Watts Autumn Skye-Boothe Michael Dorn Dominic Keating Walter Koenig Cirroc Lofton Robert Picardo

TREK 003	*The TrekTrak* Show featuring George Takei Inside the Actors Studio meets The Tonight Show in this unique programming event where TrekTrak** Director Eric L. Watts* will interview the legendary "Mr. Sulu," George Takei,* in a one-on-one format similar to a late-night talk show.	Eric L. Watts George Takei
TREK 004	*The TrekTrak* Trivia Challenge** Think you know your Star Trek trivia? You'd better know more than just that to win this all-new double-or-nothing trivia challenge, where contestants will score points by correctly answering Star Trek trivia questions---but must correctly answer a similar mundane trivia question to keep them! It's fantasy vs. reality in this high-IQ geekfest! Fabulous prizes for the winner!
TREK 005	The Missing Minority: "Blood and Fire" Star Trek: Phase II (formerly Star Trek: New Voyages) is bringing us what we've been demanding for decades: openly gay characters in live-action Star Trek, by way of David Gerrold's unused script for The Next Generation, "Blood and Fire," revised and updated for modern audiences. With filming wrapped and the episode now in post-production, will it be the sensitive and tolerant portrayal of homosexuality that has been so conspicuous in its absence for so long, or will it be rejected as inconsistent with the ubiquitous heterosexuality that has exemplified Star Trek's morality for 40 years?	Ben Alpi Joël Bellucci Brian Holloway Carlos Pedraza
TREK 006	Keela & Katkith's Klingon Karaoke Join Keela and Katkith for Klingon Karaoke, an intergalactic songfest experience! Over 2,000 selections of '70s and '80s music, plus a few surprises! Sing in Klingon if you can, but the hu-Man tongue is acceptable. Come enjoy karaoke like never before! TODAY is a GOOD day to SING!	*Keela & Katkith*
TREK 007	The Rainbow Flag Party TrekTrak and Atlanta Outworlders* cordially invite all members of the GLBT community at DragonCon to a dance party featuring hot music from the '70s, '80s and '90s! Come and make new friends and enjoy some good old-fashioned Southern hospitality! Cash bar available... bring your own Rainbow Flag!
TREK 008	The Music of Star Trek Alexander Courage. Jerry Goldsmith. James Horner. Dennis McCarthy. Leonard Rosenman. Russell Watson? From the iconic opening riff to the unmistakeable Klingon fanfare, *TrekTrak* explores and celebrates the orchestral contributions of these legendarly composers and performers to the Star Trek franchise.	Larry Chalkley David Churvis Brooke Perry
TREK 009	Designing the 23rd Century A discussion of the contributions of Matt Jeffries, Wah Chang and Bill Theiss to the worlds of Star Trek. These talented men created the ships, props and costumes that defined the 23rd century. How did they do it? What impact did their collective work have on other televised science fiction, future Trek productions and the "real" world?	Larry Chalkley
TREK 010	*Star Trek: Phase II* Star Trek: Phase II (formerly Star Trek: New Voyages) is a fan-created, fan-produced series set in the fourth year of the original series' five-year mission, released exclusively via the Internet, which has recently featured George Takei* and* *Walter Koenig* in their original roles as Lt. Sulu and Ensign Chekov. The series has garnered international attention, a tremendous amount of critical acclaim---and even Paramount's blessings. Come see what all the excitement is about!	Ben Alpi Joël Bellucci Keith R. A. DeCandido *Walter Koenig* Brian Holloway Carlos Pedraza George Takei Eric L. Watts
TREK 011	Star Trek Online Simming Star Trek fans looking for a creative outlet for fan fiction and role-playing will enjoy this discussion by veteran role-players about the electronic world of online simming. Learn about live chat sims, play-by-email groups and message board role-playing.	Joshua P. Dease Dan Fowler Charles Hammer Kelly Rowles
TREK 012	**Star Trek vs. Battlestar Galactica** With three seasons in the can and the fourth and final season now in production, the new Battlestar Galactica series has enjoyed critical acclaim and viewer ratings like Star Trek hasn't seen in... well, a generation. What is Galactica doing that is so right? What should Paramount---and J. J. Abrams---be learning from Galactica's phenomenal success? Has BSG set the bar too high for the next Star Trek TV series to reach?	Joël Bellucci Joshua P. Dease Richard C. Livingston Kevin R. Grazier Carlos Pedraza
TREK 013	Reinventing Star Trek: Back to the Future? It worked fabulously for Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: New Voyages, hit-and-miss with the Superman and Batman movies, and failed horribly with the Lost in Space and I, Robot movies. Remaking, reinventing or "reimagining" a classic franchise is a risky proposition. Will J. J. Abrams' new vision of Star Trek launch the franchise forward, or kill any possibility of another Trek series?	Joël Bellucci Joe Crowe Andrew Greenberg Carlos Pedraza David Reddick John C. Snider
TREK 014	Star Trek Authors Cavalcade Star Trek novelists Peter David, Keith R. A. DeCandido, Terri Osborne* and* *Josepha Sherman* collectively discuss their published pride and joy as well as the perils and pitfalls of writing new fiction in the Star Trek universe.	Peter David Keith R. A. DeCandido Terri Osborne Josepha Sherman
TREK 015	TrekTrak Presents: Peter David Possibly the world's most prolific Star Trek writer, Peter David has written dozens of Trek novels, scripted at least as many Trek comics, authored countless Trek-related articles and short stories, and assisted with James Doohan's autobiography.

Eric Avari Brad Dourif Phil Morris
TREK 017	Star Trek Comic Books? What? Again? IDW and TokyoPop are the latest in a long line of publishers who have taken a shot at Star Trek comics. What are they doing to differentiate from Gold Key, Marvel (the first time), DC (both times), Marvel (the second time), Malibu and WildStorm?	Peter David Keith R. A. DeCandido David Reddick
TREK 018	*The TrekTrak* Show featuring Avery Brooks Inside the Actors Studio meets The Tonight Show in this unique programming event where TrekTrak Director Eric L.
