Top 100 Sci-Fi Spaceships?

2012-01-27T02:14:00.041Z

This week I found a video with a cool slideshow of 100 'Top' science fiction spaceships. Most of these 100 'spaceships' originated from various science fiction movies and tv shows. A few others emerged from cartoon shows and comic Sci-Fi spoofs like the Thunderbirds, Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest. So sit back and enjoy the spaceship sideshow. A couple of space stations are included which is fine

2012-01-18T15:52:00.024Z

Speculation is running high about whos playing Star Trek's XII new villain. Screenrant, Hollywood Reporter and TheWrap have put three names into the fold for the films sequel of bad guys. The movie hits cinema theaters on May 17th 2013. 36 year old Englishman, Benedict Cumberbatch , star of Steven Spielberg's 2012 Warhorse has joined Star Treks cast to play a villain.

Uhura falls in Love

2012-01-17T04:58:00.004Z

Heres a funny moment from Star Trek TOS. Mr Spock while holding a tribble is fascinated. 'Most curious creature, Captain. It's trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system.' Captain Kirk glances at his Science Officer and chokes back a grin as the vulcan begins to pet it gently. Spock realizes his blunder and rather suddenly puts the little creature down. '

Fun Star Trek Homage

2012-01-15T22:32:00.020Z

I was trekking through the blog sphere recently and discovered a fun Star Trek homage on Hailing Frequency which is sung by 'star trek fans.' Only trekkies could muster enough heart to configure something like this and make it so but judge for yourselves.I reckon these hailing troops deserve three cheers! Their trekkie number is clearly based on Alexander Courage's original Star Trek TOS theme

Abrams Star Trek 2 Newsflash

2011-12-23T23:37:00.039Z

Star Trek 2 Newsflash.Get ready to satisfy your trek desires, Trekkies, with Mr Abrams in the driving seat calling the shots for Star Trek 2 (2013). In his interview update to TrekMovie, Bad Robot director, JJ Abram's lieutenants are clearly warping ahead with the cosmic art of filming Star Trek 2, boldly going to strange (less) new worlds. Apparently the USS Enterprise fledglings have all

Death is death

2011-11-27T11:51:00.003Z

Which super deadly action film star said "Death is death. We got to have compassion for the dead, the dying and the could be dying and the about to be dead."Hint: Hes got a black belt in Aikido. No cheating now trekkies.

Opening Hailing Frequencies

Doctor Whos Tardis is well known for its galactic time-travelling throughout the universe so here is something special for you to enjoy.. The material is soft, furry and to quote Chief Engineer Scotty, 'it nearly brought a tear to my eye.' So whats cool about it? I guess you could compare these galactic cell phone cosys to Star Trek's tribbles because they're so...... cute and cuddly. The

Shatner's Halloween Mask

2011-11-01T02:18:00.000Z

Happy Halloween everyone! Its that time of the year again Trekkies for our cheery eyed spooks to call around the neighbourhood trick or treating. Well assimilate this. Feast your eyes on these creepy masks, Spooky huh? Do you recognise him? The story goes Michael Myer's white legendary face is actually modelled on the death mask of Star Trek's Captain James T. Kirk. But is it true? Rumour has

Darpa Trek Codename

2011-10-09T23:42:00.000+01:00

Did you know that the US Navy, the US Airforce and NASA have all studied the USS Enterprise NCC 1701's bridge as a futuristic model for a hightech command centre? In 1994 DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Administration contacted Star Trek designer Herman Zimmerman and asked him to help them create an experimental control center based on the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 bridge. This

James Cameron's Avatar was two years ago. Doesn't time fly? The movies 3D cinematography adds plenty of sugar and spice making the virtual world of Pandora a pretty enjoyable flick for most? I think my heart was pounding during this movie because you see, I'm a sucker for lush green trees and ecosystems. Sometime ago I qualified in Amenity Horticulture. So when I saw the gunships closing in on

