We went. We saw. We...well, we enjoyed ourselves the only way we know how:


And yes, we totally got these for our respective automobile-crafts. It's only goddamn fitting.

It's December 22nd and you know what that means. Sure we're 3 days away from Christmas, but even more importantly, today was the release day of Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. Directed by Tim Russ, better known as Tuvok from Vayager, this fan film, starring many actual actors from the show (mostly TNG and Voyager), is actually not terrible.

Strarring Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nicholos as Chekov and Uhura, respectively, this 3 part mini-series is set 12 years after Captain Kirk's (apparent) death while aboard the Enterprise. It's too bad George Takie couldn't make an appearance but I suppose he's earning that sweet, sweet Heroes dollr now. But basically, f your a trekker like myself I definitely reccomend you take 26 minutes out of your day to watch this. The special effects are not bad for their obvious shoe-string budget, the acting is pretty much what you should expect from any Star Trek production (e.i. ham-fisted at times *cough Walter Koenig Cough*, but overall enjoyable to watch), the sets are pretty cool (especially the Enterprise bridge and the suface of Vulcan), and the costumes and makeup are the best part of the production. While never a huge fan of ST:TOG I always liked the bright uniforms and awesome creature feature costumes that the other series attempted to make more "believable", but this mini does it right. The plot is a little incoherent at times, as it would seem that ST:OGAM is trying to tell too much story, and sneak in too much fandom, in a limited amount of time. But it's worth it enough just for the cameos alone.

Alan Ruck who plays Capt. John Harriman, the captain who was piloting to USS Enterprise-B when Kirk died, in Generations returns as the acting captain of the Enterprise. Tim Russ as Tuvok makes an appearance as Uhura's friend on the planet Vulcan, sorta remniscent of the Voyager episode "Flashback" and his interactions with Sulu. Ethan Phillips (Neelix) makes a short cameo in the begining as an engineer of a space station and fellow Voyager alum Garret Wang (Harry Kim) shows up as a space pirate. All I have to say is that Garret Wang has really buffed up since his Voyager days, he is all man now.

But the greatest cameo of all: THE GUARDIAN OF FOREVER

Of course, from the infamous "Harlen Ellsion written" episode, City on the Edge of Forever.

Anyway, take my word, it ain't half bad. Hopefully episode 2 and 3 will clear up a bit of the confusion tho.

And now, for the bong rattling conclusion of the Dinosaur Planet.



Hehehe... golden river.

For those of you too lazy to actually read comics for yourself.


Thanks to our friends at Secret Caverns.



The menacing Pteridactyl sound effect is worth it just by itself, not to mention the Steve Miller Band sound from Jungle Love.
Also, Mr. Spock is sure chatty in the comic books.
