The iconic Star Trek theme music penned by Alexander Courage is known throughout the world. And, in a small way, may have launched the career of one of the most popular comedians of the past 15 years. Love his movies or hate them, you have to admire Will Ferrell simply for starting his career in comedy by "singing" the theme to TOS. In a recent Youtube video posted by ABC News, Will talks of his early beginnings in the Southern California comedy scene.

A brand new two-hour documentary special featuring the five captains from our favorite scifi series is set to launch tomorrow night on the Biography Channel. Called "The Captains of the Final Frontier", the documentary will focus on Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, & Archer, while shedding light on the incredible triumphs and epic failures of the most legendary leaders in Starfleet history. The show is scheduled to start tomorrow night (November 3rd) at 9pm EDT. Also, we just learned that our good friend Larry Nemecek worked as a consultant on the show.

In a recent opinion on the case Robinson v. Crown Cork and Seal filed by the Texas Supreme Court, our favorite Vulcan was cited. The case was a challenge to the constitutionality of part of House Bill 4 (2003), which retroactively eliminated all pending and future asbestos claims against Crown Cork & Seal Co, as successor to Mundet Cork Corp. The underlying claims were brought by John Robinson and his wife Barbara against Crown and others. Mr. Robinson was a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran who developed mesothelioma following asbestos exposure during his service as a boiler tender.

Texas Supreme court Justice Don R. Willett cited Spock and "Star Trek II: The Wraith of Khan" in the opinion filed October 22nd, 2010:

We just received word that on October 17th, two brothers from North Texas launched a weather balloon that passed through the stratosphere while carrying a payload that included a Captain Kirk figure. The project was meant to celebrate the importance of libraries in our communities and the Trek stars that attended the Star Trek Fan Days in Plano, TX. Along with the Captain Kirk action figure, 3 library cards, miniature model of the Enterprise, and Doc Brown action figure, the small foam capsule carried a lightweight camera that documented the entire flight. Check out a link to the video below for some truly astounding photos.

Our favorite chef is at it again. Nana Visitor has two more installments on her Youtube channel for your enjoyment. Over here at Subspace Communique’s headquarters our TV viewing is pretty basic. We’re either watching an iteration of Star Trek or a PBS cooking show. Well, now that we’ve stumbled across Nana’s cooking channel we’ve found a way to combine our interests into one giant ball of fantastic-ness. In her latest show we follow along with her as she goes to a local farmer’s market, and then returns home to whip up her findings into a delectable delight. We’re still trying to figure out how she makes and eats all this great food and still maintains her fabulous figure. Nana, if you’re reading, we’d love to know your secret!

We've all pined away for Star Trek: The Experience to make its triumphant return. In fact, just like many of you out there, we hang on every bit of news that comes out of Vegas that might hint at ST:TE's emergence from its long slumber. Sure, we can't sit at Quark's bar and order food and drink, but we can do the next best thing. Make familiar drinks at home in out-of-this-world glassware.

We're live covering the Star Trek Fan Days convention at the Plano center in Plano, TX.  For more info about the convention, check out the full details here.  If you can't make it out to Plan, watch our full coverage below.
