Spocks Emotional Outburst

 Image Owner/Creator:  Paramount Pictures and or CBS 
Here's some Star Trek (TOS) humour from the "Galileo Seven" episode thats funny. "Now Mr. Spock, there's really something about all this that I don't understand, so maybe you could explain it to me, logically of course... 

 Now, when you jettisoned the fuel, and ignited it, you knew that there was virtually no chance of it being seen and yet you did it anyway. Now that seems to me like an act of desperation." -- Kirk

 . "Quite correct, Captain." -- Spock "Now we all know, and I'm sure the doctor would agree with me, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. So how does your well known logic explain that?" -- Kirk 

 "Quite simply captain, I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only logical action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at." -- Spock 

 "Ah-huh, I see... So you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst." -- Kirk 

 "Well I... Wouldn't exactly put it in those terms captain, but those are essentially the facts." -- Spock

 "You aren't going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human, emotional act?" -- Kirk [crosses arms and slowly shakes head] 

 "No, sir." -- Spock [laughing] 

"Mr. Spock, you are a stubborn man." -- Kirk [raises eyebrows] 

"Yes, sir." -- Spock. 

 Of course we believe you, Mr Spock.

Star Trek XI Movie Logic

Captain Kirk doesn't believe in the no win scenario, so he rigged the Kobayashi Maru Test and beat the Klingons!! Woo Hoo. Go Kirk, Go Kirk!! You're the Best. Now trekker hopes depend on a Star Wars fan making Star Trek history!!! and without our superhero William Shatner. Geeze.... Hmmmm. I wonder, will J.J. Abrams pass his Kobayashi Maru test? Only Trekkie's can decide. Take my sidebar Kirk Test now! Sci fi viewers know only too well that Spock, McCoy and Kirk were special.

Bill Shatner told Trek fans at Comic Con and Shatnervision that he's not in the latest Star Trek movie. Sob, sniff. The Sci Fi universe is awash with traumatized Trekkies everywhere, even I'm all watery eyed too. At least Bill put us out of our misery.

Spocks warmblooded, illogical and emotional old friend Jim Kirk, has been snuffed out of Star Trek XI! (MORE LIKE NEVER WRITTEN IN) It gets better. J.J. Abrams explains his reasons in a vulchy statement at trekmovie on William Shatner and the new Kirk casting. J.J. actually confesses his dark side sins in his statement so I'm thinking - hey heres a dude that worshipped Darth Vader. - O.K. but what about Kirk 's U.S.S. Enterprise and its captain?



Shatner fans across the globe know Bill is a funny guy who has delighted Star Trek millions with his wit, charm and intelligence, all things that make great science fiction. You'll be glad to know Bill may be doing a series of "Negotiator" commercials which are entertaining.

Here is Bill's comic role in his Priceline "The Negotiator" commercial. Its bound to cheer up Star Trek fans still reeling from Mr J.J. Abrams Vulchy logic and it proves the old maestro still has the movie magic provided he doesn't get too bogged down with the Vulcan shockwaves rattling Trekkies across the globe right now. I think J.J. Abrams has been hanging out with those green blooded, inhuman, pointy eared Vulchies too much!!

Live long and Prosper Trekkers!

Star Trek fans will also have access to Starfleet's Data Files! which provides intelligence about the world of Star Trek! I wonder do we get to see any "Top Secret Stuff" Nevertheless, The Original Series Boxset is loaded with new features so keep a lookout for the Gorn blinking in "Arena" and other cool enhancements.

Star Trek director, producer and production manager Robert Justman was overjoyed with Star Trek's Season One remastered HD DVDs originally packaged and released as "The Final Frontier." Robert Justman and John D.F. Black helped Gene Roddenberry thrash out the teaser with ideas for Space the final frontier. Written by Gene on August 10, 1966 and spoken by the Captain James T. Kirk commanding the best Federation starship in the galaxy.

"When I saw the dvds with the original film Mal converted to the way it should have been, I can't find words to voice my joy at what I see. Its just wonderful. Its the way the show should have looked when it first went out" Robert H. Justman, Associate Producer of Star Trek.

Live Long and Prosper, Trekkies!
