    He's grown up to be a mature geek with a good sense of humor, but back then? eesh. #startrek

    I love Wesley Crusher because so many geeks hate him. I hope he appears in the sequel, travelling back through time to rescue Spock and creating a device to recreate Vulcan. #startrek

    You have a great plot device right there. I would pay to see that.

    Although not the Uhura part. Save that for the extras on the next DVD. #startrek

    @LegalizeRoofies: I've always loved that -- "I loved Galaxy Quest. I thought it was brilliant satire, not only of Trek, but of fandom in general. The only thing I wish they had done was cast me in it, and have me play a freaky fanboy who keeps screaming at the actor who played "the kid" about how awful it was that there was a kid on the spaceship. Alas."

    That would have been so awesome. One of many reasons why I love Wil Wheaton. #startrek

    Wil Wheaton shares some of my tastes & I'm glad he's working. I hate Wesley Crusher & I can't think of a happier moment for me than that one episode where he is impaled through the chest. #startrek

    Leonard Nimoy is such a gent. And yeah Quinto pretty much was Spock. Couldn't have casted that better.

    On another note, horay for Will Wheaton! #startrek

    @ManchuCandidate: Wheaton does seem like a pretty cool, genuinely geeky, fun guy. Until recently when I discovered his blog/he started appearing on The Guild I'd always assumed he was a total dweeb a la Wesley Crusher. Turns out I shouldn't have judged him based on the annoying, whiny character he used to play. #startrek

    In Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, both Allan Quartermain and Captain Nemo are brought out of retirement (and, in the case of Quartermain, opium addiction) to serve the British Empire.

    Notice the trend here?

    Everybody called back is an ALL TIME, CARD CARRYING BADASS HALL OF FAME member!

    When the shit hits the fan, nobody wants to fuck around. You go get the best no matter where they are.

    I mean this list could just be entitled "BAD MOTHER FUCKERS WE FOUND WE CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT".

    And you forgot John Spartan. And John Rambo (the "syfy" link is the massive roids/hgh needed; chemistry is "syfy").

    How bout those crusty dudes in 'Space Cowboys?' Not a classic perhaps, but nice final shot.
