[OT] Optimus Prime joins the National Guard

[Angcuru]

I think we should start bombing people like the Trekkie on the Whitewater Jury and this Optimus Prime guy. They give a bad name to us non-jocks.

And when you think about it...isn't everything...in it's own little way......political?

Sheesh... Just when you thought you heard the geekiest thing, something else pops up.

Is that a true story?

It made one of those news program (Inside Edition), complete with video back in the 90's. The judge dismissed the jury member for wearing her starfleet uniform (based on Star Trek II-VI films), which is distracting to the courtroom.

I'm proud to say that I've never seen a star trek movie with a number in the title. Go me!

Then you've missed the only one worth watching: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It ruled.

 

[Angcuru]

then perhaps I shall watch it some time. Would I need to watch the first to understand it, or is it somewhat self-explanatory?

I wouldn't be that proud since I've seen the most recent Trek films WITHOUT a number. Of the four, only First Contact is good enough (albeit not better).

As Tarrasque Wrangler, watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and as an added bonus, I recommend Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. These are two of my favorite. Even then, all of the numbered Trek film surpasses the other three TNG films in terms of story quality.

[hoo-boy, are we OT]

I haven't seen it in a while, but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Khan did originate in the original series, but I think they explain the whole deal with him in the movie, so don't kill yourself trying to find the Khan episode on DVD. Although the fight scene between Khan and Kirk in that episode is hilarious. Exactly how far away was the camera, like a mile or two? Couldn't they have gotten some fight doubles that looked like Shatner and Montalban?

 

[Ranger REG]

Oh, we so totally OT!!!

Because it was expensive to hire fight doubles back in the 1960's on a fledgling production studio (Desilu, started up by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball).

 

[Angcuru]

ANYway, back to the topic.

I pity this man more than I pity Al Sharpton. And that's saying a lot.

 

[blackshirt5]

Has anybody else noticed that Al Sharpton looks like the old Burger King "Gengar" Pokemon toy, with the lightup eyes? Just imagine that it's Al Sharpton watching TV and he sees either A) O.J. getting arrested for killing his daughter; or B) a KFC commercial.
