ps. super nerd trivia: "Devil in the Dark" was the Shat's favorite episode of Star Trek as his father died during filming and Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelley were very comforting to him for the duration of the production
In his book Shatner talked about filming that episode, he talked about how great the cast members were to him when he got back from the funeral, and how he pulled an epic prank on Nimoy in mid take.

I actually have thought about why Patick Stewart said the word "HERE!" with that affliction he added from First Contact.

You...you really like making conversations.
Having watched a lot of the behind the scenes footage included in the box set (yes, I bought the box set) I can see that them together would be worth seeing. They really do have great chemistry together.

Wasnt he though? That guy was a nutcase. I dont know what was up with him, but if he'd featured any more in that documentary and he'd be spending some time in a padded room.

I often wonder what happened to that kid with the mullet who was so excited to get his First Contact uniform from his seamstress and it was all wrong...

And the Star Trek lady who wore her uniform, phaser, tricorder, and communicator everyday to work and even to court.

Mullet kid became a Video Effects guy and worked on NuBSG and even did the ENT finale.

That guy has got to be on the autism spectrum somewhere.

What a great movie though. I love the part at the auction, where after the Klingon fellow wins he struts past the guy he outbid and stares him down.

Speaking of The Captain's documentry, this is something I stumbled upon a while ago during one late night insomnia session. The Captain's Summit hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.
Quote:
Join Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) as she hosts The Captain's Summit. Whoopi sits down with Trek stars William Shatner (Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Patrick Stewart (Picard) and Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and gets personal with them. From fan-etiquette to comparing series, this is a must see for all Trek fans. ENJOY!!
I don't know where it is originally from, but it's a neat watch.

^ I got bored last night and found the 30 yr anniversary of Star Trek celebration from back in '96 or '97. I think it has to be somewhere up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special with the rambling speech from Ben Stiller to the cast of Frasier pretending to be the crew of the Voyager.

Hmm. The man responsible for The Guardian Project? I'd like to thank him for making The Flame the least suckiest.

After coming home last night absolutely loaded I fell onto my couch and flipped on my T.V. to see that Star Trek Nemisis was on. My drunken brain said, watch it dude, it can't be as bad as you remembered, and you and I are drunk so that could make it hilarious.

Nope . . . still terrible.
