A podcast interviews Phil Farrand.


He certainly doesn't sound like I thought he would. He also recaps why there won't be more Nitpicker's Guides. I had long gone with "he can't risk spending this much time on something that might get him sued by Paramount." Whether Paramount could succeed in suing him (short version: no, but it would still be a huge hassle for him to prove that they can't). I didn't know that he was planning a Star Wars guide including the novels. I didn't know that it wasn't the Trek lawyers that scared off his publishers, it was the Wars lawyers.



I almost wonder if this should be on the Amazing Things I Learned Today thread, but that seems to have died and I don't like necroposting if I can avoid it.

A new contender for "most obscure Star Trek music track to be covered by an orchestra."



The Bartender Bit from Trouble With Tribbles.


I was surprised to find this. Of course an orchestra would cover the main themes, the Inner Light, etc., but something this minor was a surprise.

Star Trek Deviantart Day Six!


Has it really been a year?


A rather lovely atmospheric shot of Voyager with Delta Flyer and Type-9 shuttle (the Cochrane, I expect).


The TOS crew. My only real problem here is that Chekov looks a bit puffy.



TOS meets Dr. Who (specifically Eleven). Since when are Daleks red and blue? And don't ask me why they're facing TNG-era Klingons and Romulans...


The TOS crew drawn in a way that reminds me of advertising mascots of the Sixties. Don't ask me why Chekov looks like he belongs in a Beatles cartoon more than Star Trek...


A collection of the various times the crew dressed like it's the mid-20th century (give or take). I wonder how Dixon Hill (the "real" one) would've handled the natives of Sigma Iotia II?


The TOS Big Three. Great art, but Bones looks a bit too scowly (even for him) if you ask me.



Manga-style "Mirror, Mirror". Smug-looking Bones there...


A fist-bump from Manga Kirk and Manga Spock. I wonder why Spock's smiling that widely, is it spores or did he find out he hadn't killed Jim after all again?


The Teen Titans cosplaying as TOS characters.



Crochet dolls of the TNG cast.



Q meets Discord. At least it's supposed to be Q, the hair's too poofy and he's on the TOS bridge for some reason...

It's a shame this Trek-related pirate image wasn't posted for TLAPD last month.

Star Trek Deviantart Day Seven!


Mickey Mouse's gang as the TOS crew. As a fan of the classic Disney shorts the thing that bugs me the most is the shape of Horace Horsecollar's ears. For some reason they put Pete's ears on Horace's head.


A rather nice painting of the Big Seven. I'm amused at Chekov's confusion.



The TNG crew in chibi style. Most are good, but Pulaski hardly looks like Muldaur.


The Stargate Atlantis cast as Star Trek aliens
