Things We Saw Today: Five Star Trek Captains, One Stage

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:30 pm, October 21st, 2012

All five Star Trek captains took the stage at London’s Destination Star Trek convention this weekend, marking only the second time ever they’ve all appeared together. (The Beat)

The Frisky presents 18 Awesome Halloween Costumes for Couples, including a few nice geek-themed looks. I’d like to add: Genderswapped Han and Leia.
Summer Glau told IGN she has her fingers crossed for a role in Joss Whedon‘s S.H.I.E.L.D.. So do we, Summer. So do we. (Digital Spy)

For only $269.99, this Totoro bed can be yours! Worth it. (io9)

Remember that rumored Stephen Colbert The Hobbit cameo? The Hollywood Reporter just confirmed it. According to their source it’ll be in either the second or third movie. Oh, happy day! (The Hollywood Reporter)

Sources tell me Stephen will play an oracle Bilbo visits for guidance, and his opening line will be, “Welcome to The Hobbert Report!“

Oh man, that bed almost sounds really cheap for what it is. I want it…but I don’t have any room for it in my current bedroom. Drat.

Summer Glau I’m fine with, but please keep Eliza Dushku out of it. She’s borderline incompetent.

O.O That bed is hypnotizing me…It says buy the really cool looking bed before it triples in price…*has three of them delivered to her door* Every bedroom will have a Totoro.

All of the captains look so much older, except Patrick Stewart. He looks exactly the same, and is awesome.

Agree. Dushku is fine enough for an intermittently occuring guest role. She can’t hold a series together though.
Glau on the other hand is phenomenal!

How would you keep that Totoro bed clean?

Maybe the outside is a machine-washable shell?
