Other dude that commeneted on here (/u/u83rmensch) had it right w/ suggesting Thinkgeek. At least 30% of the links I'll put below are from there. They've got very Trekkie-centric gifts. If you don't like my list, just go to Thinkgeek and search "Star Trek"

Or, consider my suggestions:

  • First off, dump the pinball machine, the Klingon costume and the TOS comics. There's only a thin slice of the Trek fandom that could afford shit like that. And they know exactly what they're looking for and how to get it. A list site isn't going to help them find it.

  • Add in one/some/any of the Eaglemoss Trek replicas. They're part of the a monthly subscription service that mails you an awesome replica of all sorts of different Trek ships from throughout the series, once every month. Or just buy the one you want off of eBay.

  • Throw in a commbadge prop. Everybody loves those.

  • For the canon fan, give 'em Federation: The First 150 years - the narrative-centric version of Star Trek's history

  • For the production fan, give 'em Star Trek Vault: 40 years from the Archives, which stresses the functional and production and merchandising/marketing side of making Trek accessible to the media public.

  • The TNG hoodies are awesome.

  • Thinkgeek and co. had letter openers available, but fuck it. Get a real Bat'leth.

  • This gets into the subjective/opinion/my-2-cents sphere of opinion, which can be dangerous ground for Trekkies...but I think that, if you want to suggest a pretty spot-on and really awesome Trek comic book, you should have a look at the Assimilation^2 2-pack. I loved it.

    This is, in my opinion, a sliiiiightly more Trekkie-suave set of gifts that would surprise and entertain a fan of the series. Not all Trekkies think alike, so I'd expect a few folks might disagree with some of my suggestions, but I feel like this better represents stuff Trekkies haven't already seen time and again in stores like FYE or Hot Topic (or simply cannot afford.)

Oh, yeah! The Amelia Airhart (Fuck checking proper spelling) one! That's the one I remember since later on in the episode Janeway talked about how beautiful the city was without ever showing the damn thing.

To the subject of the TOS Enterprise, I don't know if it ever retained the ability and it was never stated, but it was definitely planned to during pre-production, and at least the JJ Abrahams version definitely seems to be able to. The source I got this from is the book The Making of Star Trek (The book on how to write for TV!) I can look up the exact source when I get home from work if you want.

u/AllOfTimeAndSpace · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Probably this, but I mean, it's awesome. It talks and is Star Trek and it's just generally all things good.

u/bubbamudd · 1 pointr/scifi

Congrats, dude! I'm definitely gonna set my DVR.

I always thought you (and maybe some of the other cast) should do Memories of the Future on SyFy as the ST:TNG reruns air. It'd be great seeing you guys tell the back stories to the episodes.

u/gamma_wow · 9 pointsr/howyoudoin

I have all the official companion books (which I bought as they came out alongside the show)

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

I'm sure I have one with a green cover that focuses on Seasons two and three but can't find it online. Found it! I swear it's green IRL though

They include behind the scenes photos, trivia etc. I really like them all.

I also had an unofficial guide of the first four or five seasons which I also found interesting. Ooh, I found that one

u/noveltymc · 2 pointsr/C_S_T

My pleasure - Ted Carpenter's book is here, highly recommended. :)

u/TheSingulatarian · 3 pointsr/startrek

If it is made up it was Roddenberry because I got it from the book "The Making of Star Trek" written by Roddenberry and Stephen Witfield. A great book if you are interested in the creation TOS and 1960s TV production.

It's not a grand conspiracy that capitalist nations and their ruling classes and rich people seek to demonize socialism with all means available, including convincing everyone of what should normally seem to be absurd lies -- it's what you'd expect, and they of course own all of these news media. That the the state department, CIA, and other foreign policy organs of imperialism promotes false information expecting it to get uncritically reported by the mass media is plainly visible once you understand how it works and it's also completely unsurprising.

u/syswww · 1 pointr/fringe

Well its been a while but look at the video review for the fringe book some guy posted. It clearly has an image of the wave sink device, you could probably scan this to get a relatively high res version.

u/KeystoneKops · 6 pointsr/Documentaries

Happily, though I'm afraid it doesn't have much in the way of new information it does have some nice snippets that didn't make it into the documentary as I recall (been a while since I read it):

Aaaand there's another that seems even better but I haven't gotten my mitts on it yet.

u/harmonylion · 7 pointsr/TrueAskReddit

This book will answer your question.

TLDR:

  • kids (and adults) get addicted, moody, hyperactive, go through withdrawal without TV

  • attention span and ability to delay gratification are diminished

  • watching TV the brain goes into a "passive" state that doesn't occur while reading, this state is not actually relaxing (actually low-level stress)...

    That's off the top of my head, there's definitely more.
u/Beast815 · 2 pointsr/Supernatural

Theres also John Winchesters Journal, but I don't know if they make it any more.

here it is on Amazon http://www.amazon.ca/books/dp/0061706620

u/TheGow · 1 pointr/startrek

I recommend this book. It covers the entire war. You can get it pretty cheap if you get just the book instead of with the display stand.

You may want to read up on Cultural imperialism and Linguistic imperialism.

Edit: Just curios, what language do you consider your mother tongue? What is your ethnicity? Don't want to sound intrusive, but this kind of stuff gets my curiosity going.

u/Citizen001 · 9 pointsr/startrek

For all you need to know for the first 150 Years of the Federation and Earth pre-Federation/Star Fleet I give you this :P.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Federation-First-Years/dp/1612184170

u/Omega2112 · 3 pointsr/startrek

Have you read Federation: The First 150 years? That might be what you're looking for.

u/enricofermirocks · 4 pointsr/news

How can anyone believe the US government? They are proven liars. Remember WMD? Their intelligence is agenda driven. It's not unbiased or impartial. This has been reported many times. E.g. https://www.amazon.com/Spooked-Manipulates-Media-Hoodwinks-Hollywood/dp/1510703365

u/TheCheshireCody · 5 pointsr/startrek

Wikipedia states that he was fired by Gene Roddenberry and cites a couple of sources. Wil Wheaton has said that he believes the reason for Mayberry's departure to be because of perceived racism, although he does admit his memory is a bit fuzzy on this episode. For the record, that article appears to be either an excerpt from, or a slight reworking of, the review in Wil's Memories of the Future book. Also available as a podcast.

> Outraged, Commander Charles Tucker III fakes his own death and teams up with Section 31

Thank you. I have been toying with this in my head; Tucker didn't die. He just made it look like that. Fuck Berman and Bragga, seriously.

On that note, the buildup to the Romulan War and the war itself has been covered in Federation: The First 150 Years. It's pretty good, but I don't know if it is canon.

But I like your stories also.

u/Scary_The_Clown · 2 pointsr/startrek

Actually they could show the top of the breast and the side of the breast, but no underboob. The quote from a producer was "Maybe they're afraid moss grows under there?"

BTW, if you're a trek fan, absolutely check out Whitfield's "The Making of the TV Series: Star Trek." He's got a lot of behind the scenes commentary, and production notes that are a riot.
