If you’ve ever attended the San Diego Comic-Con, Wondercon, or LA Comic Con, you may have seen —or even posed on— Sci-Fi World’s Star Trek Enterprise Bridge. Or perhaps another impressive prop. They’ve traveled to other cons across the U.S. since 2012 with a variety of them.
However, while they still might continue to travel, they’ve also been in the process of creating a more permanent home for their museum of incredible costumes, props, and other artifacts. Could that be what the big announcement they’re revealing on November 17 will be about?
The “It’s Coming” Video
Recently the Hollywood Horror and Science Fiction Foundation sent out a newsletter with very little info, but two interesting links.
One was to the Sci-Fi World’s site. (That link is below.) The other was to a video on the Star Trek Enterprise D Bridge Restoration page on Facebook.
Side note: The Foundation and the Bridge Restoration are all essentially Sci-Fi World, just different incarnations of it. In their quest to develop into a museum, they’ve had many names. In fact, they were originally going to call themselves Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum but decided “museum” was too antiquated and that Sci-Fi World “sold” better, so to speak. Or, as they put it, “was more commercial and catchier.” So that’s what they’re going with now.
Anyway, the video to the Facebook page included the caption, “After almost 8 years, this is the news we’ve all been waiting for. On Wednesday, 11/17/21 all will be revealed.” They ended it with a Spock hands emoji.
However, Hollywood Sci-Fi World also posted the video to their Facebook page. Here it is:
Hollywood Sci-Fi World Museum 2022
On their site, they say they’ll be opening in a mall in 2022. Could their big announcement be the reveal of the opening date?
I’m willing to bet yes. But it looks like we’ll find out for sure at 6 p.m. PT on Wednesday, November 17.
If their video is a teaser of what to expect from the museum, it looks like it will pay homage to some of the most iconic science-fiction television shows and movies ever made.
On their website, they have a proposed layout which also includes a Hall of Classic Sci-Fi Cars, a Hall of Robots, and a Hall of Spaceships, plus a Real Robots, Time Machines, and Doctor Who, as well as Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Men in Black, King Kong, Alien, Matrix, E.T., and Godzilla sections.
Other floors will have Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars areas, and there will be space for special exhibitions, a theater, and even laser tag!
Basically, it sounds like it will be enormous! And a sci-fi lovers paradise. It’s a museum I’d definitely want to jaunt to! What about you?

Check-In
Did you know there was a Spock hands emoji?
I didn’t. I had to check that out. If you even just type “Spock” (at least on an iPhone), it comes right up.
Huh. I learn something new every day… (If I could, I’d insert a scratching my head emoji here.)
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

THERE’S A VULCAN HANDS EMOJI?! OMGosh, that is so cool. It’s gonna be my new text go-to!
Okay I feel better that even you didn’t know. I was curious if you would see this and answer but I figured you might know. And VULCAN hands. All I could think was Spock. I could not think of what he is. lol
