Great Links: Trek Bosses, Space Dominatrixes, Enterprise Coolness + more May 21, 2008

by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: Great Links , trackback

This week the great links has trek showing up on lists from the usual best movies, all the way to a list of dominatrixes…really. Plus the USS Enterprise delivers some starship smackdown, a former Trek effects artists shares some of his work, some of which is pretty racy! Plus work lessons from Trek bosses and so much more….

Enterprise is the coolest
In the ‘tell us something we didn’t know’ category, AMC’s SciFi Scanner Blog held a "Coolest Starship Tournament" with sixteen entries for ’round one’ including both A Borg Cube and the TOS movie era Enterprise refit representing Trek. The Cube was eliminated in round one by a Star Destroyer from Star Wars, but Trek came out on top with the Enterprise beating the Star Destroyer in Round 4 to be deemed the overall coolest ship.


Eat it Star Wars

Mojo’s Effects Blog
Speaking of cool ships, former Trek digital effects artist, and author of "Star Trek : Starship Spotter", Adam ‘Mojo’ Lebowitz has started a new blog where he shows off and talks about a lot of his effects work from Trek and current work on Battlestar Galactica. and present. One of his first posts "SciFi Candy: Hi Tech Trek"  shows off a number of wire-frame renders for the Starship Spotter book.


D7 inside out

Trek boss types
Did you know that you can learn how to deal with every kind of boss by watching Star Trek? Well our friends at io9 think so with their guide: The 7 Types Of Bad Bosses According To Star Trek (And How To Survive Them). Each Trek Captain (Kirk, Picard, Archer, Sisko, and Janeway) plus the Borg Queen and Gowron are deemed and archetype.


Kirk a ‘bully’ boss?

Trek on the Lists
Another week and another set of lists.

Abrams Trek climbs the chart
Coverage around the web of some TrekMovie.com minor spoilers pushed JJ Abrams Star Trek up to the #3 spot on the AMC SciFi Scanner "SciFi Power Ranking" for last week.

Khan getting his due
Star Trek II is the superior movie, and so it makes sense that it is on the Zap2It Misfit Blog’s list of six "Essential Sci-Fi Movies" noting it is "as close to the perfect Star Trek experience you can get."

Everybody is talking Genesis
Speaking of Khan and lists, IGN puts Star Trek II’s Genesis Device on its list of "Top 10 Movie MacGuffins."

Data & Borg robots
The Slippery Brick gadget blog put together a list of "54 Memorable Sci-Fi Robots" which includes both Data and The Borg, Norman is understandably upset.

Dominatrix, Dominatrix, what is Dominatrix?!
When io9 compiled a list of the ‘Greatest Dominatrixes of Science Fiction‘ none other than Kara the Eymorg from "Spock’s Brain" came in at #1. The Borg Queen will make them pay for being ignored.


It’s all about the boots

Video of the week: TMP Pon Farr Edition
This week, our video is brought to you by Mojo’s blog (see above) with a behind the scenes ‘mashup’ made while he, Daren Dochterman and others were working on the Director’s Edition DVD of Star Trek The Motion Picture. In a posting titled "Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Pon Farr Edition)", Mojo explains how they were inspired by a scene in TMP where everyone is staring at the viewscreen and it appeared to him they were watching something very intently…and so they made the following which apparently director Robert Wise thought was pretty funny too.

ha ha ha,,
abit to long,,but funny

2. Bill Peters - May 21, 2008

Wow Really intresting…keep up the good work!

3. Jordan - May 21, 2008

Re: the Pon Farr video… yeah, pretty dirty :) Was only funny for about a minute.

4. Chris Pike - May 21, 2008

“Enterprise is the coolest”

Please note bene JJ and co.

5. The Underpants Monster - May 21, 2008

Re: Space Bosses

I always noticed that when Picard was on the Bridge, Riker was all jolly ad friendly, but as soon as he was in charge, he was all hardnosed and “One ‘aye’ will be sufficient” and stuff. Spock, to a degree, was the same way. I always said that Kirk and Picard would be easier to work for than Riker or Spock.

6. SPB - May 21, 2008

IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE BOOTS.

