schlangomat Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 can someone tell me, what´s going on with the announcement with the other captains??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's been way too long now since any new guest announcements have been made. At the moment I only have three must meet and I am delaying purchasing tickets incase they get cancelled. Come on SM it is the 50th anniversary! There needs to be a lot more guests! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done exactly the same. Purchased photos for my top three but I'm hanging fire on purchasing any more until we have a more concrete idea on the final line up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexPicard Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) We could really use a few more good guests. I'd like to humbly suggest: Daniel Davis - Moriarty, TNG Whoopy Goldberg - Guinan, TNG (She does fly nowadays, would be a golden opportunity for DST50) Diana Muldaur - Dr. Pulaski, TNG Nana Visitor - Kira Nerys, DS9 Edited August 16, 2016 by Alex Picard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrorabbit Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I was just listening to the interview with Nana Visitor on the official Star Trek podcast and the host who is attending DST50 asked if she was going too and she said she hasn't been invited but would love to go if asked. Seems like a no brainer. She'd be a wonderful addition to the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightieskid83 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'd love to see Captain Sisko / the Emissary - Avery Brooks himself make an appearance!

asl Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) With it being so close to the event, can we realistically expect more guest announcements? Edited August 23, 2016 by asl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The event is still several weeks away, there is plenty of time for more announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annick Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 But can people plan everything in such a short time? They don't seem to think about this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 But can people plan everything in such a short time? They don't seem to think about this.. They do, lots of good guests early equals lots of ticket sales not many guests equals not so many ticket sales. Showmasters are aware of this. I don't know why they haven't announced other guests, I don't work in the office and I've never negotiated guest contracts, so I don't know what is going on, if it's just difficult to tie people down or if there is other stuff going on. But Showmasters are aware that a lot of people can't just drop everything a couple of weeks before the event if they suddenly announce a load of guests. I'm sure that they too would like everything sorted out nice and early for everyone's sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmwheels Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Which begs the question: Given that this is supposed to be Europe's biggest celebration, in Trek's biggest year, why do we have fewer guests at this point than DST3, having had no guests / talks announced for 11 weeks, and only 6 weeks to go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have doubts that they think about it... Hotels can run out of beds... Trains / flights can be full / non bookable... Of course they are aware of that Annick. Doesn't mean they can necessarily do anything about it though. As I said I've never organised an event so can't give you a reason, maybe it's harder to get the guests this time. There are a lot of signing events that go on around the world so between that and work the guests may have it may be harder this time to pin down people to attend in a timely fashion. I don't disagree with you that it's hard for the attendees as people aren't going to book expensive travel options on the guess that more guests may attend, and that therefore by the time they do announce people your previous travel options may then be too expensive or booked up like you say, I'm just trying to say that the organisers aren't idiots, they are aware of their market base and that its international for these big events, not local, and that these things are issues that will limit their ticket sales so I highly doubt it's something they do deliberately.

Annick Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Let's just say that if they do are aware of it, they do a lousy job in showing it.. With so many questions from our side and the complete silence from them.... It couldn't hurt to tell SOMEthing. (Perhaps when to expect something news, or something like that - and not like the last message they've posted on Facebook with "it's going to be great" or something like that, and nothing more. Because many people disagree on that.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of attending on the Saturday but there's no list of who is doing talks on the Saturday. The Enterprise stage talks are supposed to be ticketed but with just six weeks to go there are no talk tickets available for purchase. I'm not going to buy an entry ticket until I can at least provisionally plan out what I'm going to be doing on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimatequinoxe Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Is there something wrong with John De Lancie? I can't see that anyone else has suggested him as a guest which begs that very question? Personally, I'd love a chance to meet the guy. Q was always a favourite character of mine across TNG and Voyager. Edited August 24, 2016 by Ultimatequinoxe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annick Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Not that I know of :-). And indeed he is a nice guy. Seen him short during the introduction time of all the guests during dstl 2012. [off] and currently I see him on a dvd from "Charmed" were he has a role in too, always fun to see him in any part. [/off] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsoldierspoon Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Only one captain (who was their last time) and not a single cast member of the new movies. Come on, guys! Pull some strings for these last couple of weeks, it's the 50th anniversary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
