Over on my Tor.com Star Trek post I noticed something that I often see but don’t always comment on: the dismissal of Captains Janeway and Sisko (and their shows) as being bad, or mediocre, or not as good as Kirk/TOS, Picard/TNG or even Archer/ENT (wtf?).
I’m used to Janeway hate. Voyager started shaky, founds its footing, [...]
Today on Tor.com I’m mourning the loss of the Prime Star Trek Universe. You know, the one that now only exists in Spock’s memories? It saddens me, because I think Universe Prime deserves a good send-off at the very least. We have yet to see Captain Sisko’s return, perhaps many years later when Admiral Janeway [...]
Therefore I guess I will be seeing it. *weeps for the loss of continuity*
Anyone up for Saturday?
I’ve been wondering this for a while and I’m hoping some of my more gaming-inclined friends can help me out.
This weekend at Comic con the folks behind Champions online and Star Trek online were there drumming up excitement for their games. The Star Trek one looks really cool and the best part seemed to be [...]
Because we spent a good chunk of time talking about Star Trek on Hour of the Wolf, Leah/seaya send me these videos, which I have arranged in a convenient playlist for you. NSFW not just due to some… visual stuff, but also because you will laugh so hard that your boss will totally know [...]
I’m talking someone who knows all the original series episodes really well and can talk excitedly about how awesome they are. If so, please leave a comment. I may need your help.
I just heard the sad news that Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away this morning — she had leukemia.
The elder Mrs Troi was always one of my favorite characters on Star Trek TNG (and later DS9). Still, I can’t help but imagine the awesomeness that would have been had she been allowed to play the [...]
There really wasn’t enough sex in Star Trek: TNG. So these kind people went and put some in.
NSFW in any way.
WikiSurfing — don’t know if that’s an actual term, but that’s what I call it when I look up one thing on Wikipedia that leads me to another, another, and another until it’s 4 hours later. I was wikisurfing a character from Star Trek when I ended up at the page for a classic Trek [...]
In the back of the latest Newsweek there’s a Q&A with Patrick Stewart who is doing The Scottish Play on Broadway soon (or now). Mostly Newsweek Q&As are boring and stupid because whoever is asking the Qs (for this one it’s Nicki Gostin) is a really bad interviewer, for one, and is also insipid [...]
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm famous on the internet, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.

fantatwee: a portmanteau of twee and fantasy; fantasy where the implications of the story and its themes are omitted so that the act of reading is mostly purely palliative.
