I Wanna Live Like Common Starfleet Personnel Like You

With the recent news that William Shatner has finally watched himself on Star Trek for the first time in forty years, I think we're long overdue for another celebration of all things Shat.

Star Trek Journeys to "Planet Atheist"

Never mind yesterday's fake teaser. Might this be the first glimpse of JJ Abrams' much-anticipated Star Trek reboot? Okay, maybe not.

Must See: Star Trek

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: Star Trek
Date: 1966-1969

Vitals: A paramilitary science squad in color-coded pajamas grapples (and sometimes makes whoopie) with the unknown. Captain Kirk almost loses control of the Enterprise in almost every episode — usually to a man who's either younger and hungrier, or even older and creepier.
