As to arriving very early, also admiring the weather of blue fine skies with moderately placed fluffy clouds, then prescribing myself getting my early prescriptions of four or five shot lattes, to wake me up, after a drive in it took my morning instant espresso coffee out.

This year cosplay, has been different, it’s pretty much diversify, in sense it cover almost every single possible genre.. from gaming, scifi to animie manga, Notability there’s been more of Doctor who… girls and guys cosplaying in either mostly the Matt Smith Doctor, than to the David Tennant’s Doctor… also there was some interesting uniquely tardis dresses, dressed in the blue box dress fashion , there was one impossible girl known as Clara Oswin, and a couple of excellent scary weeping angels…  there was also the Dalek Dress girl, as well Daleks from different times of series from the classic, ironsides to the Cult of Skaro .. But one thing it’s going to be interesting to see, what Peter Capaldi’s Doctor is going to wear where he becomes the 12th Doctor..

On the comic front, there was the traditionally duo of harlequin queen and her slave The Joker…. Impressively cosplayed, of using the DC universe of Batman Asylum as a brilliant reference, as to the Joker, it was likewise aswell. Among that genre there was Diana- Wonder Woman, super girl.   Captain America..  Marvel’s Movie Loki, the Arrow’s the Arrow himself also the Black Canary.. Among them is Catwoman….

Game, film and television wise cosplay it was interesting, walking around the halls of Armageddon, it seems that there’s been more of Assassins Creed cosplayers than from last.. Roaming around the halls location of Ubisoft’s Assassins Creed gaming centre,  nearby that there was the Xbox live roaming also was brilliantly worked cosplay on Master Chief’s armoury 117 combat suit.. also his escort the trustee Starfleet officer from the NX01 days..  Among them also is the different variances of stormtroopers, in different eras of the Star wars Universe.. Plus with the exception of the Rebels having a X-wing fighter pilot, also a Jedi… the exception is a Zombie Storm trooper in which he haunts the halls..   Also I got the met the Cosplayer winner in Melbourne with his Game of Thrones in his Lannisters Armour.

Magically wise there was a few Hogwarts students around also there partnering schools in finding and defending against the dark lord, for he could not be named..

Game wise there was a very good selection, there was Fem Shepard from the Mass Effect series, also as mention above the assassins but the very impressive ones I’ve seen is Ironman also as Tony Stark, the Tardis girl, Fem Shepard,  but one brilliantly impressive one is the Cosplayer whom did Claire Farron… Known as Lighting or Light..  Final Fantasy XIII– Lighting returns… she did a awesome job in creating lighting’s clothing in an intricately highly delicate degrees detailed….

My thoughts | the new Star Trek Television series… in the makings..

Given that there’s in discussions in producing another television series for star trek.  Is what I would like to see is not the reboot star trek in a five year mission television series, but in in the original universe sense in with that’s it written for Trekkie.. as it done so in the past, with the same type of writing standards of the series….of the original universe…

What I would like to see, is the story of the original Captain Christopher Pike’s first officer, as seen in the first pilot episode “The Cage “, as she become the captain of the everso retrofitted constitution class Enterprise, knowing that the Enterprise is some very old ship, least four decades old that have progressively retrofitted dozens times , then a young very Iowa resident mature sense Captain James Tiberius Kirk… came along  taking  on like his older brother, George Kirk…

knowing that the USS Enterprise is a very old ship of more than forty years, Captain Christoper Pike Number one, is the Captain before Kirk…

The other is the continuous series, is the integrated story of the Enterprise B, of a story of having the next captain from the Captain John Harriman to the story from Ensign Demora Sulu becoming the Captain, also having the father and daughter relationship aspects of between two Captains Hikaru and his daughter Demora Sulu… between the USS Enterprise B and the USS Excelsior.. Which is written originally timeline epiougly in star trek online..   in the sequences of events that proceed, after the Enterprise B.. a new transition takes place where Captain Demora Sulu then Admiral, sees the construction of the Ambassador Class Starship Project and later we see the celebrated launch of the first ship of it class USS Ambassador, then later USS Enterprise C , with the adventuring stories of Captain Rachael Garrett.. Until that unfaithfully day where at Narenda three….

