  • Data's First Christmas
    DATA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS RON STEIN DATA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS "Geordie, can you explain the concept of "Christmas Spirit" to me?" Geordie LaForge looked up from his snack, and smiled at the innocent, quizzical look on the face of his android friend Data. "Here we go again!" he thought. The two of them were sitting in their favorite booth in Ten-Forward, the crew lounge of the Federation Starship Enterprise. The two met like this just after their watch ended nearly every day. Geordie would grab a quick snack, and then they'd spend time chatting with friends, or just people watching. Ten-Forward was an ideal spot for this, with its near constant hum of activity. It was the cultural heart of the ship. For Geordie, people watching served the same purpose that it had for young men since time began. For Data, it was an education. "Why do you ask, Data? I mean, what brought this up?" "It is something I have noticed in the past, and I am observing it again here on board the Enterprise: as the Christmas anniversary approaches, beings of many races and faiths become kinder toward one another, and they seem happier. This is called "The Christmas Spirit". I do not understand." Geordie wondered briefly how an android managed to look perplexed, then asked "Data, how much do you know about Christmas?" Knowing Data's proclivity for detail, he quickly added "Just a summary, please. I've already read the Bible." "Of course, I too have read the Bible, as well as many other works associated with Christianity and the legend of Christ.

  • Beyond the Final Frontier: Star Trek, the Borg and the Post-Colonial
    Beyond the Final Frontier: Star Trek, the Borg and the Post-colonial Lynette Russell and Nathan Wolski Over the last three decades, Star Trek has become, to use Bernardi's term, a "mega-text" (1998: 11). Star Trek's mega-text consists of much more than the various studio-produced television series and films - it also includes (among other things) novels, Internet chat groups, conventions and fanzines. That Star Trek's premise of space exploration is a thinly disguised metaphor for colonialism has been extensively analysed (see Bernardi, 1998; Hastie, 1996; Ono 1996; Richards, 1997). Boyd describes the utopian future presented in Star Trek the Next Generation (STNG) as based on "nineteenth-century essentialist definitions of human nature, building ... on faith in perfection, progress, social evolution, and free will" (1996: 96-97). Exploration, colonisation and assimilation are never far from the surface of the STNG text. Less apparent, however, are aspects of the series which challenge the hegemonic view of this narrative and which present a post-colonial critique. In this paper we will explore a range of post-colonial moments and an emerging self reflexivity in the second generation series, focusing on those episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation (STNG) and Star Trek: Voyager which feature an alien race known as the Borg. Others in space Much has been written about the role of the alien in science fiction as a means of exploring issues of otherness. As Wolmark notes: "Science fiction provides a rich source of metaphors for the depiction of otherness and the 'alien' is one of the most familiar: it enables difference to be constructed in terms of binary oppositions which reinforce relations of domination and subordination" (1994: 2).

Nick: Which one? Emily: The guy who plays Guy. Nick: Oh yeah, yeah. Guy, the guy named Guy. Matt: Sam Rockwell. Nick: Sam Rockwell. Matt: Yeah. Sam Rockwell has been in a ton of stuff. Emily: Sure. Apparently he's in a ton of stuff. Nick: Oh. And they actually based Guy's character on a real person who worked on Star Trek and played multiple roles and never had a name. And that actor's name is Guy. Emily: Stop. Is he really? Nick: 100 percent. Intro music in and under Nick: Page 1 of 8 Welcome to the final episode of AirSpace, season three from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. I'm Nick. Matt: I'm Matt. Emily: And I'm Emily. Matt: We started our episodes in 2020 with a series of movie minis and we're ending it kind of the same way, diving into one of the weirdest, funniest and most endearing fan films of all time, Galaxy Quest. Nick: The movie came out on December 25th, 1999, and was one of the first widely popular movies that spotlighted science fiction fans as heroes, unlike the documentary Trekkies, which had come out a few years earlier and had sort of derided Star Trek fans as weird and abnormal. Galaxy Quest is much more of a love note to that same fan base.

  • Star Trektm Starfleet Academy Lands at Liberty Science Center
    STAR TREKTM STARFLEET ACADEMY LANDS AT LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience Opens in Jersey City on October 28 Jersey City, NJ (October 23, 2017) – The Starfleet Academy is boldly going where no starship has gone before – Jersey City! Starting October 28, 2017, Liberty Science Center will be home to Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience, an interactive exhibition that immerses its visitors in the iconic science fiction franchise. The exhibition offers visitors the chance to experience life as a Starfleet Academy cadet, as they attend the Academy’s Career Day in the 26th century. After student orientation, cadets visit multiple zones focused on the training center’s specialties: Language, Medical, Navigation, Engineering, Command and Science. Following these interactions, cadets are assigned a specialty and a zone based on their individual training. Not only do participants have the opportunity to become a Starfleet cadet, but they also learn the actual science of the emerging technologies behind the fiction, such as a functional tricorder, NASA’s warp drive theory, and the latest experiments with phasers and teleporters. “We are excited to bring Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience to LSC,” said Paul Hoffman, President and CEO of Liberty Science Center. “Star Trek has had a profound influence on the technologies we use today, as well as what is envisioned for years to come. To LSC, this exhibit means inspiring learners young and old with the future of what is possible in the world of science and technology.” Visitors will be inspired to rediscover their inner fandom with interactive activities and unique technology, including Leap Motion, voice recognition to communicate with a Klingon, a Medical Tricorder table using radio frequency identification technology (RFID) sensors, planet project mapping, holograms, and a shooting game using Star Trek’s iconic phasers.
