December

29 Dec 2011

Well, it has taken me six years, but here is finally an update to the Warp Propulsion project. The chapter on Warp Speed Measurement is now completed.

27 Dec 2011

I have split the articles about in-jokes and bloopers to allow future expansions, such as present-day devices (game consoles) as props.

25 Dec 2011

Two more TNG season 2 reviews: "The Measure of a Man" and "The Dauphin".

24 Dec 2011

Here is a new article about the Re-Uses of the Little Europe Set. This Universal Studios set appeared in VOY: "The Killing Game" as Sainte Claire and in "Fair Haven" and "Spirit Folk" as Fair Haven. Jörg has identified the portions of Little Europe that are visible and compares them with maps and photos of the set.

23 Dec 2011

Merry Christmas to all visitors!

22 Dec 2011

I have fixed an issue with the JoAT submission form, which at some time stopped accepting file uploads.

16 Dec 2011

New TNG season 2 reviews: "Unnatural Selection" and "A Matter of Honor".

08 Dec 2011

Next round of TNG season 2 reviews: "The Schizoid Man" and "Loud as a Whisper".

01 Dec 2011

See a new big article about Space Art in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Jörg has compiled an illustrated list of all space-related paintings in TNG. With the support of Rick Sternbach, Dave Archer and Mike Okuda we could find out what exactly is depicted on most of them and what they were originally created for (sometimes for covers of sci-fi magazines and books).

 

November

30 Nov 2011

Two more TNG season 2 reviews: "Elementary, Dear Data" and "The Outrageous Okona".

26 Nov 2011

Some new renders of my old creations: Kremlin class, Detroit class and Asia class. Thanks to Melchor and Thomas!

19 Nov 2011

EAS is on Google+ Pages. There's not yet much to see, and I still have to wait for someone to develop a tool to transfer RSS news to this new social network.

15 Nov 2011

Due to a full disk the guestbook and add-a-link databases got deleted, and I had to switch to backups. Sorry, I too hope some day the server will work properly.

04 Nov 2011

Star Trek Prop, Costume & Auction Authority wins an EAE Award. Congratulations!

 

October

30 Oct 2011

Jörg has worked out a new article on Newspaper Pages in Star Trek. More precisely, the article identifies pieces of generic filler text, their true origins (among which one is quite a surprise) and their reappearances throughout 30 years.

27 Oct 2011

Beginning with my TNG season 2 reviews: "The Child" and "Where Silence Has Lease".

19 Oct 2011

In another chapter of the neverending story of the server move, I have fixed an issue with posting in the Guestbook.

New Poll: How much should be changed in TNG Remastered?

12 Oct 2011

"Conspiracy" and "The Neutral Zone" conclude my TNG Reviews of the first season.

09 Oct 2011

The server move was a good time to do some housekeeping and to tend to my long open items list. I have updated more than a dozen articles in the Investigations and the Starship Articles sections with visitor suggestions, and replaced most photos of the TOS Main Characters with better ones.

02 Oct 2011

Two more TNG Reviews: "Symbiosis" and "We'll Always Have Paris".

 

September

30 Sep 2011

If you can read this, the DNS transfer to the new IP has taken effect. Further notes.

23 Sep 2011

The reason for the lack of updates in the past couple of weeks is that I am preparing the site for a move to a new server. Tony, my server admin, and I have worked out most bugs by now, and we intend to make the transition almost unnoticeable to the visitors. We'll decide on short notice when to switch the DNS to the new server.

15 Sep 2011

The next two TNG Reviews: "The Arsenal of Freedom" and "Skin of Evil".

08 Sep 2011

Happy 45th Birthday, Star Trek! The very first episode, "The Man Trap", went on air on September 8th, 1966.

06 Sep 2011

Two more TNG Reviews: Here are "Coming of Age" and "Heart of Glory".

27 Aug 2011

The update of the Starfleet Museum is now complete (sooner than expected because I found some extra time). See the enhanced deck layouts by the indefatigable Allen Rolfes in well over 100 images.

26 Aug 2011

The next two TNG Reviews: "Home Soil" and "When the Bough Breaks".

24 Aug 2011

Allen Rolfes has improved his deck layouts for the Starfleet Museum. Replacing them will still take a couple of weeks. Please follow the signs to see what is new so far.

19 Jun 2011

I have to switch EAS to new name servers, which may lead to a short downtime of perhaps two hours.

"The Adversary" concludes my DS9 reviews. And yes, TNG will come next (giving me something to do for the next two years).

April

23 Apr 2011

The new episode "Enemy: Starfleet" of Star Trek Phase II (New Voyages) has just been released. Here is my review.

22 Apr 2011

It was about time for a complete manual check of all Links, considering that even the best automated tool finds only half of the disguised 404 pages or domain placeholders. One site even turned out to have been hacked.

20 Apr 2011

A display from the Enterprise-D shuttlebay lists no less than 22 shuttles by name, most of which were previously unknown. Thanks to Jörg who pointed me to the auction catalogue.

15 Apr 2011

Message to Firefox 4 users: A new CSS specification to prevent "attacks" based on your browser history disables the change of the color of the little arrows next to external links after visiting: Link. I hate how it looks on EAS when the arrows refuse to switch to the same color as the link text (especially on pages where they remain yellow) but I can do nothing against it. I will have to abandon the tags for external links, develop a new color scheme or put up with the awful color disparity. Read the complete commentary on EAS Today.

14 Apr 2011

Here's the promised update of the Journal of Applied Treknology. See all the Recent Additions at a glance.

11 Feb 2011

I will update the JoAT tomorrow. Find the feedback on the submissions at the SCN.

08 Feb 2011

Gene Roddenberry's original pitch for Star Trek has "resurfaced", at least if we believe the blogger who recently posted the PDF file. The very same file was available at EAS all the time since 2006. (I rescued the pitch from trek5.com when the site went down.) I don't claim ownership of a file that I only re-composed and I don't mind people taking it from EAS, even if they neglect to give me proper credit. But the old news got reposted in several hundred (!) blogs and on all the big Trek news sites. In light of the fact that something from an obscure blog is hyped in the blogosphere as well as in fan circles, rather than the same content on a major Trek site, I somehow feel let down.

07 Feb 2011

New in the Galleries: several of the great illustrations by Doug Drexler for the Star Trek Encyclopedia II, such as of Vulcan costumes. Please follow the signs.

 

January

30 Jan 2011

I have incorporated new findings on a couple of pages in the Investigations section, such as Re-Used Props - Decoration. Thank you to Michael, Jörg and Jan!

29 Jan 2011

The episode guest reviews have been continually updated. Today I would like to express my special thanks to Chris S, whose many contributions are unusually critical but also quite insightful. Read his recent rant on VOY: "Endgame" (all the way down the page).

27 Jan 2011

Two more DS9 season 3 episodes reviewed: "Defiant" and "Fascination".

23 Jan 2011

New Poll: Pick your favorite DS9 episode if it is among the listed.

19 Jan 2011

The next two reviews of DS9 season 3: "Civil Defense" and "Meridian".

05 Jan 2011

Reviews of two more DS9 season 3 episodes: "Second Skin" and "The Abandoned".

02 Jan 2011
