Has passed on.

Star Trek will never be the same.

Star Trek Trailer

"The wait is over."

Do yourself a favor and go for the HD 1080p version.  There's a lot to see in that trailer.

Oh, and just for the heck of it:

Star Trek 2.0

First pics from the new Trek film have hit the interweb. 

My first impression?

It feels more like fans pretending to be the characters, rather than actors playing the characters. They look like very impressive Comic-Con attendees. It's almost similar to the way I felt about Ledger's Joker when I first saw pics of him in the make-up.

I'm starting to lean toward "it was a bad idea to re-cast these parts with new actors".

The Original Series was not like Batman or Zorro or Sherlock Holmes. These characters are linked with specific actors in a way that makes re-casting a dangerous game.

I dunno. I'll see it for sure and hope for the best. I really miss Trek. A lot. So when I say I hope for the best, I mean it. I'm a Trek fan all the way. I love every TV series in different ways.

But I fear that when I leave the theater after seeing this film the first thing I'll want to do is watch "Amok Time" or "The Trouble With Tribbles" to mentally re-boot.

It Was 20 Years Ago Today

On September 28th, 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation made its debut on television.  I remember watching the premiere like it was yesterday.  I was a few months shy of fifteen and had just started my freshman year of high school.

Okay . . . now I feel old.
