To Boldly Go ....


Well, I've seen a couple of trailers now and I'm convinced. The new Star Trek movie is going to be great. I grew up with Star Trek ... and I mean the original series ... this film has every chance of resurrecting the whole franchise, not that I thought Enterprise was bad but interest in the whole Star Trek universe has diminished series by series until the current all time low. Another childhood hero of mine was Mr Benn ... and so it seemed appropriate that I combine the two in a little cartoon.

If you don't get it then ask someone who would know what wearing a red jumper meant to anyone beeming down to a planet in the original series ... and The Next Generation for that matter ...

  4. Thanks for the comments ... Mr Benn an old childhood favourite and Star Trek .. pretty much the only sci-fi we had in those days that wasn't something to do with Irwin Allen (not that they weren't great too)... can't wait for the Star Trek movie .. we're due a good one and this one looks like being it :o)

  7. How can you say that ? Scotty taught us all so much ... like 'always over estimate so that you can look good when you deliver in less time' ... they never taught us anything that useful in school ....
