Star Trek:Enterprsie was my least favorite of the new Star Trek Series. It was easily the least Star Trek like, and a logical next step in The Antichrist Rick Berman’s quest to destroy the Star Trek Brand and remake it in his own demonic image. The Wife is a member of a Star Trek fan club and we went to a movie opening while Star Trek Enterprise was on the air. A couple of the members showed up wearing jump suits and baseball caps and looked exactly like garbage collectors, or maybe janitors, so I asked them who they were…

It’s Worse Than That, She’s Dead, Jim
Majel Barrett Roddenberry died of leukemia on Thursday at her home in Los Angeles. Majel Barrett Roddenberry was a vital part of the vast Star Trek Empire with roles in the many Star Treks spin offs. She recently finished doing the voice of the USS Enterprise computer in the new Star Trek film, due out in May. As Nurse Chapel she was always staring longingly at Mr Spock and trying to help Dr McCoy save the day. She was also that second in command in the Star Trek Pilot where she was Number One long before Will Riker came onto…
JJ Abrams Star Trek Trailer 2
I’m glad to see the Old Uniforms, but a bit surprised to see the New Ships in JJ Abrams Star Trek. I guess he wants just a touch of that Original Star Trek feel and not all of those clunky 1960s props and special effects. There do seem to be a few old sound effects as well. While it might seem silly to have old style toggle switches everywhere and big bright colored buttons-Battlestar Galactica seems get away with it. The lure of technology is way too strong for there to ever be a real Star Trek Movie again. Just…

Alien Voices-The Invisible Man
Alien Voices is a group of former Star Trek actors still trying to pump some money out of the fast drying Star Trek well. For the most part, I have no problem with that. If I had been smart enough to link myself to Star Trek somehow, I would still trying to make money from it as well. Several years ago Malcolm McDowell starred as a bad buy in Star Trek Generations, easily the worst of the Star Trek movies. After filming he was interviewed and said it was fun, but he sure as hell wouldn’t be doing any conventions…
