Well, I accidentally tuned in to the new Star Trek series last night. There was some redneck farmer and a klingon on the screen. The farmer nailed the klingon in the chest with a shotgun. Then I switched the tv back over to component video. I'd seen more than I wanted to.

Star Trek has pretty much been crap since Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan. Actually it was crap then but it was good crap. There was something to be said about Captain James T. Kirk wenching, drinking, and fighting his way across the galaxy. Back in the old days you only worried about the prime directive when it didn't get in the way of the three aforementioned activities. All of the later Star Treks are more realistic which means they are boring. Who wants to see a peace treaty negotiation or the captain only sending expendable personnel on away missions? Star Trek turned into a pile of touchie feelie socio-political crap rather than good old-fashioned swashbuckling crap. For added fun kids count the number of times I said crap in this paragraph.

One thing that struck me as interesting was that the klingon in the new series looked like an 80s or 90s klingon rather than a 60s one. Since this show is supposed to predate the 60s show I figure that nowadays they have decided that klingons always looked like they had a giant growth on their foreheads.

Anyway, there wasn't much point to this article I guess. That's the great thing about the web. I can write a bunch of random gibberish, and whoever is bored enough to read it is free to.
