Dezember 2007, 16:37 Uhr VORLESUNG Weihnachten mit Captain Kirk und dem iPhone Aufgepasst Trekkies: In diesem Jahr startet wieder die legendäre Star-Trek-Weihnachtsvorlesung. Mit einem Kostümwettbewerb und der Versteigerung von handsignierten Unikate wird wieder viel geboten. Zudem werden in Vorträgen die Parallelen zwischen Star Trek und der Wirklichkeit beleuchtet. zurück Bild 1 von 11 weiter Foto: Paramount Picture Die Mannschaft besteht aus der Schiffspsychologin vom Planeten Betazed, Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), dem Klingonen Worf (Michael Dorn), dem blinden Chefingenieur Jordi LaForge (LeVar Burton), der Schiffsärztin Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), Captain Picard sowie dem Ersten Offizier William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) und Data (v.l.). Die Gerichte der Crew kochen Fans jetzt nach. Die „Starfleet Academy FH Zweibrücken“ lädt wieder zur bereits legendären Star-Trek-Weihnachtsvorlesung ein. Die Organisatoren Dr. Hubert Zitt, Professor Markus Groß und Manfred Strauß versprechen für den 19. Dezember im Audimax der Fachhochschule in Zweibrücken mehr Highlights als je zuvor. „Diesmal werden wir offiziell von Paramout und vom offiziellen Star-Trek-Fanclub unterstützt“, betont Zitt, um die Behauptung bezüglich der Highlights zu untermauern. Wie in den vergangenen Jahren werden wohl auch dieses Jahr zur Star-Trek-Vorlesung wieder viele Fans in Kostümen erscheinen. Um die Motivation zusätzlich zu steigern, stimmen diesmal die Zuschauer im Audimax über die besten Kostüme ab. Die ersten drei Gewinner erhalten jeweils zwei Freikarten für die FedCon 2008 (Europas größte Science Fiction Convention) oder eine HD-DVD-Box „Raumschiff Enterprise – Remastered – Season 1“. Die Veranstalter hoffen auf viele originelle Ideen und eine rege Teilnahme am Kostümwettbewerb. Das Kostüm muss nicht aus Star Trek oder Star Wars sein, sollte aber im weitesten Sinne etwas mit Science Fiction oder Fantasy zu tun haben. Schon in den vergangenen Jahren haben die Organisatoren der Star Trek-Vorlesung und die Firma Movie FX Business zusammen Hilfsaktionen für kranke Kinder initiiert. Auch diesmal findet wieder eine solche Aktion statt. Die Firma Movie FX Business stellt dafür eine komplette Stormtrooper-Rüstung zur Verfügung, die über den Online-Marktplatz eBay versteigert wird. Das Besondere: Die Rüstung enthält ein Autogramm vom Star-Wars-Produzenten Rick McCallum. Außerdem wird, ebenfalls über eBay, ein Baseball versteigert, auf dem die beiden "Star Trek: Deep-Space-Nine"-Schauspieler Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko) und Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) unterschrieben haben Der Erlös geht zu 100 Prozent an „Die Gruppe Saar-Pfalz des Mukoviszidose e.V.“, die sich um die Belange von Kindern kümmert, die an Mukoviszidose erkrankt sind. In den beiden Vorträgen an diesem Abend geht es um die Visionen von Star Trek. Was einst noch Phantasien von Science-Fiction-Autoren waren, ist teilweise heute schon zur Realität geworden. Denken wir doch nur mal an den http://www.welt.de/wissenschaft/article1461716/Weihnachten_mit_Captain_Kirk_un... 21.12.2007 Weihnachten mit Captain Kirk und dem iPhone - Nachrichten Wissenschaft - WEL... Seite 2 von 2 Kommunikator von Captain Kirk und vergleichen diesen mit unseren heutigen Handys. Neben anderen technischen Visionen wie z.B. dem Holodeck wird Hubert Zitt in seinem Vortrag aber auch auf medizinische und gesellschaftliche Visionen bei Star Trek eingehen. Glaubt man den Science-Fiction-Autoren, so ist es in der Zukunft möglich, Organe wie eine Niere einfach durch Einnahme eines Medikamentes nachwachsen zu lassen; und Themen wie Frauendiskriminierung oder Rassenkonflikte werden der Vergangenheit angehören. Mit Professor Matthias Pfaff vom Studiengang Virtual Design der FH Kaiserslautern wird erstmals ein Gastreferent bei eine Star-Trek-Weihnachtsvorlesung einen Vortrag halten. Unter dem Titel „Zeigt Star Trek das Design von morgen?“ wird Pfaff vor allem auf das Design von Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen bei Star Trek eingehen. Unter anderem wird er dabei die Bedienung des iPhones mit den gezeigten Methoden bei Star Trek vergleichen. Wie in jedem Jahr kommt natürlich auch das leibliche Wohl der Gäste nicht zu kurz. Die Fachschaft Informatik und Mikrosystemtechnik mixt intergalaktische Getränke und bewirtet mit außerirdischen Speisen wie den bereits legendären Föderationsbrezeln. Die Star Trek-Weihnachtsvorlesung steigt am Mittwoch, 19.12.2007 (Sternzeit: -315033,4) um 19 Uhr (Einlass 18 Uhr) im Audimax des FH-Standortes Zweibrücken AP/F Anzeig EXKLUSIVER SCHIFFSFONDS!