I don’t care if STAR TREK XI does NOT include the following: Velour tunics; black turtlenecks; beehive hairdos, pointy sideburns; bell-bottom trousers; “fu-manchu” Klingon mustaches; Vulcan/Romulan Moe Howard haircuts; bad toupees; Davy Jones wigs; or green v-neck Captain’s tunics.

But they absolutely MUST include go-go boots. That’s where I draw the line. Preferably on every single female in the cast. Thank you and good day.

7. Rick Adams - May 21, 2008

#1 and #3 — The whole point is that it’s too long — it’s a comment on all the unnecessary staring at the viewscreen footage from TMP. ;)

Classic. :)

8. That One Guy - May 21, 2008

SPB,

I’ll see your go-go boots and raise you tight uniforms on male characters. Specifically Spock.

9. Locutus of Alberni - May 21, 2008

This is kindof scary…

That kitten looks just like my wife and my younger cat.

10. Adam Cohen - May 21, 2008

That LOL cat made my day.

11. The Guy that Never Posts - May 21, 2008

My favorite part of the Pon Far video is when McCoy walks in, sees what’s happening, walks out in a huff, then returns with Chekov!

Funny beyond belief

12. Daniel Broadway - May 21, 2008

Nice CG renders. I hope I can do that well one day.

13. AJ - May 21, 2008

Anthony:

I am offended by the sexual innuendo of that obviously artificially extended TMP clip.

I do not understand why you would have the sounds of men and women involved in what sounds like extremely satisfying sexual congress as a backdrop to the penetration of Enterprise into soft unknown interior of (snicker) “V’ger.” .

The film itself has nothing to do with sex, whatsoever, and has a “G” rating!

Protracted silence

Hahahahahahah! OMG! Hahahahahaha!

14. SPB - May 21, 2008

#13 -

Dammit, now I’ll NEVER be able to watch TMP the same way again!!!

“V’Ger”… I do believe we’ve found a new euphemism, thanks to A.J.!

15. cap97 - May 21, 2008

I can’t believe the Millenium Falcon lost to Serenity in round 1. I’m not upset by it necessarily, but dayum!

16. Heywood Jablomee - May 21, 2008

LOL!! Scottycat better be careful near those power couplings, he’s liable to get a little crispy around the paws if he makes one false move! McMeow!

17. Sean4000 - May 21, 2008

There’s just something about that Enterprise E model……..

18. KJTrek - May 21, 2008

vger is sizzlin

I am scarred for life…

19. John from Cincinnati - May 21, 2008

I still like the TOS Enterprise the best. NCC-1701 with no bloody A, B, C, D or E.

20. Blake Powers - May 21, 2008

I think the funny part is that Mr. Sulu looks interested.

21. SD - May 21, 2008

So great, this TMP Pon Farr edition, heheheh.

Also loved the command style comparisons. Interesting!

Thanks for all the links *G*

22. Green-Blooded-Bastard - May 21, 2008

I can’t believe the Enterprise lost to a Star Destroyer. Don’t get me wrong, I love Star Trek, but from a practicality point, one is a gigantic 1,600 meter x 1,000 meter warship carrying an entire army of armed soldiers, ground walking AT-AT’s, armed with armed with turbolasers, ion cannons and tractor beam projectors and a massive fleet of single-pilot fighters (6 squadrons/72 fighters total) that can dogfight autonomously of the ship and can literally swallow smaller ships whole, and the other is the Enterprise.

Incidentally, this would be the smaller ship. The 19,000 meter version is the Dreadnought class Executor.

23. Rick - May 21, 2008

Man the TMP Pon Farr Clip way too funny! Really makes a great comment on one major flaw I felt that film had too much of. ;) So much fun creative TREK stuff out there.

24. Irishtrekkie - May 21, 2008

Star Destroyer are great , they crash into each other , and can never stop a bunch of smugglers , and have the worse aim in the universe .

Meh you say the Name Enterprise , and people think Star Trek,
And Star Trek is Science Fiction, enough said really.
The Enterprise is the most real ship ever.

25. Enterprise Fan - May 21, 2008

The bosses bit is hysterical. I read it in a meeting and had to leave because I couldn’t contain myself. Archer as the Hot Tub Boss left me losing it. Really, really funny!

