I hope you didn't think it was the official music video to it, but I'm glad you liked it. If anyone wants to see the rest of my work so far (all being sketch comedy), check out my youtube profile. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=image0434 Thanks Hey, thanks for posting my music video up on this.

I was quite pleased and pleasantly surprised. My partner is not a ballet buff and even he enjoyed the performance. It was easy on the eyes, vibrant, and full of energy. The audience seemed to respond with high praise as well. The applause didn't seem to end. I'll admit.. even though I'm a fan of the Shat - hearing "Shatner: The Ballet" had me quite skeptical and I was not quite sure what to expect. Like any self-respecting trekkie I went in with an open-mind.. :) His poetry was fun to listen to, and Ben Folds 5's music was neat. The only thing I disliked about the show was that the music overpowered the lyrics. There was so much going on that I found it difficult to concentrate on both the poetry and the ballet. Neat show!

I like the guy ...Good actor...one of the three reasons I watch Boston Legal .. I imagine I'll have to get "Has Been" myself one of these days. Not the filler news I was expecting though.

According to the writers' handbook (of which I got a cheap copy) Rodenberry felt that for TNG the job of Chief Engineer was too big for just one person. So, you had a woman, Argyle, and a few others. Ultimately, Geordi got the gig in Season 2. Argyle was likeable enough, but IMHO was too much like an inferior effort to redo Scotty. Yes, #34.

I am both appalled and excited by either appellation…

But serious folks… wasn’t he one of TNG’s first season revolving chief engineers or something?
