Obama gets Trekkie Cred hanging out with Nichelle Nichols...!

In case you haven't heard the story, Nichelle Nichols felt she wasn't doing much on Star Trek, and was going to quit the show. During that time, she was introduced to Martin Luther King Jr., who told her that she shouldn't leave the show because she was playing a black woman on TV and she wasn't a maid. She was playing our future- us working and living together as equals.

Well, many years later, to see this picture:

 Really brings the message home- Nichelle Nichols, standing with Barack Obama, the first Black President of the United States, holding up the Vulcan salute.

How cool is that?

Captain Kirk or Christopher Columbus?

So, someone sent this to me, and I just HAD to re-post it. What would happen if two epic explorers had a rap battle?

45 Sexy Trek girls...

Are you noticing a pattern in this blog? I'm just sayin'... the book is Captain Kirk's Guide To Women, and if I didn't include a bunch of Sexy Star Trek girls, what would I be writing about? So, although I'm not writing much here, you can enjoy the pictures:

Top 10 Reasons Kirk is Better than Picard

Yeah, yeah- you've maybe seen this list before, but my friends Shawn and Mia Deluca got sent me this shirt, and I thought I'd wear it proudly at the next event I go to. Agree, or disagree?

10. One word: Hair!
9. Kirk would personally throw Wesley off his bridge.
8. Kirk would never sing to children in a crisis.
7. Kirk wasn't shy about taking his shirt off.
6. Kirk can beat a Klingon bare-handed.
5. Three words: Flying Leg Kick.
4. Kirk doesn't let the doctor tell him what to do.
3. If Kirk finds a strange spinning probe, he blows it up.
2. Kirk never drinks tea, ever.
1. Kirk can beat a Vulcan at chess.

William Shatner is MY Kirk.

I saw this picture here, and it just made me write this:

Look, I have no problem with Chris Pine, and the truth is I think he did a great job as "Kirk 2.0", and I even loved J.J. Abrams' reboot idea- I want the whole thing to succeed deliriously.

But William Shatner is MY Captain Kirk.

I used to not understand when my dad would say that he didn't like "those new James Bonds"; I was like "What's the big deal- it's the same character?" But it's not the same with Captain Kirk.

William Shatner is MY Captain Kirk.

And it's not just the supposed over-acting, and it's not some childhood nostalgia; Trek was already cancelled and in reruns when I stayed up late at night watching them under the covers on my portable TV. It was already a geeky thing when I came home from Bronx Science and watched the reruns as I waited for my mom to come home from work.

It's the passion that I saw in Captain Kirk's eyes.

Excuse me- It's the passion that I saw in SHATNER'S Captain Kirk's eyes.

Excuse me again- it's the passion that I SEE in Shatner's Captain Kirk's eyes.

The passion for friendship, for romance, and for justice. The passion that has reignited a career over and over again, and still brings people together to enjoy themselves in front of it.

The passion that makes a reboot with Chris Pine even possible.

So, I dedicate this blog, my love for Star Trek, and my love for Trekkies, to William Shatner-

MY Captain Kirk.

If you feel the same way, share this with someone, would ya?

Geek Treats at the SHATNER BALL

I went to the SHATNER BALL in Bklyn last week, and had some DEE-LISH baked goods- all Geek-centric too! They were made by Geek.Treats@Yahoo.com , and whereas they don't have a website yet (huh? Reall? and these are Geeks?), they certainly had some tasty recipes and cupcakes! Oh- and the girls were cute too:
