Dalek remembrance day 2024
2024-12-21
Dalek remembrance is on the 21 December every year, this date was chosen because on the 21 December 1963, the Daleks (/ˈdɑːlɪks/ (listen) DAH-leks) first made their appearence on screen and into history.
The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants principally portrayed in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. The Daleks were conceived by science-fiction writer Terry Nation and first appeared in the 1963 Doctor Who serial The Daleks, in shells designed by Raymond Cusick. Drawing inspiration from the Nazis, Nation portrayed the Daleks as violent, merciless and pitiless cyborg aliens, who demand total conformity to their will and are bent on the conquest of the universe and the extermination of what they see as inferior races. Collectively they are the greatest enemies of Doctor Who’s protagonist, the Time Lord known as “the Doctor.” During the second year of the original Doctor Who programme (1963-1989), the Daleks developed their own form of time travel. In the beginning of the second Doctor Who TV series that debuted in 2005, it was established that the Daleks had engaged in a Time War against the Time Lords that affected much of the universe and altered parts of history.
In the programme’s narrative, the planet Skaro suffered a thousand-year war between two societies: the Kaleds and the Thals. During this time-period, many natives of Skaro became badly mutated by fallout from nuclear weapons and chemical warfare. The Kaled government believed in genetic purity and swore to “exterminate the Thals” for being inferior. Believing his own society was becoming weak and that it was his duty to create a new master race from the ashes of his people, the Kaled scientist Davros genetically modified several Kaleds into squid-like life-forms he called Daleks, removing “weaknesses” such as mercy and sympathy while increasing aggression and survival-instinct. He then integrated them with tank-like robotic shells equipped with advanced technology based on the same life-support system he himself used since being burned and blinded by a nuclear attack. His creations became intent on dominating the universe by enslaving or purging all “inferior” non-Dalek life. The Daleks are the show’s most popular and famous villains and their returns to the series over the decades have often gained media attention. Their frequent declaration “Exterminate!” has become common usage. Contrary to popular belief, the Daleks are not contractually required to appear in every season, as former showrunner Steven Moffat stated in an interview.

#StarTrek #FirstContactDay 2025
2025-04-05
First Contact Day is a holiday celebrated in the Federation on April 5, marking the anniversaries of the flight of the Phoenix and of first contact between Humans and Vulcans on April 5th, 2063 in Bozeman, Montana.
The holiday also shares the same date as the Day of Honor in the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Republic’s Republic Day. While not a major holiday, Naomi Wildman and Neelix planned an elaborate celebration aboard the USS Voyager in 2377, including cheese pierogies, rock and roll music, and a reenactment of the historic first contact by Lieutenant Commander Tuvok. The day often meant a day off from school for Federation youth. (VOY episode: “Homestead”, ST website: Startrek.com). In 2381, Admiral Leonard James Akaar planned to have the USS Titan relaunched on First Contact Day, as part of a morale-boosting effort following the Borg Invasion earlier that year. (TNG novel: Losing the Peace). First Contact Day was a holiday celebrated to honor both the warp 1 flight of the Phoenix and first open contact between Humans and Vulcans (Star Trek: First Contact). On Earth, children were given a day off from school, a fact that Captain Kathryn Janeway remembered was really the only way it was celebrated.
Naomi Wildman and Neelix planned the 315th observation of the event aboard the USS Voyager. The festivities included Zefram Cochrane’s favorite food, cheese pierogies, and rock and roll music on Tom Paris’s jukebox. At Neelix’s insistence, Tuvok gave the Vulcan salute while reciting the greeting given by the Vulcans during first contact: “Live long and prosper.” He did not see the point of it, but everyone in attendance applauded. (VOY: “Homestead”). Star Trek: First Contact co-writer Ronald D. Moore chose the date for first contact in honor of his son, Jonathan, whose birthday is April 5th. First Contact Day was also cited in the first draft of the script for ENT: “Fusion” (which had the working title “Equilibrium”). In that script, Trip Tucker told Fraht about this holiday, commenting about it, “‘That’s kind of dull… just an excuse for kids to get the day off from school.”

#MayThe4thBeWithYou Star Wars Day 2025
2025-05-04
Star Wars Day is an informal commemorative day observed annually on May 4 to celebrate George Lucas‘ Star Wars media franchise.
Observance of the day spread quickly through media and grassroots celebrations since the franchise began in 1977. The date originated from the pun “May the Fourth be with you”, a variant of the popular Star Wars catchphrase “May the Force be with you“. Even though the holiday was not created or declared by Lucasfilm, many Star Wars fans across the world have chosen to celebrate the holiday. It has since been embraced by Lucasfilm and parent company Disney as an annual celebration of Star Wars.

