Gotta do it: The New - Old? - Enterprise

I would be robbing my childhood by not posting this:

I'll get back to those who care with my - abridged - thoughts. Anyway, you all know of my affinity for everything Classic Trek. Hockey first, Trek second. Since I'm not hosting a movie site per se, must I warn of spoilers? Ooops. Well, what you see above is the USS Enterprise, soon to be starring in JJ Abrams' Classic Trek Babies reboot. And I'm cool with it.

Only a couple more details, nothing concrete, but a great site for info can be found here.

Thanks for your patience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Bouwmeester-Watch.

Only in the NHL: The Shat to "Sing" Anthems in Montreal? Make it So...

Didn't have this one on the brain when I awoke today: The Montreal Canadiens are being petitioned to allow Kirk himself to pull anthem duty at a game to be determined later this season in "honor" of the Habs' 100th year. To give you an idea of the scope of what is being proposed, the picture above details The Shat's efforts to protect himself from music critics - and the general populace - hurling eggs, tomatoes, and onions his way following his previous album. The sordid "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" affair is well chronicled around the web. Google it...you won't be sorry. Actually, you will. Much like the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Exercise your rights. If you sign only a single petition this decade, MAKE THIS THE ONE.

Greg at Puck Daddy and the bunch at Four Habs Fans sum it all up admirably.

For the record, I'm counting the hours until the new film opens. Once a Trekkie, always a Trekkie.

Yeah, Cats Lose...So What

To warm my heart after an especially painful loss, I present this photo, displaying Spock in front of the main viewscreen of the Enterprise. So kewl. Look close enough and you can smell the "1701" on the plating.

Then again, given the Great Shatner/Takei feud, there's got to be room for a quickie picture of the new-fangled Kirk/Sulu.

Of course, it would make little sense if I didn't give up a special effects clip. And no, it ain't Big E.

Yeah, the Cats lost tonight. In tragic fashion. The Senators will sleep like babies knowing they only had to show up for 20 minutes. But I digress. The weekend approaches.

Leaf Fans: Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid

Cliff Fletcher's television career never got past the early years of Star Trek.
