Resistance to this video is futile..



Love the double face palm....when one face palm is not enough

number 15. should be: "My other car is a STARSHIP"

I can't wait for 2013. Looking forward to what JJ abrams has planned. I was just blown away by the latest movie. I really enjoy all of the series.

Do you think "Enterprise" would have been a hit were it not for the lamest theme song in history? Most couldn't make it past that to see what the series had to offer..

Just my personal opinion, but the Star Trek universe was far more captivating than Star Wars.

S+F just for changing the subject....

Fascinating! I find your posting to be quite logical.
;-) Sorry, couldn't help myself.

"Stardate, two, oh, one two, this is captain cosma speaking to all the crew"

Spok even dances flamenco in this clip....
Legend thread



ETA: min 3:07.....I spat out my drink and my cheek bones hurt from laughing. I have a stitch an all.

Although J.J broke my heart when he destroyed Vulcan,i loved the movie and i know that the next one is going to be awesome as well.

I liked Enterprise very much and i hated the song.Dominic Keating sings a much improved version


The made an amazingly funny commercial for Enterprise.


I agree Star Trek is way better than Star Wars.

Captain Cosma nice to see you around

I remember this episode.
3:07 beer came out of my nose.

For you a metal star trek song

In all reality though, if all nations put forth their resourses, and made ourselfs into a resource economy, imagine what we would accomplish.

reply to post by alienones


That is actually the message of Star Trek.If we unite we can achieve a lot.But instead of using the resources to go to the stars we use them to create weapons and kill our neighbours.
We let things like color,religion,politics and money to seperate us and we can't see that only if we stop all that we will achieve much greater things.

It's a shame.I hope one day humans will grow up.

Tribble tribble tribble tribble, tribble tribble tribble.
tribble tribble tribble but i think tribble tribble tribble tribble tribble also.

The trouble with tribbles is they tripple rather fast.

And seeing as this is a Star Trek themed thread and it's related "Earthly" connections.. anyone want to fly their own starship?

Happy trekking everyone..

I love tribbles.I want one too,they are sooooooooooo cute.

Captain i will join you on the online game as soon as i go home.

reply to post by reficul

Dress up is fun.Sometimes i go to work wearing the t-shirt of the uniform or the badge.My customers love it.

Ahh my weakness is Star Trek

I have a TON of ST collectables, cards, etc, and it seems no matter how poor I have gotten, I just cannot part with them rofl

My favorite piece is a picture of the original crew, signed by all of them, including Gene Roddenberry. I adore that thing lol

ST, to me, represents a possible goal that humanity COULD strive for, if we only were to give ourselves a chance to DO so. But, when I see what's happening in the world, I remind myself that, even in the ST universe, it took humanity quite some time to get there, an there was a lot of strife between.

So, could still happen


Anyhow, celebrate te possibilities, and enjoy the journey!
