A Very Happy Birthday To Star Trek's George Takei

Captain Pyke — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 03:41:36 +0000

All around the globe, 4/20 is celebrated for a very special reason. No, it's not that....in fact it's something even better. It's George Takei's birthday! It seems that every year George becomes more relevant and spectacular. We've seen him a handful of times at various conventions and he's always fascinating (for the lack of a better word). In fact, George will be on stage at the upcoming Comicpalooza in Houston this May. We'll be there as well and on the edge of our seats for his panel. We love George for his acting ability, his whit, his social activism, and because he smells like a million bucks. So, on this very special day, we'd like to celebrate by watching Star Trek VI, tons of TOS, and by sending a very warm Happy Birthday to the man who helped make Trek what it is today.

A Very Happy Birthday To Star Trek's Michael Dorn, He's 59 Today

Captain Pyke — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 05:13:13 +0000

Happy birthday to a very special Klingon security officer, Michael Dorn turns 59 today (December 9th). Michael started off his career in Hollywood playing an uncredited role in the hit Sylvester Stalone film Rocky. He then moved on to black & white, cars that is. Michael played Officer Turner in a prominent fixture from my child, CHIPs. Of course we all remember the irascible Lt. Cmdr. Worf from our beloved Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and subsequent films. On this special day, we'd like to pay tribute to Michael with something we haven't done in a while. That's right kids, it's time for a Youtube Video Round-up: Happy Birthday Worf edition.

Star Trek Youtube Video Round-up: Shats & Giggles Edition

Captain Pyke — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:39:55 +0000

We've expressed our affection for The Shat so many times here on our humble website. We've written many an article, talked about his awesomeness in detail, and covered his attempt to take over the world, one TV show at a time. One thing we haven't discussed is his magnetic personality. Well maybe we have, but that's not the point. From playing Captain Kirk to playing himself, The Shat is simply The Shat. He's a force to be reckoned with and his simple smirk and strange halting laugh is a weapon he often uses from his arsenal. Many a beast has been soothed by it and many Orion Slave girls have fallen victim to it. That's why we give you another Star Trek Youtube video round-up: The Shats & Giggles Edition

This is simply the quintessential Kirk laugh.

Happy Birthday To The Great Bird Of The Galaxy; Gene Roddenberry

Captain Pyke — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 04:19:44 +0000

Today would have been Gene's 89th birthday and to celebrate the life of this extraordinary man, we bring you a special Youtube Video Round-up: The Gene Roddenberry Edition.

It has played out on televisions screens all over the world starting on September 8th, 1966 through to today. So, to celebrate the life & legacy of the Great Bird of the Galaxy, we've scoured the halls of Youtube to find the very best of Gene Roddenberry. Enjoy.

Youtube Video Round-up: The James Doohan Edition

Captain Pyke — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:02:35 +0000

As I was thinking over a few ideas for an article tonight, I realized that we have yet to honor our favorite Scotsman in the appropriate fashion. So, ladies, gents, and all trans-gender species, it's time for the... Youtube Video Round-up: James Doohan edition. As a young trek fan, I don't think that there was a cast member I tried to imitate more than Scotty. From the ubiquitus "I haven't got the power" to "Aye, the haggis is in the fire for sure", I tried them all.

Youtube Video Round-up: Patrick Stewart Edition

Captain Pyke — Wed, 19 May 2010 03:24:54 +0000

He's discovered new worlds and new civilizations. He's boldly gone where none of us have gone before. He's explored the final frontier. All while having to pull down his uniform and gaining his own named maneuver in the process. That's right, you've guessed it. We're talking about the Captain of the federation flagship. Our dear Captain Jean-Luc Picard. More importantly we're talking about the man who brought him to life. The amazingly talented and versatile actor Sir Patrick Stewart.

