Dr Phlox on real reasons behind the fall of Star Trek Enterprise


There’s something new, we recently got to know regarding the reasons that led to the cancellation of the last Star Trek TV series, Star Trek: Enterprise.

As far as we knew, by the time, Star Trek: Enterprise was launched in September, 2011 the world had already experienced an overdose of Star Trek episodes.

I mean what else could you expect from an audience that had been constantly bombarded with Star Trek shows, since The Original Series was launched in 1966?

The Animated Series came up in 1973, and was followed by The Next Generation in 1987, Deep Space Nine in 1993, the Voyager in 1995, and Enterprise in 2001.

Apart from these serial bombs, the world was also hit by 9 Star Trek feature films, starting with The Motion Picture in 1979, and ending with Insurrection in 1998.

To be honest, we thought this was the reason for the audience to have lost interest in the series till John Billingsley allowed us a deeper insight into the matter.

According to Dr. Phlox (John’s character for all the four seasons of the Enterprise), it was not the saturation in audience, but it was the degrading quality of the script that failed to interest the audience, anymore.

As John, fearlessly reveals it was greed of the production house that led to the downfall of the last version of the series.

They started interfering in the script to unimaginable levels, as they wanted to serve the audience simply what they had appreciated in all the last productions from the same house. This simply distorted the script, and prevented the writers from doling out something new to the audience.

John, while narrating the reasons behind the show’s pull-out seemed angry deep within with the production house, affairs of which are mainly handled by bean-counters.

Its Time To Follow The Golden Rules Of William Shatner


…And for fans, the iconic actor has actually penned down all of them in a book.

That’s right folks! The lord of small screen has once again proved his versatility by writing down a book titled ‘Shatner Rules’.

It’s not the first time that the actor has given a vent to the author in him, but it certainly is a big deal when we talk of 80-year-old still delivering all the good.

The book that has already hit the stands isn’t a sole work of the versatile genius, as Chris Regan, the funnyman, is a co-writer.

Undoubtedly, a lot of research and brainstorming have gone into, for tracing down all the rules. And I must inform you that the book is actually a readily available take on how the actor became the lord of small screen.

It encapsulates Shatner’s journey from Bill to Star Trek’s captain Kirk. And I think no one else could have immortalized the sci-fi character in a more befitting manner other than William, that’s the reason why fans still watch Star Trek online, with all enthusiasm.

Some might even opted to download the incidents of the sci-fi. And why shouldn’t they? After all William’s act in the shoes of spaceship captain has actually made a role model for all those who dreamt or are still dreaming to create a phenomenal space hero like Kirk.

‘Shatner Rules’ also throws some light on career trajectory of the icon after the all-pervasive fame of Star Trek.

His performance as an attorney in legal series Boston Legal has also earned him equivalent fame, and the accounts of those have embraced the new released book, as well.

Talking of the energy and enthusiasm, the actor inculcates in him at twilight of his life, I just wonder who else in this industry has the attitude in him or her, to put up a challenge for William.

Take a bow, Mr. Shatner! You are the one, and perhaps the only one to defy the ticking biological clock with your workaholic attitude.

William Shatner Seeks Everyones Attention!


And even though the Thanksgiving party has already marked its end, the advice from the veteran actor would help some of us, during next year’s fest.

The star, whom many of us saw as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek episodes made himself available for some public safety ads before Thanksgiving.

The ads were created to cut down the cases of accidents caused by fire, on or before the exciting holidays.

More interesting than anything else is that, hiring of the icon for the ads does make sense, because he had once encountered a disaster during a Thanksgiving celebration himself.

Anyway, let’s find out what kind of precautions need to be taken to avoid a destructive inferno and save our kitchen from falling flat onto the ground.

First rule to prepare a scrumptious (and safe) dish of turkey on Thanksgiving is to give adequate time to the frozen meat to thaw.

This is because, many a time, frozen meat could give rise to hot bubbles, spouting over the cooking vessel and causing a fire.

The second thing to keep in mind is to avoid over-filling of the cooking vessel with oil, before releasing the turkey in it.

Apart from these, remember to turn the burner off, before releasing the massive piece of meat into the hot oil.

One can also arrange for a fryer outside the kitchen, in a lawn or the backyard and this would also give you the feel of a bonfire!

Last, but of course not the least, is to keep a good fire extinguisher nearby, while preparing the Thanksgiving dinner.

William Shatner might have committed the mistake of skipping on one of these safety rules, years ago, but he doesn’t want us to follow in his footsteps and burn our kitchens too.

He loves the great taste of turkey, but at the same time, urges us to be a little bit precautious.

And I would say, there isn’t an iota of pun intended, as he seeks everyone attention!

Undoubtedly, a safe and secure Thanksgiving party is a better celebration, and no mortals on this Earth would want any disaster to mar the excitement of the holidays, would they?

William Shatner Feels Obama And Star Trek Character Cant Be On The Same Boat!


William Shatner, the actor famous for his role as Captain T. Kirk, feels that Obama’s comparison to his character of Captain Kirk from Star Trek is vague and absurd.

