The Women of Star Trek (Le Donne di Star Trek) In Love Memory (2025) ...

 From Uhura to Michael Burnham. Deanna Troi's composure. The sexy but forbidding Seven of Nine. Captain's Archer's calculating, yet gorgeous Vulcan mentor T'Pol. The formidable Captain Janeway. Brainy B'Elanna - an engineer as combustible as dilithium and anti-matter. The infinite depths of former revolutionary, Major Kira. Not to mention Dr Beverley Crusher, tough-as-nails Tasha Yar, Nurse Capell, Deanna Troi, elfin Kes, Ensign Tilly, Jadzia and Ezri Dax, the relatably cautious Hoshi and so many more. Over almost six decades, the Star Trek has seen a wide spectrum of female characters, all memorable and unique, and here's where you can see them all. There's a vintage snapshot of the legendary Majel Barrett in her very first Star Trek appearance as Captain Pike's Number One. Former beauty queen Persis Khambatta. We also see the Star Trek ladies out of costume or in other non-related productions. What's really great is that this Facebook group does not only pay attention to the familiar ensemble faces that returned week after week to the screen. Notable guest stars are also celebrated for their role in bringing Star Trek to life, such as Suzie Plakson as Worf's lost sweetheart, K'Ehleyr and Rosalyn Landor as the feisty Bringloidi babe, Breena Odell.

Deep Space 9 Lovers

Deep Space 9 Lovers

Deep Space 9 is one of the most finely nuanced Star Trek shows, with a range of complex characters that reflect the diversity of a space-age civilization and shows a socio-political landscape that reaches beyond Star Fleet and Federation culture. It features one of Star Trek's most insidious villains in Gul Dukat, two of the most noble and best loved Klingons in Worf and General Martok, and the most subtle of threats represented by the Dominion. The dialogues and relationships are endlessly fascinating, from the mutual superstition between Odo and Quark, to the enduring friendship between Sisko and Dax, which spans through several incarnations and the delightfully layered bromance between Garak and Bashir. If you're a fan, this Facebook group is the place for you to speculate, share memes, media, memorabilia and fan theories.

Star Trek Memes

 There has to be a lot of Star Trek Memes floating around social media. After all Captain Picard (or was it Commander Riker?) practically invented the facepalm. But there's so much more to the Star Trek memes group than just that famous duo. Beloved characters from the franchise give their take on 21st century situations, but there are also mash-ups and cross-overs that poke fun at other intellectual properties, such as Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and even Barbie. In between there are posts about toys and fan cosplays. Other posts give new takes on well-known plot-holes or cliches or pay tribute to iconic character actors, or supporting technicians such as prop designers. Two really fun memes I enjoyed was Car Talk with Martok, which poked fun at a certain Voyager episode, as well as the Voyager Bingo display, which made me laugh out loud.

Raypunk

The term Raypunk was coined to describe stories and images that hark back to the ideals and plots of classic era science fiction. Think back to the pulp publications of the 1950s and 1960s, to rayguns, little green men and tentacled monsters. It's all there in lurid detail, ranging from classic cover art to high drama among the stars and on distant planets. There are also cartoons featuring Raypunk humor, little digs at Lovecraftian images and thought-provoking fan art that takes its inspiration from Raypunk's retro-futuristic aesthetic. Some of the art is really good and what I liked about this Facebook group that there is a strong tradition of crediting featured artists.

Time Travel

Time is relative and should always be seen as a gift. When the muse speaks and we are functioning at our creative peak, it feels as if its flying faster than the speed of light. When we are waiting for something, it sometimes feels like forever. The solution? When the hours are slowing down, just take out a notebook and start sketching or writing or creating some music and dwell in eternity. Or alternatively, put your mind in a real twist by reflecting on the possibility or impossibility of time travel. Threads on the discussion board include 'Evidence of Time Travel has been Found', 'If time travel was possible, where (when) would you go?', 'Time Doesn't Exist', 'Is time travel really possible?', 'What exactly is Time?', 'Where are the time travelers?', 'TV SERIES' and 'let's share with us movies about time travel...'

