Doug Drexler recently shared what he enjoyed most during his time working on Star Trek shows.
For Drexler, the thing that stands out most was the friends that he made over the years. “These people are still my friends, and I still work with many of them, too,” he said. Those friends included Mike and Denise Okuda. “I owe [Mike] much for [taking a chance on me], but the friendship that we have, it’s something you can’t put any price on.”

A change in publishers was in order for the 2013 Ships of the Line calendar, which has just been completed.

According to George Takei, Star Trek and Star Wars fans shouldn’t be fighting each other, but instead should be uniting against another fandom.
After the recent online exchange between Star Trek‘s William Shatner and Star Wars‘ Carrie Fisher, Takei decided to jump in with his own opinion on the fandom war, with a three minute video, George Takei is the Broker of Star Peace.
Next month, shooting begins on Star Trek 2, and Simon Pegg knows some details about the plot.
The actor, best-known to Star Trek fans for his role of Scotty, believes that fans will like what they see, too. “It’s more of what we love as Star Trek fans…,” he said. “What’s not to love?”
The Wadi, who like games, make Quark lead the senior crew on a trip through a complicated maze.
Star Trek: Enterprise‘s John Billingsley , who played Phlox on the series, spoke about what made Star Trek great and why Star Trek: Enterprise ended so soon.
According to Billingsley, the future that Star Trek portrayed was a hopeful one. “For me, its success originally came from the idea that it was positing the hope and future for mankind, and (creator Gene) Roddenberry certainly was of a mind that Star Trek was designed to say first and foremost, ‘Yes we can.’ There is a time when different cultures and different races can bury the hatchet and we can find a way through our problems and thrive and grow.”
Another possible gift idea for this holiday season for the Star Trek fan is the Star Trek Starfleet iPhone 4 case.

Star Trek fans know how J.J. Abrams tried to maintain the secrecy of Star Trek XI, but that even extended to the audition process for new actors hoping to appear in the movie.
Jennifer Morrison was tapped to play Winona Kirk, mother of James T. Kirk, in Star Trek XI and her audition reading contained nothing that actually appeared in the movie.
Now that Benecio Del Toro is definitely out for Star Trek 2, other actors are being eyed for the role of the villain in Star Trek 2.
Time is growing short, with filming to commence next month, so J.J. Abrams has lined up several other actors in hopes of finding his villain.
Two candidates are being evaluated; Jordi Molla (Colombiana) and Edgar Ramirez (Carlos). Ramirez is said to be the frontrunner, and he will be testing for the role via Skype this week.
There is still no word as to whether the actor chosen will be playing Khan or some other role.