This is not the first time that the President has been compared to a character from the epic science fiction series.

In 2009, Obama had been compared to Mr. Spock, the chief science officer of the ship. President’s deliberative decision-making abilities, his fascination for science, his emotionless logic behind his moves, and his technocratic nature had won him comparison to the nerdy character.

And now the new belief is that the President resembles Captain Kirk! William Shatner expressed his disagreement on the idea during an interview, and said that Obama is far too tied up by the Parliament and its regulations to resemble Captain Kirk.

When we watch Star Trek online, we find the Captain as someone, who is more like a dictator, setting down rules and not following them himself.

But Obama can never turn blind to the norms that regulate his actions for the country, and hence, the comparison is vague indeed.

We shouldn’t forget that things are not the same as they were in 2009. Today, the world is aware of Obama’s success in hunting down world’s most dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden, and hence, his comparison to characters like Mr. Spock seems to have faded away.

The qualities of Mr. Spock, which can be experienced with a simple download, are the ones that enabled the President to get on with a mission that was so technologically advanced and sound that not only Osama and his men, the entire country of Pakistan and the world was taken by surprise.

Scott Bakula Turns Dark, Dirty and Dangerous on Stage for Saul Rubinek!


Did you know Scott Bakula, more popular as Star Trek’s Jonathan Archer, is equally confident of performing live on stage?

Well, what do you expect? An actor as skilled and competent as Scott Bakula will not be able to manage a stage play? Well, I am sure he would leave the audience awestruck and pleading for more.

As a Star Trek download would reveal, the latest season of Star Trek: Enterprise has Scott cast as the captain of the starship Enterprise, who is later promoted to the position of the President of United Federation of Planets.

Saul Rubinek, the Canadian playwright, always had Scott in mind while scripting his latest play Terrible Advice.

The actor has been offered with the lead role in the play that, with the legendary Frank Oz as its director, promises to be dark, dirty and dangerous when it comes to the plot.

The play will be performed from September 22 to November 12 at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory, and is said to be dealing with the intricate and difficult relationships that crop up between two pairs of close friends.

We are already aware that Saul Rubinek is a master at reflecting difficult emotions in the easiest of ways; bring Frank Oz as the director in the scene and you just add an enormous amount of expectations.

Apart from that, the most striking element to watch out for is the contribution of the Star Trek cast to the play.

The producer and the lead actor are both part of the Star Trek alumnus who have somehow gotten used to excellence, both on and off the screen.

Star Trek Turns 45, Celebrations at the Las Vegas Convention!


Star Trek is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year!

This big occasion surely calls for a grand celebration and it seems like the team of Star Trek is in the mood for just that!

Star Trek has been a huge success in the history of American television and has entertained the audiences, season after season.

The Las Vegas Convention is summarily an event, where the ardent fans of the show get to meet and interact with their favorite ‘aliens’ and alien hunters!

The Star Trek Convention was held from August 11th to 14th 2011. One of the most important aspects of the event was the face-off between various Star Trek captains, old and new. This was called ‘The Captains on Stage’ and it was great fun to see these alien heroes, pull each other’s legs about the characters they portray on the show!

Another must-watch event at the convention was the photography workshop by Leonard Nimoy. The 80-year old actor is as active and agile as he was, when we saw him for the first time on Star Trek as Mr. Spock!

Along with photography know-how, Nimoy also shared his life experiences with his fans and humorously stated that even though he was born as a human in Boston, he went to Hollywood and became an alien!

There was also a fun-filled costume contest, where the best dressed person got a cash prize worth $1000, plus free Star Trek memorabilia.

The Las Vegas Convention broke the world record, by witnessing a turn-out of around 1040 people, dressed as their favorite Star Trek characters. Las Vegas must have seemed like a different planet altogether, with all those alien look-alikes for sure!

Star Trek, with its extensive family of fans from all over the world, had the time of their lives at the 45th anniversary celebrations of the show.

But in case, you couldn’t be there at the event, you can still enjoy watching the show by catching a Star Trek download.

Any better ideas, guys?

Canada Remains Star Trek Captain William Shatner’s First Love!


The cultural icon and cult figure of the entertainment industry, Captain James T. Kirk still remains deeply etched in public memory.

One of the biggest hits in the television history, Star Trek episodes reveal this actor’s spine-tingling performances that render the actor amongst all the Holly gossip, even after 40 years of this series’ premiere on television.

Today, William Shatner finds himself among the most celebrated actors of the yesteryears, and has recently attained the well-deserved title of the ‘King of Canada’ in an online survey!

The actor, in an interview, turns nostalgic about the days of British rule in Canada, when he remembers himself running from one point to another, only to catch a glimpse of the Royal Couple.

The actor feels that the misconception that Canada is the best country in the world has turned Canada the favorite destination for foreign immigrants. And this is exactly what may cause the downfall of this beautiful country.

The actor probably feels that Canada does not need people, who are actually harming the country. And perhaps that is why, when asked about his plan of action if he was turned into the Canadian King, William replies that first of all he would like to behead a lot of his subjects!

