Demora Sulu

Mister Sulu, fire phasers - and, by the way, is that your daughter? Indeed, as a bridge officer on Captain Kirk's Starship Enterprise, Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) is a very busy Starfleet professional.  However, in his personal life, he still found time to have a family.

Mars - Proof of Liquid Water Found On Red Planet

NASA didn't need the starship Enterprise, nor Science Officer Spock to make the fascinating discovery it shared with the world today.  Liquid water is present and flowing on the red planet.


In Star Trek: Generations, we learn that Captain Picard's ancestors were among the first to settle Mars and establish Martian colonies. Now that NASA has confirmed water on Mars, it's only a matter of time to see if they can discover lifeforms - which would be using the precious H2O.  John M. Grunsfeld, NASA's associate administrator for science, told the New York Times, "I can’t imagine that it won’t be a high priority with the scientific community.”, who said a mission in the 2020s could carry experiments to look directly for life.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Duras Sisters - Lursa & B'Etor - Gwynyth Walsh & Barbara March

Klingon sex can be a rough ride.  Take those two gals who were known collectively as the Duras sisters - Lursa (Gwynyth Walsh) and B'Etor (Barbara March).  First seen in the Next Generation episode, Redemption, these bold as brass gals left a lasting impression on fans - if not lasting a terribly long tenure in Gene Roddenberry's universe.


Lursa and B'Etor graduated to co-starring in, Star Trek: Generations (1994), the first feature film showcasing Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his brave Starfleet crew.  Directed by David Carson and written by Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, the Duras sisters enlisted the assistance of Soran (Malcom McDowall) to obtain a trilithium energy weapon to conquer the very Klingon empire itself.  When Soran orders the scheming siblings to destroy the Enterprise 1701-D, Lursa shouts - 'That is a Galaxy class Starship!  We are no match for them!' Dearest Lursa was definitely on to something, indeed.
