BOLDLY GOING...

Not from their first episode, but these are my favorite TNG-era Starfleet uniforms.

In news that makes me feel old...

27 years ago today on September 28, 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered! The series continues to live long and prosper on DVD and syndication. I have been fortunate enough to meet most of this cast over the years at conventions. There is a genuine affection you can feel between this group. They're always fun to watch on stage.

Happy Anniversary!

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

I am Bobby of Borg. You will be assimilated. Your life as it has been... is over. Resistance is futile.

Why, yes. I am excited to see Best of Both Worlds on the big screen. Why do you ask?

Star Trek: The Next Generation's season 3 cliffhanger and season 4 premiere is arguably one of the series best stories. In fact, the cliffhanger ending to Best of Both Worlds Part 1 still ranks as one of the greatest cliffhangers of all time. Back in the pre-internet days (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) it was a long wait until season 4 returned. We had no idea if Patrick Stewart's Captain Picard would return or how the Enterprise and her crew were going to stop the Borg.

It was a long, torturous wait.

On Thursday, April 25, 2013, for one night only, Fathom Events is showing The Best Of Both Worlds as a feature length film at select theaters across the country as part of the marketing for the new Blu-Ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3. Completely restored with cleaned up, and in some case brand new, special effects, this is a must see event.

If you've never seen Best of Both Worlds, I highly recommend this. For a nice double feature, follow up with a viewing of Star Trek: First Contact, which is pretty much a sequel to this two-part episode.

I've already got my ticket. See you there.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

I am geeking out over the upcoming Blu Ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation story, "Best of Both Worlds" as a standalone release. Part 1 ends with what is considered one of the best cliffhangers ever. This is an incredible 2 part episode and I'm looking forward to checking it out with the enhanced visuals.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, now I hear Best of Both Worlds will be getting a theatrical showing. I am so there.

Here's the trailer.

Enjoy.

NO TURKEY COMA FOR ME THIS YEAR.

I actually ate two sensible meals today, careful not to overdo it. I’ve worked hard to lose some weight and didn’t want to undo that work. It wasn’t easy though, let me tell you.

Anyway, since there wasn’t much on TV tonight (although I did get sucked into a couple episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation on BBC America, which reminded me of the image above) I did some writing and made a nice dent in the novel in progress.

Calling it a night now, but back at it tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
