STAR TREK HEADLINES

  
TrekTrak is produced by Eric L. Watts, Dragon*Con Director of Star Trek Programming
Mark A. Ozanick, Assistant Director

Dragon*Con 2008 is proud to present TrekTrak for its sixteenth big year!  Whether we're celebrating the Original Series, the animated series, the motion pictures, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager or Enterprise, TrekTrak consistently sets the standard for quality fan programming with its wide variety of discussion topics, unique presentations and guest panels.
Here's What They're Saying About the 2007 TrekTrak!
One of the most popular tracks at Dragon*Con is also its most stalwart, hitting the 15-year mark in 2007.  That is "TrekTrak," which from the beginning has been run by local fan club organizer Eric L. Watts.  TrekTrak has always attracted major celebrities from the Trek universe to help fill its four full days of programming, but Watts also recruits fans and experts from throughout the region to maintain the local flavor of the event.
Dear Eric,
      I wanted to let you know that it was a great pleasure to be involved in TrekTrak as a panelist---thank you for the invitation.  TrekTrak stands far and above the rest as the best organized, most diverse, and arguably the most interesting track at Dragon*Con.  I've been to a lot of conventions---and even produced a number of them---but I have to hand it to you guys, you really pull off a magnificent event, and about forty times the size of anything I've been involved with.  Without a doubt, Eric, you posed one of the best (and funniest) questions to Jonathan Frakes that I've ever heard put to a Star Trek guest at a question and answer session!
     Dragon*Con overall---and TrekTrak in particular---are amazing undertakings.  I'm already planning on coming back next year and hope that you will keep me in mind to sit on any panels you think appropriate.

Eric,
      I just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to participate in your Dragon*Con TrekTrak panels.  I had a great time.  This was my third Dragon*Con and it was absolutely the best year yet.
Larry Chalkley
Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You for having Frakes, McFadden & Spiner.  That rocked!
      Thanks for organizing a great TrekTrak this year!  I'm sure many others appreciated it as well.  Hope to be back next year.
Michael Rivera
Congrats on another succesful Dragon*Con and helping me be a part of it!!

Hi Eric,
      I just wanted to send a note to thank you for doing a wonderful job of hosting the Star Trek celebrity panels.  You provided great entertainment as well as guiding us and the celebrities through an hour of fun.  This was my first Dragon*Con and I must say I was quite impressed with... well... everything.  Thanks again!
Beth McNutt
The TrekTrak continues to be one of the best-run tracks at Dragon*Con, and one that is always an absolute joy to participate in.  I tend to hop back and forth among a lot of different tracks at D*C, but Eric and his merry crew always make the TrekTrak feel like home, and that's greatly appreciated.

Eric,
      I had a great time.  I think a lot of folks I work with in and out of CBS and various biz would like to hear actual fans sound off and see the exact tone of the restless natives, if you know what I mean.  Also, Miss Klingon and our Trek XI panel, for two, were SRO.  Great job, and great team as always.  I really was blown away by "Miss Klingon."  :-)
Larry Nemecek
Editor, Star Trek Communicator
Hi Eric,
     I wanted to thank you so much for once again putting on an excellent programming track, and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of it. Larry, Brooke and I had an excellent time doing it, and we can't wait to do it bigger and better next year  :)
      I personally feel that the Rainbow Flag Party does a vital service to the GLBT community at Dragon*Con, as it is the only GLBT-themed party on the official program.
Dave Churvis
Eric,
      My daughter and I really enjoyed TrekTrak again this year.  I can only imagine how much work you and your staff put into this.  Please pass along my thanks.  We especially liked the way you got rolled by the folks from ST:TNG.  Those panels were hilarious.  See you next year.
James W. Watts
Eric,
      Amanda and I had a WONDERFUL time.  YOUR hospitality is such a joy to receive.  If I were to thank you a million times it wouldn't be enough to say how much I loved you putting me on the BattleStar vs Trek panel.  I practically pissed myself a fanboy puddle when I was up there!!  Hope to see you soon, my friend.
Charles Root
Lt. Cmdr Montgomery Scott, Star Trek: New Voyages
Hi Eric,
      I just wanted to say, "Job well done!"  Once again, you presented a wonderful Star Trek track at Dragon*Con.  As always, the level of organization and professionalism displayed by you and your staff is an example that the other tracks should attempt to emulate.  Again, well done!

I Love Trek!

We're Looking for a Few Good Fen
The TrekTrak staff is always looking for intelligent, articulate and opinionated fans to sit on and help lead our discussion panels.  If you're not afraid of a microphone or of speaking your mind to a roomful of fellow fans, you just might be someone we're looking for!  If you have spoken as a panelist at a Star Trek or large science fiction convention such as WorldCon before and would like to do so again, you are definitely someone we're looking for!  If you have ever held an office and/or actively served in a Star Trek fan club, or if you have written for, drawn for or helped publish a Star Trek fanzine, we want to hear from you.  In other words, if you have a solid background in Star Trek fandom and at least some degree of "stage presence" (or can fake it), you belong on a TrekTrak discussion panel.  If this is you, please send an e-mail message to Eric L. Watts, Dragon*Con's Director of Star Trek Programming, indicating your desire to serve as a panelist, which panels you're interested in being seated on and a brief description of your fannish experience.
        If you're not interested in being a TrekTrak panelist, but have ideas and suggestions for programming items that you'd like to see, please let us know of them by sending e-mail or joining the TrekTrak Booster Club.  We'll try to make it happen!

Reinventing Star Trek: Back to the Future?
It worked fabulously for Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: New Voyages, hit-and-miss with the Superman and Batman movies, and failed horribly with the Lost in Space and I, Robot movies.  Remaking, reinventing or "reimagining" a classic franchise is a risky proposition.  Will J.

Star Trek: Phase II (formerly New Voyages) and The Missing Minority: TrekTrak presents the World Premiere of "Blood and Fire"
 Star Trek: Phase II is a fan-created, fan-produced series set in the fourth year of the original series' five-year mission, released exclusively via the Internet, which has recently featured George Takei and Walter Koenig in their original roles as Lt. Sulu and Ensign Chekov.  The series has garnered international attention, a tremendous amount of critical acclaim---and even Paramount's blessings.  Their newest episode, "Blood and Fire," is bringing us what we've been demanding for decades: openly gay characters in live-action Star Trek, by way of David Gerrold's unused script for The Next Generation, revised and updated for modern audiences.  Will it be the sensitive and tolerant portrayal of homosexuality that has been so conspicuous in its absence for so long, or will it be rejected as inconsistent with the ubiquitous heterosexuality that has exemplified Star Trek's morality for 40 years?  Find out in this two-and-half-hour event as TrekTrak proudly presents the world premiere of the episode starring Bobby Rice and Evan Fowler in an openly gay relationship.
