happy bday to koikana

Public Service Announcement: In Star Trek, every alternate reality exists. The Classics "Mirror, Mirror" episode, the 'Next Gen' episode where an infinite number of Enterprise-D's all start sharing the same space. In later seasons of Deep Space 9 Chief O'Brien isnt the O'Brien we started with, Ensign Kim is from an alternate dimension... etc, etc. An infinite number of possible realities depending on the events that happen and the choices you make and everyone else makes. So they all exist. But...

As the end of first decade of the 21st Century draws to a close. This is the "Reality" that we will be familiar with for future movies. This movie is technically number 11, so I call this "The 1. Reality" So the next one will be 1.2, 1.3 and so on, depends on how far Paramount wants to continue this "Reality".

I went with Captain Kirk, I went as Lieutenant Jadzia "Old Man" Dax. Only one dressed up from the 7-ish premire and at our 10-ish premire less than a handful dressed up. The movie was awesome!! All the current actors/actresses fit the characters perfectly. Awesome ship the Enterprise, so was Scotti in the clean water? Nailed Bones for sure! (Never thought I would say those words in my life). "Bones, I need you, badly". Lots and lots of easter eggs who have seen the movies and shows and read the books. [Flashback scene:] Botcon 07 We were at a parts party (its a get together at a hotel room that you try to find the wing, gun, shield, head, hand missing off of your transformer that you trade or buy or sell and talk about random stuff). About 10pm, Roberto Orci (screenwriter for Star Trek and both Transformers movies) knocked on the door invited us over to drink Hasbros alcohol with him. We talked about Transformers, we had just seen the movie, then we talked about Rescue Me and then since we had a mixed group of treks and non treks, girls and guys in the group the conversation turned into a Focus group for Star Trek 11. They were trying to re-invent the franchise like Bond so Paramount can make more money from the non-traditional geeks, but yet not alienate the fans of 40+ years. [present day:] They did their job.

So what I want to know, Since we have new classic. Can people who have the special effects goggles, not complain anymore about how the NX-Enterprise series looked newer than classic 1701 series? Special effects technology changes, so even tho it looks newer and awesome, Enterprise with Archer is there to tell a story. The origins of exploration of Star Fleet. The origins of the Federation, Phase Pistols instead of Phasers, transporters that didnt transport humans, Decon rooms to get rid of pathogens instead of transporters, Hull Plating instead of shields, Magnetic Grappeler cannons instead of tractor beams, The origin of the Mirror universe, Finding out the supermen of Khan wasnt in 1996, The Borg, And the British Tactical Officer joking about not seeing any flags (No flag, no country-Eddie Izzard). And remember the whole Temporal Cold War, So technically its in a different time-line than Classic anyway. So enjoy the story of the NX Class Enterprise. Star Trek is a storyline that has evolved and especially with this movie has made it enjoyable.

Even before the movie they had awesome trailers:
- Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
- 9021-JOE (sorry Im from the 80's, GI Joe's weren't twenty year olds models, Alot of the joe's back then were Vietnam vets) Wild Bill, Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, etc
- and the next Harry Potter movie.

Dom DeLuise passed away monday night in his sleep. A fine slapstick comedian and actor fades away at age 75.

I remember him from...
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,
Cannonball Run franchise
Smokey & the Bandit franchise

I know not too many people are keen on the Knight Rider reformat. The main reason I watch it, is for the homages and for one other idea that might come true within the next few weeks. Ever since the refomatted TV series started, KITT was programmed to "Transform" himself into any Ford Vehicle. So the next logical step is for KITT to become a Robot.

Well the next step just got alil bit closer January 21st. KARR is returning with an Exo-skeleton look. The original voice of KARR in 1982 was Peter Cullen and he's back in 2009 reprising the role. He also just happens to be the voice of Optimus Prime from the Transformers cartoon (84-87) and the Transformers movies (2007 & Jun 26th, 2009).

Kinda ironic.

Yet, looking at the preview I would say KARR even tho it may have elements to it, but he is NOT a knockoff to the Transformers Movie (tho most might argue). We had a glance of him during the Halloween episode. He looks more like Cylon (another of Glen Larson's ideas). KITT, an intelligent machine and his red bar of sliding light and humm sound was all inspired by Cylon's in his prior series BattleStar Galactica. Also, because KARR was 2 years before Prime. Its just a homage to another homage.

The show is just as bad as the original and the next generation of "Team Knight Rider". Probably, why the Series Finale will be Feb 25th after one season just like "Bionic Woman". But its interesting to watch where they go with what they have. I think the Battlestar Galactica Reformat just got my hopes up for all of Glen Larson's reformatted creations. Let's see "The Fall Guy" next. Just joking.

So will KITT absorb his older brother's robot form?

Remember, Remember the forth of November. Because if you dont we might not make it to the fifth.

Vote, Unless you want our freedoms, like in the movie, to become a distant memory. The hockey mom just gives off that vibe.

So why do the people who think they know it all, know nothing.
And the ones who feel like they know nothing, cant get the words out to share what they know.
