Take less than a minute out of your life to listen to
Christina Aguilera in the original Klingon
, and in the process learn why you should knock before entering on the starship
Enterprise
.

Thank God There's Not a "George's Journal" ...
"
Hi. My name is Gene and this is my journal.
" Young Gene Roddenberry meets two Garfield-eyed aliens who proceed to take him everywhere in their exploration of this strange planet Earth. In the process, we see where Gene came up with the idea of a unified
borderless
,
moneyless
world that would allow
dashing starship captains
to
seek out new life and new civilizations
, boldly going
where no one has gone before
. We see where Gene first met
tribbles
,
Orion slave girls
,
Organians
, and the
Guardian of Forever
, and how Gene came up with
phasers
,
tricorders
, the
Prime Directive
,
food replicators
(from which he orders
gagh
),
Questor
androids, and the
Enterprise
design.

Wait a tick. Basil, if I travel back to 1969 and I was frozen in 1967, presumably, I could go back and visit my frozen self. But, if I'm still frozen in 1967, how cou ... oh, no, I've gone cross-eyed.

Data's mad at you, and he's still carrying a grudge.
Data's mad at you, and he's still carrying a grudge.
Four years after the movie tanked, Brent Spiner, who portrayed the character of
Data
, still thinks it's your fault that
Star Trek: Nemesis
performed poorly
compared to
its predecessor
. "'Let's make
a movie
for
the fans
, because that's the people who actually go to see the films.' And what happened?," Spiner rhetorically asks. "They didn't go!" (Other films that opened around the same time included
a small arthouse production from An Nua-Shealainn
.) It might have instead been that the movie resembled "
a 65th class reunion mixer where only eight surviving members show up — and there's nothing to drink
." Of course, one can take pity on Spiner; one look at his
filmography
and realize he's only a few
cancellations
away from having to
sing for his supper
. But at least he didn't end up (unjustly)
on the cutting room floor
(In the meantime,
Shatner has his own problems
.)
