This week our collection of Trek in the zeitgeist has the Internet putting Star Trek on a lot of lists – from Blasters, to special effects, to cheesy moments and even tattoos. We also have a knitted Scotty meerkat, a remade ST09 scene, a new Trek web comic and more. Check it all out below.

VIDEO of the week: Indie film makers remake ST09 scene
The team behind an independent thriller called "Tilt: The Movie" are partially funding their film with contributions, and larger contributors are allowed to make requests for re-enactments. One $250 contributor wanted to see a scene from Star Trek 2009.

Slap happy
Ah Tattoos. They’re so pointless.
Anthony Pascale, just a question, how did the screening for “Star Trek V” with Walter Koenig go last night? Really wanted to go.
That meerkat is awesome, but where are Scotty’s regulation boots? Or, for that matter, pants?
Some — urm, most? — of those portrait tattoos look demonic. Of course, George looks possessed in real life in that picture. So it goes…

“Ah Tattoos. They’re so pointless.”
Unless you’re in prison, or if you want to have something to show off to George Takei!
OH MMMYYYYYY!!!
C’mon, you knew somebody had to say it. :)

If you’re not proud of anything. SOME of us like Individuality.
slapping? i’d rather they kiss (but i’m into lesbianism)
I bet the “aspect ratio” of those portraits was more accurate about 40 pounds ago.
Why does the PVP cartoon have the Enterprise crew with zombie eyes?
Tattoos are pointless, but I’m not going to tell the one eyed girl that….
She probably lost it in a knife fight
Individuality these days means NOT getting a tattoo
ahaha i love george takei. his expression is so funny/adorable.
Hey Trek Movie site! Thank you so much for posting our Star Trek clip for our Tilt campaign. What a delightful surprise.
Thanks for linking to Scotty – and Hat Rick, surely you know meerkats don’t wear boots ;-)
Hah! That’s great!
The Vulcan bitch slap!
