Toon Time — ‘Dress Rehearsal’

Posted on December 11, 2013 | 8 comments

Spock surely finds this situation “a puzzlement”.  I’d just say it’s fair play!

FArFri – Real Men Fear Not-by shazam26

Posted on November 29, 2013 | Leave a comment

Kirk__Spock__McCoy___REAL_MEN_by_shazam26I thought this was pretty funny — See, even the Enterprise Men need a little sprucing up in the morning to retain their fabulous-ness!   As the artist describes on DeviantArt:

“Real men fear NOTHING.…NOT EVEN PRETTINESS.

Ehem.
Ihavewantedtodothisforfartoolong.

(The boys of the Enterprise would like to offer a friendly reminder: that although they get up rather early in the morning to perfect their hairstyles, get on their make up, and enjoy their share of flamboyant attire, they’ll still boss you around, make you feel supid and then kick your ass- be it a spine punch, a neck pinch… or a good old fashioned hypo. You have been warned.”

This also reminds me of a scene from a famous blooper reel where De, Bill, Leonard and James pretended to shave with their phasers!  Have a nice weekend , Everyone!

FArFri – Star Trek Pop Art by Des Taylor

Posted on November 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

For this week’s fan art, I just came across these today, and they’re fantastic! Star Trek re-imagined by artist Des Taylor.   Now wouldn’t you love to see a cartoon based on these?! (This would blow the whole Filmation version out of the water!) Look how deliciously sly Kirk looks!

She looks like a cross between Dr. Helen Noel and Joan Holloway of Mad Men! (Which is surprisingly similar to my StarTreKomic of 2011) : http://atomic-temporary-24015876.wpcomstaging.com/startrekomics/#jp-carousel-818

The artist really digs the uniforms, especially on the women!

Separated at Birth? Star Trek Lookalikes

Posted on November 20, 2013 | 3 comments

While watching old episodes of Trek, I’ve always thought that Majel Barrett (No. 1, Nurse Christine Chapel) could have been a twin, or at least a sister to the great comic actress Eve Arden.  (Our Miss Brooks, Mildred Pierce, Grease). Both women had similar speech delivery and mannerisms.  Check out any of Ms. Arden’s movies and you’ll see what I mean. With this in mind, I gathered up a bunch of other celebrity lookalikes in the Star Trek Universe.  Let me know if you can think of any more!

FArFri: ‘Mr. Spock’ by Crazzity

Posted on November 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

For this week’s Fan Art Friday, here’s a great, dynamic piece by young artist Crazitty on Deviant Art. The hands , facial expression and shadow are particularly intense.   Crazzity is only 19, and from Sweden. I am always amazed and delighted that these original Trek Characters still create an artistic buzz nearly 50 years later! I hope we’ll see much more from this talented artist!mr__spock_by_crazzity-d6rg210

Wideo Wednesday: The Shuttlecraft Galieo Rides Again!

Posted on November 13, 2013 | Leave a comment

Hey Kids,

Did you hear about what happened to the original  Shuttlecraft Galileo Prop for Star Trek?  Thanks to my brother John for sending this to me!  (Yet I find it ironic that the footage they show from TOS in the original series is not the actual prop, but the updated CGI effects!)   It appears that there is very little of the original prop left after the restoration, but hey, it’s the legacy that counts! And, at the risk of overuse, this was truly a (fan) labor or love!  Enjoy.  Maybe someday I’ll go see it in Texas…

BEFORE: The very sad looking remains of the original Star Trek Shuttle Galileo.

Netflix Rep Makes a Great Starfleet Captain

Posted on October 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

I came across this funny article today — There is a  Netflix  Customer Representative who portrays himself as a Starfleet Captain to his customers when solving their problems.  “Captain Mike Mears” safely delivers his customers through the wormholes of bad reception.  A particular  conversation he had with a customer recently was especially Trek-worthy; both Mike and his customer stayed in character through the whole conversation!  Best customer rep ever! (Jim Kirk would be proud!)

If I ever need to talk to Netflix, I hope I get this guy! Good to know that the universe is safe from bad reception!  Enjoy:

The Daily Scrapbook “Leonard Nimoy- At Last, He’s a Man!

Posted on October 14, 2013 | 1 comment

Here’s today’s flashback:  From a movie magazine in the early 70’s, this article declares that Nimoy is at last a man!.  No, it’s not about his Bar Mitzvah some 30 years earlier, but rather how he’s finally playing a human male in Mission Impossible! Yet despite it’s praise for Nimoy’s achievements, the actor was never far from the shadow of Mr. Spock.  I have to admit though, I’ve never thought of Mr. Spock as having ‘green skin’ (it was more just pale with a touch of green cast!)  The snotty caption under the publicity picture doesn’t help!  One has no doubt than Nimoy was all man to begin with!