2011-09-14T00:00:00.016+01:00

R2 says Hello from Outerspace

2011-08-26T23:49:00.010+01:00

Earth's International Space Station has awoken their first humanoid Robonaut from his deep space sleep. Isn't that cool? But who or what is R2? I guess Robonaut 2 could be a distant relative of Star Trek's Mr Data who's definitely more than just a machine. While neither of these droids eat, sleep, drink or feel pain, their human-like features and capabilities are a source of great inspiration to

Top Five Star Trek Favorites

2011-08-22T23:57:00.002+01:00

Here's my top 5 Star Trek favorites so I'd better stick to Science Officer Garratt's starship rules and regulations. Actually I may have steered off course a little, phaser me! I just had to mention Khan. Now to begin. 1. Spock our pointy eared vulchie speaks for himself. "I am an accomplished Scientist devoted to logic..." says Spock to Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy. So what does that make Dr

Nimoys Las Vegas Big Goodbye

2011-08-14T16:38:00.000+01:00

I tuned in for Star Trek's Mr Spock and up flew the LLAP hands at the end. They were fast weren't they? Heres Leonard Nimoy saying Thank you to fans as he bids fond farewells at his last Star Trek Convention in Vegas. 'It took years of diligent practise and self denial' for the great vulcan to master the vulcan salute. I love that line. After Star Trek ended in 1969, Nimoy joined Mission

Trekkie Tests are Fun

2011-08-09T00:55:00.001+01:00

I took the Trekkie Test over the weekend at nerdtest.com and its official. I'm a Trekkie. Actually I've got Alex Cavanaugh to thank for encouraging me on : Spacerguy, you are a dedicated Trek geek! But seriously it seems to me theres much controversy about Trekker and Trekkie perception. What defining qualities really distinguish us from one another? Do you agree with this list? Could it be

Trek Geeks

2011-08-06T16:10:00.006+01:00

Remember Captain Kirk's opening monologue from Star Trek's classic series ending with 'to boldly go where no man has gone before?' After enjoying the Writing Ninja's Alex Cavanaugh's 'Making Connections' post I wanted to join in on the fun with some classic trek geekery of my own. Blogging: the final frontier. These are the treks of spacerguy. His ongoing quest: to explore strange, new blogs,

Thesaurus Trekkie Sacrilege

2011-07-24T21:50:00.050+01:00

I was warping across the Internet recently, when my deep space sensor sweeps detected some very suspect readings slagging off Trekkies. I wonder is someone from the darkside having a laugh at us? Now that wouldn't be hard, would it? Everybody has seen the pictures of Barbara Adams donned in her starfleet jury uniform and what about the trekkers with the ears who bump into you at the supermarket?

Transformers 3

2011-07-10T19:36:00.015+01:00

Transformers3 has over 40 million hits on youtube with the movie reaching its second weekend at the box office and still at number one. Wowsers. Watching Apollo's astronauts trekking through the spaceship wreckage, a huge grin burst over my face when I saw Sentinel Primes vulcanian features, engaged deep in thought. He's still alive buried deep within the skin of his ship... You can just tell who

Q's Deadly Game

2011-07-08T22:02:00.014+01:00

Star Trek's TNG tenth episode 'Hide and Q' was written by C.J. Holland and Gene Roddenberry. Picard's crew are on a humanitarian mission all fired up to save Sigma's 3's mining colony. Suddenly the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D is caught in a powerful forcefield net. Its the mysterious Q entity with another test to torment his favourite humans. His dreadful timing nearly sends Captain Picard into

Star Trek Illogical Mania

2011-06-22T22:47:00.027+01:00

William Shatner's latest tip off at the 2011 Calgary Comic Expo settles it. It looks like our trek hero won't be appearing in Star Trek 2. Sob, sniff... I feel like bursting into tears. "I've become an acquaintance of J.J. Abrams. What a talented guy and he never mentioned, "Get yourself ready, you're going to be in the next movie,"... So, no."Oh well, you can count on one thing. The new Star

Obama's Roots.

Monday 23rd May began with AirForce One flying into Dublin airport. Marine One took the President towards Phoenix Park where Barack Obama planted a tree before meeting Mary MacAleese and her husband Martin. The 44th President of the United States accompanied by his lovely wife Michelle visited his ancestral home, Moneygall in Ireland, which was the main event during their whole visit. Mr Obama