26. The Underpants Monster - May 21, 2008

I’ve worked for every one of them, mostly Janeways. My current boss is a Gowron. Wish me Qapla’!

27. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

AJ#13- I concur with you. Just because V’ger wanted to “join” with the creator, appropriated the gorgeous, nubile body of a very hot, phernome-laden Deltan (who appeared nude in the sonic shower), and stared dow-eyed at Decker at all times does not mean sex had anything to do with this movie… Even when Ilia and Decker went up in ecstacy-energy flames together at the “climax” of the movie, so-to-speak, I am sure sex was not involved in any way… Oh, and you know that aperature that Spock shot himself into, the one that swallowed him whole, drained him of all physical and mental energy, then shot him back out - there was no sexual subtext there either… Uh, by the way, anybody know how long those photon torpedoes were - you know, the ones they had to shoot into the wormhole…

And my Mirror Universe boots for the Vegas con are better than Kara the Eymorg’s…

28. AJ - May 21, 2008

Denise:

As you know, I totally deny any sexual subtext in “Trek.” It is disgusting!

……..
……..
……..
Denis? Are you still here? ;-)))))

29. AJ - May 21, 2008

The Big E rules, guys. She is the coolest! Anyone here disagree?

30. AJ - May 21, 2008

27: Sorry, Denise!

Dennis Bailey, stay away from this one! LOL

31. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

AJ- You are up late Stockholm time, love. You are correct sir - no sexual subtext at all… Now, where is the knob to turn up the volume on that video of the week… just need to check it again to validate my facts…

32. Commodore Shaggy - May 21, 2008

In regards to that poll, while I would have voted for the Enterprise, it warms my heart to the the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter making it as high as it did. It would be my second choice after the Enterprise.

33. demon barber of starfleet - May 21, 2008

Pon Farr video is too long. Vaguely funny for about a minute though.

34. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

#31 “Now, where is the knob to turn up the volume”

Denise, is that your first instinct after watching such a video?

35. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

Harry- Do you really think I would give you any answer at all, dearheart?

36. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

You just did, sweetcakes!

37. Katie G. - May 21, 2008

PUHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!

You gotta be kidding!

kg

38. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

The Spock reactions are PRICELESS!!!!!

Sulu looks like he’s thinking, “what the hell are they doing?”

39. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

Oh Katie, you know you loved it - you just wil not admit it…

40. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

will, not wil

41. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

By the way, Katie, Xai talked Poopey into changing his name back to Closet. I am crestfallen…

42. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

Denise, you wanted me to listen to that provocative soundtrack, you lamented over not being able to party with me in Washington………does your lust know no bounds?

I may have to tell Anthony about your relentless efforts to pursue me….

43. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

Harry- Spock was the only one I was watching. He seemed fascinated, to say the least…

44. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

Spock looked like he was musing, “she’s got the curves, I’ve got the angles……highly logical!”

45. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

Harry- Anthony, Harry wants to tell you I am relentlessly pursuing him. Any response?

46. Chris M - May 21, 2008

That Pon Farr video was hilarious!

The lines at the end spoken by Kirk and Spock make all the more funny!

Friendship messages recieved indeed!!

47. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

I love Anthony’s Eat It Starwars caption under E at the top.

48. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

Denise, it would seem that my “friendship messages” have been received!

49. Denise de Arman - May 21, 2008

Harry- Whatever you need to believe to get you through the night, my darling…

50. Harry Ballz - May 21, 2008

Denise, my lovely sex kitten, you’ll come to find in life that there is a fine line between being playful……and ripping a man’s heart out and stuffing it down his throat……….tread cautiously, my pet!

51. chrispikeswheelchair - May 21, 2008

OMG very funny indeed! My favorite is Kirks expression towards the end where he winces at what sounds like the money shot on screen, that one put me off the chair! You say Vger…I say Vag…..nr……

Oh and Sulu was interested, just not focused on the same species everyone else on the bridge was.

52. Scott Xavier - May 22, 2008

Could you imagine working for Tuvok! AYE!

53. The Last Maquis - May 22, 2008

the “Pon Far” thing, That’s why the Enterprise Rules!!!
And Kirk was like, “That’s nothing!!”

