Just watched this. Highly recommend it. While it is about the making of a fan film, at large it more about George Takei’s contribution to Asian American representation and the representation of diversity as a whole. If I needed something to help explain why Star Trek has made such an impact on me, I would point people to this documentary.

Don’t those who experience seizures eat a keto diet?

Please stop making me jealous.

He's Cobb from Inception. He needs a totem to make sure he isn't still in a Holodeck.

He’s part of a music group called the Star Trek Rat Pack (songs about Trek) which features Max Grodenchik, Casey Biggs, Vaughn Armstrong, and Ethan Phillips. They perform the last night of each convention they attend.

EDIT: FYI, this show is raunchy (especially due to the jokes Ethan tells). Not to be seen with your kids.

If you didn’t leave when the API pricing went up, everything is your fault.

In response to how joyful it was to read what Brad and George had to say, I wore this to work.

EDIT: As an Asian Trekkie, it is hard to explain how proud I am to have Uncle George as a role model.

When there is no woman, who throws the furniture?

I actually work in retail.

Why is it that a real life SVU unit in New York existing makes me think Trump will confuse this for the television show Law and Order: SVU?

 

Probably the most appealing recipe I’ve come across. However, the person speaking in the video is a slight bother with their pronunciation.

 

It’s been so long since I’ve seen this movie. Someone just told me that it heavily parallels the episode “Shore Leave”. Can someone tell me if there is any merit here or if this is simply crazy? Please.

 

God damn this is awesome. Hero Within unfortunately has shutdown production due to the licensing for Star Trek. This was part of the last batch they made in January. The inner lining has a diagram of the NX-01 hull, the bridge and situation room.

Hero Within has sold out of most of their items. The NX-01 isn’t even listed on the website anymore, so I can’t even link to the product page.

Bonus selfie of me wearing it.

 

If you’ve seen the TAS-style VOY shorts (no longer available on YouTube), this is the guy behind them. His animation studio was asked to contribute to the documentary.

You can watch the movie by purchasing or renting it digitally; links on the documentary’s website. https://www.sulufilm.com/
