I'd be willing to do that in my basement, that way potential sex partners won't see my dirty little secret until after I have had my way with them.

If I were him I would have re-created the sick bay in detail so I could perform mock operations on alien females.

Is this not the same apartment that you guys have been reporting on numerous times before? I swear, I've seen this article at least three times before!

Is this the same guy who later killed himself, or is this a new guy who'll be offing himself in the next few months?

Who needs real women when you have a holodeck at home?? No one will be able to pry this guy out of his house while he's getting a hot oil massage from Jessica Simpson and her simulated twin sister. He DID build a holodeck, didn't he?? If not, what a waste!

Anyway, who needs real women when you have a holodeck? No one is going to pry this guy away from his holodeck while he is getting a hot oil massage from Jessica Simpson and her simulated twin sister. He DID build a holodeck, didn't he? I sure hope so. Otherwise, what a waste!

North of London - ITS NORTH OF BIRMINGHAM!!! Right in the freaking middle!
At least, that's what the article says, Leicester is 100's of miles away from London pshht.

Anyways, to the matter on hand - I want one, wants it precious, and I know the missus would love it... as she's a huge Voyager fan.

That is the Nova class starship. Its a replica of a Voyager set, but not THE Voyager, rather the Equinox.

I think an entertainment room styled like Ten Forward could be kinda cool. It has a fairly minimal design and wouldn't require a lot of LCARS displays.

Yeah I beg to differ, this guy could get more play than someone with fame if he finds the right venues. Let's say, for example, he hires himself out to do custom remodels for strip clubs around the world in order to attract the tech demographic. Great potential . . .

Bring in a female that has no idea what Star Trek is and she'll think it's just some Hi-Tech toys and that the guy must be loaded so then she'll stay with him.

Not to denegrate the craftsmanship (he did an awesome job), but that just seems like a waste of money to me. It's kind of like the guy that buys a $2,000 car and puts $4,000 rims on it. Why not just spend that money on getting a better place (or car)? I'm not saying that it's a stupid idea, just that I don't get it at all (unless he has a huge amount of disposable income). I guess if his plan was to make a career of doing things like that for people... Still, though. (what can I say, I'm a math guy... Me and the artistic types don't have much in common)

Nerd on!!

Clearly it's not Voyager. The display in the bathroom shows a more recent class of starship, I can't tell exactly but it looks like a Nova class science ship. Voyager did feature a story arc about a lost Nova class ship though.

That is a very nicely done place. A little cold for my tastes but you have to admire his ingenuity. I especially like how he hid his bed in that radiator/heating unit looking thing (in the room with the red and blue circles on the ground) pretty crafty if you ask me. I just wish there where descriptions on where his fridge is stashed and his clothes and what big mirror or lcars looking thing is his giant honkin tv, cause if there is no big tv, then this place is just worthless.

Just think a second about what else he could have done with his effort and time. Now, think about how you are wasting your effort and time commenting on something someone like that did. It's scary isn't it. I need to go do homework or walk the dog or something. I'm depressed. Tomorrow, I will cease and desist my wasted free time and start my effort to become President!

The article from last year didn't say a whole lot... This has a bit more detail, as well as some info on what he's doing now.

Also, the guy never tried to sell it for $2 million. That is sort of a web rumor. He told me it was half that, and he only posted it at that price to get people interested in his company. It didn't work out so great though!

redman042 — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 13:00:31 EST

Oh, he'll get laid. He just has to do all his "picking up" at Star Trek conventions, that's all. And when he gets to the convention, he should only hit on the women who are fully decked out in Starfleet uniforms and makeup, and are wearing mock communicator lapelles. The others won't be hardcore enough to "live" in the Star Trek world.
