We had the incredible good fortune to attend this year's Trekonderoga convention in Ticonderoga, New York--home of the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour!

Featuring Star Trek luminaries like Terry Farrell, Robin Curtis, Ethan Peck, JG Hertzler, and David Frankham, Trekonderoga had a fantastic track of Star Trek content.

At the heart of it, the amazing recreation of the sets from Star Trek--lovingly and meticulously recreated by James Cawley. It was an immersive experience that made you feel like you were really there.

We'll discuss our weekend at this intimate convention and why we'll be back next year! Plus, details about our conversations with Ethan Peck, and details on our standing room only panel!

Previous Episode

Majel Barrett Roddenberry

Our Women of Trek spotlight series continues this week as we take a look at one of Star Trek's original contributors.

She was an absolute force of nature, and in this episode we'll examine the roles played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry in front of the camera, behind the scenes, and in fandom itself.

Number One, Christine Chapel, Lwaxana Troi...even the Enterprise Computer, Majel left an indelible mark on the franchise and created characters that we continue to talk about to this day.

But there was far more than that. Majel was an Ambassador of Trek, especially in the years after Gene passed, and we'll examine that aspect of her life as well, and consider her legacy.

Plus, we'll have a full length preview of the brand new Five Year Mission Podcast at the end of this episode and don't forget about your exclusive FanSets discount code!

Face of the Enemy

This week, we examine what is quite possibly the best Deanna Troi episode in all of Star Trek: The Next Generation!

Romulans...intrigue...defectors...kidnapping...and a surgically altered Deanna?! "Face of the Enemy" debuted in 1993 and it instantly became a favorite of fans everywhere.

Counselor Troi is kidnapped by Romulans and her appearance is changed so she can assume the identity of a Tal'Shiar operative to help dissidents defect to the Federation.

Meanwhile, a traitor to Starfleet returns and brings Jean-Luc Picard a message from Ambassador Spock and the Enterprise becomes part of this crucial mission.

We'll discuss it all in this episode of Trek Geeks! From the development created for Deanna Troi to the amazing performance by Marina Sirtis! We love this episode, and we'll tell you why!

Plus, we'll have news and your weekly FanSets discount code!
