SF Chronicle's Man-Crush on Trek, Kirk, and Bill

This weekend's San Francisco Chronicle had a whole bunch of great coverage on Trek - not the new movie, but CLASSIC Trek, and of course there was a picture of Bill! Check out the great articles they've been running:

Best and Worst of Trek (villain, cameo, etc.)

Boldly Going for New Film Doesn't Irk Trekker

Q&A with Quinto

Trek Stuff from Burger King and a Great Typo!

Trust me, the glasses look pretty cool but I had to post this picture. Looks like a mash-up of Star Trek, South Park and chibis.

Read the article and be sure to enjoy this sentence:

There are going to be four toys offered each week for four weeks (although sometimes restaurants with more costumers tend to go through their premium items faster).

The fun starts May 4!

Mix & Match

Compare the original and replacement crew.



Thanks, Jamie!

Favorite comments:

"Blasphemy!" and "JJ Abrams is going to KILL the Star Trek franchise with this fiasco of a film. People should avoid this film like the plague, and maybe the hack that is JJ Abrams will go away." (What, no "THIS IS A DISASTER!"? For shame, fanboys, for shame.)

"I think that James T Kirk looks cross-eyed." (Taken out of context, you might think this is a comment on the Bill the Cat picture but no, take a look at the Pine picture.)

Scroll down to our previous post for a happy ending.

Him Too Much Sexy

Lovely rich purple background--yes.
Sweat--good, good.
Kirklight--oh, well done!
But there's something missing.
Oh, of course! Rip the shirt, darling. Slowly. That's right.
Music up and... oh hell, you figure it out. I'm done typing.

Why Everyone Loves Captain Kirk

Because he's the goddamn captain, that's why!

Excerpt:

And then there's the cosmic Kirk mojo - an intergalactic seduction record that makes Charlie Sheen and Mick Jagger look like high school virgins. Whether presented with a green Orion slave women, an android, or a primitive, tribal princess, Kirk could found a way into her bed. The web is littered with lists debating Kirk's greatest conquests, but he had a charm that made him seem less like a chauvinist scoundrel, and more just a lover of the moment.

Modern men can use "going to war" as an excuse for a tryst, but Kirk could use everything from "won't be back in this solar system for another 40 years" to "battling a Vulcan to death in hand-to-hand combat tomorrow" to justify his escapades. Life was short, and he flew by the seat of his pants in more ways than one.

Here's a link to a new short interview for the Trek movie:

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/index.php?cl=13072944

JK says: "From the expressions on their faces (esp when the other guy is talking), they look like 2 guys trying to talk their way out of something. Like the cops have them in the interrogation room."

TOTALLY.

But also: Karl Urban does his Gary Lockwood impression! He LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM!!!

And now for something completely different: Gay Marriage!

Yay Jane Lynch!

Star Trek Cereal!

I WANT SOME! Even though I know it will taste like crap. This is the kind of stuff that will show up in my local Big Lots store for 49 cents a box.

CSI does Trek

Could they cram in any MORE Trek jokes? They got the sex in the Captain's chair right, tho.

But let it be known that you CAN'T KILL WILLIAM SHATNER! It would violate the second law of thermodynamics, or something.

Did Gary Lockwood get paid for this?

Attention all hands! EVASIVE MANEUVERS!!!

Avoid the movie "Knowing." It. Is. Crap. And not in a fun way. Don't let the "sci-fi" label fool you.

AND WHY DOES GOD NEED A STARSHIP??????

I'm so pissed off that I have to eat ICE CREAM just to restore my normally sweet demeanor.

Now that's what I call an alternate universe!

But does he play his own instrument, hmmm?
