Wow. Nearly speechless. Perhaps the best music video I have seen in years.

My w123 mechanic started his factory training on w123's in the 1970's, and has the same silver mullet this guy has. Pretty sweet!

He sounds like a Kahn-artist.

well at the last 'con I was at there were very few trekkies with a good amount of star wars fans. My friend came with the R2 builders club and brought his R2.



R2's are way cooler than anything star trek.. plus that R2 is all aluminum. It's frign sweet.

Let's get this group to 20...

This is one of my favorite youtube clips. I didn't think anything was strange when I saw the episode, but taken out of context... comedic gold.

Just a note for the trekkies, Netflix has put up the entire first season of Star Trek on their watch instantly list. These are the digitally remastered and touched up versions. Not for the purist maybe, but it is pretty cool to see the special effects and colors catch up with our modern viewing tastes.

This may be a slight deviation, but are there any fans here of the new Battle Star Galactica?
Best show ever on TV [yes, bold claim, but it is "that good"!] Sadly its run only has a few centons left.......

I agree. It is one of the best written shows on TV. The acting is spot on and the effects are really good. I like the fact that it looks like the 1970's with FTL drives!

They are working on a new BSG movie for SciFi right now according to IMDB.
