ok you want a trek con ?

[DavidB]

Personally I've never been to a Trek con before, and I don't have a huge collection, so I'd really like some main cast.

 

I think it's necessary to have some, as even though there's obviously a lot of supporting cast that haven't done events, they probably won't pull in a huge amount of people.

 

So there should be a good balance between the two I think.

 

It's tricky to know who exactly the con would have to appeal to - like, for example, do fans of the new Trek movie like the old TV series or not? Stuff like that is pretty important, as there's such a wide fanbase. Trek fans who love EVERYTHING, some who only like a particular series etc.

 

Would people go if they were just into DS9 for example? Or just the new movie? etc.

 

There's a lot to take on board, and I don't envy the decision making on this one.

So glad I can stop singing now

This has the potential to be really exciting..

I'd love to go to a Star Trek convention.

 

I voted for guests from all of the shows. I did enjoy the new film but I'm not really interested in meeting people from it (apart from Quinto), but I wouldn't be put off from going if there were guests from the film as long as there were more guests from other series

 

For the 2nd part of the poll I voted for main and supporting cast, I want to get my Star Trek cast prints all signed Apart from the main cast though I'd like to meet other actors who played memorable and/or recurring roles (e.g. Q/ John de Lancie), I personally wouldn't be too interested in random aliens or crew members who didn't have a big part in the series though.

 

As for the size I voted 600 as I much prefer smaller conventions but I'm not going to decide not to go just because it's big.

[wiccawise21]

too easy -

 

guests from all Star trek films/shows

 

main and supporting cast

 

as big as possible

 

the dude

 

my thoughts exactly!

 

=x=

[Miss Ragamuffin]

would love to have some guests from the new film mainly :-

Chris Pine

Zachary Quinto

Simon Pegg

Karl Urban

Eric Bana

 

just as I havent had a chance to meet any of them, some will probably be harder to get than others I'm sure!

[echo faith]

liking the idea of a Star Trek con - great if they can make it happen

[Rosalind]

DIANA MULDAUR and CORBIN BERNSEN! PLEEEEEASE!

[DS9fan]

I would definetely support a Star Trek convention, and I would add my support for as many guests as possible, the Captains would be an obvious attraction but as mentioned earlier some of the supporting cast have been very good to meet at various Collectomanias at MK.

 

Would like to see Jeffrey Combs, Marc Alaimo, Alexander Siddag, Louise Fletcher, Terry Farrell, Nicole De Boer and Nana Visitor as those are DS9 stars that I have not yet met but I'm interested in meeting stars from the other Star Trek franchises as well.

 

Hope it goes ahead, would be nice if it was in the midlands........

With so many con regulars out there, for a new Trek con to be a big success you probably need to have at least one of the main players from the new film or a few rare UK signers.

 

Alternatively something unique. Recently it was announced Patrick Stewart is doing photo ops (admittedly a small number of them) at a con in Australia in January. I think that would pull people in.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[gxg627]

Anyone from the new film would be awesome and I would most definately attend. Personaly I wouldn't attend a con for the old series and films as I have never watched them but I wish it well if it goes ahead :)

A rare photo op would be great but Patrick's photo op at another con in September in the US will be $200!!!

 

If it were a photo op with Stewart AND Shatner I might go for it.

Oh, come on. Who am I kidding? Of course I would.

 

JG Hetzler and Robert O'Reilly have been doing photo ops of them both dressed as Martok and Gowron - full make up and costume!! They look fantastic. How about something like that?

A photo op with Patrick is a bit of a holy grail for Trek fans and would surely pull in the punters.

 

The fact that he has now started doing them (in limited quantities) is already a bit of a shock.

 

At the one in Austrailia he is $100.00, that equals £50.00 approx.

 

I would pay that.

[sagart]

Indeed it is.

 

 

This one's 14 years old. I wouldn't mind an up to date one.

I think that is an excellent idea- would definetely be a crowd puller - could even get Marc Alaimo and Jeffrey Combs to do the same.

Wow, that's 120 quid. 50 quid at the Australian thing is enough as it is!

 

But you know they could charge 300 dollars and still sell out of tickets!

[Flibble]

I've been going to Trek conventions for over 30 years now, and I voted for a 600 people convention event, as I think they are slightly more personal for the attendees.

 

It would be nice to have some guests from the new film, and I think you could try to invite guests that will appeal to more than one fandom. If you had Zach Quinto and Karl Urban for example you could pull in people who are fans of Heroes and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

 

In a similar vein guests from the TV series' that have appeared in other shows i.e. Connor Trinneer (Stargate Atlantis), John Billingsley (True Blood), George Takei (Heroes), Walter Koenig (Bablyon 5) etc etc.

[lizzy88]

I'd definitely be interested. I voted guests from all shows, a bit of everything guest wise and a smaller event.

 

I'd prefer guests from the TV series as I haven't seen the new film yet, so it doesn't really have any interest for me at the moment - but I don't think it should be ruled out as that would be blocking out the newer fans of just the film. I'd like to have a good mix of guests as it would give it variety, and a smaller event so that it should feel more personal, you wouldn't have a crap view if you were at the back of the talks, and so you'd get more quality time with the guests as there would be less people being ferried through. I just have this vision of it being so rushed if there were over 1000 attendees to get through each day that it wouldn't be very enjoyable and may not be worth the money paid for the amount of time you'd have with the larger guests.

Plus the only big guest I would really be interested in meeting would be Patrick Stewart - I have no interest at all in meeting William Shatner, and I met Leonard Nimoy earlier in the year so he wouldn't be a big draw for me.

[roxy]

I voted all shows but would especially love to see people from TOS/the new film

 

(and ever hopeful to see Shatner & Nimoy together on stage/in photo ops a la the US )

[dwarfbabe]

Been thinking about what this one could be called. There are absolutely loads of possibities but my two favourites would be Star Trek Con: Resistance is Futile and Star Trek Con: The Final Frontier.

 

What does anyone else think it could be called?
