Captain Picard’s baldness
Sunday, March 28th, 2010
In an interview with BBC Worldwide, Patrick Stewart tells us Gene Roddenberry’s thoughts on hiring a bald actor to play Captain Jean-Luc Picard. At the first Star Trek: The Next Generation press conference…
Reporter: It doesn’t make any sense, you’ve got a bald actor playing this part [Picard]. Surely, by the 24th century, they will have found a cure for male pattern baldness.
Roddenberry: No, by the 24th century, no one will care.
There’s coffee in that nebula!

Janet’s Star Trek Voyager Site — A website that’s straight out of the NINETIES, but has a pretty awesome collection Star Trek maps. Including, as shown above, a detailed map of each year of Voyager’s journey, an explanation of the Star Trek planet-classing system, and tons more. Cheeeeck it out!
Earth to Mars, we have a problem
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Mars is just too small. It’s basically half the diameter of Earth, features about one third the gravity and has 28% the surface area. That’s a little less than just the land part of Earth, and Earth is covered 71 percent by water. Mars is so small that its tiny 0.376g gravitation field and vastly inferior magnetic field couldn’t even keep the sun’s solar winds from gently blowing the Martian atmosphere right off into space. If we really want to find a planet to go crazy about, maybe terraform and colonize, why would we downgrade? No wonder the original Martians ditched their planet for ours.
Second problem: Mars is starting to look a little too much like Star Wars desert planet, Tatooine. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to share anything with any Tusken Raiders.
So many Star Trek episodes
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009StarTrekStreaming.info is a website that contains links to free streaming Star Trek episodes of all the TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise series. Most episodes are in either one or two parts and I’ve very rarely found a dead link. This site is just amazing. So go and watch whatever episode you might have a hankering for. Maybe one of the Lore ones, or the one of my favourites, Deep Space Nine’s In The Pale Moonlight.
