[trekradio] Destination Star Trek Preview
The Trek Radio crew arrived in Frankfurt, Germany early Thursday morning and have been busy ensuring our audience gets an exclusive sneak peek at the festivities for Destination Star Trek Germany. Set-up started at 7:00am local time in Frankfurt. Everyone involved has been working extremely hard to get the whole convention constructed on time.
The amount of progress truly shows. The event coordinators commissioned the construction of a Star Trek The Next Generation bridge for this very event. It was almost fully set up when our team began their tour of Hall 3.1. The two Stages (A and B) have working sound and are just waiting on microphones to be put in place. The Klingon lounge is being assembled with warrior weapons, comfy seats (not made of metal) and lots of Klingon decor. The booths are coming along nicely with a few just finishing up on final presentation ready for fans to view and buy merchandise. All in all the whole event looks absolutely amazing and the building itself offers a lovely sci-fi feel to it.
During the Warriors’ Den on Thursday evening, Miss Risa called in via Skype to give our listeners an update on her trek to Frankfurt as well as all the panels and activities we will be covering during the convention. You can listen to Risa’s road report on our On-Demand page.
Throughout the weekend, Trek Radio’s very own Miss Risa, Zach and Phelpster will be provide coverage of the event via Twitter, photos, and videos which will be posted on our special page for Destination Star Trek Germany: http://ift.tt/1l4oeFk . Be sure to check the page often for updates.

[trekradio] First Time Trekker Tweets Trek
For decades fans of Star Trek and science fiction have expressed their fandom in numerous ways, and in this digital age of online interaction fans have even more outlets to share their passions. One of these outlets is Twitter.
As long-time Trek fans discuss and debate their favorite franchise, @FirstTimeTrek Tweets about Star Trek as she is seeing it for the first time. Describing herself as a “geek who has never seen Star Trek,” “First Time Trekker” Andi decided to watch all of Star Trek and Tweet about it as she watches the episodes. Beginning with Star Trek: The Next Generation, she has Tweeted comments, questions, and jokes often accompanied by screencaps of the related scenes. Her sense of humor (which often includes “colorful metaphors” and adult language) and fresh perspective on the episodes has led to nearly unanimous support from long-time fans who follow along with her Tweets reliving the episodes and anticipating her reactions to memorable moments. While celebrating all that makes Star Trek great, she also pulls no punches in pointing out the plot holes and problems with some episodes.
First Time Trekker has enjoyed the majority of Trek she has watched so far; and has created a list of her top ten favorite episodes of TNG, as well as a few of her least favorite (in no particular order).
Most Favorite:
- Measure of a Man
- Best of Both Worlds
- The Wounded
- Darmok
- The Outcast
- I, Borg
- Lower Decks
- Deja Q
- Dark Page
- All Good Things
Least Favorite:
- Code of Honor
- Angel One
- Skin of Evil
- The Child
She has finished the entire TNG series and has started watching the original (remastered) Star Trek series. After TOS she intends to watch the TOS and TNG films before moving to the remaining television series.
Below are a few Tweets as examples.
Okay, so. I'm ready. This is what I know about Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wil Wheaton wears bad sweaters… that's it, really.

I love that Picard is trying to bribe the Admiral into not hating him with watercress sandwiches. It's unbearably Picard. #TNG #StarTrek
