I'm working on my two presentations for the Shatner celebration at @startrektour while William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy sing to me -- as you do.
If anyone here will be in Ticonderoga at the end of June, let me know, and say hi during the weekend.

I wasn’t going to reply, because I am perfectly happy for people to like Constitution. We are all fans and, as I wrote, I too believed the Enterprise was Constitution when I was a kid, because 70s fandom told me so. But I respect your knowledge and passion... 1/4

But, am I correct that you are placing that drawing, created during the heat and hurry of making an episode, above Matt Jefferies' own illustration of the ship, the show bible created by Gene Roddenberry, and the writing literally on the wall of every bridge scene? 3/4

I will drop this soon but, again, I am genuinely interested in what other knowledgeable fans think.
For me, the debate begins and ends with the statements of the guy who created the show and the guy who designed the ship. And they could not be clearer. 4/4

I struggle with this.
I love the minutiae, trivia and production history, and caring about that protects the essence of Star Trek.
But, constant “Well, actually…” nitpicking can drain the fun from this thing, and leads to arguments with others who love this. And that’s bad.
CANON AND CONSISTENCY. I think TOS is surprisingly self-consistent, especially in comparison with other tv shows of the era, and I appreciate the world building it establishes, but of course it has many little contradictions that make the idea of “canon” a bit slippery…

Prompted by repeated sightings, even from knowledgeable #StarTrek fans, I feel compelled to say again: the Enterprise is not a Constitution-class ship.

I solved a display problem in my #StarTrek room — with $16 worth of lumber and a bit of creativity.
If you collect figures and are short on space, this post is for you. collectingtrek.ca/2026/04/21…

I totally forgot I made this. I must have had way too much free time on my hands.

Modern #StarTrek trading cards are great: high-quality images, informative text, and special cards like costume, autograph, sketch, etc.
But give me the wacky, made-up 1960s and 1970s cards any time. Here's a fun one from Primrose. See the full set here: collectingtrek.ca/2022/03/16…

The Land The Shuttlecraft Galileo Kickstarter campaign from @startrektour just collected my pledge -- and the campaign was a huge success, raising $294,582 on a $100,000 goal.
I am thrilled I contributed and I can't wait to see her in Ticonderoga. (The image displays C$.)

"This and $1.50 will get you a bus ride."
John Wheeler, Gav in Journey to Babel, died recently.
He often showed a self-deprecating humor when he signed autographs.
Here is my tribute to a working actor who the #StarTrek community did not know well: collectingtrek.ca/2026/03/03…