Join Doctor Who fans across the world for this very special 50th Anniversary screening of 1975’s “Terror of the Zygons” from Season 13 of Doctor Who.
The Brigadier summons the Doctor back to Earth using the Space-Time telegraph device the Doctor left with him for grave emergencies. There has been a spate of disappearances, sinkings and attacks on oil rigs in the North Sea under very mysterious circumstances. Arriving in Scotland with Sarah and Harry, the Doctor soon discovers that an unknown force is controlling the Loch Ness monster and has turned it from a shy, placid creature into a weapon of mass destruction. The mythical beast is being manipulated by a group of Zygons – a shape-shifting race of aliens determined to conquer Earth after their home planet was destroyed. As the Doctor, Sarah, Harry and UNIT confront the deadly threat, they must navigate a world where allies may not be what they seem, and the line between friend and foe is dangerously blurred.

#StarTrekDay 2025
2025-09-08
Star Trek Day is an annual informal commemorative day on September 8, referencing the broadcast premiere of the original Star Trek series on that day in 1966.
The day is celebrated by fans across the world to acknowledge the cultural impact of the Star Trek franchise. On September 8, 1966, Star Trek debuted for the first time on television with “The Man Trap,” the pilot episode of “Star Trek: The Original Series“, introducing the world to Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and their crewmates as they explored the galaxy on the starship USS Enterprise. Star Trek is an American science fiction media franchise created by Gene Roddenberry, which began with the eponymous 1960s television series and became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The franchise has expanded into various films, television series, video games, novels, and comic books, becoming one of the most recognizable and highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The franchise began with Star Trek: The Original Series, which debuted in the US on September 8, 1966, and aired for three seasons on NBC. It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada’s CTV network. It followed the voyages of the crew of the USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel built by the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century, on a mission “to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before”. In creating Star Trek, Roddenberry was inspired by C. S. Forester‘s Horatio Hornblower series of novels, Jonathan Swift‘s 1726 novel Gulliver’s Travels, the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, and television westerns such as Wagon Train.

Die Star Trek-Physik - Vortrag (TV webcast)
2026-03-12
Warum die Enterprise nur 158kg wiegt und andere galaktische Erkenntnisse, ein Gastvortrag von Professor Metin Tolan von der Technischen Universität Dortmund.
Star Trek feiert dieses Jahr 60-jähriges Jubiläum. Der anhaltende Erfolg hat sicher auch mit der Schilderung von Physik und Technik in der Serie zu tun. Doch wie genau nehmen es die Macher der Serie mit der Physik? Erstaunlich genau, wie man in dem Vortrag sehen wird. Ob Quantentheorie oder der Aufbau des Universums, Star Trek macht alles erstaunlich richtig. Dies wird anhand von vielen Beispielen gezeigt. Und am Ende des Vortrags zeigt eine verblüffende Analyse, warum Star Trek wirklich gut ist.

Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker
2026-06-25 - 2026-09-24
The global multi-platform story begins 25 June 2026, and the Fugitive Doctor is at the centre of it all.
A major new Doctor Who story event is here, and this time, the threat is closer than ever. Following its initial reveal last year, BBC Studios unveiled new rollout details, story elements and artwork for Circuit Breaker in the latest episode of The Whoniverse Show on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel. Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker launches on 25 June 2026, kicking off an epic, multi-platform adventure unfolding this summer across audio, publishing, gaming and digital, bringing fans together for one connected, must-follow Whoniverse event. The story event will see a single, escalating crisis play out across multiple formats, with each chapter unlocking new clues, new dangers… and a new side to the Time Lord. Circuit Breaker brings together a range of longstanding Doctor Who partners including Titan Comics, Doctor Who Magazine, BBC Audiobooks, East Side Games, Puffin, BBC Books and Big Finish, each delivering a unique chapter of the story across the summer. In the depths of UNIT’s most secure facility, the Black Archive, familiar objects have been pulled through time and space surrounded with a dangerous energy signature threatening to tear reality apart.
How to Follow the Story, click image to enlarge
With time running out, newly appointed Head of the Black Archive, Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) and her assistant Andrew (Omari Douglas) turn to the only person who can help… the Doctor (Jo Martin). This is no ordinary crisis, and not the Time Lord they are familiar with. As the Doctor confronts her most infamous enemies such as the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and a rogue Weeping Angel, she is forced to complete a mission with an insidious presence lurking in the shadows. Secrets begin to surface, and trust between UNIT and the Doctor begins to erode as those who idolise her start to question if she really is the Time Lord they thought they knew… Fans can follow every twist via the Doctor Who website and official channels and The Whoniverse Show, with the first chapter of the epic story launching on the in-universe UNIT website on 25 June. Circuit Breaker marks the third Doctor Who multi-platform event following the epic stories Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day.
