Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge

gevmage writes "Gary Reign, a guy with apparently way too much time on his hands, built a home theater in his basement. This is not unusual. However, the room is designed, floor to ceiling, as the bridge of a Star Trek style starship. See his photo page for details."

  3. I've seen this before by Admiral+Frosty · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember reading about this about a year ago. The man in question was so dedicated to his fantasy that he went through bankruptcy and a divorce before he finished it.

    It would have almost been worth it if the teleporter worked.

      That's a different guy. (I think he was in Britain.)

      Why is this modded "Informative"?

      You're thinking of Tony Alleyne, who designed his apartment in grand Trek style.

      Also, just to nitpick, have you ever watched Star Trek? It's "transporter", not "teleporter".

    WRONG! That was Wrath of Khan. In Generations they found out the Enterprise's shield frequency so they could fire a weapon to penetrate them.
