Wow, thanks for the Lileks!

i wish star trek: the restoration, would be made... which has an elite force that corrects all the intervening that kirk and his bunch got into... and with the technology today, they could use the original series as footage to include all the violations of the prime directive.

not to mention, all the little alien kirk babies out there... boldly going...

There must be something in the water on Vulcan...

Is there some sort of Star Trek pundit convention happening? This is the third different take on the hidden political messages of Trek posted today.

[tarheelswamprat]

...or letting Joan Collins die so she doesn’t go on to found a Hitler-enabling pacifist movement. (“Yesterday is Tomorrow.”)

Lileks is good, but he missed this one. The episode with Joan Collins was "City on the Edge of Forever", and the correct title of the one he referenced is "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"... /grin
