Kirk vs. Picard For the Umpteenth Time

Thanks to Nikki for letting us know that Wired.com has boldly gone where freakin' EVERYBODY has gone before and we wish to Grapthar we could stop going along!

As usual, the real entertainment is in the comments.

It’s a well-documented fact that the daughters of those who prefer Kirk grow up to become strippers.
Who says Trekkies never get out of their parents' basement.

Picard is a little too dramatic. A stentorian Shakespearian actor certainly seems hammish and bizarre captaining a ship. Everything he speaks seems artificially either over dramatic or carefully subdued. Each one too much to feel natural.
This is the first! time! EVER! that Patrick Stewart has been accused of being hammier than Bill. One for the record books.

The Prime Directive is for sallies.
Not exactly relevant but nonetheless entertaining.

Kirk. Jeez. How is this even a discussion?
Don't ask me, I'm just a podcaster.

And in closing...
And anybody who grew up with TNG, instead of the original series, shouldn’t get a say.
Amen to that.

No! More! Bloody Singing!

TNMC summarizes scenes cut from Star Trek XI.
Finally, at the end of the script is provided an alternate take on the scene in which Spock and Spock Prime meet. Before saying goodbye, Spock Prime hands Spock a locket. Spock activates the locket and sees a holographic video of Kirk, and by that I mean Shatner, singing happy birthday to Spock and congratulating him on becoming an ambassador. The message continues, basically telling Spock that the two of them should get back together one more time with a starship and just... explore.

The writer goes on to speculate why this scene was cut. Doesn't mention how incredibly slashy it would have been for Kirk to send Spock a locket (ew!) or that this would have been the Trek movies' second-most embarrassing musical moment, the first being "Row Row Row Your Boat" from STV. That's #1 because they weren't happy with how stupid & sappy it was the first time so they reprised it! OUCH!

Maynard Chats Up the Butt Girls AGAIN!

William Shatner, Career Counselor

Rule #1--Ask yourself: What would Bill do?
Shatner describes his career plan as "answering the phone." When someone called to say, "I've got a part for you," he had work.


"Sorry, I have to take this call."

Trek PEZ dispensers as Flash Drives!

I so want one! You can get Uhura, Sulu, and the Enterprise. No word on whether Kirk will be available. We suspect that one is SOLD OUT.
