Wow, I just wanted to say that the Star Trek movie script review that I published this week has easily become one of the most heavily-trafficked posts in the short history of this site–literally thousands upon thousands of visitors during just a few days. It even charted in the Top-100 posts for all of Wordpress (#54, see above–click for full size), with this site itself hitting #78 on the Top Blogs of the Day.
Just wanted to post a quick note about the terrible turn of events for comics writer Len Wein and his amazing wife Christine Valada. An old piece of wiring inside their bathroom walls sparked and set fire to the house. The family escaped–but Sheba, their dog, ran back inside to her usual hiding spot in the bathroom, and never made it out again.
With the world premiere of Star Trek unspooling tonight in Sydney—and no, the International Date Line does not constitute time travel—I thought I’d finally break my silence about the script, as one of the few people in the galaxy to actually read the screenplay ahead of time.
Just in case you thought all I did was flack for my own work on this blog, let me direct your attention to a new Star Trek book that’ll be out this summer, which I’m not involved in, but which will be certain to knock your socks off, entitled SPOCK: REFLECTIONS.
More great Star Trek: The Last Generation covers, this time from the recent past, and therefore not so tragically behind the curve.
