Star Trek

Well, they finally beamed Scotty up thanks to a new space flight:

For some odd reason I feel like saying "Live Long and Prosper!".

Not sure if anyone else saw it the other day, but Google had their page decorated up in honor of the 46th anniversary of the original "Star Trek" tv show. It was really neat with things you could click on, etc.:

Lots of fun, and even though it took them a good while in planning to do this...it was absolutely worth the wait, in the humble opinion of this "Star Trek" fan. Thanks Google!!!

If anyone else saw Google's page that day, what did you think of it???

I loved it. The red shirts beaming down with Kirk was funny!

Yeah, that was pretty good. I was a little surprised that the red shirt made it back to the ship! It must have been Scotty,

Say, did anyone hear about the new series pilot that some of the Trek actors are trying to put together? Here's a trailer for it.

What do you think, could that premise make for a good Trek series?

Found a nice story regarding the next movie "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and how they helped to make a wish come true:

Looks like an interesting pilot up above.

I read something today about the new Star Trek movie possibly being released two days earlier than previously thought or something. Not sure right now exactly when that will be. Will look into this further and post here if I find anything on it.

Abaout the release date, isn't it something strange ? Generally, movies are often late and the realease is postponed but here, if it's in the other way...and two days ! Generally (again !!) is't the a special day for new movies release in the US ? (on fridays ? Here in France it's always on wednesdays).

While I was browsing around online the other day, I found another story about Gene Roddenberry and his wife (who played various roles in several "Star Trek" shows), having their ashes also "sent into space":

You know, I can really see and understand why they both might like this and probably made plans for it to happen. Space was a huge part of their lives.

And, another quick tidbit regarding "Star Trek". It seems a "Star Trek" phaser rifle used in the original TV Series brought over $230,000.00 at a recent auction:

Quick bit about Star Trek: The Video Game- it's a third-person shooter set after the 2009 movie, you get to be Kirk (better variety of weapons) or Spock (more agile, from what I understand from the previews I saw), you get to fight the Gorn (the lizardman from The Original Series), and the Alternate Universe Constitution-class still looks awesome.

William Shatner did a trailer for the game where he reenacts the infamous Kirk vs. Gorn fight from 1967's Arena. It is hilarious, and you can tell this trailer was for the fans.


...I stopped playing Star Trek Online three years ago. Right after I stopped, they added the Excelsior and NX-class starships (and made the NX a crappy Lieutenant ship), along with the uniforms from Star Trek: Enterprise (called the Starfleet 22nd Century Uniform) and The Wrath of Khan (referred to in-game as the STII Uniform). No Star Trek '09 stuff yet (no Alternate Universe 2260s uniform, no Alternate Universe Constitution-class, no Armstrong-class, no Mayflower-class, no Newton-class...)
