Star Trek: the Musical, performed by Middle Schoolers.

Best part? Kirk and the Gorn's duet, hands down.



You probably remember Rhett and Link, the genius masterminds behind this, for their Taco Bell Drive Through Song.

This commercial made me laugh a lot: New Spock vs. Old Spock

The new Star Trek movie is coming soon!

And you know we're all going to see it no matter what the reviewers say.

While we're waiting, enjoy this commercial:

This made me laugh: William Shatner vs. The Gorn (AGAIN! just like in the original Star Trek)

You may remember this classic moment from the original Star Trek, in which Captain Kirk faces a terrifying Gorn in hand to hand combat.

Now they are re-united... and it feels so good.



"Now you're just overacting." Ba ha ha ha ha.

Wonderful Wednesday: Monty Python meets the cast of the original Star Trek

Apparently this was uploaded to the internet in 2006. I just noticed it. O Vast and Tumultuous Internet! What other secrets dost thou hide from me?

News about the New Star Trek movie (For Kerri)

I have plenty of problems, but one of the biggest is my inability to be a committed enough fanboy to matter. I like comics, but I don't have a tattoo of Superman. I like(d) Star Wars back when it mattered but I never cared enough to cross-relate the comics to the movies to the novels. I never stood in line for the opening movie of any franchise dressed as the characters. I never had my face surgically altered to look like a Klingon. In the world of weird fans I'm just a mediocre side note.

But right now my friend Kerri is trying hard to become a Trekker, so I thought I would give her some early notice about next year's Star Trek movie. Here's the recently released teaser posters, with pictures of the new Kirk, Spock and Uhura, as well as the Romulan bad guy "Nero." Direction is by JJ Abrams, the LOST guy, so I think this might actually be worth going to see.

Oh, and Kerri-- don't make any plans for May 8th of next year.
