Simon over at Today I Found Out talks about what the Antikythera Mechanism does.


Studying the history of math and science is a hobby of mine, so I've known about the Mechanism for decades, but these recent revelations still blow my mind.

It turns out that the Bird of Prey and the Defiant were not the only ships to have major questions regarding their sizes...


Comparison of Shuttlecraft Galileo sizes according to the interior set, the exterior prop, and dialogue.


You'd think all three of these could easily be the same. It's not like they had to make a complete exterior, couldn't they get away with only making the front half for camera purposes?

A Frasier/Columbo crossover that's...something else.


Columbo was a little before my time, but my parents were fans. I mainly know Peter Falk from The Princess Bride. Plus my recent discovery of his performance in Brigadoon.

Adam Savage now has a drill that can make a hole the width of a human hair.


He has to look through a microscope to see what he's working on.


I have much respect for Adam and am in awe of the stuff in his cave, but this is one purchase I really have to question. Once the new car shine has worn off, how often is he going to use this thing?

Time for another Star Trek Deviantart Day!


A nice collection of Enterprises NX-F. I haven't had a good look at the F until now, I'm not a fan. It's like someone clumsily mashed the E and Voyager together.



The Galaxy-X E-D. While I don't have a problem with the phaser lance (and think it should appear more often), that third nacelle...no. Just no. Call me a purist, but nacelles should always be in pairs. Period.



The 1701 meets the Andromeda Ascendant. Is that the Discovery or SNW version of the 1701? I really should rewatch Andromeda someday, It's just that Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica are ahead of it in line...


I don't think that I've posted this TNG cast group shot yet...


A TOS/Doctor Who crossover. My only problem is the usage of TNG-era uniforms for the Klingons and Romulans...


A fanmade shuttle design. It just seems odd that they'd put TNG-style nacelles on a ship that otherwise looks much more advanced...


A nice DS9 tableau. Except that the Galor-class ship is way too small. We've seen Galor-class ships in contrast with the station, and this one is just wrong.


What if the Monster Maroons were actually in TOS colors? They wouldn't look very good, actually...


The TOS crew in an alternate universe where they were played by different actors (the faces are that bad!). I'm tempted to add a link to the Spaceballs stunt double scene.


The Voyager girls. It's odd that they're showing the tops of Torre's tools, but not the actual pocket protector (or the jacket the pocket protector was on). And Janeway's smile is just a bit too wide, like she's a snake about to snap at a mouse.


A portrayal of some of the TAS characters in a more realistic style.



It was inevitable that someone would put Seven in a TOS miniskirt...

For various reasons the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper holds a special place in my heart, so when someone does a crossover between it and Star Trek it caught my attention.

Dusty Abell returns with a Trek/Dr. Who crossover fanart. It even includes the modern Trek and Who stars if you're a fan of that.
