    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

    "I made this device that can fix everything! I found it in my closet, turns out I made it for a science fair project when I was fifteen. Want me to play my Captain Picard voice synthesizer?"

    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

    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

    I can already imagine some Fed guy bitching "Damn Romulans, they all sound a like."

    I hated the character Weasely Crusher but I like Wil the actor and he seems like a pretty likable guy. #startrek

    The truth of the matter is, he's mean to be a real nice guy and also a huge sci-fi and computer geek - he needs more love! #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").

    Kind of an unconventional example, but I'd like to propose the SDF-1 from 'Macross'. After sitting quietly in a lake for a few years, it's launched one more time to repel an alien starship attack -- and where it was able to destroy an entire Zentraedi armada in the past, a single rotting husk of a spaceship is able to inflict massive damage upon it before being destroyed. (Fortunately they fix it later, in time for 'Macross Plus'.)

    How could you possibly forget one of the best stories of this sort ever, LEGEND by David Gemmell.

    The greatest hero of the age comes out of retirement for the last, greatest, most hopeless battle. Heroic fiction at its best.

    Also: ROBIN AND MARIAN with Sean Connery.

    And "The Last Defender of Camelot" by Roger Zelazny. An ageless Lancelot returns for one last battle . . .

    Not science fiction but rather history. They called this guy back, not once but twice to save the day.

    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC?) was an ancient Roman political figure, serving as consul in 460 BC and Roman dictator in 458 BC and 439 BC.[1]
