Well this is a surprise. We all know about the interracial kiss that rocked the world on Star Trek on November 22, 1968 but did you know that kiss was originally supposed to be between Uhura and Spock, not Uhura and Kirk?

It appears there’s no sign of intelligent life at the Internal Revenue Service. They created Star Trek and Gilligan’s Island spoofs that cost tax payers $60,000.

Thank you, YouTuber IITREKKIEII. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to sit and watch an episodes worth of Star Trek bloopers Friday afternoon. Nothing could be better. The compilation features bloopers spanning just about every incarnation of the sci-fi series.

Many of you know Ron Moore thanks to him bringing Battlestar Galactica back to television but less of you may be aware that he worked on several of the Star Trek series. He’s got a few projects in the pipeline at the moment, one of them being A Knight’s Tale drama series for ABC, but he recently weighed in on how to bring the sci-fi giant back to the small screen.

Last week, I was delighted to find out Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Sir Patrick Stewart was not only on Twitter, but his username was @SirPatStew. I marveled at him having the same problem many Brooklyn, New York residents have (he recently moved there) – horrible service from cable companies. In this particular instance, Stewart was complaining about Time Warner Cable and it just so happens William Shatner has been shaking his fist at the same company from the West Coast.

Flavorwire’s been on a kick lately of rounding up funny, weird, or just fourth wall breaking pictures from movies, and now, television. In most of the less effects heavy shows, this just means getting to see the cameras. But on the genre shows… man. It’s a whole ‘nother level. Any Muppets out there wishing to maintain belief in their autonomy may want to skip this post. And when you’re done, hit up Flavorwire for lots more pictures from Lost, Dexter, Game of Thrones and more.

Star Trek Alternate Title Intro from The Quintek Group on Vimeo.
You probably know about Star Trek: The Animated Series but this is something quite different. “This animation is an homage to one of the most groundbreaking sci-fi television shows ever to beam down to Earth,” writes The Quintek Group, “Our goal was to try and capture the essence of what we found most enjoyable from the series for building this faux opening to this classic show.” It’s short of course because the original opening was short but the team did a great job producing really cool images.

Besides the fact alone that it was a great movie with a great cast and a great story, one of the things that gave J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek that extra dose of credibility was the appearance of the original Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy, reprising his role from the original series. Now that Abrams is working on its sequel, fans have been wondering if a similar storyline will be involved and we’ll see another cameo from another cast member from the original series. But the original Sulu, George Takei, doesn’t seem to think this is the case, saying that there has been a “policy decision” not to do that anymore.
But what about from the another Star Trek series?

Well, it’s a great day to be the author of a lost Star Trek episode. Not long ago, we told you about Norman Spinrad, a writer on Star Trek: The Original Series who was commissioned by Gene Roddenberry to write a script that would provide a comeback opportunity for Milton Berle. It was never made, and Spinrad thought it was lost forever until a fan approached him with a copy of it. Now, 45 years later, the fan-produced web series, Star Trek: Phase II, has announced that they’ll be shooting Spinrad’s script, and the writer has a new actor in mind to play the role meant for Berle — William Shatner.

Back before he became RuPaul‘s nemesis as as well as one of Saturday Night Live‘s worst hosts in the history of the show, Milton Berle spent several years trying to stage a career comeback after losing his luster in the late 1950s. His show was canceled, he was hosting bowling games, and he was desperate to regain the fame he’d enjoyed for decades. In 1967, along came a chance. Star Trek! Gene Roddenberry wanted him on Star Trek! But sadly (for Berle, shown above being upstaged by Statler and Waldorf on The Muppet Show), things did not go as planned. The writer of that lost episode, Norman Spinrad, has revealed the details of how Milton Berle was almost chewing scenery alongside William Shatner and how he found his lost script.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.
