Oh, cripes, it's got that River Song creature in it. I've only seen one episode of modern Who, and it centred on Alex Kingston haphazardly hamming around, playing a character with the most contrived emotag ever.

As names, River Song and Melody Pond offend me such that I'd rather not have to type them. I didn't, but I have, so I had to.

Yes, if you take the pointless numbers off, it's a reasonable who's who of sci-fi.

no pun intended

Avon's a bit of a surprise. Good breadth of eras, but List.

So...Justin "4 Fast and the Furious movies" Lin is in the chair for Star Trek 3. Maybe it'll turn out all ok, but was there really no one else with chops to take it? I can't imagine it would have been a massively hard sell.

Saw this, thought of Red Eye.

Avon was a highly original character (and still is). 

He is pretty much a villain, but due to his personal circumstances (i.e. becoming a fugitive), ends up fighting alongside the good guys against the evil Federation.  He needed them, and they needed him.

He was a cunning strategist with no qualms about killing others.  He lacked both fear and guilt, and operated entirely for his own self interest, which suggested he had psychopathic tendencies; yet he wasn't egocentric, wasn't impulsive, was very calculating in the risks he took, and didn't have the desire to have power over others (which suggested otherwise).  He only took up the position of leadership by default when Blake went missing, yet was unusually calm when the pushy Tarrant made himself leader.  If someone willing and able to be leader was available, he would assume the role of an advisor.

An MBTI would probably class him as an INTP.

BBC creates intergalactic diplomatic crisis after using wrong ship in news article.

When we called Nick, he said he used to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation but had not seen in a couple of years. He sounded a bit dubious about how much he could help.


So, we asked him, just what ship had we used?


"That's the USS Yamaguchi," he said, without hesitation. "It's an ambassador-class starship.


"It's like a sister ship of the Enterprise, but came about 30 years beforehand if I remember right. It was destroyed by a Borg cube in the Battle of Wolf 359."

Hats off to the man, I probably would have spotted it wasn't the Enterprise... but I wouldn't be able to identify the name and class.

Just started watching the second season of TNG on Blu-ray and it's really only just dawned on me that the new doc is about twenty thousand times the better actress than the hamtastic actress who plays Beverly Crusher.  It's a shame they didn't keep her for the rest of the series, and she was in the original series, wasn't she?

I guess everyone knows by now, but just in case.

If you want a smart watch, but the current offerings aren't Trekky enough for you, check out the LCARS skin for the Pebble Time.

I'm not sure how they got this made without getting sued off the face of the Earth, but hey, it's a thing.


About Star Trek: Renegades:

Star Trek Renegades is an independent fan funded and supported Internet television Series, produced by Sky Conway.

Our pilot episode is completed and will be released to supporters in the very near future. Renegades features a combination of familiar Star Trek character and actors, plus a collection of hot, new rising actors.

The Story:

When a seemingly unstoppable new enemy threatens the very existence of the Earth, Admiral Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) is forced to work outside the boundaries of Starfleet’s rules to combat this deadly new foe.

When planet after planet winks out of existence, yet Starfleet refuses to act, Chekov turns to Commander Tuvok (Tim Russ, who also directs), the new head of Starfleet’s covert operations division, Section 31. Together, they assemble a new elite strike-force, consisting of rogues, outcasts and criminals, led by the fearless yet haunted Lexxa Singh (Adrienne Wilkinson).

The Renegades’ mission is simple: take on an army and stop their leader, Borrada (Bruce Young), from destroying the Earth. Outnumbered and outgunned, the ragtag crew is in an adrenaline-pumping race against time and space. But they soon find their foes are the least of their concerns: the real trouble may be coming from within!

Star Trek: Renegades stars Walter Koenig (reprising his role as Admiral Chekov), Adrienne Wilkinson, Sean Young, Manu Intiraymi, Gary Graham, Robert Picardo, Corin Nemec, Bruce Young, Tim Russ, Chasty Ballesteros, Edward Furlong, Courtney Peldon, Larissa Gomes, Richard Herd and Herbert Jefferson Jr., and introducing Crystal Conway.

Star Trek: Renegades - boldly going where no Trek has gone before!

Watched it last night.  Its bad, so, so bad, & not the good bad.  Felt my initial hype/optimism leave within the first 5 mins of watching.

Ive caught a couple of episodes of the original show on some freeview channel (CBS?), they appear to have added in some rudimentary CGI for the ship. Either that or Im going mad. Can someone confirm either way.
