Mr. Intellivision, Keith Robinson.

Congratulations to Kevin and David, who won these fabulous prizes!

A combadge, phaser and tricorder that have seen a lot of action since the Enterprise’s mission began.

On the right, my very well-worn 1987 Galoob die-cast Enterprise-D. On the left, my somewhat newer Eaglemoss Enterprise-D.

Okay, yours is bigger: a significantly larger model of the Enterprise-D at the now-extinct Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Okudagrams make everything better. Even pinball.

Your host, as a much younger man, with Star Trek: The Experience’s Ferengi waiter.

Hungry for more Trek talk? Stick around this fall when Discovery premieres.

Vinyl’s place is in…the…kitchen?