What's great about this group: let your imagination go wild with possibilities.

Update (16 April 2024)

There are numerous time travel groups. The largest public one called Time Travel can be found here. 

Automatic Doors Make Me Feel Like A Jedi

The world of science fiction and the imagination of young boys and girls got a huge boost when the first Star Wars movie opened in 1977. While those kids (and a great many who came after) grew up to battle mortgages and recession layoffs, rather than an evil empire, the dream of being an intergallactic hero still rears its head once in a while. This fun group celebrates the way we sometimes kid ourselves to believe that our lives and our actions have far greater reach than they probably do in reality. On the discussion board, you can 'Create your own Jedi/Sith Character', reveal 'Your Jedi/Sith Name?', share suggestions for staging 'Public lightsaber battles' and speculate on your affiliation in 'You know you've passed over to the dark side when....' If you want to talk about the real Star Wars, look at 'The most pointless character in Star Wars' and 'Star Wars Q n A'. There are also threads that cover 'Other situations that make you feel like a Jedi', 'more inventions that make you feel like a jedi ...' and 'What's the most Jedi-like thing you have done?'

What's great about this group: It's fun to dream only a truly grand scale.

A word of caution: If you don't like SciFi, avoid.

Update (29 October 2023)

There is no Facebook group with this name, but there is a Facebook page with the same name. It has 52 followers and can be found here. 

You know you've worked too long in a lab when

Although half the gems in this group are probably wasted on uninformed outsiders like myself, it still makes fascinating reading and, it is sort of a relief that there is a virtual place out there where scientists can let their white coats down and share some fun facts and experiences only fellow scientists can truly appreciate. Threads include 'Best lab smell', 'worst smelling substance', 'Scariest chemical', 'Best colo(u)rs in the lab', 'Scariest Item of Lab Equipment?' and 'worst lab specimen (OR..things that make you go BLARP!)'. When it comes to fellow lab workers, there are discussions on 'What's your pet peeve in the lab?', 'It's easy to spot someone whos new in the lab
because......' and 'What bugs you the most about patients who are having blood drawn?' Wall posts offer possible answers to the question posed in the group name.

What's great about this group: It shows the fun side of science.

Update (29 April 2024)

This group still exists and has remained on topic (well done!). Go here to visit or join. 

Physics doesn't exist, its all gnomes

This is fun. I'm telling you. Take any theory of science you have had to learn through painstaking effort. String theory. Relativity theory. Chaos Theory. What about how things actually work? Digital cameras, for instance, or fireworks. And while we are at it, let us look at psychology and global warming. While we are at it, why stick to what is, when we could move on to what could be? Dark matter and time travel might well be possible in the near future. All we need to do, is to bring in the gnomes. Discussion on this group is centred mainly around what gnomes do for us, have done for us and could do for us. A sampling of threads include 'Gnomes in my bloodstream', 'black hole gnomonics', 'www.gnomopedia.comli.com', 'Eco-Gnome', 'Alcohol gnomes (hic) and their connection to food. All booze gnomes are the same' and The Universe is a Hologram...produced by G(n)omes?' If you think science is way too serious and stuffy, join the group's 66,000 plus members in the fun.

What's great about the group: It represents a fun alternative view of the world as we know it.

Steampunk

The genre now referred to as steampunk may have existed long before its label was termed. Per definition, steampunk includes any fantasy or science fiction setting where steampower still plays a major role, but many fans of steampunk name long-dead authors such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells among their favorites. The group features such fun threads as 'Your Steampunk Alter ego's' and 'Steampunk Slang', but also offers opportunities for enthusiasts to hook up with steampunkers and steampunk events in their area.

What's good about this group: It's a good place to visit if you've caught the steampunk bug or would like to find out what the fuss is all about.
