STAR TREK: The Musical! OK, not really, but even Mr. Spock would find fascinating what we dug up in the Billy Rose Theatre Division about the original Star Trek actors before they went stellar. Who knew that Nichelle Nichols sizzled in the local cabaret scene before taking up her earpiece on the starship Enterprise? Or that George Takei was an activist, or that William Shatner, of Shatner’s World; We Just Live in It… — first trod the Broadway boards over 50 years ago? Dust off your Klingon dictionary and stay tuned, as we bring you the stage origins of Kirk, Spock, Sulu and crew, and boldly go where few have gone before with rare photos in our Gallery.
I’d let her climb up my Jefferies tube.
Wub-Wub Wednesday
Resistance Hardcore star trek DubStep by RipSoundRecordings
You guys, my love for dubstep is becoming dangerously unironic. That’s why Wednesdays on this blog are now Wub-Wub Wednesdays! Because going on YouTube and looking for shitty homemade dubstep based on things like Star Trek and Jurassic Park is the best use of my time!
One of the signs of a truly great bad dubstep remix is that the remix has almost nothing to do with the thing it’s supposed to be a remix of. Take this “Resistance Hardcore star trek DubStep,” for example. It is Star Trek-related in that it has some Star Trek dialogue in it, and the accompanying video consists of Star Trek movie footage.
And that is all.
And that is beautiful.

Everything about this is just perfect.
I’ve become an MMO person.
I was already an unemployed man living in his dad’s attic; I didn’t really need to make the situation even more… perfect? But, the Star Trek MMO went free-to-play recently, and I am now 100% infected with that particular disease.
I just… I don’t know how to feel about this, you guys. Every time I log in, I say to myself, “So, this is the way the world ends.” I’m not ashamed, nor should I be, but at this point, I tend to feel like I’m experiencing my life in the third person. It’s as though I’m watching footage shot by a film crew in the process of making a documentary about my gradual descent into irrelevancy.
Whatever. Klingons ain’t gonna shoot themselves.
I meant to post this before Christmas, but I forgot. (SURPRISE!)
Look what I found in the basement, you guys! I knew I had a Star Trek Enterprise and shuttlecraft, but I’d completely forgotten about all the other sci-fi ornaments I had. I fucking freaked the fuck out. I jumped a little, I might have yelled a bit, I might have shed the last vestiges of my dignity.
Whatever, man. Screw it. I have the USS Defiant, AKA the most badass ship in all of Star Trek. And, it lights up. I keep a small Christmas tree in my bedroom (because I’m kind of a sex god) and it is now decorated with Gene Roddenberry’s brain-babies.
And the Star Wars stuff is up there too, even though Star Wars kinda sucks.
I am now the Big Man on the campus that is Kickass.
Starships are flipping sweet. Why wouldn’t he want one? I want one.
Fuck Kirk. Will Riker is where the party’s at.
That reminds me, I need to show you all my Riker beard sometime.
With an exclamation point that could be the greatest product/commercial ever.
