How wierd is that.

The strangest thing is, how on the button Jackson Roykirk was with his reply. They even photoshopped out boards. Nice prediction Jackson.
The Onion have still done a new Star Trek article, Niice.

I don't think it was a coincidence that they captured "QUINTO'S SPOCK SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY SHOUTING" - it's too lucky, and too awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever did the art for this piece was either a user or at least someone who occasionally checks out these boards.

Always good to start the day with a laugh. "where was the heavy-handed moralizing" indeed.

Someone should offer us a tshirt saying "I liked Star Trek before it was cool".

AFAIC, Star Trek always was cool.

Re: Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'

The "QUINTOS SPOCK SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY SHOUTING" thread has been immortalized on The Onion

As has my 'Cardassian/Romulan Alliance' thread! Hooray, my inner geek is celebrating!

Hmmm. Trekophile.com looks like a much cooler board.

The Onion: Trekkies bash New Movie as "Fun" and "Entertaining"

It's funny because it's true.

"Not one scene was set on a long table while interstellar diplomacy was discussed."

Gotta love the Onion, my wife and I were laughing pretty hard at this video, we've been kinda baffled by all the hate towards the new movie.

"Hey a cool, fun, accessible well made Star Trek movie, who's looking for that?" Makes you wonder how TWOK would have been bashed before it came out if there was an internet in '82.
