Star Trek Day on 9/8/2024:

Maybe it aired again the next day?

Considering we now have a Christopher Pike Star Trek series, I wouldn't call TOS The Cage a failed pilot per se. It may have taken 55 or so years, but yeah it seems a studio saw what was made and decided to make a show with the main characters of that pilot episode.

Not the same Pike--not the same personality.

Characters in TV shows often get recast, renamed or otherwise tweaked after the pilot.

Yearly reminder that TOS aired a day earlier on the 7th in Canada.

I’ll be celebrating tomorrow

If I can celebrate American Independence on July 4th every year no matter that this is not the day the Declaration of Independence was signed, I can continue to call September 8th Star Trek Day. (I will NOT call May the 4th Star Wars day. There are lines.)

While Paramount's Star Trek Day offerings may have been more low key this year they also felt more complete. Just going by the Star Trek Day trailer it felt like there is love for ALL Star Trek. For one thing there is Shatner. But no Nimoy? I realize it's very Captain-centric. There is one shot of the full TNG cast on the Picard D bridge. I won't quibble. It gave me all the Trekkie feels and that's all I need. I'm a simple man.

There is also only ONE ship. Oh. There is that silly little Discovery thing that Booker flies. OK, ONE ENTERPRISE. And while it's the one that Paramount is currently making, at least it's a version of the good old 1701. (No bloody.)

And I don't know what it looked like before, but the Paramount+ Star Trek page is looking pretty darn good.

I hope everyone had a good Star Trek Day. This fall is the 60th anniversary of The Cage as well as the Enterprise herself.

I celebrated the 50th anniversary of The Pirates of Orion, the 30th anniversary of Tribunal, and the 35th anniversary of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Give me warp in the factor of 5, 6, 7, 8!

One of my now dearest friends held a Star Trek Day party when I first met her. It's also her birthday, but she was too shy to invite people to that; hence a Trek party.

Posted some fanfic and did a Picard S3 rewatch for my ST Day. Come on, Seven. Say the thing!

I rewatched the scenes of Picard and the Enterprise in the DS9 pilot “Emissary” on YouTube. Then I rewatched the scenes of DS9 in the Voyager pilot “Caretaker”. I think I got all the scenes I need for the “old” 24th century Star Trek. lol

P.S. I also rewatched the scenes of the Enterprise in the 2 episodes of PIC
