Star Trek:TOS Part 6:Insane in the brain and a pocket full of Corbomite by Rick Austin
Captain Kirk and Mr Spock represent the greatest pairing of characters in the whole of Star Trek. There have been others who fit the bill pretty well, the most obvious being Quark/Odo and Bashir/O’Brien from Deep Space Nine, but Kirk and Spock were the first and are still the best. This is a friendship that literally stands the test of time, to the point that it’s the pivotal character relationship in the latest film. Seeing a...

Are Trekkies gullible cash cows? by Lee Hutchison
What can you spend £40 on? A return train ticket to London and see some of the great museums in the world. A night out In Edinburgh and on booze to get yourself so drunk you’ve got the courage to tell a girl you fancy them before being rejected and going home with only a pie from the all night bakery. You could get a last minute flight to somewhere in Europe, you could take a loved one and enjoy a sunny beach. Or you could spend...

Scales and Ridges, Part 10 by: Thomas Oakes
Several hours after entering the Betreka Nebula, the Enterprise rendezvoused with the U.S.S. Pompeii, under the command of Captain Matt Decker. “That’s quite a luxury liner you’re in command of, Jim,” he commented after they established two-way visual communication, “though I can’t quite get used to seeing a Klingon on the bridge of a federation starship.” “Two Klingons,” Koloth added, rising from the science station...

Event Log: 9th February 2013 SFBall Bournemouth by Tony Shelley
I was the lucky winner of a Saturday day ticket to attend the Si Fi Ball event in Bournemouth on 9th February 2013 with the Trek Mate team. I did not attend the parties or the whole of the weekend but my day experience was certainly worth the three hour train mission. I have vivid memories and mixed feelings from attending Star Trek London in October 2012. This event was huge. The anticipation from the build up, the immense guest...
Scales and Ridges, Part 9 by: Thomas Oakes
The Federation starship had barreled into the nebula like an Argolian ungulate pursuing a mate, causing enormous ripples in the particulate matter and leaving behind an ionized wake that glowed with the brilliance of thousands of tiny Tandaran gemstones. The captain of the Orion raider Pilferer had literally been in the right spot at the right time to witness the entry of the Enterprise, apparently without being detected himself....
