What sitcom would you want to see mashed up with a Star Trek? I’m thinking of Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Bones in The Golden Girls… “Picture it- ShiKahr, 2248…”

Science Facts- weirder than science fiction can ever be, because editors insist that science fiction make sense…

One heck of a 5 year mission! What’s your favourite Original Series moment?

Erin does a lot of threads that will find a place in fannish hearts and headcanons forever.

I recently rewatched Tremors for an anniversary theatrical showing and experienced people hooting & hollering for some of the one-liners, and as someone who has this movie in their top 10 movie favs, it was very rewarding if you don't mind a bit of monster violence, please check it out!! it rules!!

Exciting news- introducing our MarsCon Artist Guest of Honour- Laura Lee Gulledge!

We’re told that the appropriate response to this lesson is “Ulilohvsgi!”

Mmm…. Gagh! It isn’t just for nIQ anymore!