54. Doug - May 22, 2008

After reading post #27 I almost feel like I should be smoking a cigarette in bed (and I don’t smoke)…. hahahahaha

note: I have not seen the clip in question (yet) as I am on a military computer…

55. 4 8 15 16 23 42 - May 22, 2008

#22 — I am a big Star Wars fan as well as Star Trek fan, so my opinion “counts” ;-) — I have to say that I agree the TMP 1701 Enterprise beats an Imperial Star Destroyer in terms of looks any day.

Here is where I get atypical, though: I prefer the Sovereign class Enterprise-E to the TMP Constitution class refit Enterprise. I also really like the Vulcan ship in First Contact and the ones in the series Enterprise.

But Star Wars ships at the smaller scale beat anything out of Star Trek. Give me the Slave I (Jango & Boba Fett’s ship, for the uninitiated) and I’ll be grateful for life….

56. haissemguy - May 22, 2008

I love the bit in the pon farr video at 2:36 when Kirks headrest extends and his face while its happening lol.

Check it out its amazing.

57. Chris - May 22, 2008

That sounds like the best pRon ever! Vulcan love slaves rock.

58. Holger - May 22, 2008

Strange that they left out some obvious first choices in that Top Space Dominatrices list, but went for some pretty obscure entrances instead (Granny Goddess??). Where’s Aeon Flux (the cartoon version, please), Starbuck (What? A guy played Starbuck, too? Can’t believe that!), the Borg Queen, Tasha Yar? And Princess Ardala isn’t really what I’d call a dominatrix, more of am egocentric hedonistic high society woman.
This list does not convince me. Must do better!

59. Zikki R. - May 22, 2008

The Pon Farr clip rules!

60. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Doug#54- Why, thank you. And stay safe over there.

61. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

For a moment I thought I was in the captain’s lounge. You guys were going off.

Ya’ know, I just never could get behind the Enterprise E. It’s a nice looking ship and all, but it just didn’t capture my imagination. I think maybe making it sleek was a mistake, at least to my eyes. It seemed unecessary, like it was looking cool just for the sake of being cool. Some of the later designs in the Star Trek series’ had a tendency to do that: substitute form for function. Honestly, that’s why I always mourned the loss of the Enterprise D. I still remain unwavered in my position that it was a cool looking ship that nowdays doesn’t seem to get it’s due. But it just appeared like it had a logical reason for looking the way it did.

62. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Harry- I love you, my dear, but when you start something with me, you must be prepared for the inevitable outcome. Take a clue from CmdrR, Beach, AJ, THX… do not challenge me - love me!

63. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

THX- How did Mongo like the video of the week? I hope he did not become frightened and go hide under the stairs again.

64. AJ - May 22, 2008

For a moment, I thought I was on Chat!

Denise, there’s someone here who wants to meet you…

Spock: “Denise? I can’t hear you or see you, but I can feel you…the longing, the passion and my pent up…emotions!…I can’t!…”

Denise, someone else just walked in!

Mirror Spock: “Hey, baby! Guinan! Get this pretty girl here a drink!”

Spock: “Pain!”

Mirror Spock: “Denise, my girl? (Does a double-shot of Jack) If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?”

Denise: “Harry? Is that you?”

Spock: “My mother…I could never tell her I love her!…”

Denise: “Oh Sh*t. I am outta here right now…”

65. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

Denise, I haven’t had a chance to look at it. Yesterday I was at the office and tend to steer clear of the NSFW stuff, and when I got home I kept away from the computer and just played basketball with the kids in the neighborhood. So Mongo didn’t have a chance to see it. I might keep it away from him though. He tends to get a bit, how should I say, worked up over such material.

On the other hand, as Austin Powers would say, that sort of thing IS my bag, baby. Havta have a little looksee, what do you say?

I did read MOJO’s blog. Cool stuff. I liked the cylon stuff from last week.

66. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Anthony- Good job with the video of the week selection! I would suggest that you link to the Closer video on youtube, however, since the song is primarily based upon the F word, it may not be appropriate for more discerning ears among us, I suppose…

67. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

AJ- LOL! No, I would not leave poor Spock in his pain. I would comfort him, have a drink with the other Spock at the same time, and wait for the magic words: “My eyes are flame! My heart is flame!”…

68. Mike Uchman - May 22, 2008

I am sorry, everyone, but I have to disagree with all of you, except for the select few who actually said the pon farr clip was innapropriate. To that, I must agree. I found the clip to be extremely rude. I mean, this site used to be all nice and go without all the rude stuff and what I call sexual content such as the pon farr video clip, but now….I think I just lost an extremely large amount of faith in this site. Yes, the articles are entertaining, and I especially pay attention to the Saturday ones and any artivle with news on Trek XI, but really, this article was just too rude for my tastes. And before someone here goes shouting maybe I’m too young, for everyones information, I have a drivers license and I am less than a month short of 20 years old. As for my faith in Trekmovie.com after seeing this article, as I said, I pretty much lost just about all of it. I think I will move on to a website that so happens to be a little more mature in what they post in their articles such as, lets see, the official website for Trek XI, which doesnt even post as much stuff as trekmovie.com does. I will still read the move news articles that get posted saturday nights, but other than that, I’ve pretty much lost the will to bother reading anything else. Ban me or so if you wish, but this is all my personal opinion, and that of the other three people who live with me (aka my parents and my brother), who sometimes read this stuff even though they dont like Trek. Anyone else have any opinions other than scolding me and whatnot for saying this? I would love to hear them.

69. CmdrR - May 22, 2008

Yes, there are an ungodly number of reaction shots in TMP.

70. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Mike#68- I will not scold you, Mike, but I will say that I feel a bit sorry for you. You do not seem to have a sense of humour, and as you make your journey through life you will find it easier to traverse the bumps in the road if you can laugh at yourself and the situations you encounter. Sorry if you could not appreciate the light-hearted fun we are having in regards to this thread.

71. CmdrR - May 22, 2008

I suspect that Mike will not enjoy the George Clooney movie, either… just because of the title.

For the record, I do not stare at goats… in any sense of the words.

72. Mike Uchman - May 22, 2008

Denise#70- Contrary to what you might think, I do have a sense of humour. It just doesnt go so far as to laugh when people in the pon farr clip sound like they are having sex. To me, thats just like watching sexually explicit material on the internet from those adult websites out there, whatever they call themselves. No offense to anyone here but thats just how I feel.

73. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

CmdrR#71- LOL!

74. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

So Mike, when you saw the words “For adults Only” written right above the video, why did you go ahead and watch it? I appreciate the facts that you don’t like material such as this, but I do not feel sorry for anyone who ignores a written warning. Nobody forced your finger to click that mouse. Anthony did his duty and let us all know that it might not be for everyone.

You can like or dislike anything you wish. But your complaints about something you didn’t have to watch and certainly weren’t caught unsuspecting just don’t make any sense.

75. Mike Uchman - May 22, 2008

THX- Actually, I did see the warning. It said it was for adults, so I figured it had some sort of vulgar language or something, but not sounds of people having sex. It would have been nice if the warning said it had such sounds instead of just “for adults only” which could mean, as we all should know by now, anything.

76. New Horizon - May 22, 2008

68. Mike Uchman

It’s a joke. As Spock would say, “A story with a humorous ‘climax’”! ;)

There was also a warning, why did you watch it? You chose to watch it, that’s no fault of anyone who posted the link, and it was your own responsibility to heed or ignore the warning. You’re old enough to have formed opinions, but the next step in maturity is accepting responsibility for your choices.

Whether something is offensive or not can often be a very personal matter. There was nothing visually explicit in the video, it was just a bunch of rather suggestive noises. When you take all those scenes of the crew staring so seriously at the screen, and put it to a bunch of sounds that were so obviously out of context…it’s pretty funny to a lot of people. I find it hilarious, mainly because is so absolutely ridiculous and out of context. I didn’t find it sexually stimulating, it was just silly fun. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but hey…that’s life. There are all ranges of humor and just because you find something offensive doesn’t mean there aren’t others on this site who might be able to appreciate the humor as it was intended.

