Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek: Voyage to Vengeance
If Quentin Tarantino directed the next Star Trek feature film, it would be the weirdest, bloodiest, most intense Star Trek ever! Luckily, we have some footage that fits the bill in this trailer. This is not for children. Nerdist presents a vision of Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones, and the rest of the crew in a grindhouse B-movie you can't wait to see. (via Digg)

The Scariest Alien Race Ever Imagined
In 1989, Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced us to the Borg, a collective of cyborgs that work together as one unit to capture and assimilate the universe's beings and technology for their own purpose- which is to capture and assimilate others. They are soulless, relentless, more powerful than Starfleet, and growing more powerful all the time. A truly frightening nemesis.
In later episodes, the philosophical question of individualism, free will, and the hive mind are explored. However, over time and multiple appearances in later movies and series of the Star Trek universe, the Borg lost their horror because they were always ultimately thwarted. We also got to know a few individual Borg drones, and they became sympathetic. This video is 20 minutes long, but it's from The Art of Storytelling, so you know it's going to be riveting.

Here Comes Jeffrey Combs
John C. Worsley has unveiled his annual Star Trek Christmas supercut. Who is Jeffrey Combs? He's an actor and voiceover artist who has become the go-to guy in the Star Trek universe. Combs has played nine aliens so far- some of them recurring characters, including the Vorta clone Weyoun and the Ferengi character Brunt in the series Deep Space Nine. On Star Trek: Enterprise, he was Andorian military officer Schran. He also appeared on Voyager and Lower Decks. You need to be a real Trekkie to know all that, but you don't have to have a photographic memory of all the players to enjoy the cleverness of this song. (via Metafilter)

What I'd Really Do in a Holodeck
The concept of the holodeck is a great way for Star Trek to shift over to fantasies far from space travel. Anyone who has seen it will fantasize about what they would use it for, assuming that privacy and confidentiality were assured. Let's see what fantasy Adam Schwartz has in mind for his first experience in the holodeck. (via Neatorama)

Star Trek Zoom Meetings
Artificial intelligence lent a hand in showing us what Star Trek would be like if it were more like 21st century life on earth. Remote work meetings by Zoom have become all too common, even though they are often useless, even when you can get them to work properly. Once you iron out the bugs, then it's a matter of getting everyone involved, and actually trying to discuss something worthwhile. But no, we get background interruptions and that one guy who wants to get everyone to participate in casual Fridays.
We need nonsense like this every once in a while to remind us that the 23rd century might be more advanced than the 21st. At least we can hope. If you want to see more of Worf's casual Friday experience, artificial intelligence has rendered a song about it. (via Geeks Are Sexy)

The Riker Maneuver Causes a Stir
Commander Riker's unique method of getting in and out of a chair has become known as the Riker Maneuver. It ultimately caused some problems among the Enterprise crew, and Captain Picard had to have a talk with him. Notice how he references anonymous complaints and then makes it clear who complained. Long afterward, we found out that actor Jonathan Frakes was dealing with pain from a back injury when Star Trek: The Next Generation was in production, and the maneuver was a less painful way of sitting down -especially in that spandex jumpsuit.

William Shatner as Captain Kirk: An Acting Masterclass
Making fun of William Shatner has become a cottage industry these days. But the truth is, no one else could ever be Captain Kirk the way he did. Rowan J. Coleman breaks down how Shatner boldly went where no one had gone before and took us all with him. (via Neatorama)

Tech Support on the Enterprise
The life of an IT professional is never easy, having to deal with all those other folks who don't understand computers. What makes you think it would be any easier in the future? People will always be just people. Clueless people. Tech support in the Star Trek universe wouldn't be any easier than it is in the real world, as imagined by Bitter IT Guy. He says, yeah, he knows the uniform should be gold, but all he had was a Picard uniform from last Halloween. It makes the face palm look real, though. (via Digg)

Redneck Star Trek: TNG
Artificial intelligence puts the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in to the world of redneck television. AI is not yet perfect- Picard is not drinking ice tea from a Mason jar. That possum is a raccoon. But if you like that, check out the Star Trek: The Original Series version, Beam Me Up Bubba.

Beam Me Up, Sulu
A group of friends in California watched the original Star Trek in reruns and cosplayed as the starship Enterprise crew. As college students in 1985, they made a Star Trek fan film, years before such things became common on the internet. Stan Woo had always admired the character Lieutenant Sulu for bringing Asian representation to TV, and decided to shoot the moon and ask actor George Takei to appear in their movie. Takei agreed! We don't know (yet) why the film wasn't seen for so many years, but the 24-minute movie Yorktown: A Time to Heal was finally released in 2022. You can see it at YouTube.
The story of how Yorktown: A Time to Heal came about 40 years ago and took so long to be seen is the subject of a new feature documentary, featuring Eugene Roddenberry, Jr. as executive producer. Beam Me Up, Sulu will premiere at the Raindance Film Festival on June 25th and will play in select theaters afterward.
