(Jim) Beam Me Up, Scotty

If you're like me and think that about the only thing that could rescue the moribund Star Trek franchise at this point is a big bottle of Romulan Ale and a couple of beehived starlets wearing silver boots and aluminum-foil miniskirts, then you need to read Space: The Wino Frontier.

Yeah, that's exactly right - Star Trek was all about Beehives, Mini-skirts and silver boots.
My interest in this stuff started and ended with Yeoman Janice Rand. Then she met the Evil Kirk, who tried to have his merry way with her, then she scratched his face, and then he did thisspeech about being half a man, and...

You shoulda stuck around for a couple more episodes, Eddie. Trek had plenty of big-haired space hootchies that were much hotter than that goody two-shoes Rand.

I've long thought Synthahol was an abomination.
If I had to live aboard the TNG-era Enterprise, I'd want my job to be Chief Bootlegger.

I thought that pretty much the whole Next Generation series was an abomination, CG. Rick Berman *never* truly understood what made the original Trek popular. Picard was this sort of dull bureaucrat in space surrounded by junior executives. You'd never see Kirk calling a conference in the middle of an attack or drinking tea.
And when did we ever see Jean Luc running around in a torn tunic with a saber?

Yeah! You said it...Original Star Trek was hip to its time - Spock's Beatle cut was truly inspired. Name one decent Star Trek haircut since?
The subsequent Star Trek manifestations all blur into one big grey, bland tech-fest, with crew members who look like they should be working behind the camera.
I'm waiting for Star Trek;The Musical, which would be a big, beehived, twistin', fruggin' deep space happening. Do The Spock...

Star Trek;The Musical
I'd pay to see that, especially if it was produced by John Waters and starred a 300-lb. transvestite in the role of Nurse Chapel.

The more I think about it, I can't understand why they haven't done this already...
