegas. Before I went there I was contacted by Matt Green who works for a major British Television show. It seems that they are looking to produce a Star Trek documentary and they are coming out to LA to shoot. They need Star Trek fans to participate in this show to make it great.
This show will be aired on British TV and the name of it is Bri… Continue
First a confession. The person next to Robyn in this picture is me but I've cropped it because it is a terrible photo of me. I look as though I have no chin, kind of like the lady in the DISH Network commercials because on her face the chin is merely a myth that her cheeks like to tel… Continue

I know there must be some of you out there who would be interested in new and improved Star Trek The Experience. While the one in Las Vegas is closing very shortly, that doesn't mean the idea must die with it. We just need to show that there is enough actual and potential interest to warrant serious consideration of not just moving the museum some place but developing a grand new design. Certainly, with the number of fan films popping up, there's an uptapped demand. I would love to go to a full-… Continue
hello!
I'm happy today, because I'm the new Counsellor of USS Curie...

My sources say that of the players (Las Vegas Hilton, CBS/Paramount, and Cedar Fair) involved in The Experience moving out of the Hilton in Las Vegas, it seems that the Hilton is the deal-breaker.
According to the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, 3 million people have gone to The Experience in the last almost 11 years. Let’s do some math…. A ticket to The Experience costs $50. Three million people over 11 years is 747 people every day. Every. Single. Day. So, one day’s take for just the rides (not… Continue

When we think of Hurricane Katrina, we immediately think of New Orleans because the media was all over that city when the levees broke. Most don't realize, courtesy of the media, is that the whole Gulf coast took a beating, not just New Orleans. I have the interesting experience of seeing firsthand how a major city largely ignored by the media is [still] rebounding from such a disaster.
My folks visited me last weekend. I miraculously phased up to Phase 3 the day they arrived (in Phase 3 we hav… Continue

Thank you Scifi Channel for screwing up the fan base for what started out to be a pretty good series of Battlestar Galactica. Before it became so angst-filled and soap operish (when does Baltar NOT have weepy eyes?), there were some pretty good episodes with good writing, directing, and special effects. With the spotty schedule of months between episodes of BG, how did you expect fans to continue to care about your channel or your sponsors? Hey, that's okay, Star Trek fans will put up with a lot… Continue

Three unlikely friends, "Sid the Land Sloth" (voiced by John Leguizamo), "Manford 'Manny' the Wolly Mamoth" (voiced by Ray Ramono) and "Diego the Saber-tooth Tiger" (voiced by Dennis Leary) have discovered that the ice damn keeping the area they and other species live dry is melting. There claims are confirmed by a vulture.

We went on an away mission to a place where the heat was relentless. This planetoid's life is near a volcanic region, and thus active vents for molten flow made the air nearly unbreathable for one more used to the cold like myself.

Okay, I've got a question for all you Trekkies/Trekkers out there.
Why is there so little constructive response from the Star Trek fandom about the closing of Star Trek: The Experience within the next 2 weeks? When it was announced lo these many years ago that the original series had been cancelled Star Trek fans really made their voices heard. For the closing of STTE and no new home announced or even concretely in the works, all I hear are whimperings... some blog responses, some disappointmen… Continue

Star Trek is just one facet of SF that I love. I absolutely love anything connected to the genre: from Isaac Asimov to Doctor Who, William Gibson to Babylon 5. Even such peripheral subjects as RPGs, anime, filk, and graphic novels--the whole so-called "nerd" lifestyle. When I was young, aside from my family, this stuff was about all that kept me from saying "Fuck it," then figure out a way to off myself and see what's next. It's because I love SF so much that every year, from July to October, I… Continue

Reason #21 to attend Mountain-Con:

Nothing is as permanent as change ... and don't we know it!
Our Web site has gone through a major revamp, and went live this week. We not only have a brand new look, but new forums, "Mountain-Con TV" (courtesy of hulu.com), and a list of up-to-the-minute announcements. Navigating the new site is also a little bit different from getting around on the old one

Nothing reminds me of what a terrible idea it is to ride in another person's car better than when I ride with Robyn in her P.O.S. (piece of $&!#) or her mom's Explorer, which today with $3.65 gas is also a P.O.S. Robyn has recently become a fan of Katy Perry, the woman who sang "I Kissed A Girl". I find nothing wrong with the implied lesbianism, but I can't help but wonder if America would have responded as well to this song if Katy Perry looked like Kathy Bates. I doubt very much it would h… Continue
My Idea for a Classic Star Trek Movie Era Fan Film:
Set a decade after Star Trek:Generations and long before the Next Generation on board the Enterprise NCC-1701-B. It has just finished an overhaul and has a new crew. Saavik is the 2nd in Command/Science Officer position same as Spock use to occupy. Still trying to figure out an outline for the Pilot.
My Other Idea (Not Star Trek)
"Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" set after the first season and ignoring the second. All the chara… Continue

Part 1
Doctor Mirra sat at the airlock opening. He knew that the security on Deep Space Nine was always watching him. The security guard seemed to be going off his usual patrol route to check on Doctor Mirra. After the third pass by the Starfleet officer, Mirra thought about "accidently" tripping the young human, but his thoughts changed as his mother and her friend showed up.
Doctor Mirra's mother, Cerel, brought her friend Shatek. The friend wasn't as old as he appeared. Doctor Mirra remembe… Continue

I was very excited about a new Trekspace member. There it was, calling itself SCI FI CAFE. The profile described a Las Vegas restaurant/club with a Sci Fi theme.
What a great find! This would be fabulous for my club to visit when we go to Vegas at the end of the month. I clicked on the website link and saw that the CAFE takes up where QUARK'S is unfortunately leaving off. A Halloween bash, musical guest nights, costumed aliens, everything we could hope for was available or being planned.… Continue
I saw my first comet! It was a remark I'd made in excitement to my brother when I was able to speak with him via the subspace relay. Being that he had walked amongst the stars many times before, he replied in a bored way of saying that was a nice something special for me. But, for those of the crew who were witness to such events, it was the excited buzz and chatter all around the common rest areas. Even short trips via shuttle were marked points to hear someone else's reaction to the event that… Continue

I've decided there is nothing to be done about the wars in the world. At least...that I can do on a personal level, in this small village placed in the middle of nowhere.

Which is why I've officially decided to enter the field of Psychology, and keep my hand in Sociology as well. There must be a way to make the world b… Continue

As TrekSpace grows, so do the different personalities. I have noticed an incline in complaints. The beauty of Star Trek is that they have forgone what we see today as adverse reactions and have reached a new realization that all can be equal and treated with respect no matter the views people may hold dear to them. This can touch on many things including religion, politics and everything else that makes us individuals.
(With respect to those of you who are in the Borg Collective, which we will r… Continue

you were one of the best writers of Star Trek.

He was the only guest not to come...-

As I've learnt earlier today, a fellow classmate and friend won't be joining us this year or the next. From word I've heard from my cousin Autumn and at church, my friend Dustin Shrewsberry (Sorry if I've mispelled your name) passed early this morning after being taken off of life support. Again, from what I've heard, he was involved in a motorcycle accident, I believe, a couple of days ago. At some point or another, word was out that his brain had swollen; later on, he had to be put on life sup… Continue
