Show me a blog without a Star Trek/Star Wars entry, and I’ll show you… uh, yeah, I know, there’s probably a lot of blogs without references to those franchises. This is not one of them.
Seems that in Toronto, nearly all the pedophiles arrested by the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit in the last four years have been hard-core Star Trek fans. I tend to take these things with a grain of salt, though: what constitutes “hard-core?” I suspect the truth might be something more along the lines of “had a few Star Trek books around.” Or maybe not…
In other very odd Star Trek news, the latest episode of Enterprise (caution: there be spoilers here) was actually pretty good. If they had been doing these kinds of episodes a few seasons back, I suspect the show wouldn’t have been cancelled. There’s also a podcast for the episode available (there was a time when Star Trek would have been the leader in such things, rather than a follower).
Some other Star Trek news (and non-news):
- Generosity: Nimoy and wife share their wealth, learn a lot
- End of Star Wars and Star Trek Causes Nerd Population Explosion
- ‘Star Trek’ Bit Players Cling On: Ha ha. Cling On. Get it? GET IT?
- Morality beliefs formed by Star Trek: Cloning, Stem Cell Research bad
- Google in Klingon: Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam!
And, while not Star Trek news, the trailer for Joss Whedon’s Firefly movie spinoff, Serenity, is available over at Apple. I can’t say enough good things about Firefly. Like Wonderfalls, it was cut down before it had a chance (thanks, Fox!). It galls me when crap like Enterprise pretty much gets a four-year run based on the franchise, while other great shows get cancelled after a few episodes.
