Star Trek: Online!


The whole comic.

The wonderfully verbose Eric Burns-White, he of Websnark, posted a review of Star Trek Online, including screen caps, while beta testing a few weeks ago. Today he wrote about how the game should run to continue to be as great as it, apparently, is.

Boomdeyada!

OK, for geek points, and without looking stuff up, who do you recognize from this video?

Looks really cool, doesn't it.

The hard part with this will be condensing the 20 half-hour episodes of Book One: Water into two hours worth of movies. How many of you think we'll be getting at least one training montage?

The short article.

Why couldn't it have been an eight to twelve hour miniseries on HBO covering all the books?
