Star Trek Week #4: Hooray!
Friday, May 08, 2009
After that vast acreage of writing about cult classic remakes this morning, it seems appropriate to celebrate our final day of Star Trek Week as succinctly as possible. And, of course, to note that the new Star Trek movie is getting reviews that suggest that it might actually be a successful redevelopment of a cult classic. We already have our tickets booked; I'll let you know on Monday.
So let's close out Star Trek week together, with a selection of two or three of the more wonderful things the internet can offer.
First off: cake! Jen over at Cakewrecks celebrated Star Trek week her way, with (successful) Star Trek cakes.
I like this one, as it celebrates both Star Trek and pop culture's most famous split infinitive.
Kate Beaton just discovered Star Trek! Doesn't Spock have a lovely scowl?
Finally , if you have fifteen or twenty minutes to spend at the Youtubes, you might want to check out Gazorra's Star Trek episodes. We were particularly taken with "That Jean-Luc Picard," "Elementary, My Dear Beefcake," "A Fistful of Explosions," and "Uneventful Day," but we've included two of our absolute favorites below. (They are particularly fun to watch at dinner parties, with Madeira.)
