Denver Comic Con 2014: Where No One Has Gone Before

Written by Scotty

Now everyone has a little niche of what they like and what they love and sometimes, just sometimes it will make them change their minds about what they will see when going to the con.  One of the first announcements I saw come across the board was for Walter Koenig.  For most people that is a name, but Walter is the man that brought life to the Chekov character on the original Star Trek series and movies.  Thinking little about what was about to happen after seeing Shatner and Takei last year, I was not expecting to be bombarded by the cast of The Next Generation coming to town.

With the crew of the Enterprise coming to Denver, even the person that has never truly been a hardcore Trekkie will have to sit back and enjoy the greatness that is standing before them.  I mean we get some incredible names here; LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Denise Crosby, Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes are coming aboard to DCC this year to hold their reunion, and to top it off, William "The Shat" Shatner is back as well to run their panel.  

It is hard to find a reason why not to stop by and visit one or all of these crewmembers when everyone has watched an episode of The Next Generation at least once. I will say that I am more than excited to see LeVar Burton this year with his success of kick starting Reading Rainbow and bringing it back to life. Although Jonathan Frakes has been Number One for all of these years, he is number two on my list to get an autograph from.  DCC has opened a new door this year with bringing in their guests and I can say is ‘Make it So.’

Hope to see you all at the con this year.  Make sure you keep your badges on so you can be transported back to a place where no one has gone before.