Looking back in his life’s journey, William shares that he has spent his childhood playing football for his high school team in Montreal, and that remained a golden period with the team winning one city championship after the other.

On being questioned about the new Royal Couple, the actor jokes away, saying that he did see the wedding, with a desire to date Kate’s sister!

Well, I am sure his fans out there in Canada must be immensely proud after hearing all this!

George Takei Finds it Hard To Get Out of the Star-Trek Skin!


Remember Hikaru Sulu? The Lieutenant with the extraordinary IQ in Star Trek, who now plays Grandpa “Hologramps” Fukunaga, the sensei of the Supah Ninjas, and Mike’s (the main protagonist) deceased grandfather.

He is the sole flag bearer of the ancient ninja legacy in the family; he makes it his prerogative to guide and train the Supah Ninjas and in an underground high-tech dojo under Mike and Martin’s home. In fact, he uses a robot to guide them to fight.

Wondering what the news is? Well, in a recent interview, George Takei who portrays Hikaru Sulu in the show, waxed eloquent about Star Trek’s incredible legacy!

He is quite proud of the legacy. He said the show has become a landmark in television history, and to be associated with something like that is an enormous asset to an actor. He said he has done many roles in many a series after Star Trek, but most people still recognize him for his role in Star Trek.

Well, we all know how big the show was back then! In fact, it forever became the benchmark for every series that has, or will foray into the future.

If you are yet to watch Star Trek online, do get a glimpse at the intergalactic journeys of the Enterprise, and see for yourself what an epic journey its undertakes!

Well, for those, who want to see more of Takei, just download every installment of Star Trek, and set sail on a voyage beyond your wildest imaginations.

Patrick Stewart Speaks About the ‘Right to Die’


The ‘Right to Die’, more commonly referred to by terms like ‘mercy killing’ and ‘euthanasia’ would not be something that you would associate to people who watch Star Trek online.

Right?

Maybe.

Maybe not!

This has always been a contentious topic, which many would prefer to remain mum about.

But there’s one man who’s decided to speak about the need to allow people to exercise their right to die peacefully, and that’s the Star Trek star, Patrick Stewart.

Now, this is something you don’t get to see often on the download circuits!

Patrick was prompted to use his voice as a famous actor to speak for the cause, after one of his contemporary actresses, the former Bond girl Angela Scoular, was forced to take an extreme step, after she was denied her wish of being killed in peace.

The 65-year old actress, who suffered from bowel cancer, ended her life in a horrible manner, by consuming acid, which killed her immediately.

Expressing his shock on the incident, Patrick empathized with the actress and revealed that he would never want that to happen to himself.

Putting it in a rather unique perspective, the actor said that even though he didn’t have any say at the time of his birth, he would like to decide the manner in which he dies.

Interesting!

The actor was recently diagnosed with a coronary heart disease, and described how terrifying the feeling of seeing the doctor each year and seeing his pertinent death is. He expressed that what he’s most scared of is not being able to express himself, and not being able to act, and stated that he would hate to live in that sort of a condition.

But all that Patrick feels in this matter just doesn’t end at his words.

In fact, it also extends to his actions.

This became evident, when the famous actor joined a charity named ‘Dying with Dignity’, which is dedicated to the cause of assisted suicide.

Well, here’s hoping that Patrick Stewart dies a peaceful death after celebrating a life well-lived!

Leonard Nimoy Celebrates His Birthday Even as Mr. Spock’s ears are auctioned!


Hey Trekkies!
A quick Q&A session!
Who, in your opinion, was the most memorable character on Star Trek?


Well, considering the range of brilliantly sketched and enacted characters on the show, and the kind of cult following that it has across the globe, there can never be a unanimous answer!

But if you ask me, the sheer audacity of Mr. Spock’s character makes him the most memorable of them all!
The distinctive looks (the pointed ears and all), the emotional equanimity and the sheer brain power, make the half- human, half- Vulcan, memorable to even the casual observers of the show!

And as if to validate the above mentioned point, a startling piece of news came to light recently.
The silicon latex ear that was worn by Leonard Nimoy in the 1979 Star Trek film, is up for sale through an online auction.

Considering the iconic status of Mr. Spock’s ears, the sale may fetch as much as 700 pounds!
And that for only one half of a pair!

Talk about fan following!

One of the prime reasons for Mr. Spock’s popularity was the impeccable portrayal by Leonard Nimoy.
The actor recently celebrated his 80th birthday with great joy, among his family and friends.
Well, people may not know that Leonard wrestled with his alter-ego for quite some time.
While the world wanted him to continue playing Mr. Spock, the artist within him wanted to diversify.
Of course, success in other endeavors ensured that Leo continued to play Spock for quite a long time!
And such was his impact, that his portrayal is still considered as the benchmark, by which the other actors are judged.

Leo also found success with plays such as ‘Equus’, directorial ventures such as ‘Three Men and a Baby’, movies such as ‘The Good Mother’ and ‘Never Forget’.

Well, we wish Leonard a very happy birthday, and ensure him that his portrayal of Spock will always remain firmly etched in our minds.
Won’t it?
