Oh, happy birthday dude!

As much as I would like a Star Trek title, I'll be sittin this giveaway out.

My favourite Star Trek movie is First Contact, mainly due to being a huge fan of TNG and the Borg in general, but also because it has the strongest plot and dialogue by far of all the TNG films. Stewart and Spiner being particularly outstanding here.

Favourite series is probably Deep Space Nine if i'm honest though, for as much as I love TNG, once DS9 finds it's footing after the first few glacial seasons it becomes an engrossing show, I particularly enjoy all the time spent delving into Klingon lore.

Thank you for the giveaway. I'm in for both main prizes.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, aka Moby Dick in Space is my favourite of the films and set the scene for almost a century of sartorial elegance. The same uniforms worn by Picard when commanding the USS Stargazer, 80 years later.

It is one the few Star Trek story lines that could work as an opera, although I think I will draw the line at a Star Trek 2 themed funeral though

Ironically, Khan does quote Moby Dick as his ship blows up. The "I Curse at Thee" line is from that novel.

Thank you for organizing another nice giveaway with many prizes to choose from.

1. My favorite Star Trek film is Star Trek (2009), which I think is great entry for "newcomers". It was my first movie of the franchise, had an interesting story and great cast. Have seen all new Star Trek movies after that. Have yet to see the original classics, which I heard good things about.

The more the merrier, I would like to enter for all the prize draws available, with a "secret" to aim for RtCW, which never seems to get more than 70% discount in recent years. Thank you again!

Orkhepaj: 1 My faw Star Trek series is Enterprise, I like how it is just normal adventures no war or lame borg.
I don't know, the entire third season of Enterprise with that Xindi arc was kind of a war story (with Archer even threatening suspects with torture).
They also did have one Borg episode:

According to Wiki they even had plans for another one during the fifth season, which would have shown the origins of the Borg queen. Sounds like a terrible idea tbh.

Congratulations on your upcoming birthday!
I'll be singing happy birthday to you twice every time I wash my hands.


My favorite character is Natasha "Tasha" Yar from TNG. Because her hair style's all the rave in the early 90. She was also a badass chief of security.

Well, if I win a free trip to space from Virgin Galactic, I would definitely take as many selfie as possible. Even a century later, I don't think many people can easily go into space, so I want those selfies on my tombstone.

Both the movie and the song are legend. I'm happy to get invited to this birthday party, so many prizes, but hopefully the party is not on a hill.


I'm in for Trek Game credit and opt out of Shadow Man draw.

First and foremost, congrats to your real-life level-up! Though I'm pretty sure the cake is a lie.

I'd like to be in for Elite Force II.

From all the Star Trek series I liked Deep Space Nine most. The reason is that because it plays on a space station there is a far greater sense of continuity in the story. While the other series were very good too the episodes often felt disconnected and only sometimes referenced something that happened in the past. And I prefer a series to have a bigger story arc that connects the episodes.

The song is great, it is one of the very few examples where a genius song has a cover that is at least as good as the original. To mention a few more songs with great covers that come to my mind:

1) Paint it black:
original (Rolling Stones): www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVrdXUHvsF0
Cover (Ciara): www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYPWxymohWs

2) I'm still standing:
original (Elton John): www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwVBirqD2s
cover (Taron Egerton): www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHZneOidj9A

3) Holding out for a hero:
original (Bonnie Tyler): www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWcASV2sey0
cover (Jennifer Saunders): www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_HjMIjzyMU

4) Go West:
original (Village People): www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wc-AQJ2MYo
cover (Pet Shop Boys): www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNBjMRvOB5M

5) Don't let me be misunderstood:
original (Nina Simone): www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_HjMIjzyMU
cover 1 (The Animals): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7RTUEZMyg
cover 2 (Santa Esmeralda): www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hwiCkU73NA

6) The House of the Rising Sun
(The original author is unknown since this song has been known as a folk song for over 100 years. I consider the 'original' to be the most famous version from (at least somewhat) modern history, if you can call the 60s that. ;-) )

original (The Animals): www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fy7opKu46c
cover (Santa Esmeralda): www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkgIlXqIfzk


Have fun listening to some amazing music!

Not really in but Happy Birthday!!

I saw the original series on TV, I don't remember it that much but I've seen almost every movie. I have no cinematic predilection for any but Star Trek VI is a good movie.

Space, the last frontier...... goosebumps;)

Main theme is awesome.

Happy Birthday Mate!!
Hope you have a great one!

I'm in for startrek game, Shadow man, Party favors and Rep

My favorite star trek series is either Deep space 9 or Star Trek the Next Generation, I haven't played any of the games yet except Star Trek online but there was a bug that prevented me from getting past the tutorial.

I would go to space I would think.

I celebrated my birthday by going to the aquarium with my family, no friends sadly because all my friends live on the other side of the country (USA)

Happy Birthday! And thanks for generosity.

My favorite was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it seems this TV series I watched when I was a child. I remember that I started watching it from the moment when I saw Jeffrey Combs with big ears, And thought something like "wow cool, this guy from the Reanimator movie".

I'm in for Star Trek Credit (I heard Mr Combs was voice actor for some ST video games, thats cool) and in for Party Favors.

Happy upcoming birthday!

Thank you for the giveaway. I would like to be in for the Star Trek credit and a few of those Party Favors.

My favorite Star Trek episode is TNG's Measure of a Man because it presents a philosophical debate in a way that makes you feel passionate. And Brent Spiner's acting was superb.

If I could go to space I would love to visit a colony on Mars. When I was a kid I was convinced wr would have already sent explorers there by now. Our space program is too far behind if we are to ever catch up with Star Trek.