If you didn’t find it funny, that’s absolutely fine, but I don’t think you should feel the need to run off in search of a ‘mature’ website. This site is extremely fair and well balanced. Part of maturity is accepting difference in taste and beliefs….rather than hiding from them. We can’t run off and find a place to hide every time something in the world doesn’t meet with our expectations of the reality we’ve been raised in, or that we’ve created around ourselves. Reality is, at best, a fluid thing….ever changing, and subject to a million different interpretations. A different interpretation for each set of eyes it is seen through. It is not something that one person can or should feel entitled to define.

77. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

That’s a cop out, dude. So someone dropping the F bomb is OK, but people involved in passionate congress are not? Your reasoning still does not make sense and I still contend that you are the one in error. Perhaps it is just personal taste, but I’ll take the sounds and scenes of love-making over the same of violence and anger. I would hope that it speaks to my own emotional health.

78. CmdrR - May 22, 2008

OK, you’re bringin’ out the preachy side of this old Trek horse.
I think the pon farr parody is perfect for Trek. Why? Trek is a creature of the 60’s, just like Playboy, James Bond and other venues that treated sex with humor (albeit sophmoric at times.) I can’t get prudish, because I was raised on cleavage and Dean Martin-style sex jokes. Trek TOS was full of them. If anything, I disliked the first season of TNG because it seemed to take a step backwards in its morality. It spoke of sex being free, but then people pimpled up and choked when it came right down to it. (They should have killed Wesley, but not for trampling flowers — for refusing to ongo boingo with the blonde nymphets.) Anyway — I’m all for sex humor, as long as we’re all consenting adults.

79. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

On review: Well put, New Horizon.

80. Mike Uchman - May 22, 2008

Well, CmdrR, since you put it that way, I guess you do have a point. I guess I forgot that Trek was created in the 60’s, in a time where stuff like that would’ve been considered not appropriate for TV, but then again Trek was all about those issues. I guess in review, perhaps I was in error. But then again, you can’t really completely blame me for the way i was brought up, which in all honesty, can’t possibly the 100 percent perfect way, which I understand. But I do understand where you are coming from.

81. Commodore Lurker - May 22, 2008

Moving on . . .

82. AJ - May 22, 2008

Mike:

Sorry if the content offends. Lots of us like it, and you’ll see the names here tend to often comment bawdily on the content of the show. Many are “over 40,” and we can handle it.

Star Trek, as many of us know it, is about sex. It’s about Kirk and Spock, Picard and Crusher (Mrs.), and about how groups of adults live together in enclosed environments in Space.

Sex (gasp!) made you. There are 6 billion people here, so that is 6 billion or so confirmed sexual encounters in the last 100 years. Why is it offensive to discuss? It’s as natural as eating or pooping (no offense intended), and some people are scared of it!

Did you know that the Deltans have sex so much that they are required to take an oath of celibacy to serve in Starfleet?

Have you imagined that Spock, from the age of 7, was betrothed to a young Vulcan girl with whom he must mate every seven years? He had to mate with a Starfleet officer as a surrogate in STIII as his body aged. And Kirk was the happy hooker of the galaxy.

Sex is real and part of life.

83. CmdrR - May 22, 2008

Many are “over 40,” and we can handle it.

Some of us are nearly 46, and damn grateful for it.

84. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

AJ–

You forgot to count Wilt Chamberlin. That puts the count near 7 billion.

CmdrR.–

Amen, brother. Amen.

85. Harry Ballz - May 22, 2008

Next month I turn 53 and LOVE LIFE!!

86. AJ - May 22, 2008

Wilt the Stilt!

(Running as fast as I can!)

87. AJ - May 22, 2008

Harry:

35 :-) is a wonderful age. Enjoy!

88. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

Harry, try this one: I always say I’m celebrating the anniversary of my 21st birthday. This just happens to be the 22nd anniversary.

89. Harry Ballz - May 22, 2008

Did you hear the one about the math professor who demonstrated to the lovely co-ed how 47 could go into 21………..3 times?

>Riker was all jolly ad friendly, (…). Spock, to a degree, was the same way.

I know you didn’t mean this at all, but I found it enormously funny and had to point it out.

XDD

My two cents: I thought the pon farr video was hilarious. It didn’t show or verbally describe anything inappropriate - it left it to your imagination. (As a married 46 year female with children, I have a real good imagination.)

