I have to go out of town this weekend, so I’m going to miss the awesomeness that is the Star Trek vs. Star Wars convention.  Dangit.  I was really looking forward to taking pictures of people dresses up as Klingons and Wookies.

I guess I can just watch this documentary instead about the Star Wars/Star Trek rivalry. 

From the cover, it looks freaking horrible. But, it has interviews with the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Carrie Fischer, Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, and the one and only, William Shatner.

Or maybe I could watch the Star Trek animated series from 1973. Did you know there even was an animated series? I sure as hell didn’t.

Or the ever popular Star Wars Holiday Special. I think I’d like it a lot more if I was on the same drugs as the creators were when they made this this.


 But wait! I just noticed that this weekend’s Star Trek vs. Star Wars convention is the first of two conventions. Yes, I may get to go see aliens and fanboys after all : )

Remind me to show you my phaser the next time we get together…

Not that either are my world, but speaking of things Trek and animated, have you ever seen “Stone Trek” - a web cartoon that’s a cross between Star Trek and the Flintstones?

9 episodes were made of Stone Trek

Yeaaaah, uhm, I DO remember the animated series. I think I saw one episode, twice. I guess, like Nightmare I am old.

As for the convention, it looks like a friend may be moving, and that will trump nerdvana.

Oh, and nice catch Doc. I love that site.

Something to say?
