    Star Trek anyone?

    Well tonight makes the date of a brand new Star Trek series, yippie! Aren't you all excited? You know I am

    Well atleast sort of. I will watch it tonight, see if its got the "stuff" and then judge from there. Hopefully it kicks ass though. Well thats it, hope you all tune in.

    ROFL, Pix... I wonder how many people out there are closet Trekies... Certainly not me, mind you, but I'm sure there are tons of geeks, um, I mean, Trekies, hiding secretly in their closets watching the premier tonight...

    I'm a little concerned about Scott Bakula, personally, but I guess we'll all just have to see, eh?

    Well, I am a geek and I'll be watching. I'll have to tape it though because the second hour will conflict with practice tonight. This Star Trek is actually a "prequel" to the classic TV show taking place before Kirk and crew. Should be fun as long as it doesn't take itself too seriously.

    I'll watch it. Not an obsessive compulsive trek fan, but I do enjoy them from time to time. I can't quote star dates or stuff like that, but I've seen a bunch of episodes.

    Regarding "taking itself too seriously"... when has Star Trek not? It wouldn't be the same if Bakula was constantly giving "knowing winks" to the camera. Ugh.

    And don't get me started with Bakula... He's a good actor and all, but every time I think of him I envision him in some dress on Quantum Leap...

    Not that there's anything wrong with that

    Star Trek Thoughts:
    I only watched about a half of it due to our match. I have
    it taped, so I'll watch the rest tonite.

    * I found the concept intriguing - the fact that a lot
    of the technology (transporters, etc) are unproven
    and much of the universe is still unknown offers much
    fertile ground for future episodes.
    * I wasn't as annoyed by Count Bakula as I thought I'd be.
    I thought he did a servicable job, given the fact his face
    is about as type cast as can be.
    * I thought that T'Pol looked like Halle Berry..
    * Interesting that the Vulcans show flashes of emotion.
    Seems they are still struggling to stifle their emotions.
    * The doctor dude's wild morphed smile was eerie.
    * I can never get too much multi-colored long tongued alien
    strip tease.
    * The rest of the crew seems likeable enough.

    T'Pol is hot The decontamination scene was pretty 'hot' for a Star Trek episode. It was probably a step beyond 7 of 9 body poses. LOL

    Could one of you guys that recorded it send me the tape when you're done? My cable was out all last night, so I didn't get to see it. :/

    I can, Zorro. E-mail me your address. Also, look in the TV listings. UPN has a habit of repeating shows like this over the weekend.

    I'm a firm believer that a manual rub down (with plenty of hot oil) is the only way to truly be sure that your female vulcan first officer is truly decontaminated...

    Where do I sign for that service detail, captain?

    Hey Bill,

    I'm not sure where you register, but if you find out let me know.

    BTW.. I almost choked on my drink last night because I could have sworn that they called one of the bad aliens "Trapani"! ROFLMAO