93. Anthony Pascale - May 22, 2008

I have added the two words ’sexual content’ to the video, but really the not safe for work should have been enough of a hint. And if Robert Wise thought it was funny, who are we to argue.

for anyone who was offended I am sorry, but there was a warning. And has been pointed out there actually was no foul language in the vid, or sexual imagery. Mojo tells me that it took him a while to find audio that actually had not a single bad word in it.

Hi Mike,
Your point is very valid. It is a bit rude. I personally liked it very much, but I can understand how you could be offended. Did you consider clicking off the clip as soon as you heard those sweet soulful sounds? It appears that you waited until the clip was over. This site has it’s ups and downs Just like the people off camera on the ponn far clip were having them (different kind of ups and downs I’ll admit) Just be careful of what you open from now on.
I want the full viewscreen version next time.

95. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Anthony- Out of all the people on the site, poor Mike was the only one offended (I have never even seen him post here before). Do not pay any mind - your first warning was more than sufficient. The thread info is riotous and Mojo did a great job with the video. Kudos.

96. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Krik- LOL!

97. AJ - May 22, 2008

Anthony,

I am waiting for Senssurround!

Oh, crap! How old am I?!

98. Anthony Pascale - May 22, 2008

denise, thanks but remember only 1% of visitors post so there are likely more offended people. That being said this site is for trek fans who are primarily adults.

I really cant run the site entirely for the few who are easily offended….that is what the warning was for.

so in future if you are of a delicate nature….dont click things that have warnings.

99. Krik Semaj - May 22, 2008

Anthony,

So you’re saying that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

100. Sean4000 - May 22, 2008

As much as we don’t see eye to eye…that video had me on the floor.

Good find Anthony.

101. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

I’m gonna try this again cause I think the spam filter is on.

This reminds me of the time there was a house sub-committee convening on decency. They had to watch dirty movies and judge what was obscene. They had such a difficult time coming to a decision that they watched each movie three times and took them home to privately make a judgement.

102. Denise de Arman - May 22, 2008

Krik & THX- LOL!

Anthony- You are the best webmaster on the net, especially when you favor your sometimes ungrateful posters with treats like this thread. I would beam down with you to Risa anytime.

103. THX-1138 The Fandom Menace - May 22, 2008

OK, I got home and watched the vid. I have four words:

Hi. Lair. Ee. Us.

The final lines from Kirk and Spock are perfect. The whole thing reminded me of a bachelor party I went to that went on a bit too long. Mongo said it sounded like someone had too much catnip.

104. AJ - May 22, 2008

Anthony:

1% of visitors post? Really?

See reply in “Chat” thread.

BTW I haven’t watched any of these videos. My slow dial-up is MADDENING!!!!!!!!!!!

106. Anthony Pascale - May 22, 2008

yes only 1% or less post….that is the same for most websites. it is like talk radio….how many people actually call in? so in a sense the needs of the many would be towards the lurkers

107. Xai - May 22, 2008

So, according to the label on my lawn mower, I shouldn’t stick my finger under the mower housing while the blades are engagggggggggggggggggggggggaaaaaggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Sorry, Mike and Anthony… the Vulcan made me do it.

108. AJ - May 23, 2008

Anthony,

I am just really surprised at the stat. 1% or less.

#78, CmdrR:

I give Wesley a pass on that one - growing up in Beverly’s sole custody must have been confusing for any young boy, especially where women are concerned! Isf she hadn’t gotten him out to the Enterprise under the influence of his space uncles when she did, he mioght have ended up as a 24th-century Norman Bates! ;-)

110. Mike Uchman - May 23, 2008

Actually, I have posted in other articles, Denise. It might be that you just missed them or something, but I only started to post on here within the last month. As for my earlier comment, well I still think it was rude, but everyone else here does have a point. I did actually yesterday reconsider and watch the whole clip. I found it rude, but then again, I actually found myself laughing at one point. Perhaps they way I was brought up was not entirely the correct way, but hey, what way is? But Anthony is right, there isnt really any mention of the word sex in the clip. Its just the background noises made it sound like thats what was happening, which is why I guess it was funny. Anyway, I’ll try to be a litle more open to these things.

111. Adam - May 23, 2008

Anthony,

The - funniest - trek - video - ever.