Youtube Video Round-up: Star Trek Bloopers Edition

Captain Pyke — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 03:15:00 +0000

If your here reading this article, more than likely your a Star Trek fan and you probably no that we are too. We love pretty much everything that's available from our favorite sci-fi series, right down to the funny and sometimes just interesting bloopers that happen on set

This leads us into another edition of the Youtube Video Round-up Star Trek Bloopers edition!! (que cheesy echo) We've scoured youtube for bloopers from every series and even Star Trek XII. Set back, relax with a Raktajino and enjoy!

Star Trek: TOS Bloopers (apparently there were lots of door problems in the 60s)

Youtube Video Round-up: Star Trek Borg Edition

Captain Pyke — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:32:23 +0000

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. That statement alone is enough to give any space ferrying, warp capable civilization a case of the interstellar runs. We as the audience though, love every second of the space zombie madness.

Youtube Video Round-up: Jeffrey Combs Edition

Captain Pyke — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:13:11 +0000

Oh Commander Shran, Brunt, Weyoun, Commander Suldok, and even Penk, how we love you. You're all so different and well rounded characters. It's amazing to us that you all spawn from the same acting genius. Who else could we be talking about other than the wonderfully talented Jeffrey Combs.

You guessed it, it's time for another installment of the Youtube video round-up: Jeffrey Combs edition. We've scoured the interwebs in search of the best Jeffrey Combs videos available. From Weyoun drinking poison to The Shat interviewing Jeff. Check out the embedded goodness below.

Weyoun drinks poison. Hilarious!

Youtube Video Round-up: Deforest Kelley Edition

Captain Pyke — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:07:00 +0000

Yesterday on our Facebook page we posted a link to a Deforest Kelley video montage of his pre-Trek days as a cowboy and western movie star. This got us to thinking, that it's time for another edition of our famous Star Trek Youtube Video Round-up series.

Our favorite spacefaring country doctor is the focus of this episode. We found lots of great videos and fond memories of De Kelley, from a 1976 interview on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow program to rare footage from the 1995 Creation Grand Slam in L.A.. Check out the Videos below and, we sure do miss you De!

Youtube Video Round-up: Lenoard Nimoy Edition

Captain Pyke — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:10:25 +0000

As Trek fans, there are certain things that are a given. First, we think that Gene Roddenberry's vision for the future is something humanity can strive after. Second, we would give up an apendage to actually live in the 23rd and 24th century (maybe that's just me), and lastly that Leonard Nimoy has played an amazing role in Trekdom.

With that in-mind, we've scoured Youtube for videos to add to our latest Youtube Video Round-up: The Leonard Nimoy edition. And, we think we've found some gems. Check them out below.

In the middle of the Earth, from the land of Shire, there's a great litle Vulcan that we all admire......

Star Trek Youtube Video Roundup - THE SHAT EDITION

Captain Pyke — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:00:11 +0000

It's time once again for us to dive deep into youtube and find the very "best" in Star Trek related videos, for you, the humble reader. No, there will be no keyboard cats or hamsters on a piano here. This is a very special Star Trek Video Roundup, that's right, it's THE SHAT EDITION.

William Shatner is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. He's much like our yellow sun, you can't stare direclty at him. You must somehow obscure his shape as to grab a glimpse of his beautiful and mysterious aura. Here are some brief glimpses into what makes The Shat a true phenomenon.

Here's irrefutable proof, the Shat DOES indeed say Sabataage.

Star Trek Youtube Video Roundup

Captain Pyke — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:58:46 +0000

While coasting around Youtube, we found several Star Trek related videos that we've never seen before. Always wanting to share with our fellow trekkers, we thought we would put together a simple post with links to some of the highlights.

The first video is a fantastic interview with our favorite bartender Quark. Well, Armin Shimmerman. He seems like a terrifically down-to-earth kinda guy. Being under his employ at Quarks bar for over 8 years, Darren Benjamin from Trekcast reaffirms that. Well, maybe he didn't work for Armin but he did work for Quark.