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

  • The History of Star Trek
    The History of Star Trek The original Star Trek was the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), a US TV producer and scriptwriter. His idea was to make a TV series that combined the futuristic possibilities of science fiction with the drama and excitement of TV westerns (his original title for the series was ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’). Star Trek was first aired on American TV in 1966, and ran for three series. Each episode was a self-contained adventure/mystery, but they were all linked together by the premise of a gigantic spaceship, crewed by a diverse range of people, travelling about the galaxy on a five-year mission ‘to explore new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’. Although not especially successful it attracted a loyal fan-base, partly male fans that liked the technological and special effects elements of the show. But the show also attracted a large number of female fans, many of whom were drawn to the complex interaction and dynamic between the three main characters, the charismatic but impetuous Captain Kirk (William Shatner), the crotchety old doctor McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the coldly logical Vulcan science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). After the show was cancelled in 1969 the fans conducted a lengthy and ultimately successful campaign to resurrect the franchise. Roddenberry enjoyed success with several motion pictures, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); action-thriller Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982); Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and the more comic Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).

  • 25. STAR TREK: GENERATIONS Overture 16-38
    DISC ONE: FILM SCORE 1. Main Title The first six STAR TREK films, despite their varied tones, feature bold and declarative main title cues—energetic anthems that promise high adventure amongst the stars. GENERATIONS takes a more reflective and subdued approach, opening with a splash of shimmering, synth-enhanced textures and a mysterioso four-note device (a variant of what will become the film's threat motive). As a lone champagne bottle arcs through the vacuum of space, clustered tones swell majestically under the title, and a quasi-religious chorus wordlessly voices McCarthy’s theme for the paradisiacal Nexus. The threat motive variant resurfaces briefly, before swirling harp and keyboard usher in an ennobling melody for trumpet. This is the first of McCarthy’s “captain’s themes,” used to represent Starfleet and its lofty ideals. Ascending figures culminate in joyous French horn exclamations of Alexander Courage’s classic STAR TREK fanfare from the original television series, as the bottle shatters against the hull of the USS Enterprise-B. 2. Past Glory Mark tree and harp glissandi maintain the dreamlike atmosphere as Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) step onto the bridge of the new Enterprise, where Captain John Harriman (Alan Ruck) greets them as honored guests. The Courage fanfare plays softly as Kirk takes in the scene, moving into a statement of the Starfleet theme as Chekov introduces Demora Sulu (Jacqueline Kim), the daughter of Kirk’s former helmsman. The cue finishes with a gentle horn line as Kirk contemplates the rapid passage of years.

  • Popular Imagination and Identity Politics: Reading the Future in Star Trek: Next Generation
    Western Journal of Communication, 65(4) (Fall 20011, 392-415 Popular Imagination and Identity Politics: Reading the Future in Star Trek: The Next Generation Brian L. Ott and Eric Aoki Through an analysis of the popular syndicated television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, this essay begins to theorize the relationship between collective visions of the future and the identity politics of the present. Focusing on the tension between the show's utopian rhetoric of the future and its representational practices with regard to race, gender, and sexuality, it is argued that The Next Generation invites audiences to participate in a shared sense of the future that constrains human agency and (re)pro­ duces the current cultural hegemony with regard to identity politics. The closing section calls for critics to continue politicizing mediated images that appeal to popular imagi­ nation and to develop and implement a pedagogical practice of counter-imagination. TAR TREK-by which we mean the four dramatic television series, S the animated cartoon, the nine full-length motion pictures, the hundreds of novels and comics, the multi-million-dollar-a-year mer­ chandizing industry of toys, games, recordings, and clothing, the un­ precedented exhibit at the National Air and Space Museum in Wash­ ington D.C., the science modules developed for teaching elementary school children about physics and medicine (Mestel, 1994; Anthony, 1994), the special topics courses at colleges and universities (Nagler, 1994), and the three distinctive fan co-cultures of Trekkers, Trekkies, and slash novelists each with their own annual conventions (Tulloch & Jenkins, 1995; Bacon-Smith, 1992; Penley, 1997)-has been entertain­ ing audiences, young and old, for forty years now.
