I came across this today and since I am a old fan of the original series, I thought I would break away from my Obama ineligibility and document fraud threads and post something different. The promo is getting rave reviews from everyone who has watched it. Enjoy

Great post! Needed a laugh. I love Shatner at the end “Ok, now you’re over-acting.” And Bill looks awesome for being 82.

Hilarious!

I loved the Gorn episode reference in Galaxy Quest.

In the 1999 film Galaxy Quest, as actor Jason Nesmith (”Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart”) battles the giant Rock Creature on a barren planet (with his shirt ripped off), Guy Fleegman (”Crewman #6”) suggests he try to find the makings of a “rudimentary lathe”.

Unlike Mythbusters, these guys were able to make the Gorn Cannon actually work.

The theory, according to them, is that Mythbusters intentionally sabotaged their own experiment to avoid lawsuits in the event someone tried to do it themselves.

They make the gun powder using the same materials as Kirk, with a smaller bamboo stick, and they shoot the thing a few times.

Woulda been really funny if Shat’s Dobes had run into the room and grabbed it.

:D

I printed that and posted it in the passageway out by the fire extinguisher. Somebody took it down.
