Where Guinan Knows Your Name

Sam Malone is a Boston bartender.  Guinan is a galactic bartender. Sam runs Cheers.  Guinan runs Ten Forward.  Both of these lounge operating professionals know your name. 

Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg's Guinan is also the hostess of the hippest place on Captain Picard's Starfleet starship - Enterprise 1701-D.  Guinan knows your name, your drink and your species.  Check her and her friends out in my new article.

Booze In Space

Everybody needs a good, stiff drink now and then, however, the crew of the Enterprise seemed always to be drinking.  The folks over at Deep Space Nine also imbibed quite a bit.  Romulan Ale.  Saurian Brandy.  What is it about space travel that has everyone boozing it up?  

Read about it in my new OMNI article.

Romance Is A Place Called Ten Forward

Name the most romantic spot you've ever had the pleasure of visiting, and I'll bet that Ten Forward has it beat.  The bar or lounge of Captain Picard's Enterprise can serve as a moody relaxation spot, a place for friends to gather after a tough away mission, but with its majestic windows and sweeping views of the whole of the galaxy itself, Ten Forward sets a romantic tone like no other.

It Is Green

In the Next Generation episode, Relics, Scotty, played by James Doohan, asks Data (Brent Spiner) what he's drinking, while they hang out together in the Ten Forward lounge.  Barkeep Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) isn't around, and Data doesn't know the answer, so he simply answers, "It is green."

For Netflix users, all of TNG is now available on the streaming service in glorious HD!  The color of Scotty's green booze has never looked more vibrant and inviting - no matter what it is he's actually drinking.  Check it out!
