STAR TREK HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!!!

Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

So when do we start posting "The new series The Next Generation is coming"?
 
Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

^ What? You must be on drugs. Did you bring those back from Woodstock?

Star Trek is dead, I keep telling folks. Get over it.

You know the one guy I'm absolutely sure will never have to worry about working again? George Takei. He's got a guest role on the Courtship of Eddie's Father. I hear he'll be playing a love interest for Mrs. Livingston. I can guarantee you you'll never hear the words "George Takei" and "Star Trek" used in the same sentence again.

*digs into his DVD features, finds a clip of George Takei saying Star Trek and loops it repeatedly*

What is this "DVD" of which you speak!?

Is it like a 8-Track?

Anyway, not only is Star Trek dead for good, sci-fi is a passing fad. Why, I don't think there will ever be, say, a popular film involving people flying around in spaceships and shooting lasers.

It is a device from the future which will eslave the human race and bring it to the edge of extinction.

I wonder why Star Trek didn't play Takei more as a ladies' man...a young Kirk. It's like they'd rather have him looking starry-eyed across that console at Chekov than to be wooing the female alien of the week. Gosh, you'd think they were trying to portray him as gay or something. :wtf:

Well, there is Liberace... :rolleyes:
Just because a man plays a piano...you think he's gay.
It's 1969, my uncle plays a piano and has a male roommate, but he's not gay...not in 1969...at least I don't think so in 1969.

But TV is pushing it in 1969, Mannix has an African-American secretary. I bet an African-American will never be a candidate for president and an African-American woman will never be secretary of state. :rolleyes:
 
Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

Um, in 1969, "gay" still meant "happy". If one was referring to homosexuals, it was "homo" (short for homosexual of course), or "queer". And queer was still being used to mean odd too, which make it tricky to use the word. I remember in the early 1970s using queer to mean strange and my dad yelled at me. *snicker*. I was naive and didn't get what I had done.

That makes me wonder. Exactly when did "gay" come into usage as referring to homosexuality?

Now I have to go and look it up.

C'mon, everyone knows Liberace is a homosexual. It's the worst kept secret ever.
 
Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

Is it really for those who are young or unworldy enough to have not met one?

Liberace was so gay even Peter Allen put industrial caulking in his asscrack when he was around him.

At least Rock Hudson is the epitomy of the straight male.
 
Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

next you will be telling me Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Riley are not hetrosexuals?
 
Re: STAR TROUTS BRAIN HAS BEEN BROILED!!!!!

Charles Nelson Riley is hilarious in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Maybe Paul Lynde could give up one of us jobs to the former actors and actresses of Star Trek. I mean he's on Hollywood Squares everyday and sometimes on Bewitched...he was even on I Dream of Jeannie last year.

Let's see William Shatner, DeForest Kelley, and James Doohan audition for the role of Uncle Arthur. That would be a riot.

Sci-fi's been around since H.G. Wells. While initial attempts at films have been sketchy, with the success of last year's intellectual blockbusters, such as Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey, I predict will usher in a new age of thoughtful, cerebral sci-fi film on colossal budgets. As a film and TV genre, it's evolved beyond mere spectacle.

Defining sci-fi as 'spaceships and shooting lasers', as anything so crass as popcorn entertainment, is dead. It is now to be considered as 'hypothetical scenarios and philosophical questions posed in a fictive medium'. :vulcan:
