Aldebaran Whiskey – Star Trek Next Generation

April 15th, 2012

Last night I was watching reruns of Star Trek, the Next Generation (the one with Patrick Stewart). The episode was the one where “Scotty” from the original series put himself into a transporter loop for 75 years and was rescued. When he visited the bar (10 Forward) he didn’t like the taste of the fake whiskey, and so Data (the android character) offered him some real whiskey – Aldebaran Whiskey!

It was the first time I’d noticed them mention the word Aldebaran in Star Trek. I was delighted. For those of you who wonder what Aldebaran is, read this. I know, I’m a nerd. It was still a cool moment.

Not sure about the whisky but Patrick Stewart grew up around here and I saw him give a talk at my local cinema about his life and becoming an actor. He is also Chancellor of the university of Huddersfield a town not far from here.

How cool is that. I love Patrick Stewart. So I’m just one person away from him now. Thanks Paul!
