I wouldn’t call myself a trekkie, but I have always been a fan of Star Trek. I loved the original series, I have seen most of the movies, and I watched a lot of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It really ends there though, any Star Trek series after TNG just didn’t blow my skirt up a whole lot.
I saw the new movie that is about to come out on DVD Star Trek (Three-Disc +Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (I am nearly wetting myself, I am so excited) and I absolutely love it! I went to the midnight showing, that is some serious stuff.
This past weekend I checked out a new Star Trek exhibit that just opened down the street from me in Hollywood. I was sort of hoping that it was the old Star Trek exhibit from the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas. No such luck, but it was awesome anyway. Did I mention they sold toy tribbles as souvenirs? Let me just vent for a moment. I still can’t believe they closed down that exhibit in Las Vegas. It’s not like they put anything else in it’s place, and now the only place that Trekkies can gather is at a convention. They even had a Star Trek ride in there, it was like Star Tours in Disneyland, but with Captain Picard.
I’m just glad they opened the exhibit that I went to on Sunday, it was full of Costumes from the show and the new movie. You could even sit on the U.S.S. Enterprise (well the set at least) from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Here I am with Spock, that’s Mr. Spock by the way, not Dr. Spock. Dr. Spock is that famous child psychologist. Common misconception. Spock is one of my favorite Star Trek characters, he and Scotty are pretty much tied.
Me and James Tiberius Kirk. He’s just so pretty.
Me and my boyfriend lovin’ on the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Is that an uncharted planet? Let’s explore!
It was a pretty amazing trip, I just truly appreciate the entire Star Trek universe. Maybe there is a little bit of trekkie in me after all.

LOL. That’s cool. The new movie turned me into a Star Trek fan. The Borg have always been “gnarly” though. hehe. A few years back I went on a tour that had the sets for Cheers, Star Trek and some other stuff. There used to be a museum by the Knitting Factory but I think they put a LA Fitness there. Anyhow, I got to sit in the Captain’s seat. Kinda fun.
Sweet pics!
I am excited about the release of Star Trek on DVD too. As a fan of the original show (especially Mr. Spock) I think JJ Abrams did a great job. And Zachary Quinto was a really good Mr. Spock.
But I a m really disappointed that the cool Star Trek exhibit isn’t coming to Dallas. It looks like a lot of fun! Loved your pictures.
Cool pics! I have to admit, I never really considered myself a really big of fan of the Star Trek series (i’m more into Star Wars). Though, after seeing the movie it really got me interested. Thanks for sharing!
I know what museum you’re talking about! No one ever knows what I’m talking about when I mention that place. Now I know I’m not crazy. Well, in this instance anyway. I think that’s where they got a lot of the stuff from this exhibit that I went to. I can’t believe they took that place out, now that’s “gnarly”
I thought Zachary Quinto was a great Spock too, I wasn’t sure about that choice when they first announced the casting but once I saw a picture of him all dressed up as Spock I knew it would be perfect.
Thanks, yeah I was always kind of a closeted fan of Star Trek. But once the movie came out, I couldn’t deny it any longer.
