Glad that he's still up & about. When I saw him on Fringe last season, I thought he was starting to look--and sound--pretty frail.

Yar was just too ballsy a character for TNG, and the writers--maybe even Roddenberry himself--didn't know what to do with her. She was a tough chick from the streets, and didn't fit in with the efette Frenchman, the prettyboy exec, or that whiney li…

If anyone here enjoys '80s cyberpunk as much as I do, you should know that the complete series of M-m-m-max Headroom is FINALLY out on DVD! Some of the tech will probably seem pretty dated (VHS tapes, floppy disks, etc.), but if memory serves, the w…

Wow - it's taking me a long time to read through the forums, but I wanted to stop off here and maybe revive some of these fascinating threads! Mike, I think the posters below have made a pretty good argument for why agnosticism and atheism are two…

About Me:
Greetings, Gentlebeings,
What can I say? I was born in 1966--the same year that TOS premiered--so it was innevitable that I'd be a trekkie! TOS will always be a classic, but I'm especially drawn to DS9 because it, like me, is considered the weird kid of the family! I'm here because I'm desperate for any contact with other Trek fans, or fans of SF in general. I also hope to maybe meet a nice Orion Slave Girl or Borg Babe. BTW: I'm a vent-dependent quadraplegic with SMA. No big deal.

I've added the cover to my latest book, Suka: A Paul Murdock Novel. All are available at authorhouse.com

I know this isn't Trek, but what the hell. I miss it already.

Terminator...Salvation?

Supposedly, Christian Bale initially turned down the role of John Connor in Terminator: Salvation, then said, "Write a story that could be performed on stage with no special effects, and I'll do it."

It must've been the money.

Talk about a disappointment! I've wanted to see that post-nuke future since T1 came out in '84, but instead of guerilla warfare in the bombed-out ruins of nighttime LA, we get car chases in the desert that were done--and done better--30 years ago in Mad Max. Here's the s… Continue

Lucky Hat Story

Interesting story behind the hat I'm wearing in my new avatar.

Back in '97, I was at a con where the GoH was Jeremy Bulloch, the British actor best known for playing Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. He and I were talking in the lobby one day when Mom asked if she could take a pic. "Sure!" Jeremy said, then gave me a dirty look and added, "Even if you are wearing that damn Babylon 5 hat." Just as Mom snaps the Polaroid, Jeremy flips up the bill of my cap so that I loo… Continue

TREK XI: THE VERDICT

Most of the TOS cast are either elderly or dead, and the folks from TNG are getting pretty long in the tooth, as well. Neither VOY or ENT generated the ratings to warrant a big budget movie, and although DS9 had--IMHO--some of the best writing in the franchise, Paramount seems to treat it like the bastard child that nobody talks about.

So what's left to do? You rewrite history!

The idea of one event having the power to change history has been a troupe of science fiction, including Trek, for de… Continue

Hi, Mike! Yes-we've gotten a little break from the stinkin' heat here too. It felt so good to get caught in a thunderstorm today! Looks like we're going to knuckle and get AC in here...not a bad plan since my IQ drops as the temperature rises. It was nice to feel like sitting at the computer and enjoying the pictures folks have been putting up here--and to see a note from you appear!

Hi Mike,
Just got back from my Caribbean vacation and had an incredible time visiting 7 different islands. Here I am in Barbados with the Atlantic Ocean swirling around in the background.


How's your summer going?

Mike, it's so cool to hear from you! (I've been much away from this place which I value highly. Sweet indeed to return and find a note from you.) I've been reading Bernd Heinrich's books about living in a cabin in Maine and closely observing the seasons, critters and plants. And now a book about five different immigrant families who lived in the tenement at 97 Orchard Street in NYC in the nineteenth century which has a nifty focus on the food of the different ethnicities they represent. All well and good, but I think I need a dose of Murdock:-)
