If you got any of those references, you'll probably enjoy my blog. If you got most of those references? You'll totally love my blog. Its also fairly safe for work with the occasional exception.

Please feel free and heavily encouraged to re-blog anything I've posted. Re-blogging is like a round of applause IMHO, really makes me happy to see my stuff re-blogged; even if I myself re-blogged it from someone else. Likes are good too, but they're like a thumbs up. Applause trumps a thumbs up, you know?

Favorite Things as Evidenced by the Introduction are (In No Particular Order): Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica (modern), Firefly, Batman, Superman, DC Comics, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Cats, My Autographs, old school Star Wars (the prequels suck!), Pretty Genre Gals, Funny Stuff ... and my gods I Sound like a Loser with that List! Oh Well.

Also, I Don't Post a Lot. I'm Much More of a Quality over Quantity type. Usually less than Ten Posts a Day. So you may have to Really Look through your Dash to Notice what I post.

Oh, also a note for my fellow Trekkies: I'm the guy responsible for TrekCore.com's Rare Photo and Ultimately Human specials, and basically flooding the internet via TrekCore with a few thousand awesome and rare Star Trek photos for the past 5 years. So... yeah. Oh and, go through my Archive, it is frakking awesome and shiny!
The rarest variant Original Series cast photo.  All the other versions of this one where taken from off to the right, with the cast looking ahead off into nothing.  This is the only one of them straight-on on the bridge. ((Like This?  Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!))
The cast and creators of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.  In addition to Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura, we’ve also got director Leonard Nimoy (who technically did not star in the film; he only appeared in the end scenes and was not in the opening credits) producer Ralph Winter, producer Harve Bennett, and Trek overall Creator Gene Roddenberry. ((Like This?  Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!))
I don’t think I’ve posted this one yet… It’s not easy to get Nichelle Nichols to sign “Hailing Frequencies Open”… I was lucky she had had her coffee that morning, she said, lol. ((Like This?  Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!))
I love the subtext of this photo.  Just look at the glare Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) is giving Bill Shatner.  Look at the neutral yet unhappy expressions on the faces of George Takei and Walter Koenig.  The body language of Shatner in the chair, as pseudo-Papa Gene Roddenberry seemingly corrects his star on some thing or another. ((Like This?  Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!))
Another rejected poster for Star Trek VI.  This and the other came from the website of the poster artist, I believe Bob Peak, back a few years ago.  Can’t quite remember. While I like the poster they eventually settled on, I wish Bill Shatner’s ego would have let the fab four (Scotty Sulu Chekov and Uhura) get some spot-light time on at least the swan-song film, you know?
Rejected posted for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Reason for the rejection?  William Shatner’s inflated ego.  He didn’t want to share that much of the spot-light.  Seriously.
Love: Star Trek
HAPPY 45th ANNIVERSARY STAR TREK!


45 years ago on this date, September 8 1966, the original Star Trek television series premiered. It was a low-budget, sometimes campy, space adventure described by it’s creator as ‘wagon train’ to the stars. Or so it seemed on the surface. Once you looked deeper though, you found much more. Which is why 45 years later, so many people still remember Star Trek and still watch it with an almost religious fervor. It’s become a part of our culture, and for all of us, a part of our daily lives.

Today, I wanted to specifically honor the original series. More specifically, the men and women who played their parts in making the show what it was. Most of them in front of the camera; a few behind it. Some of them as series regulars, others as one-off guest stars who made an impact. So I went about doing something a little unique for the September 2011 edition of ‘Ultimately Human’ and created our first and (to date) only themed edition. A 45th Anniversary Special Edition, presented in classic ‘black and white’ photographs for an extra touch of something… unique.

Enjoy!
