Star Trek Kitteh
Via io9: Is there anything more awesome than a cat with a bat’leth? If so, we don’t want to know. The two biggest non-porn components of the Internet are Star Trek and cats. Combine the two, and it’s like matter and cattymatter!

Happy Birthday, Loverrrr
It’s Christian’s birthday today. I got him a bunch of super awesome presents. In fact, he should be opening them in bed right about the time this post goes live. Birthday presents in bed?! Even better than breakfast in bed, if you ask me! And, if you happen to hear pew pew pew phaser sounds and other assorted Star Trek-related sound effects, then Christian is probably somewhere nearby playing with his birthday presents.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, dear Kirk, (er, I mean Christian)
Happy Birthday to you!

Hitler Responds to new Star Trek movie
OMG. This is the funniest shit I’ve seen all week. I laughed out loud, giggled, got the hiccups from laughing so hard, and even snorted while laughing once or twice. LOVE IT!
Thanks to Lene for the share.

ST:TNG Super Happy Fun Time
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this image today on Flickr today. I was searching for images of “interconnected networks” and this popped up. It sure did brighten my day though. Check out what the dude wrote about ST: TNG below the image. LOVE IT!
I used to love The Next Generation. It was great. I found myself forgiving the fact they had no internet, and sat in chairs on a spaceship with no seatbelts. And some of the crew have to stand up. For hours probably.
They took their families with them into really dangerous situations and wore really dull clothes. They put the bridge on top of the hull in possibly the most strategically dumb place to put a bridge imaginable. They never, ever used the captain’s yacht. And when it was all over, they started making films, carrying on where the original series left off.
‘Generations’ was lacklustre and contained the most ridiculous plot device ever, a big space-bourne electrical storm that would happily chew up starships, yet allow people like Malcolm McDowell in untouched and then let them live out perfect lives forever. My inner geek would rationalise this by suggesting the Nexus was some sort of imaging or storage device created by an ancient civilisation that has gone awry, but that would be silly. Anyway, it does contain the outstanding sequence where the saucer section of the Enterprise crash lands on the surface of a planet, which is fantastic.
The fact they get pwned by a shitty old Bird of Prey captained by Klingon Fat Slag-alikes Lursa and Be’tor lets it down a bit.
Next came ‘First Contact’, which has a few daft bits, but rips along fast enough for you not to care. The Borg are ace baddies and are truly creepy. Worf and Picard get to act all hard and we get starships fighting a Borg cube. Acers. So why was Insurrection the pile of cack it ended up being. Basically, nobody gives a shit about the hippies living on the planet of eternal life in their shit clothes and soft focus hair-waving. Pah.
They might as well have been Ewoks. At least we could have had a laugh when they got shot. And why am I bothered now, so long after the event? Why am I even writing about this film? I have to. Perhaps, like Annorax from the terrible Star Trek Voyager I want to rewrite history, as the writers of Trek are so fond of doing with their constant trips into the past. By the way, Voyager was endemic of that whole Insurrection era, kind of like; ‘the fans will buy any old tat.’ Well, some of us did and some of us didn’t.
So here is my rewritten storyline for Star Trek Insurrection. I think it would have been much better, and they might not have made Nemesis then. Which was a bit like they thought, hey, Wrath of Khan was good, let’s do that but with Data getting killed. A sad ending to the franchise.
Anyway. Insurrection takes place about the time of the Dominion war as seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. So what do the writers of Insurrection do? Send the Enterprise off on some pissy mission to some nothing planet full of smug tossers. In the words of Winehouse:
NO.
NO.
NO.
You don’t send your most famous ship off to hide. Picard would have bitten his cup of Earl Grey tea in half when he got those orders. So NO.
