Trek is back
Some of the people who read this blog have known me long enough to know I'm a fan of Star Trek. I'm now willing to come out of the geek closet for the rest of you.I mention this today, of course, because the new Star Trek movie directed by J.J. Abrams opens today.
As a way to mitigate this nerdiness, I offer this short list of famous people who made cameos in my favorite of the Star Trek iterations, The Next Generation.
- Whoopi Goldberg (I realize this doesn't necessarily help my case)
- Famke Janssen (as Kamala in the episode "The Perfect Mate")
- Kelsey Grammar (in 1992's "Cause and Effect)
- Christian Slater (I swear he was in "Redemption" but IMDB lists him as only appearing in the sixth movie)
- And finally, the lovable Ashley Judd (twice -- once as Wes Crusher's love interest in "The Game" and also in one of my all-time favorites "Darmok")

I saw it last night. I recommend it--just don't look directly into Capt. Kirk's eyes: they're pretty dreamy.
i am off to see it tonight at our local cineplex which i expect to be full of teenagers who for them, this will be their first trek movie.
I saw it three times in three days - once in IMAX format. Fantastic film!!!
