Star Trek Convention Celebrates The Show's 50th Anniversary (cnet.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the living-long-and-prospering dept.

An anonymous Slashdot reader writes: CNET has a photo gallery with highlights from this year's Star Trek convention, celebrating the show's 50th anniversary. Highlights include a replica of the time portal from Harlan Ellison's City on the Edge of Forever episode, as well as a weird model of the Enterprise made entirely out of balloons. Special guests included former Star Trek actors Jonathan Frakes, Kirstie Alley, Levar Burton, and Whoopi Goldberg. And William Shatner reportedly made "the Captain Kirkiest stage entrance ever made," then talked about everything from Star Wars and The Twilight Zone to Pokemon Go.

    She's the character Shahna from the episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion". Google her to see the costume.

    Ironically, the most likely way for starship captain Shatner to be killed is from being thrown off a horse, as horses are one of his main interests these days.
