The forthcoming release of Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-Ray really gets our nerd juices flowing, and some übernerds (we say that with respect and a little bit of jealousy) have gone through scene by scene and taken note of a bunch of the cool new stuff that you can see in the remastered episodes that you couldn't see before. For example, did you know that there's a little shout-out to Star Wars hidden in one of the props in Encounter at Far Point? Yeah, neither did anyone else, but thanks to the magic of high-res Blu-Ray, we can see it now.

In what's probably the most fully realized nerd cave ever, Britain's Tony Alleyne turned his one-bedroom apartment into an insanely detailed recreation of the bridge of the Starship Voyager, after he and his wife split up in 1999. Well, apparently she's the one who owns the apartment, and she's asking him to retire and dismantle his beloved command and all its Star Trek goodness.

If you're a Star Trek fan who dreams about taking a journey on the USS Enterprise, then a flight in first class on a Qantas A380 looks like a pretty good substitute. Of course you won't be traveling at Warp 8, but it can still get you from Los Angeles to Sydney in about 15 hours.

Watch George Takei — the only actor to work on both Star Trek and Star Wars — broker peace between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher. In this video, Mr. Takei also identifies a "mutual threat" both sides can work together to overcome.