As each Captain recounts it moments, it counts it’s learning inspirations from one whom of the command from the Columbia NX-02………another integrated series… within each Captain’s lives…

Arriving early in the morning, the weather is clear, blue skies,  walking through the multiple halls corridors in the ASB Pavilions, looking around, that there’s something interesting that from the last. This year at Armageddon in Auckland, exploring around, the corridors,  also the event programme has reverted back to the previous calendar, as it was alternated due to making way for the Rugby world cup of 2012, as Armageddon Auckland falls back to the Labor day weekend…

In this year’s  one, the events exhibits have grown larger, encompassing the third hall, in which contained the Artist Alley, also containing the legion 501st  , also , plus the guys  from Star Trek collection featuring there Collections of collectables also a sliver partial of the Constitution class Bridge, the Comm, Helm, also Navigations..  Within this Hall contains Wrestling matches, Laser Tag,  plus Zombie chase. ..

Hall number two was interesting, traditionally it contain the signing booths, in which progressively the largest line in waiting was repeatedly three days straight was the actor whom played Luna Lovegood, the wife of Longbottom, is the curiously fabulous  Evanna Lynch. Evanna Lynch line was so patiently waiting gridlock to the end of the hall. Nearby the signing panel in which had the Doctor panel, with three Daleks, and one freshly scruffy Tardis.. in two Daleks, one Ironsides, plus one Black cult of Skaro with a newly acquired driver….  What’s new within the halls of the number two, is that Warehouse, taking place where skinny communication used to be…Among the labour weekend of Armageddon Auckland is the brilliant awesome craftsmanship of cosplayers,

Hall number one. Had an interesting change, orthough it kept it’s traditional stalls, but it filed with mostly gaming from the Magic the game, to several major gaming companies, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, EA Blizzard, Nintendo, also Ubisoft’s, featuring some new content in gaming,  plus PB Tech, in PC desktop customisation.  In the area within is demonstration of the upcoming current Battlefield four, also its counter  Call of duty…there was one early morning during Sunday as I was picking a very nice strong five shot latte where I met up a Ubisoft’s  person, and explained about the story of a very much need  coffee….Surprising enough during the conservation, she didn’t know whom the Fragdolls are, but explainly I suggest it would be very cool.. to have them invited over here…..

If you stuck on a on what to do, you’re alone in ready room just about to file and finish some paperwork off, plus all of your crew is on shore leave and you have the open door to the bridge open and it’s on nightshade mode, where it’s night time simulated to almost dark, you look at the time, on the wall display, saying  it’s way past midnight.. the consoles are on, some on standby.. but still operating.. as if it was running by itself… doing the ending cycle run on self- diagnostics…

You deciding to take break, gathering and putting your padds and work aside… orderly… getting up… from your ready chair making way to the bridge and seeing it empty…  you pick up you mug, only find that the coffee is cold.. you then place it in the food replicator to be recycled..

You make your way to the bridge only finding it’s mostly dark.. nobodies  around checking looking  around every single station.. you then proceed to.. to the turbo lift.. thinking, glad that your crew is having a very good time.. on their well deserve shore leave…

You proceed to the turbo lift.. and give yourself a very good well deserved arm stretching .. that felt good.. you proceed down a very  few decks below.. to your captain quarters… getting change out of your uniform.. and into something casual…..

Then you proceed to the Holodeck in deck 12 on your Galaxy Class.. then you select something kinda of halloweenly…  so you fire up some Holo Novels  like the night of the comet..  where you go back in time.. in Drozona Station to unfold events.. in the past in figuring out what has happen.. during that time.. in the 23rd century…and also assisting the investigation of the USS James Ruben..  also the Drozona station where you encounter the Devidians… also you meet an very familiar face.. the loveable Engineer..

Later.. you encounter a Klingons.. in a D7 battlement… then destroying the Devidians Comet….

need help with the  Holo Novel – Night of the comet.. ?

It’s Halloween again plus you’ll need you something to celebrate the night where the dead arise every year, and you could figure what to get so you could  go do some serious trick and treating….. knowing that in the past that Zombies are very in fashionably these days with the recent zombie movies like the Milla Jovovich’s movies that she kicking zombies also the Umbrella’s Alice Corporation  ass  in the Residential Evil series…. there’s also Brad’s Pitts movie, World war Z.. also Will’s Smith’s film “ I am Legend”   ………So Zombies are just a more vogue than to Vampires and Lycans than or equally to the Kate Beckinsale’s  Selene…

To get this look, you’ll need a Star Trek , The original series Starfleet’s office Red Shirt… or the The Dress.. you’ll need, either a  TOS Phaser Pistol, Tricorder, or a Communicator…in slightly damage kind off way…  for makeup, either zombie white, chard black with red blood oozing every, with brilliant dysfunctional skin tearing  of like being a living corpse.  Also boots to match…
