Red Shirt Hill's Blog (8)

I don't know if this has already been posted, but thought I would add it...



Doug Drexler, a special effects / prop / model maker and all around good guy, has worked on most of the Star Trek series and a few of the films.



He has a blog where he revisits some of his efforts, and reminisces about his love of Trek, WWII aircraft, and many other topics of interest.

There was a blog post up about the appropriate views and expression of human sexuality in Star Trek. The author posited that author's of fan fiction films and the like should be careful about expressing overt sexual orientation themes, especially if they are gay themes.

Hello all TrekSpace Trekkers,



Back in the early days of the Internet during the 90's (Well, yes, the Internet does go way back much further thanks to the Defense Dept) there were several Trek sites put up by fans. Two of my favorites were "The Star Trek Art Gallery" and William McCullar's IDIC website. Both were a treasure trove of imagery, imagination, and information.
